I have the opportunity of being the first user of a brand new Innoson SUV IVM G5 around the tail end of 2016. I almost had accident on my first trip on ascending a hill as the car couldn't give me traction on trying to accelerate to avoid collusion with an oncoming vehicle. The throttle is also too close to the brake system and it can easily cause accident for an unaware first time driver. The entertainment system is also a poor one as it has no standard entertainment system. (only has radio option and u can connect your USB to enjoy selection of music). The upholstery are not well clad and gives way under heavy weight. It should also be known that the SUV had difficulty accelerating from 80mph and above. I confronted the Sales Manager and he told me the vehicle is pre-installed with a speed limiter. I chastised him that we were to also be pre-informed as that can easily cause accident. After rocking it for like 3 weeks in the East, we finally agreed to make the journey to Lagos with it. The journey to the east was a smoother journey than the intra state journey we had as I was able to reach a milestone 120mph with it. The Engine : The engine capacity seems inappropriate for the expected performance from the car. The cooling system : This is sub optimal as it still doesnt cool well even at its highest regulation. The Tyres: This seems to be the only bright side to the car. Though Chinese make of tyre, they looks good and performed well considering the fact that we used the vehicle heavily within short period. General Appearance : It Appeared great looking at it from the outside. Rating : On a scale of 1-10, I will rate the SUV 4. I had so much enthusiasm in riding a Nigeria made SUV as I am an avid supporter of Mr Innocent Chukwuma's aspiration but in all honesty, the vehicle fell below expectation. There is so much room for improvement but I must commend his effort to try at all.Pricing: Was sold between 10m -11m( I don't want to quote exact amount as our purchase price may be a concessionary price as we are very close to the' system'. It was a great price then as no brand new SUV of that stature was going below 20m then. My Submission : I enjoin our eastern brothers to patronise this company more as I saw most of the Anambarians patronising more of the very expensive imported cars rather than patronise the great Innoson products. Mr Innoson also needs to do more of advertisement and road show with the array of his products. That is my untainted submission on the SUV.

Morning pls do you still hv storage tank farms in soaps fr lease for ago 07034770232

ozimec:
Bros, I no be mechanic o.
Anyway, I am a member of an organization that patronizes innoson vehicles for over 6yrs now. The vehicles are strong, easy to maintain, the parts are available. I also know another organization that uses their buses for up to 7ys now. You can still make your personal inquiry for further info.

natehis:
I work with an organization that has a lot of innosons' pick up. Sorry to say that a lot need to be improved in the vehicle. Never going to recommend it to an enemy self. It is BAD for business.

ozimec:
Brother, Innoson vehicles are one of the strongest available, stronger than most vehicles you know. both the buses and their sedan, suvs and pickups are very strong. they are very rugged. I have seen all

Qualitec Industries Limited is one of the three leading aluminium makers in Nigeria, whose basic business is to manufacture aluminium coils and roofing sheets.

It began in the early 1980s with the manufacture of pots, pans and other household utensils at Ojokoro area of Lagos State. Later on, the factory was sited in Lagos but was recently moved to Ota, Ogun State.

A fully incorporated company, Qualitec primarily manufactures aluminium coils for various industrial applications, while also supplying and installing stone chip roofing sheets and flashings of various sizes and designs.

Generally, the company’s product line comprises cast coils, mill finish aluminium coils, coloured coated coils, roofing sheets, step tiles and flashings.

While the company’s corporate office is located in Lagos, its factory is situated at Ota, Ogun State. At the Ota factory, about $100 million investments have so far been made in new plants, machinery, captive power plants and resuscitation of existing plants. There have also been investments in ingots, which are raw materials used in making aluminium.

A second production line is being installed, while machines that will be required, alongside technicians that will operate them, are expected to arrive in Nigeria soon from Turkey.

In Nigeria, players in aluminium and extrusion industry collect wastes and then package them for exports, while demanding bragging rights from the government in the form of export grants. “But we do not do this, because we believe in the industrialisation of the country,” said Qualitec’s managing director.

Qualitec Industries has 2,000KVA and many 500KVA generators that power the factory. There are also captive power plants as well as over four gas generators, which serve as alternatives during power failure or once generators disappoint them. The consequence of this is the high cost of energy for Qualitec and consequently production costs. “We spend N15 million monthly on diesel,” the managing director said.

Despite the fact that, these investments are made by one man, even without necessary assistance from the government, Qualitec’s products’ quality is not compromised. A lot of aluminium dealers in the country depend on Qualitec for raw materials.

Amazing! Nigerian Movies Gross over N1 billion in 2016

Here’s how 2016’s Top 10 Chart looks like for Nigeria – Please note that not all the figures are verified rather we have used Filmhouse Cinema’s weighted average market share to come up with box office estimates for films not released by FilmOne.

The Wedding Party – FilmOne Nollywood – Over N500 million - Yoruba Producer
A Trip to Jamaica – FilmOne Nollywood – N178.5 million - Yoruba Producer
https://howng.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/The-Wedding-Party.jpg

October 1 was very successful at the box office. It grossed approximately ₦60 million at the cinemas, making it the second highest grossing Nigerian film in Nigerian cinemas at the time of its release, tying with Half of a Yellow Sun. As of January 2015, The Nation estimates that October 1 had made a revenue of over ₦140 million, when its box office revenue is summed with the revenue generated from its numerous special screenings. In an interview with Nigerian Entertainment Today in February 2015, Afolayan also disclosed that the film had made over ₦100 million in 6 months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1_(film)

“We like to think of ourselves at LifeBank as a technology and logistics start-up. We use technology to discover blood and deploy this information to the hands of our hospital clients.

“Then we deliver the blood they ordered to their hospital within 55 minutes.”

“It’s not a poor people problem, it’s not a rich people problem, it’s everybody’s problem… We like to think that we’ve made the blood donation easy and fun with our app.”

Explaining how the system works, Giwa-Tubosun said: “Let’s say you’re a donor, I register on the platform and I book an appointment, LifeBank finds the closest blood bank to you.

“It books an appointment for you at the blood bank. You go to the blood bank you give blood. We have about 3,000 donors registered on our platform who’ve agreed to give blood to save lives.

“Our goal is to get to one million active donors for our donor app. We also have a goal to get to every hospital, every single hospital within Lagos in the next two years.

Bankole Cardoso: CEO, Easy Taxi Nigeria

Stella Adadevoh’s Son Bankole Cardoso opens up about Her Last Moments
On the last time he saw her and her last words: The last time I saw her face-to-face was the day I went to the centre to give her, her footwear and her iPad. She was physically very weak. This was someone I had never seen fall sick in my life. But then, she was physically very weak. I took all the stuff to her and put it through the door, she had to go and collect it because I couldn’t go into the room.

We spoke through the window, I was crying. But she was adamant, she said, “Don’t worry, son. This thing is not going to kill me, but I am very proud of you.” Those were the last words she told me. This was about 10 days before she died.

The WHO doctor, Dr. David, told us that it was only a matter of time (before she died), that we should expect the call the next day or in the next week. We were waiting for the call. But he kept telling us that it was a matter of time— it was worse than receiving the actual call. And she had such a strong belief. Her last words were "Blood of Jesus," according to the doctor.

Established in 1939, Lisabi Mills Nigeria Limited, is the oldest indigenous food-processing company in Nigeria. The company’s longevity and reputation are a major accomplishment, in a context where few food-processing companies survive beyond
a few years.

It was also one of the first companies to introduce fortified products, beginning in 1984. The company’s reputation and success have been built through pursuing a model based on premium-quality products and strong brand reputation. Lisabi Mills’ key strength is its reputation and loyalty across generations of consumers.

It has been successful in achieving acceptability for its products among its core consumer groups. The company achieves this by focusing on traditional foods, to which it adds value through fortification and convenience. To support its reputation for supplying quality food, the company has developed rigorous quality-assurance procedures and has invested in a testing laboratory and other technology, in order to ensure that its products meet national and international standards.

While many mid-size companies in Nigeria misrepresent the ingredients and quantities in their products, Lisabi Mills is committed to high standards of integrity. Its products have received quality certification and awards from industry associations .

Based in Lagos, Lisabi Mills produces a wide range of traditional and convenience foods marketed across southern and central Nigeria. It is a mid-sized company which operates in relatively niche markets. It holds substantial market share, in several of the product categories in which it operates. In these markets, the company competes against both multinational corporations, large Nigerian corporations and other mid-size companies.

For companies to provide nutrient-rich and affordable foods, they need reliable sources of good-quality inputs at low cost. However, Lisabi Mills’ strategy is to source domestically whenever it can. For several of its products, Lisabi Mills sources domestically - these include cowpea (bean flour) and yam tubers, which are provided by aggregators or middlemen. Such supplies encounter the familiar problems of variations in quality and price fluctuations, in particular for cowpea.

In 2008, it won the following awards:
● Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme award (for Gold’s Custard), from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria
● National Quality Management Award, from the Quality Management Development Institute
● Blue-Ribbon Complementary Food Award from the Country Association Network2 and UNICEF

The N-Power programme is an ambitious project of the President Muhammadu Buhari government which hopes to buy 500,000 computers for the 500,000 unemployed graduates it is about to recruit and deploy to schools and other sectors. The Office for Nigerian Content in ICT as well as the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) have voiced their preference for the patronage of local computer manufacturers in the course of executing the project, arguing that it would not only arrest capital flight but also help to create jobs within the country.

Impeccable presidency sources said three firms namely: Brian Systems, Zinox and Softcom, had been shortlisted in the bid process. http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/08/30/n-power-nigerian-ict-firms-decry-alleged-non-patronage-local-products/

In his response, Balogun assured the Minister that Brian Integrated Systems promoted by Balog Technologies would increase capacity so as to meet up with the capacity building project of the government, that will put digital tools in the hands of students for the challenges of 21st century society. According to Balogun who is also the President of Computer and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria, (CAPDAN), "We have the capacity to partner with the federal government on this laudable initiative. Our products including Brian Platinum Laptop, Brian Gold Laptop, Brian Classmate PC and Brian Platinum Desktop among others, have the state-of-art-technology to support the students PC ownership scheme."

Brian Integrated Systems Limited, one of Nigeria's certified indigenous system builders has announced it readiness to unveil its tablet phones.

Mr. Tunji Balogun, managing director and chief executive officer of the Company told Nigeria Communications Week, that Brian has been monitoring the market, and has discovered that very soon laptops and desktops will be replaced by touch button and touch screen phones.

“So, we do not wish to be left behind. Our tab is a bit different and higher than what is obtainable in the market today. Some of them come in wireless form with USB provision. Most tabs in the market now do not have USB spaces and that limits the user who cannot pair an additional device or his personal software, with the tab”, he said.

Nodding in agreement, Olaide Balogun, Managing Director, Balog Technologies, the driver of the project - described the tablet as one that will give foreign brands a run for their money; hence the features are user-friendly and related to Nigerian environment.

She said: “Our Company is a forward looking one and with the current trend; people are now looking forward to touch-centric communication (phones) gadgets. That actually spurred us to move into invention of tablet. It’s a 4.1” tablet with clear camera dimension. On a special note, it has USB some popular brands do not have. That has been a limitation to the end-user, but we are cutting off that barrier. “The tablet is light weight, portable and various colours. It also has WiFi-3G, so no limitation; the user will always be on the go,” she said giving a brief description of the tab. http://nigeriacommunicationsweek.com.ng/telecom/brian-computer-to-unveil-own-tablet-phones

“Before now the company was using the old fashioned permanent clamp kiln with a capacity of 20 million standard bricks per annum.

“We were using the clamp kiln for firing and open air-drying process. Now, we have moved to artificial drying, which is a major step that increased the capacity of our production from barely four million bricks per annum to 20 million bricks,” he said.

Adeyinka disclosed that the factory was sited within the Olapeleke environment because the required clay deposit is found in the locality. The company has a mining licence from the federal government.

On the demand for bricks, he said: “There is a huge demand for bricks in the country. We have been able to convince some arms of government adopt bricks in the construction of houses. As a structural engineer, there are some structures; we deliberately recommend that it should be light loaded due to the characteristics of bricks. Bricks are lighter and if you want to reduce the load on a particular structure, we advice the builder to adopt clay bricks. That is another source of demand."

“What we are doing with Amide is a silent revolution. We’re setting up a Nigeria Brick Industry Institute like in the United States, which membership will be opened to the public. It will be a forum to exchange ideas.” He added.

The director, Subsidiary and Production, Sparklight Group, Adeoye Adeyinka explained that there are three major steps in the production process. https://guardian.ng/property/amide-seeks-ban-on-clay-bricks-import-launches-n4-5b-factory/ ; https://www.today.ng/business/154242/firm-ramps-nigeria-brick-production-20m-yearly

The Story Of Ijebu Businessman, Alhaji Adegunwa ~ City People Magazine ~ April 9, 2017

The story of renowned business mogul, Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa, can be likened to the proverbial Grass to Grace. He started his career as a Photographer and with the grace of God, he stepped up his game and became a big player in the Photography business.

He rose to become a big importer of photographic equipment before he veered into other areas of investment. Today, he owns several companies and he plays big in real estate and banking.

When this Ijebu businessman, turned 70 last year, he was celebrated in a big way. The stylish and deeply religious man has positively touched so many lives. For decades, he has been actively involved in philanthropy. He has, however, been silent about it.

In Ijebu, his image looms large because of his kind gestures. He is from Ososa Ijebu, the land of birth of the late Theatre icon, Hubert Ogunde, of blessed memory. He has also established businesses in Ijebu just as he did in Lagos. He also built a big mosque in his home town.

He recently completed a big multibillion dollar factory that has provided jobs for several Ijebu youths. If you approach Ososa town from the Benin-Sagamu expressway you will see the very expensive factory where he produces his RITE sausage rolls, and soft drink. That is what he has always been known for. His past achievements prime him a better prospect to industrially lift Ijebuland . A harbinger of good things, he is, by his present dispensation going to script a glorious future for Ijebuland.

His economic empowerment stride is spectacularly lifting Ijebu people out of quagmire of poverty. As he knows the benefit and value of kindness and selflessness, he keeps living those values. He is living an exemplary life, which is a source of inspiration for future industrialists. He treasures without any inhibition, love, integrity and hard-work as values

At 71, he is still vibrant, quick-witted, sharp and focused as a prodigy in his teens. He is a model of tenacity of purpose and resilience, which have remained his benchmark. Strong, and courageous, he has never for once reduced the urge to strive higher for a much larger business conglomerate. His unquantifiable contributions can be appreciated in major areas such as business, philanthropy and national unity.

Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa has perfected the art of working silently, and letting his achievements speak for him, but then, success is a gold fish that has no hiding place. He has succeeded in getting his name written in gold. Thus remaining at all times an invaluable giant.

He is the Founder & Executive Chairman of many companies like Fototek Industries Ltd, on Opebi Road, Ikeja. He set it up in 1980. The company, is a conglomerate with its sister company, Photo Palace Ltd. It operates photo labs, boasting of 56 branches across 28 states of the federation. The company also engages in sales of photographic equipment and materials. Please read the rest here: http://www.citypeopleonline.com/fototek-boss-adebola-adegunwa-started-photographer/

Starting a beverage industry that is undertaking all operations in Nigeria has been quite a challenge, especially with consumers remaining very adamant to change, especially with the mentality of not wanting to try out new brands. They have been able to win the hearts of Nigerians with top quality and their taste not differing from that of their giant rivals.

“Rite Foods is committed to building a sustainable brand alongside the community, reducing environmental damage and providing inclusive work environment for employees.” “In terms of hygiene and quality it can never be better, because we use the best machinery, best practices and zero human interference,” says Seleem Adegunwa.

Being an industry that undergoes all operations in Nigeria, they have been able to employ over 3,000 youths which is an estimate of the number of youth corpers in one batch stream in Lagos, in just three years of establishment. And not only did they create a large number of employment, they also provided them with staff accommodation within a stone throw from the office that makes working stress free. https://blog./rite-foods-online-success-story/
