Awolowo001:
Jealousy, na you import am??

like I said, the joke is on you guys...

Still in Onitsha.

GuyfawkesAB:
For most of the manufacturing you post and claim here, there are companies in the Southwest, owned by Yorubas who do same and more.

You only keep boring us with pictures of assembled in Innoson vehicles (same vehicles under the insignia of Katanka Motors in Ghana), Cheap, substandard and Imported products that are coupled and finished in your factories.
The only place we know that there is serious manufacturing going on is Aba.
Besides Yorubas are not known to make noise and you will hardly know if they had started making billions. But your people, every rich man is a billionaire including those that can only lay claim to a few ten millions
Stop all this masturbation.

[size=18pt]Printivo Closes On 6-figure Seed Funding From EchoVC Partners[/size]

Lagos. Thursday 15 October 2015 – Nigeria-based digital printing startup, Printivo, has closed on seed financing from early-stage technology venture capital firm, EchoVC Partners.

The six-figure investment will be used to significantly broaden the company’s product range, increase headcount, accelerate customer acquisition and scale the business. Initially servicing Nigeria’s booming SME sector, Printivo is poised to capitalise on and grow Nigeria’s $200M print market, which has until now, had no credible online presence.

From $6 in 2011, Africa’s print industry is currently estimated to grow to $9B annually by 2016, as businesses invest in design and print to keep up with African consumers’ increasing visual literacy, brand adoption, and uncompromising demand for quality. A self-styled ‘Vistaprint for Africa’, the year-old Printivo provides the only fully automated online print service for over 3,000 customers, providing local and international businesses with corporate stock collateral, such as business cards, letterheads and notepads, and has seen y-o-y growth of 200% since its launch in 2014.

Prior to Printivo, there has been little to no innovation in the print industry in Africa’s largest economy. Market-wide challenges for Africa’s print industry have historically included the high cost of printing, lack of graphic designers, poor customer service and time-intensive ordering practices, making top quality printing all but unaffordable for the super-majority of small businesses. With founders that have spent their entire lives in the print industry, Printivo is the first to build a full service digital platform, in conjunction with a visual creative & design community, to service the small business sector, offering free online templates, design support, a custom upload service, e-commerce, nationwide delivery and high quality customer service turnaround. Printivo is also rapidly growing its consumer
base, with a focus in particular on Nigeria’s multi-million dollar wedding industry.

Olu’yomi Ojo, Printivo Co-Founder and CEO says, “Securing institutional seed financing means we can accelerate the growth of our online print services & community platform and achieve the ambitious targets we have set for ourselves, as we transform an industry that has, until now, lacked digital infrastructure, investment and innovation. We can now transition print from bricks & mortar ‘mom-and-pop’ stores that struggle to scale and meet quality requirements, to online ordering and direct delivery, while enabling job creation and distribution. We are in the process of removing the friction for companies that want access to great design, transparent pricing, high quality products and fast turnaround on orders. Simple, yes, but something local printers have historically been unable to provide.”

“In EchoVC, we have found an investor and partner who has a complete understanding in growing and scaling eCommerce businesses and who sees the enormous growth opportunity Africa’s print industry presents.”

With revenues rapidly growing at 50% quarter-over-quarter, Printivo has secured contracts with leading global brands operating in Nigeria, including Google, Uber, Samsung, DHL and Etisalat. After one year of operation, they have serviced over 3,000 customers and currently on track to fulfilling 1,000 orders per month. The company is now clearly positioned to be the primary print outsourcing partner to the 17 million active Nigerian SMEs in Africa’s largest economy, with a goal to be the Pan-African e-print platform of choice.

Wale Ayeni, Investment Director at EchoVC Pan-Africa Fund adds: “The lightning speed at which Printivo has changed Nigerian SMEs’ print purchasing habits and built a customer base that runs into the thousands is impressive, and was a key driver in our decision to invest. EchoVC sees print in Africa as one of the continent’s ‘iceberg micro-economies’, a below-radar but very large and viable industry with enormous scope for growth. The team’s homegrown expertise and innate understanding of the market, their commitment to great design and innovation in print, their ability to grow long lasting customer relationships and their focus on customer service equates to them being best placed to lead the digital printing revolution on the continent. The founders’ focus on building a community of co-dependent participants in the print economy has also kick-started significant
job creation possibilities.”

[size=18pt]Kunle Adeyemi (founder of NLE Architects) Designs a Solar-Powered Floating School for the Flood-Prone Coastline of Nigeria[/size]


For the community of Makoko of Lagos, Nigeria life on the water is nothing new. Prone to flooding, residents have dealt with encroaching waters for generations by building houses on stilts and using canoes as their main source of transport. Now, with the threat of sea level rise from climate change, and developers who want to tear the community down, Makoko is in a state of uncertainty. Nigerian-born architect Kunle Adeyemi has a vision for the city of 250,000 people that involves constructing a group of floating structures that have better access to sanitation, fresh water, and waste disposal. His first endeavor would be to build a three-story school held afloat by plastic drums.

After a trip to Makoko in 2009, Adeyemi was inspired to improve upon the main primary school that served the waterside settlement. His design, which will accommodate 100 students, will use 256 plastic drums to keep it resting on top of the water, and the frame will be constructed with locally-sourced wood. Electricity would be provided by solar panels on the roof, and rainwater harvesting would help operate toilets. The school is nearly finished, and the entire cost should total around $6,250.

Projects like Adeyemi’s could be the beginning of a trend followed throughout coastal Africa. “The building can be adapted for other uses, such as homes or hospitals. Ultimately, it’s a vision that can be used to sustainably develop [African] coastal communities.” said Adeyemi. While the government is reluctant to permanently establish the dozens of settlements in the city’s waters, tentative backing has been given by local officials. In recent years, nearby cities in Lagos have been reclaiming the water using land pumped from the ocean floor. Adeyemi’s strategy would work with the propensity for storms and rising tides to flood the area instead of fighting against them, setting a possible example for future developments in the country.

T.T DALK is a Nigerian-based fashion brand that is redefining the African footwear industry. It makes simple, trendy and elegant footwear for both men and women that appeal to a wide range of consumer tastes.

Temilade Osinfade is the founder and Creative Director at T.T Dalk. During his days at the university, he would draw out footwear designs on paper for local shoe craftsmen to make for him. His shoes and slippers caught the attention of other students and that’s how the T.T Dalk footwear business was born.

T.T Dalk is revolutionizing the local footwear business in Nigeria and has been featured on several international fashion shows and runways. He primarily sells his shoes on online stores and a few boutique retail outlets in Nigeria’s major cities.

In a recent press interview, he gave the following advice: “… you need to have passion for the business, it takes a lot of consis­tency and perseverance. Define your brand, and define your target market. You will not find many people who are knowledgeable about the business, so you need to educate yourself and do most of the work at the early stages. You must be very creative, and most especially you need to take risks. Get out of your comfort zone and explore the outside world!”

T.T Dalk is definitely a promising brand to watch in Africa’s fast evolving footwear landscape.

Haus of Hercules (HOH) is another footwear and accessories brand based in Lagos, Nigeria. It specializes in simple yet stylish and exquisite handmade shoes.

The HOH collection includes loafers, oxfords, brogues, toms and moccasins made from luxurious fabrics such as velvet and soft suede and traditional fabrics like denim, tweed and batik-patterned fabrics.

The brain behind Haus of Hercules is Christopher Jeje, a young Nigerian designer and entrepreneur. He started this impressive footwear business in 2010 with just over $30 in startup capital. Since then, HOH has showcased on fashion runways in Lagos, Accra and London. http://www.smallstarter.com/get-inspired/10-top-successful-made-in-africa-footwear-brands-making-africa-proud/

Meet Nigeria's Tablet Computer Pioneer ... FORBES
Saheed Adepoju, 28, is co-founder and chief visionary of the Encipher Group, a Nigerian-based technology company that has produced the country’s first tablet computer, ‘Inye’. The word Inye is derived from Nigeria’s Igala language and means ‘Number 1’. Earlier today the Bournemouth University Advanced Computing graduate briefly let me in on his start-up story and spoke about his ambitions for his company.

What inspired your passion for personal computers?

My love affair started back when I was a mere 13 year-old in high school. I was fascinated by computer games. During my school days I met Anibe Agamah, who would later on become my co-founder at Encipher. We shared floppy disk drives with various games, and after our high school leaving exams we both set out to learn computer programming. We learnt how to code in C-language and Assembl. Anibe had a more artistic inclination and his web skills picked up and mapped out a year later. He also went on to study computer science and acquired an Msc in technology management while I ventured into software engineering.

What’s the story behind Encipher Group, and what was the inspiration for the INYE tablet computer?

Encipher was set up originally in the UK as a company which combined both strengths of the founders: Web application development and software development. This was back in June 2008. We actually set up shop when we got our first web application development job. As time went on, we decided to expand into new territories, hence our decision to branch out to making personal computers. The real inspiration for Encipher INYE is the Apple iPad. With the nature of the operating system the iPad had and its portability, we felt we had an entry point within the Nigerian market with a tablet. I had been having a look at the Android OS [operating system] since its launch in 2008 and I felt that a tablet PC running on Android OS with its open nature provided us an opportunity to get Nigerian developers building applications for it and also provided an alternative product for indigenous consumers.

Tell us about your flagship product-the Inye Tablet Computer.

The Inye tablet comes in 2 specs: INYE-1 was unveiled April 2010 and is a 7-inch resistive screen tablet. It runs android 2.1 and allows a user to connect to the internet using its inbuilt WIFI card and allows a user to also use an external 3G modem from GSM networks. It offers about 3hrs of battery life and allows HDMI output to HDMI capable devices (e.g. TV). It also allows a user to plug USB devices such as external flash drives and keyboards.

INYE-2, which was unveiled in May 2011, is an 8-inch capacitive screen tablet. It runs Android 2.2 and allows a user to connect to the internet using its inbuilt Wi-Fi card as well as using inbuilt SIM [card]. It offers about 8 hours of battery life. It also offers connection to other USB devices such as external flash drives, keyboard and mouse.

What’s your comparative advantage? Are there any special features Encipher tablets have that the iPad, Playbook or other tablets do not possess?

The comparative advantage to the iPad and Playbook is the nature of [operating system] our devices run. The Android OS is seen to be the fastest growing platform currently within the mobile space. The open nature of the OS allows third party developers to build relevant applications for vertical markets which are still relatively untapped at the moment.

How much do your tablets cost, and how many tablets have you sold so far?

Carry your tribalism to Linda ikeji and bella naija

You keep posting the same pictures over and over again on every page of this thread. You have posted these pictures like 3 times now. Na wa for you, o! By the way have you heard of Chief Samuel Adedoyin of Doyin Group? His company is based in Lagos, and they produce products ranging from laundry soaps to paints and OTC medications.

Fineman87:
In truth, all this rubbish posted here is NOT an appropriate response to what the igbos posted. Naming CEO's, taxi owners, ose gidi, alabukun powder, airport owners, insurance firm owners bla bla bla DO NOT equate to 'what Yaribas have produced'.They dont! None of them is a product worthy of mention neither can they match the indigenous products of the igbos. Not one of the useless names is an indigenous brainy industrial establishment. These One-off products scattered all over foreign land is Not a match for the industrous achievements of the igbos in Enugu.

Fineman87:
Senseless post like a typical afonja. The igbos listed homemade industrial establishments in Enugu. Inferior yorubas start listing names of everybody. Smh.
