rhymeup: A few dat I know that have been around for over 50years. Robb is over fifty. Vaseline, phensic, Venus dey Milo. I do know that pzcussons and unilever have been around over a 100 years. Nigeria as a geographic expression as been around close to 100. Next year wud make it a 100.Great point! i'm really learning from your post. PZ Cussons apparently came to Nigeria in 1899 as just PZ (Paterson Zochonis), and thus has been in Nigeria for over 100 years!. Their history is on their website : http://www.pzcussonsng.com/content/our-history jp philips: the poster said it himself dat he is getting paid, that entitles whoever that answers the right to get paid, it is called buisness if you have forgotten,No comment. There's no point. (This is how to build your nation. your politicians don't owe you sh1t, either). 3 Likes |

PalmTree: Product? No, but First Bank as a brand has been around for over a century.Great observation! I thought UBA was quite an old bank as well? |

Unilever (then Lever Brothers) came to Nigeria in 1923, and as one of the first, their product range in Nigeria is 90 years old this year. Here's a link to their history in Nigeria: http://www.unilevernigeria.com/aboutus/ourhistory/Default.aspx Blue Band Margarine and Close Up toothpaste are also from them. I'm still looking for more products. 3 Likes |

I think this is a great initiative. Does this association have a website? I think a medium where employers looking for short-term talent could pitch in and provide temporary jobs while permanent jobs are not forthcoming. 4 Likes |

surveycash:This is Nigerian Politican behaviour on a small scale. Someone said if you remove 100 politicians and replace with 100 random Nigerians, Nigeria will still remain the same. People complain that it's the people at the top, when we (Nigerians) are the problem. Someone gets a contract to build roads and the default attitude is "What's in it for me?". Someone asks a question on a forum and the default attitude is "What's in it for me?". Nigerians have no right to insult politicians because they would do exactly the same in their position, as they share exactly the same thinking. Better to say nothing. Back to the question: Lever Brothers (Now Unilever ) are a pretty old brand in Nigeria, but I don't think their products have been around for 100 years, as the British started bringing these companies in a few years after amalgamation, 99 years ago. Old brands in Nigeria (at least 50 years old) are ones like Blue Band, Lux, Star beer, Bata, Leventis, Bic. I'll put some more down if I remember. 115 Likes |

I think what you're talking about is a lawnmower. We have some new ones from the UK in Lagos at the moment. I've got the particular one in the photograph available in Lagos, and it's from Argos. Here are the specifications and international pricing: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7304905.htm We have it going for N15,500. If you're interested, let me know on this thread and you can come and look at it and test in our warehouse in Apapa.

Can you locally manufacture natural food preservatives which can help keep fresh produce fresh for longer, from point of cultivation up until they end up on the customers plate? You can sell these for bulk and supply continuously to large scale farms. Can you cut a deal with large pharmaceutical companies like Orange drugs and Emzor, and open a chain of (starting from 1) small, but authentic chemist in rural areas - small towns and villages. |
| Jobs/Vacancies › Reverse Job Adverts - Advertise your skills here by naijacutee(op): 10:45am On Aug 26, 2013*. Modified: 12:24pm On Aug 26, 2013 |
Guys, Let's take a different approach to this whole job thing. Instead of scouring for jobs, can we create a thread where job seekers advertise their skills and what they can offer and organisations looking to recruit quickly? For example - I can drive, use microsoft excel, quick learner. Hopefully employers looking this thread for talent get a chance to see what people have to offer, without having to go through the usual create a job > advertise> screen adverts> interview etc. On the plus side, job seekers can get called up for interviews straight away. 2 Likes |

N950/kg is the additional delivery cost on top of the shirt prices, as they are sent from the UK. It would obviously be quicker for you if you could get them locally, but if not, I can help. |

If you can't find anything locally, I can probably help with Fruit of the Loom shirts from the UK delivered within Lagos at N950/kg |
| Food › Re: What Are The Health Effects Of Eating Expired Or Spoiled Food To Human Body by naijacutee(f): 3:43pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Most people can eat expired food without any side effects. I think the main concerns are a decline in taste, and maybe the packaging might look less attractive. in fact in most Western countries, many families save a lot of money buy buying only expired food, and there are businesses (for example, http://www.approvedfood.co.uk) set up to just sell expired food at less than half the original price. Here is the opinion of medical experts on expired food: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/features/do-food-expiration-dates-matter |

I read somewhere recently that China holds over 97% of the global natural mineral deposit of rare earth minerals used in the manufacture of solar panels. And they have a policy which does not allow export of these minerals until they have been turned to finished product.

| Business › Re: Findings On Good Quality Bread Production Business by naijacutee(mod): 7:10pm On Aug 17, 2013 |
I think it might be worth looking at successful bread production businesses for a start, and analyse where they are getting it right. The first thing that comes to mind for me is Shoprite bread. What is it such an attractive product? Is it te word of mouth? What is it about that bread that makes people prepared to stand in a queue to purchase it - to the extent that they have to restrict purchases to 2 per customer? |
