To the poster directly above me...

The last time that post was given to a Nigerian he tried to drag the company into partisan politics during the "Obasanjo Third term agenda" for his own selfish gains

God bless you, it's our job to educate the ignorant.

Festus Odimegwu

The incompetent flatskull ran NB Plc like his local drunkards union before he was kicked out. Later, he was appointed head of the National Population Commision and his innate blunders made them kick him out again.

Why are they giving out our jobs to foreigners?

I doubt you're interested in doing this, but if you research the owners/shareholders of 'Nigerian' Breweries you'll find that they're not Nigerians, but Europeans who have operated under the auspices of being 'Nigerian' to give the impression of being a domestic company, and by extension be patronised by the Nigerian mass market.

When you take this into account, it becomes clearer why Nigerians will be less likely to occupy such senior managerial positions. They're often considered inferior vis-à-vis European candidates.

I can produce a long list of 'Nigerian' companies that are foreign-owned

A very big congrate to u Mr. Johan Antonie Doyer

You will never be competent

Look at how bitter the truth is?

That's the question that came to my mind,why not a Nigerian?

Thanks for the clarification.

Congratulations

Since the Cadbury scandal involving the Nigerian ceo, Mr ***** ***. Top jobs in most multinational coys in this country are reserved for expatriates.

Pidgin2:
And every single qualified Nigerian will run these companies down? As all companies led by Nigerians have been run down before based on your logic

The logic doesn't work as there are capable Nigerians that can manage it. Banks earn more profit than Breweries and they are managed by Nigerians.

But if we really speak against giving job to foreigners, then we should respect America and other develop countries that give lots of job to foreigners and top management positions. There is a university in Missouri that just made a Nigerian the president in the midst of white communities. Sometimes, I think blacks are more racist

I suggested they name it Oyinbo breweries. Nigeria will grow by the year 2040

I didn't see the US giving out top jobs in multinational companies to foreigners after the Haliburton scandal

That was Festus Odimegwu, I was at the AGM in 2006 when shareholders forced him to resign.
The best Nigerian MD/CEO of Nigeria Brewery is Felix Ohiweri

Homers123:
That's the question that came to my mind,why not a Nigerian?

Exactly. And Nigerians are busy giving out excuses instead of asking questions.

Hmmn.
This is quite revealing. So you mean we are basically living a lie with respect to our so called indigenous markets? Kindly go ahead with the bolded part please.

Festus Odimegwu ran NB Plc competently.Where he erred was in getting involved in partisan politics while still MD.

DaV8King:
Because the last Nigerian that ran NBPlc did such a "good job" that profits declined

So much that Heineken N.V(Majority shareholders)have more or less officially banned Nigerians from MD and CFO role

Also, both past and incoming MD are Heineken NV staff simply on transfer within the global business.

On a personal note he could "afford" to run for Governor in his state after NBPlc

It is simply not fair (business wise) on Nigeria & Nigerians. This is one of the reasons Donald Trump is crying out that the Chinese are taking over their jobs, and it is not even half as bad over there as it is here.

hrworld:
Because you guys are not competent.

I beg to disagree.

hucienda:
Heineken.

UEFA Champions League Sponsor

Na u n me de sponsor champions league indirectly with our high consumption of alcohol...
Those of us that do not drink beer pay at viewing centre...

So Heineken not the one sponsoring champe, but u n i

But the answers I'm reading here shows that our leaders in that sector 'no try'.

mmsen:
You didn't know that 'Nigerian' Breweries is 37% owned by Heineken? The Nigerians involved just collect their dividends.

Just knowing that today, but that doesn't justify the monopolization of the top management positions by Europeans against the interest of Nigerians.

They are the largest single shareholders and they're the ones with the technical expertise.

Besides, their primary function is to make money.

I don't think we should attack them but rather question Nigerians who refuse to put their money/intelligence to good use to build viable competition.

[b][/b]So that the indigenes will not run it down the way they ran down Nigerian Airways and other sun indigenous companies.

I have never known Nigerian Breweries to be without a foreign head

There are many Nigerian brands that are being run efficiently, like Globacom, Dangote, Channels TV, PUNCH, etc

thesicilian:

Heineken and her proxies own 65% of the company. That is why the MD, Marketing Director, Finance Director, Production Director and top management are Dutch.

The Dutch increased their holdings from about 50% in 2006 to 70% in 2016

While Nigerian shareholders were selling their shares the foreigners were busy increasing their holdings

You have a very good point there.

I dont think more than 5 exist

Investors are not sentimental, they are concerned about ROi. If a Nigerian will give them the required return fine and if it is a foreigner say be it.

Their is a Nigerian top management staff of Dangote Industries named Olakunle Alake, the guy is on the board of all Dangote companies, other trusted members are foreigners and close family members who are also successful business people

Nigerian brewery is owned by Heineken in Netherland

No bank in Nigeria makes profit after salary and wages more than Nigerian brewery
