Olateju Oyeleye was an engineer, broadcaster and skilled manager of men and resources. He started the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) with his friend in the late fifties. After studying engineering in the UK, he joined a broadcasting station, on his arrival in Nigeria. He rose to become the General Manager of the Western Nigerian Television - Western Nigeria Broadcasting Services (WNTV-WNBS), the first television station in Africa. During his tenure, the coverage of the station was significantly expanded. https://www.nae.org.ng/fellowsimages/engr_o_oyeleye.jpg From there he joined Total Nigeria Plc as the General Manager, from where he rose to become the Group Executive Director, of the downstream oil company. Under his watch, several of its subsidiaries such as Nigerian Gas Cylinder Manufacturing Company (NGCMC), Ibadan; Total Industries Ltd. Koko; Total Agrik Ltd., Olokoto (now Yakoyo Agrik Ltd.) and Rhone-Total Nigeria Ltd, were developed. Unfortunately, the NGCMC closed down several years later, due to several constraints. He retired from Total in 1992, to establish his own engineering and management consulting firm, and Yakooyo Agrik Farms. He died on July 8, 2013 at the age of 89 years. In 1958, Engr Olateju Oyeleye and Chief G.O. Aiwereoba formed the Nigerian Society of Engineers in London, England. After several meetings, the inaugural meeting on the Nigerian Society of Engineers was held at the Nigerian house in London, in February that same year. |
giftedben:Kindly speak for yourself. The scenario you described, may have been peculiar to your own institution, or to a few public institutions within your vicinity. It is not the same scenario in all other higher institutions in Nigeria, especially the new private universities. In many cases these days, you submit assignments online, and provide CDs/DVDs copies of your work to your lecturers. In some private universities, the computer science students are also encouraged to take professional Microsoft exams and get Cisco certifications, while studying for their first degrees so they can be fully prepared to fit into the ICT world. ![]() |
omofunaab:You are quite right. Responses from bigfrancis21 on a few threads, have actually made it clear that he did not get the memo on how mods ought to be impartial and objective. Or maybe he got it, and just chose to discard it. Who knows? |
deomelo:You have used a picture of Dr. Ladi Bada to illustrate your post here, instead of Kola Karim. Dr Ladi Bada is also a Director of Shoreline Energy Resources. Please see the picture below. This is Kola Karim, Chief Executive Officer of Shoreline Energy International, an energy and infrastructure company focused on Africa. His current portfolio consists of businesses in the construction, commodity trading, agro-allied products, oil, gas, engineering and power sectors. https://www.biznisafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Kola-Karim-600x300.jpg |

Fut Conceptus Manufacturing Limited, the shoe and leather products manufacturing company which is reputed to be the biggest in whole of Africa, is owned by Olumide Wole-Madariola, who is the Chief Executive Officer. Wole-Madariola is an industrialist and entrepreneur. He is also a security consultant and Chairman, Lagos State Police Stakeholders Forum, which serves as one of the consultants to the Nigeria Police. https://www.winne.com/country/ssa/nigeria/2010/cr/cp/conceptus-manufacturing/images/logo-futwear-big.jpg https://cdn.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Olumide2.gif https://www.winne.com/country/ssa/nigeria/2010/cr/cp/conceptus-manufacturing/images/image2.jpg https://www.winne.com/country/ssa/nigeria/2010/cr/cp/conceptus-manufacturing/images/image4.jpg As a young man, he had the opportunity of selling shoes for his grand father who was one of the first set of distributors to Lennard, in those days. As he grew older up, he dreamt of opening shops and selling shoes, but never thought of setting up a leather footwear factory. His shoes which are branded as FutWear are made in African, Spanish and Italian styles. They meet international standards and are exported around Africa. It has also established operations in Spain and the United Kingdom. Started in 2008, the company got off to a good start by seeking out the best expertise to train its staff. Shoe-making experts from Spain were brought in to do the training. The company also imported top-quality machinery from Italy and Spain to make sure its operations were modern and efficient.These first, smart moves have meant the company is able to run an efficient and high-skilled operation in Nigeria, while also making its products to international standards. https://www.winne.com/country/ssa/nigeria/2010/cr/cp/conceptus-manufacturing/images/image1.jpg What is known as Fut Wear today was a product of my six years of research in Spain. We commenced training operation for local staff in year 2008 and employed highly experienced Spanish hands operating extensively in the leather industry.Their range of products covers anything that has to do with leather, from Men's Shoes, to Women Shoes, Kiddies Shoes, Belts, Bags, Gift Items etc. Fut-Conceptus early this year was said to have bought over Nuneco, a leading footwear company from Spain in a deal that was said to be worth several millions of dollars. https://www.nollywoodgists.com/news/3094/bukky-wright-emerges-face-of-fut-conceptus.html https://img.weiku.com/waterpicture/2011/5/31/22/safety_boot_black__634435700319930777.jpg https://img.weiku.com/waterpicture/2011/5/17/16/Safety_Shoe_brown_swede__634412569600974255.jpg https://img.weiku.com/waterpicture/2011/5/22/7/Law_Enforcement_Boot_634416782932312144.jpg https://img.weiku.com/waterpicture/2011/5/22/8/Male_Mocassin_Shoe_black_multi_colour_sole_634416782939332157.jpg |

hilroy:Nice. NDEP has already been profiled on page 199. |
Oxtonguy:I know it takes time, but it helps to avoid the repetition and duplication of entries, that could end up making the thread quite boring to readers. |
hilroy:I agree. I initially profiled a few upon the request of one or two people, but then I stopped because I realised their businesses were either no longer in existence, or their profile did not fit into the picture of contemporary business/organisational & industrial sectors, that we were trying to highlight. cc: Kn23h, what do you think? I would appreciate your thoughts on this. |
Oxtonguy:Kindly just use the search button on NL. ![]() |

@mercyville, Pls may I suggest that instead of drawing up such a long list, it would be better to just go through the thread to check who has been profiled, before listing those who have not been mentioned at all. It would be faster & easier that way. And it would help us avoid repetition, which could make the thread quite boring. I do hope you understand. Thanks. ![]() ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Laoye Jaiyeola Akinpelu Obisesan Jacob Odulate - Yes, he was mentioned on page 122, and highlighted, on a few other pages.

mercyville:Hello, please see my responses to your enquiries. |
MasterChen:Sim Shagaya is not Yoruba. He is from Plateau State. ![]() |
AnonyNymous:Unfortunately, I do not have the current cost of refining ATK, DPK and HHK at my fingertips, in order to make an appropriate comparison. I'll search for it and let you know. Thanks. ![]() |
AnonyNymous:Oga, your post made sense to me until you got to that part about kerosene. There are different types of kerosene. There is Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), which is also known as Jet A1 or aviation fuel. It is the fuel used to power aircraft. There is another type known as House hold Kerosene (HHK) which is meant for domestic use. There is also Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) whose parameters are a combination of both ATK and HHK. It can be used as aviation fuel, and also as cooking and heating oil, hence its name dual purpose kerosene. You can never use HHK as a substitute for ATK. The specs & parameters are different. The degree of purity in each one is quite different, which is why HHK cannot (and should not) be sold at the same price as ATK. |

Ikechuob:Another empty, pathetic meaningless rant from you, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. You are now asking "what offence did I take?" Go back and read your last post in which you mentioned my moniker, and you would see it. You were so pained that you embarked on a spree of insults and name-calling, both in that post and in your new response to me. You keep chanting the phrase "inferiority complex" as if it is your middle name. Well, since you are so familiar with the condition, you must be suffering from an acute dose of that complex, because you have chosen to vent your anger in this vacuous, meaningless tirade. ![]() Yes, I stated that the writer was Igbo, because the name 'Egbejulu' sounds Igbo to me. Now, if he is not Igbo, all you and your ilk had to do was provide evidence to show that he was not Igbo. Why was that so difficult for you to do? ![]() I was not the one who claimed that a Yoruba man was richer than Ojukwu. All the comments I made about Ojukwu, concerned his Rolls -Royce. Thankfully, FemiMaduka provided evidence that laid that controversy to rest. Well done, FemiMaduka. I owe you a bottle of the best bubbly. You alleged that evidence was provided and dismissed because it came from the "the Nigerian media." Well, I never mentioned the Nigerian media in my post. So you need to direct your tirade to whoever did so. You are obviously blinded by the hate you have for me, that you are ever so willing to ascribe any real or imaginary sins to my moniker. Good, It makes me happy that you get so disturbed at the sound of my name. Hehehehe..... ![]() Just for the record, I never insulted Forbes editorial policy. Kindly provide evidence in black & white of such an insult. A rather mischievous member of your clique, was even the first person to bring up Forbes editorial policy. And I agreed that they had one, but that the writer of the piece did not do adequate research before going to press. Only someone with your own queer imagination, would interpret that statement as 'insulting Forbes editorial policy.' Finally, you have been throwing tantrums alleging that Laudate is Yoruba. Let me laugh very well in Chinese. I have asked you and your ilk on so many different threads, can you please provide solid, incontrovertible proof showing that Laudate is Yoruba? Till date, none of you have been able to do so. I do not deny that I have great respect for the Yoruba people, just like I have for so many other ethnic groups in Nigeria. If that fact offends you so much, then sorry, I cannot do anything about it. But I must admit though, that your rabid, childish tantrums delights me to no end. You keep throwing screaming fits, claiming that Laudate is Yoruba, as if those allegations would put an additional naira in your pocket. I find it so hilarious. So let me beg you once again in the name of Chineke God, please provide evidence to show that Laudate is in fact Yoruba. Include the name of his town, traditional ruler and local govt area while you are at it. Every correct answer gets 25 marks! ![]() I have contributed to so many threads on NL, which concern different ethnic nationalities ranging from Edo, to Yoruba, Igbo, Igala, Urhobo etc. yet, no one has ever succeeded in entertaining me with his tantrums, and fits of apoplexy like you do. Here you go, have the floor. Please chant your favourite slogan again of how you believe Laudate is a Yoruba man. Throw another tantrum. Unleash a new set of swear words. Make a delightful spectacle of yourself. We are waiting! ![]()

prodigy24:Wetin dey bite you? Did they not sing praises of how they were the best in deploying technology, and making technologically advanced products? They even poured scorn on the businesses being featured on other threads, claiming it did not match their acclaimed manufacturing standards. I only asked why you and the rest of your crew, are now showcasing franchises. Dats all. Are these franchises now as important as those other companies engaged in manufacturing and other areas of technology, that your people claim to dominate? ![]()

Atunde Shamsideen Olayinka did not set out to be shoemaker, despite his love for shoes. But along the line he learnt the trade and fell in love with it. Today he owns a shoe making outfit that specialises in making not just dress shoes, but school sandals, dress shoes, industrial safety shoes for construction and oil & gas companies; and combat/jungle boots & service shoes for the military and paramilitary institutions. His company is known as Yiko Deen Footwear, and their slogan is "Keep Nigeria Walking." https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6E1bcnXQAApGrw.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5-SoAbUsAAHha8.jpg His firm boasts of a capacity to make 1,000 pairs per day. The factory, which is located in the Surulere area of Lagos, makes footwear built to the best acceptable international standards. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5XYyUTWYAIF-DB.jpg Just this year alone, the company has manufactured and supplied over 6,000 of pairs of shoes and boots to the Nigeria Police Force, and donated over 2,000 pairs of children school shoes to kids in different parts of Lagos. Yiko Deen Footwear designs were exhibited at the Micam shoe festival at Milan, in 2016 on the same platform as designs made by renowned brands like Gucci. By the time they returned, the firm had secured a deal to produce and deliver 1,000 pairs of safety boots, for oil companies in Serria Leone. https://www./yiko-deen-footwear-putting-nigerian-shoes-industry-global-festus

Or maybe he got it, and just chose to discard it. Who knows?
But what about those banks owners.
