You know, some people are not exposed they just sit at home and eat eba,the same way some people do not know you can fly direct from Europe and America to PHC international Airport every day of the year.

you cannot do any CsR if the community chiefs don't allow you. Their boys can even beat your workers. Since its a voluntary scheme, the oil companies will rather succumb to maintain peace.
You are quite correct! wink I know of a community where the oil exploration company operating inside there, wanted to build them a health centre and provide doctors, nurses and medicines, in order to improve the well-being of the people. Maternal mortality would have been greatly reduced by their own estimates, if this was done. This is because the nearest hospital was like 150km away, from that community. sad

The community leaders refused, and asked that the money be given to them instead. sad After a prolonged argument, the oil company's representatives, held a town meeting with members of the community. Guess what the youths and other members of the town wanted? A big hall, where they could hold meetings, drink beer and play drafts. undecided

To cut the long story short, the oil company had to award a contract for the town hall to one of the chiefs from that community. He got 70% mobilisation. 4 years later till today, only 25% of the job has been executed, and the chief is somewhere in Port-harcourt enjoying his life, having pocketed his own share of the money, and sharing the rest with the community leaders. undecided

The chiefs in the community probably prefer taking the money as cash which they eventually use in buying houses in Abuja and overseas to the detriment of basic infrastructure in their communities.
Exactly!! You hit the nail on the head. cheesy All oil companies have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programmes, through which they provide the community in which they operate various amenities, ranging from schools, to hospitals to agricultural assistance.

Not only that, your state govt gets 13% derivation from proceeds of oil exploration activities in such communities. sad Such funds are meant for development. Please go and hold your traditional ruler and his chiefs very well, and tell them to produce the money. angry

Also get a very sharp lawyer to write to the oil producing companies in your region, to carry out CSR Programmes for your community, including rehabilitation of the road. wink

Finally, lead a delegation to your state governor in the Govt. House, and ask him to account for your community's share of the 13% derivation proceeds, which is meant to have been spent on your community. Chikena! undecided

Toun Okewale Sonaiya is a media entrepreneur and broadcaster who has practised in Nigeria and London. Her WFM 91.7 is the first women-centric radio station in West Africa. The innovative radio station targeted at a niche market, came into being when the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) issued a licence to St. Ives Communications (owners and operators of the radio station) to operate a specialised radio station for women and the family.

Toun Okewale Sonaiya: Voice of Women | Guardian Woman | Personality

Ques: What was the gap that you felt WFM would be filling? Are you satisfied with your achievement so far?
"In 2012, we did a study on radio as a tool for women development in Nigeria. We targeted women in the corporate world, businesswomen and female students of tertiary institutions.

The study showed a gap for a women radio and identified only 17. 5 percent of existing radio programmes are targeted at women. 73 percent of the women we spoke to, complained of unbalanced women programmes. They want more programmes to discuss business, money matters, politics, and career, and not just women being seen as victims of domestic violence.

From that study, 75 percent did not like the content on existing stations. It was seen as prejudiced, one-sided, and not representative of the total woman. We knew immediately there’s a need for a women radio station, and wanted to fill the gap. 77 percent women said if programming focused more on representing a complete picture of the woman, they would not just listen but will participate.

They want more women involved in radio management, production, and presentation, particularly women from different backgrounds, which is what we have done here representing the north, south, south-south and east.

Our vision is to use radio as a tool for women development, with a mission to be the leading, trusted and reliable source on all that pertains to the woman and all that concerns her. We are achieving this through the hard work of colleagues and partners. We are grateful." https://guardian.ng/guardian-woman/toun-okewale-sonaiya-voice-of-women/

Ebenezer Ajayi Fashogbon is a Medical Radiation Practitioner(MRP) resident in Australia. He is the owner of GIG Radiology in Australia.
https://www.zimsenpartners.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/GIG-Radiology.jpg

GIG Radiology was founded in Traralgon in May 2005, and was known as Gippsland Imaging Group. GIG quickly grew by acquiring MDI Pakenham and MDI Rosebud sites, in 2009. It was then that Gippsland Imaging Group became GIG Radiology.

In February 2012, GIG Radiology opened a new clinic in Cranbourne North, and soon after that was 100% privately owned by GIG Radiology's very own Senior Sonographer - Ebenezer Fashogbon. Eb led the way with his small and hardworking team to open the fifth clinic at the Arena Shopping Centre in Officer which launched in April 2015. The centre is fully equipped with different kinds of specialised equipment and well-qualified staff.
GIG Radiology also provides a bulk billing service for: Xray, CT, Contrast CT, Echocardiogram and some Ultrasound services.

Bulk Billing is when a provider bills Medicare directly for any medical or allied health service, that the patient receives. Where a provider and a patient enter into a bulk billing arrangement, the Provider accepts the relevant Medicare benefit, as full payment for the service, and Patient assigns their right to a Medicare benefit to the servicing provider, allowing the benefit to be paid directly to the payee provider .

If a practitioner bulk bills for a service, the practitioner undertakes to accept the relevant Medicare benefit as full payment for the service. Additional charges for that service cannot be raised. http://gigradiology.com.au/Bulkbilling

Ade Kassim has had an interesting career as an Oracle Solutions Architect. It is a job that has taken him to Australia, Belgium, New Zealand, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. He was even nominated for Consultant of the Year Award for the Australasia region, representing Oracle New Zealand.

During his journey to different countries, Ade Kassim (or 'Kass', as he is popularly called) dreamt of lush meandering vines, grape-stained hands, and golden light washing over his own vineyard. Life passed through years of travel, career and family, but the dream remained constant until he bought a vineyard, in Australia.

https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_400_400/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAIQAAAAJGMzNjdmYmI1LTY3NGQtNDg4Yy1iZmYyLTAxYjZmMzI2NGI1Yg.jpg

Nestled on the outskirts of Mansfield in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, Kass became custodian of the mature vines, passed on from a man who had planted the seeds, and sown the story. Grape growing is a fine balance between art, science, patience and hard work. To help maintain the symmetry, Kass brought on board, expert viticulturist, Timo to help him create the right blend of wines from his vine. When the grapes were hand-picked, Kass employed the expertise of Ros, an award-winning local winemaker to press the fruit and make the juice

Today, his vineyard produces Vitis Botanica, a light refreshing finely crafted wine, without alcohol.

| REVIEWS OF THE PRODUCT |

An Australian winemaker has achieved with Vitis Botanica what no other winemaker has achieved, and that is captured the alcohol-experience you have, when you drink a glass of alcoholic wine. When I drink a glass of Vitis Botanica my brain actually thinks I am drinking alcohol, therefore I get the heart flutters. It is amazing!!

“Surprisingly light & refreshing! Easy on the palate. Gave my taste buds a pleasant zing. You won’t want to share it with anyone. This sassy, non-alcoholic sparkling delight will compliment any meal, savoury or sweet. Well done, it’s on my favourites list!

You even quoted the percentage shareholding of Statoil, Petrobrass and Chevron. So why are you still going round in circles?? NNPC has stakes in every oil well, because they hold federal govt. stakes in those wells. Tell me, does NNPC not have a stake in Aiteo's oil well too?

Abayomi Sonuga is known to many people, as a dealer of a wide variety of high class cars, under his brand name, Bras Motors. But very few folks are aware that he also owns and sells boats, ferries and all kinds of watercraft, under the auspices of his firm Bras Marine and Yacht Services’ Limited.

https://i0.wp.com/www.thepointng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sonuga.png?resize=640%2C452

Two years ago, he partnered with a few friends to host the Annual Boat and Yacht Exhibition at Bay Lounge, Lekki, Lagos. His company is poised to ensure that clients, have access to brand new boats and cruisers, with top class after sales services and genuine spare parts.

Sonuga's company, which started operations a year and half ago, focuses on the sale, lease, and servicing of luxury boats and cruisers in Nigeria. He signed a partnership deal with Sea Ray Marine, a Knoxville, US-based globally renowned luxury boat and yacht builder with 30 per cent market share. The partnership also gives his company access to genuine parts and accessories produced by Brunswick Marine, makers of Mercury engines.

https://i0.wp.com/tell.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bras-1.jpg

https://guardian.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/SeaRay-27-5-15-Copy.jpg

We are determined to change Nigerians’ perception, about boats and yachts. If you check our prices and compare them with what you would find on the sites of operators in other climes, you would be wondering what we are doing. We just want to convince the market that this is real and not for the rich alone. We believe if we do this; it would go a long way to further boost the industry.

The water transportation industry has not performed up to expectation. The little growth witnessed in the sub-sector is still too low compared with the population of Nigeria and developments in other developing and developed countries. As the only boat and yacht company in Nigeria, I think we would be very fortunate to market 100 boats in a year. http://www.thepointng.com/waterways-fg-lagos-dispute-threatening-investments-abayomi-sonuga/

There is also a chain of restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia called Buka1 and Buka2. They are both owned by Babs Abraham, a Nigerian of Yoruba ancestry who previously lived and worked in the UK before moving to the U.S. Babs Abraham left the shores of Nigeria 17 years ago!

Buka1 was opened in 2005 while Buka2 which opened in 2012 on Riverdale Rd, Atlanta won the award for the BEST RESTAURANT in the ENTIRE United States in 2014 with the support of the American government! grin

Buka1 is mainly frequented by white customers, while Buka2 is very popular with blacks including Nigerians. Nigerian delicacies such as amala, gbegiri and ewedu, pounded yam with efo riro, egusi, ogbono, asaro, ila alasepo, pepper soups - and suya! grin

He says business has been profitable for him in the U.S., and he visits Nigeria regularly, to order for most of his ingredients.

CLASSIC entrepreneur! grin
Great!! wink Wasn't this the same Buka Restaurant that hosted the Nigerian U23 Soccer Team to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, to lunch? cheesy

@ laudate
Thanks for pointing this out.
I think I will have to start using the Nairaland search function more often so that I don't make double posting of entrepreneurs on this thread.
Thank you. wink

Thanks for the info in Itele shoes
on pages 123 and 130... nice thread! grin

Olumide Wole Madariola also established the biggest ultra-modern shoe factory in Africa in Lagos in 2008 named Fut Conceptus at Coker-Orile geared for the export market.

Yiko Deen Footwear is also owned by a 28-year-old by the name of Atunde Olayinka. The company has produced boots for the Nigerian Army and Police.

Another guy is Shoe Speed by Abiodun Folawiyo.

I had done a lot of research over the past 15 years of innovative inventors and manufacturers and I compiled their names and to my surprise, the Yoruba and other Nigerians are very enterprising!

Some people falsely think Ibos are the only ones making shoes, cloths, fabrication of equipment in Aba or Nnewi, but this is the biggest lie. Maybe because Ibos brag or make a lot of noise and the Yoruba, Idoma, Edo, Hausa, etc, don't make a noise for the purpose of validation is the reason some people have this false illusion.

I will upload pictures and info from my database on Nigerians from SW who are major shoe manufacturers, fabricators who own multi-billion Naira companies and are quietly making money without bragging, bespoke suit and cloths makers, manufacturer of Armored Personnel Carriers in since 2013 in Ogun State . [Proforce Ltd which is owned by Mr. Adetokunbo Ogundeyin, and they have supplied the Nigerian Army and other countries with their APC vehicle like PROFORCE 2].

Even in Ghana, there is an indigenous car maker of full Ghanaian origin, so nobody or nation is handicapped mentally and creatively if there is focus!

I respect the innovativeness of Yoruba people and more can be done even if the Yoruba have their own country which I estimate would just
be slightly bigger than Sierra Leone in Area or land mass, but the new country will be a major force in Africa and internationally.
Your input on this thread would be most welcome. cheesy I do agree with a lot of things you said. In fact some of the companies you mentioned, have already been profiled on this thread. wink

Fut Concepts set up by Olumide Wole-Madariola has been profiled on page 215. Am surprised he doesn't have his own website yet though, considering the volume of business he does. undecided

Yiko Deen by Atunde Olayinka has also been featured on page 213.

Shoespeed owned by Biodun Folawiyo can be found on page 133.

Proforce established by Adetokunbo Ogundeyin has also been discussed extensively on quite a few pages e.g. pages 9, 15, and 84

It would be really nice if you could share and upload information on companies, that are yet to be featured on this thread. Thanks again. wink

The IPOB e-warriors have already landed here to abuse Charley Boy, and swear for his ancestors, simply because he dared to give a different opinion about Biafra, their proposed Utopian republic. Hehehe...... cheesy In fact, very soon they will call him an Afonja too, despite the fact that he is from Oguta.

I know the IPOB e-warriors will soon land here to abuse Charley Boy, and swear for his ancestors, simply because he dared to give an opinion about Biafra, their proposed Utopian republic. Hehehe...... cheesy In fact, very soon they will call him an Afonja too, despite the fact that he is from Oguta.

Letter To Fellow Biafrans: I know some of my Igbo brothers and sisters are not happy with me simply because I have not used My Brand as CharlyBoy to advocate for the clamour of The Biafran state.

However, like I always say, there is more than one way to achieve a purpose. Though I may disagree with my Igbo brothers and sisters on the choice of rhetorics and methodology, our objectives are to a large extent identical because we all want to bring an end to the marginalisation of the common peoples, by the evil cabals who are holding Nigeria to a ransom and getting away with their obnoxious impunity and criminality.

Those who truly know and have followed me know that I am not a Group soul and I have always dared to follow the path least travelled in the continuous struggle to add value to my environment.

It is indeed laughable that despite being a native chicken, Nwa afo, son of Biafran soil with a full-blown Igbotic blood, I have been persistently labelled a wannabe Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv and an Ijaw man simply because I have consistently maintained that I believe in the unity of Nigeria.

To start with, I go like tell una sey you may not be totally wrong if you call me the man from all tribes in Nigeria. This is because I believe in the oneness of all Nigerian peoples. I believe that we have gotten to a point in our national history where a Yoruba man cannot live in isolation of an Igbo man. Likewise, an Ijaw man cannot live in isolation of a Hausa/Fulani man. All tribes in Nigeria today have become a mat of interwoven fibres that cannot be segregated. There have so far been intertribal marriages, intertribal business ownership, and intertribal partnership; and countless other intertribal collaborations and relationships in Nigeria.

For this reason, my question to those agitating for secession would be that if each tribe decide to secede from Nigeria today, what then would happen? Who would lead the new nations?

Will the people be happy? Will injustice be defeated in the new societies? Will criminality end in leadership positions? Will there be happiness in the new nations? Will the people finally have a country to call their own? – These are important questions we must ask ourselves and provide answers to before we even start to beat the drums of secession. http://www.naijagossip.com.ng/2017/08/12/biafra-will-not-change-anything-will-increase-sufferrings-says-charlyboy/
