Finally this company will in the near future move her HQ in Lagos Ikoyi to imo where her biggest oil and gas project is domicile. Seplat will do this easily because she is not shell nor MOBIL, she feels the pain of her host and must do the right thing which is MOVE OUT OF LAGOS.

No wonder 98% of their staffs are Igbos.
I was shocked to the marrow with my observation at their head office.

@OP you think the owner is silly enough to move the HQ to Imo.If he does, that's the end of the company. They will use sit at home finish the company.

Guys the SEPLAT HQ BUILDING ALSO HOUSES ARISE TV.

Now I can connect the dots. 🤔

Ogene001:

I thought Igbos are only gala sellers?

Haba no now, I have well educated Igbo friends doing well.

We have to be sincere, the Obidient movement brought more hatred for the Igbo tribe.

Sit at home is not a project that can last forever. Besides it's already dieing out. The company has it in her policies not to a t like foreign companies neglecting their host. They have massive plans for imo. They have launch their tree planting project of over 5 million trees and imo is where they have started before moving to Delta then Edo.

Keep deluding yourselve. It's obvious you didn't read the post properly to know the origin of that company. I can feel your pain. Seplat is the 7th most valuable company on the Nigeria NGX and NSE. Your confusion won't change that fact. A simple Google will hp you .

Great

I am not talking about anything but the title of this thread

It is wrong

BOTH Avuru and orjiako who are founders of the company are Igbo.

The title is not wrong. It is what it is. That a company is PLC does not mean it has no owner who controls the largest share. I don't know what Grammer to speak before you can understand.

Over funny. Cognitive dissonance is worrying that guy.

The company is quoted on the London stock exchange , chances are that the company is not just a Nigeria company but a multinational.
Now for igbos who can afford it , get your companies to the international stage where you can get the Leverage of foreign backers to expand operations both at home and abroad, the invest back in the east campaign is for big time traders due to how hostile the Lagos environment has become for igbo traders. The critical business of seplat is not in Lagos but in the east. The Lagos office can as well be moved to London or the east.

Be like ABC orjiakor, think Local and act Global , think Global and act local

This is the game , float a company and have foreign funds to expand operations. It does not take away the fact that the founder is igbo .

Uba and transcorp, mtn is still chaired and controlled by a single individuals who at present are not the biggest shareholder in both companies

Haha, but your people were dragging E-Transact, a well known Igboman company, just because yoruba emerged chairman? Anyway, Only two Igbo men are Nigerian shareholders at Seplat. The other foreign shareholders are not individuals but companies

Sorry dude. I can feel your pain as your can't stomach the reality. A simple Google will erase your ignorance. Na Igbo people dominate the executive board of that company . Like I said read without your Igbo hateful heart.

Stop mixing issues . If you want to discuss ETRNZCT go to that thread

Founder is not owner.

If you sell a company you founded you no longer own it.
There is nothing to say that the founder would take it to the same level as new owners.
Rolls Royce was founded by British. Germans own it today
,same as Land Rover
Indians now own Land rover
