Hmmm! This Ezeobi guy has a lot of vision and he’s one of Africa’s next generation of Billionaires, I sold some cable manufacturing machines to him last year and from my interaction with him personally, he’s going to Revolutionize the cable industry in Africa.

John Ezeobi is a very articulate young man, an industrialist and a philanthropist.
He's constructing a road in our town as we speak.
We actually came from the same town and he is my junior brother but his money 💰🤑 is too much!



Eze ebu na afor, why not be happy for the little achievements of your brother, a very young man at that?
The Coleman you are comparing him with, do you know how long they have been in the market? Do you know the government patronage Coleman enjoys? Why not compare him to kabelmetal, nocaco, miccom cables etc

I saw your other post on page 1 where you infered that Coleman Wires and Cables is not an individual business. This is incorrect. Asiwaju Solomon Kayode Onafowokan is the chairman of Coleman Wire and Cables. He is also the Asiwaju of Remo Kingdom in Ogun State. The Ijebus of Ogun State, Ijesas of Osun State, Ondos of Ondo City in Ondo State, etc, have some of the most business-oriented and biggest manufacturers and industrialists among the Yoruba folks so this achievement of Coleman Wires and Cables as the biggest in West Africa isn't surprising.

The young man of 40 years from your village of Nnewi has done well just like Coscharis and some genuine ones from Nnewi have done, but you DON'T have to angrily (based on your response to the other poster) downplay another manufacturer's or industrialist's hard fought achievements by saying Coleman Wires and Cables enjoys "government patronage" as if they are favoured without merit. If you read the full story of the Onafowokan family, you will know how that company became the largest cable manufacturer in West Africa through hard work.

The MD/CEO of Coleman Wires and Cables which is the biggest indigenous cable maker in West Africa located in Ogun State is George Onafowokan. The Onafowokan family owns that cable company. It's a very trusted and popular Nigerian brand that is certified because of it's very high quality that's also known internationally. Period.

I think you misunderstand me here. Coleman is a company, with a chairman and other directors even though it was founded by a man and they have been in business for long, even when this John Ezeobi was still in primary school. Zobis on the other hand is still a one man business. If you are looking for comparison to Coleman, you should be thinking of Kabelmetal, Cutix, MicCom, Nocaco etc. These are cable manufacturers in Nigeria that you can compare to Coleman, not Zobis

@bestman09,

Aha! If that's what you meant then that's OK. I understand what you originally meant now. You're right. Coleman and the others have all been around for long unlike Zobis who is a younger sole enterprise. Kudos to all of them though as they bravely embark on the quest to fill in the existing gaps or demand for quality wire cables which has NOT fully been met yet in these challenging times of global inflation and economic uncertainties.

I appreciate your honest feedback here.

Cheers.

Rest. While Innoson is trying, it's actually not the number 1 vehicle manufacturing company in Nigeria. There's Nord and Proforce. They just make less noise or there's less noise about them.

Innoson that's all over the place, and I see in west African countries is not number 1? We know about proforce and Nord but they're definitely not number 1
