Dr. Ayodele Ikumapayi is the quiet, hardworking, unassuming Managing Director of ASB Valiant Company Limited, an integrated energy solution company, specializing in the turnkey development and delivery of mid-range industrial energy solutions. Some describe him as the 'Visioner' of the firm. His dream is to see homes, schools, organisations and communities powered with 24x7 electricity.

ASB Valiant Company Limited's prime objective, is to deliver an inclusive turnkey solution, which consists of high-quality, modular power plant engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, wherever it is required. It also offers ‘Co-generation’ (i.e. Combined heat and power – CHP) or ‘Tri-generation’ (Combined Cooling, Heat and Power – CCHP) systems.

Their services include (but is not limited to) consultancy, design, engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of tri-fuel (Natural Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas & Diesel) driven power plant and provision of cost effective, sustainable and fit-for-purpose (gaseous & liquid fuel) power for industrial, commercial, educational, government institutions and communities captive power requirements.

ASBValiant installed a 10.87MW (Dual Fuel Gas Turbine) for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Redemption Camp, Ogun State in 2010, to provide the entire community with 24x7 power supply. They also completed a 13.02MW (Dual Fuel Gas Turbine) for Dangote Cement at Ibese, also in Ogun State.

One of their most detailed projects till date has been the installation of the 1st Tri-fuel capacity power plant in Africa using Natural Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas & Diesel. It is a 30MW Gas Turbine, for an IPP Plant known as Ore-Power which is owned by the Ondo State Govt. Work is about 85% completed at the site.

The 16.5MW Dual Fuel Gas Turbine project, located at the Lafarge Cement Plant, Shagamu, in Ogun State, was also executed by this same firm- ASBValiant. http://asbvaliant.com/projects-development/projects/
Another 15MW Dual fuel capacity gas turbine, was also successfully installed by ASBValiant for Standard Metallurgical Company, Shagamu. While First Power Limited, Ijora in Lagos State was able to bring on stream its 13.02MW Gas Turbine, due to this same company's efforts.

The average life span of these gas turbines starts from 25 years. And the equipment operates continuously. This promotes cost effectiveness with guaranteed high availability of electricity and a reduction in operational costs, for either a community or an organisation.

Ikumapayi says "Power plants can be built, either natural gas or on LPG or whatever application. We believe there is a solution, our application is unique.

We have an industrial plant where, people don't really need to bring anything, what they need is to come with their plan and then we know if there is no natural gas from the Escravos power pipeline, you can run alternatively with LPG, so the power plant is there to be able to support the industry.

There are so many misconceptions about the industry. I think that the capacity to make things happen is there, in the country and like I said earlier, government has put in place machinery to make it work. I know that there is also an intervention fund. I hear people say they cannot access it, but people are accessing it." https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/109150/asb-valiant-proposes-industrial-gas-turbine-solution-to-powe.html

Vladimir Putin's speech - SHORTEST SPEECH EVER. 

Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia, live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, it should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim's then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law.

"Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland, and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims.

"When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians."

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.

Copied. . .
This is the best speech ever given by a sitting President of any nation, this year! cool Putin deserves more than 10 rounds of applause, for his speech!

Nigercem: Acquisition crisis deepens as Ibeto group claims ownership | Daily Trust Newspapers |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The resolution of the crisis of ownership that has engulfed the moribund Nigercem Cement Company in Ebonyi State will not be achieved soon.

As the new owners of the company, Ibeto Group went to the premises of the company to begin rehabilitation work. Eyewitness said armed soldiers have taken over the company’s premises, located in Nkalagu, Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, to forestall outbreak of crises as a result of the seemingly unending ownership tussle between the state government and Ibeto Group of Companies.

Nigercem, the first cement plant established in Nigeria in 1954, was privatised in 2002.

Prior to its sale, it was jointly owned by the federal government which had 11 per cent, the five south-east states, 65 per cent and the general public, 24 per cent.

The privatisation led to the emergence of Eastern Bulkcem Nigeria Limited as the new strategic core investor with a 65 per cent stake in Nigercem. But, the failure to resuscitate the old cement factory and obtain import licences for bulk cement forced Ebonyi State government to decide to shut down the plant, revoking Nigercem’s certificate of occupancy.

Ibeto Cement Company Limited, in 2012 acquired Eastern Bulkcem. With the change of ownership, Ibeto Cement now has control of 60 per cent of the shares in Nigercem, Ebonyi State Government, 10 per cent, while the public, comprising institutions such as NICON Insurance Plc and the public owned 30 per cent.

However, the new owners - Ibeto Cement- have not been able to take possession of the plant and recover the certificate of occupancy, because the state government has rejected all entreaties made by Ibeto Cement to realise that goal. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/business/43439-nigercem-acquisition-crisis-deepens-as-ibeto-group-claims-ownership

In May 2014, Honeywell Group revealed that the company has forged a partnership with the United States Trade Development Agency, USTDA, by signing a Grant Agreement for a feasibility study on Honeywell’s N31 billion Sagamu Independent Power Plant project. The project, to be done in phases over the next five to seven years, has the potential of supplying about 140MW of power. The power plant, when it is eventually put on ground, is expected to meet the power demands of industries in the south-western region of the country, with emphasis on Sagamu, Abeokuta and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway industrial clusters. Honeywell’s projection is undoubtedly to ensure adequate power supply to support its move of further expansion into Ogun State. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2014/08/ogun-state-nigerias-new-industrial-hub/
With mineral resources in the state including bitumen, phosphate, kaolin, tar, sand and clay, and especially limestone, some of which the government claims can be mined for the next 500 years, the influx of more industrial firms into Ogun State is likely to be sustained.

“Ogun has the largest concentration of limestone in the country for instance. And of the 28.6 million metric tonnes of cement produced locally in Nigeria, 14 million metric tonnes of this comes from Ogun State,” Ashiru claimed. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2014/08/ogun-state-nigerias-new-industrial-hub/

Global motor assembling plant Lakki
LAGOS—Globe Motors, a leading auto mobile dealer in the country is set to boost Federal Government’s automotive policy from July when it rolls out first set of vehicles from its $150 million assembly plant in Lagos next month.

Chairman of Globe Motors Holdings, Mr. William Anumudu, who disclosed this in Lagos, yesterday, said the company was putting finishing touches to its assembly plant located at Lekki area, adding that the plant had a capacity for 40,000 cars on completion and would generate employment for 3,500 Nigerians. However, the plant will produce about 6,000 vehicles annually for a start, including passenger cars, pick-ups, high capacity buses and trucks. Anumudu added that another 10,000 jobs would be created indirectly as a result of the multiplier effect of the plant. According to him, the company will start with the production of Semi Knockdown parts, SKD, and later graduate to complete knock down parts, CKD, for Hyundai, Higer and Globe Motors brands. He further explained that the company would be assembling three brands of automobiles, including Hyundai (Korea), Higer (China) and its own brand, adding that the company had signed agreements with the Original Equipment Manufacturers, OEM, of these brands to produce the vehicles to global standards. Commending the government for coming up with a policy for the auto industry, Mr. Anumudu said: “We have made a lot of progress in the new plant. We keyed into the government auto policy, though we were hesitant at the beginning, but we have realized it is the way to the nation’s economic development.”

Why not in the SE? So what is the fuss? He is still importing fully built up units, like every other car dealer on the street.

For Coscharis to even survive, he had to set up his assembly plant in the Southwest region. Why not in the South-East? I guess he needed the goodwill of the SW region, and the gods of the Yoruba people, to prosper his business. wink cheesy

Exposed: Chinese Factory, Hongxing Steel Company In Lagos Where Nigerian Workers Die Like Fowl | September 28, 2015 –

Emeka Umoh, a worker with Hongxing Steel Company Limited in the Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos State, was scalded to death after liquefied iron spilled on his body last Wednesday on duty. He died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, where he was rushed to for treatment. Another worker, Adebayo Ajiboye, was reportedly squeezed to death by a compressor sometime in February.

We learnt that there was almost a face-­off between the management of the company and the workers, after the management decided to take the remains of the father of three to a morgue in a tipper. Some workers in the Chinese firm, who spoke with our correspondent, said Umoh and Ajiboye were only two among many others who either died or sustained permanent disability while working with the company.
According to them, workers get involved in accidents on a regular basis due to faulty machines and the absence of safety standards. Twenty ­three ­year old Obinna Eze, an indigene of Ebonyi State, who recently lost three fingers to a compressor, accused the management of the company of disregard for human lives. http://naijagists.com/exposed-chinese-factory-hongxing-steel-company-in-lagos-where-workers-die-like-fowl-nigerians-are-treated-as-slaves/
Who said this company was an Igbo-owned firm? It was established with Chinese investment. The Managing Director, HongXing Steel Company Limited, Mr. Feng Zheng Ke, is a Chinese man, just like most of their management. It has branches in Lagos, Aba, Ilorin. They produce Billets and Iron Rods. It is owned by Inner Galaxy Group, a Chinese consortium.

The name of Chief Henry Oloyede Fajemirokun, is still spoken with reverence in corporate circles, till today. His business interests were captured under his firm, Henry Stephens Group of Companies. Fajemirokun was born a blue blood on 14 July 1926. He attended St. Peter’s School, Ile Oluji in Ondo State, St Lukes School, Oke-Igbo, CMS Grammar School Lagos and Ondo Boys’ High School in Ondo State.

Fajemirokun's entry into the world of business, came through trading in commodities, cocoa beans, groundnuts and cattle bones for export to Europe, under the name of Henry Stephens and Sons Limited, Lagos. He made a huge success of the export business. He also exported hides and skins, rubber, coffee and shea nuts in the early 1950s.

From there, he expanded into shipping. His company owned three Nigerian flag vessels, and operated a number of chartered vessels, while maintaining regular line services between ports in the West African sub region, the far-east and south American ports.

Everyone applauded the success of Henry Stephens Shipping Company, which owned the Nigerian Far East Line and the Nigerian South-American Line. Fajemirokun's penchant to explore new interests then gave rise to the Nigeria Maritime Services Limited (NMS), whose operations included clearing and forwarding, sea and air freighting, as well as free and bonded warehousing. The company also undertook packaging and removal activities with a specialization in door-to-door movement of goods.

At its peak, the NMS was described as the foremost removal company in Nigeria. Nigerian Maritime Services Limited, the shipping company he founded in 1962, is still one of the largest shipping companies in Nigeria today, according to Forbes International.

Another one of his firms was GILCO (Nigeria) Limited which handled sophisticated electrical equipment and machinery, electrical and mechanical power transmissions, marine radar as well as navigational and radio communication devices. GILCO acted as a representative of Hawker Siddley Electric Export Limited (Brush Switchgear Ltd), Brash Transformers Limited, Hawker-Siddley Power Transmissions Limited, Crompton Cables Limited, Chloride Group of Companies and Doulton Insulators Limited.

Others were GEC (lamps and Lightings) Ltd, GEC (Street Lighting Limited), manufacturers of fluorescent, flood and industrial lighting fittings, Hampson Automation Limited, manufacturers of power generating sets, D. Nagata, Midland Electric Manufacturing Company Limited , Aluminum Wire and Cable Company Limited, Sperry Marine Systems, Horstman Gear Company Limited, Safety Products Limited, Gandy Limited and CRC Limited.

A different arm of his company called Henry Stephens Engineering dealt in construction machinery and equipment. It also served as a distributor for many British, American, Swedish and Indian companies.

As his businesses grew, so did his stature in the business community. Fajemirokun held many positions in various Chambers of Commerce. By 1966, he was an executive council member of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry. At about the same time, he was President of the Nigerian American Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Other honours followed. These included Vice President, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (1970); President Nigeria Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Mines (1972), first President, Federation of West African Chamber of Commerce (1972) and Vice President Federation of Commonwealth Chambers of Commerce (1978). Fajemirokun can certainly be described as a business mogul.

In his 52 years of life, he virtually turned the Nigeria corporate terrain, into a mosaic of his foot prints. Apart from more than ten companies in his stable, he also sat on the boards of several up-market companies, both within and outside the country.

Some of these include Marine and General Assurance Company Limited, Schiffarts and Handelgesellschaft Gmbh, Hamburgh Germany. He was also a director, First Bank Nigeria Limited, Non-executive Director Nigeria Krafts Bags Limited, Director Nigeria Sewing Machine Manufacturing Company Limited; Deputy Chairman Johnson Wax Nigeria Limited; Chairman Rank Xerox (Nigeria) Limited and Chairman of the old National Bank of Nigeria Limited. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2017/03/facts-you-dont-know-about-how-henry-fajemirokun-made-his-billions/
He remained close to his roots, however. In 1968 he was conferred with the title of Yegbata of Ile-Oluji, Asiwaju of Oke-Igbo (1971), Lijoka of Ondo (1973), High Chief Orunta of Ifewara (1974) and the Obaloro of Ado Ekiti (1977). The University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife) also conferred on him the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science in Business Administration in 1972.

Today, that business concern he left behind Henry Stephens Group of Companies, is being run by his son Chief Oladele Fajemirokun. And that company is now said to be worth $670 million USD. He not only runs his late father's business empire, Dele also sits on the board of an oil exploration company, known as First Hydrocarbon Limited.

Dele Fajemirokun appears to have also acquired his late father's exclusive tastes. In 2012, he acquired a Maybach 62S automobile which he rode to Nicole and Naetochukwu Chikwe's wedding in July 2012. He and his wife were escorted to the wedding venue by a team of mobile policemen, in Land Rover jeeps. The type paraded by Chief Dele Fajemirokun is the MAYBACH 62S and is said to cost N69.2 million. The car is energized by a twin turbo V12 engine. https://plus.google.com/+9jalife/posts/UB2hrXEksXY

The person that created the states is the same person that effectively ended the regional system! This explains why history has been removed from school curriculum in the zoo called naliejerià.
