Established in 1939, Lisabi Mills Nigeria Limited, is the oldest indigenous food-processing company in Nigeria. The company’s longevity and reputation are a major accomplishment, in a context where few food-processing companies survive beyond
a few years.

It was also one of the first companies to introduce fortified products, beginning in 1984. The company’s reputation and success have been built through pursuing a model based on premium-quality products and strong brand reputation. Lisabi Mills’ key strength is its reputation and loyalty across generations of consumers.

It has been successful in achieving acceptability for its products among its core consumer groups. The company achieves this by focusing on traditional foods, to which it adds value through fortification and convenience. To support its reputation for supplying quality food, the company has developed rigorous quality-assurance procedures and has invested in a testing laboratory and other technology, in order to ensure that its products meet national and international standards.

While many mid-size companies in Nigeria misrepresent the ingredients and quantities in their products, Lisabi Mills is committed to high standards of integrity. Its products have received quality certification and awards from industry associations .

Based in Lagos, Lisabi Mills produces a wide range of traditional and convenience foods marketed across southern and central Nigeria. It is a mid-sized company which operates in relatively niche markets. It holds substantial market share, in several of the product categories in which it operates. In these markets, the company competes against both multinational corporations, large Nigerian corporations and other mid-size companies.

For companies to provide nutrient-rich and affordable foods, they need reliable sources of good-quality inputs at low cost. However, Lisabi Mills’ strategy is to source domestically whenever it can. For several of its products, Lisabi Mills sources domestically - these include cowpea (bean flour) and yam tubers, which are provided by aggregators or middlemen. Such supplies encounter the familiar problems of variations in quality and price fluctuations, in particular for cowpea.

In 2008, it won the following awards:
● Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme award (for Gold’s Custard), from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria
● National Quality Management Award, from the Quality Management Development Institute
● Blue-Ribbon Complementary Food Award from the Country Association Network2 and UNICEF

Nike is the Managing Director/CEO of Nike Center for Art and Culture, Osogbo where trainings are offered free of charge to all Nigerians in various forms of arts. The center was established in 1983, by Nike solely from her earnings as an artist and without governmental assistance. Nike opened this center with 20 young girls who were marching the streets in Osogbo aimlessly and who had no hopes for the future. In their tender age, Nike withdrew these girls from the streets and provided them with free food, free materials and free accommodation at her residence at Osogbo and taught them how to use their hands to earn decent livings through the art. So far, over 3000 young Nigerians have been trained in the center and who are now earning their decent livings through art. Many African countries now send their students to study textile art at the center.

The Nike Center for Art and Culture, Osogbo now admits undergraduate students from many universities in Nigeria for their industrial training programs in textile design. Over the years, this center also now admits students from all over Europe, Canada and the United States of America. International scholars and other researchers in traditional African art and culture also visit the center from time to time for their research works into Yoruba "Adire" fabric processing and African traditional dyeing methods.

Nike is also the Owner/Curator of the Nike Art Galleries at Lagos, Osogbo, Ogidi-Ijumu and Abuja. In 1996, Nike established a textile (Aso-Oke) weaving center at Ogidi-Ijumu near Kabba in Kogi State for the women of the village, employing and empowering more than 200 women in the weaving center. In June 2002, Nike established an Art and Culture research center at Piwoyi village, FCT Abuja with an art gallery and a textile museum, the first of its kind in Nigeria which will provide functional platform for research into Nigerian traditional textile industry in the Federal Capital Territory area of Abuja. In furtherance of these noble endeavors, Nike is currently the managing director and founder of the following organizations in Nigeria; "Nike Art Productions Limited" which she incorporated in 1994, "Nike Art Gallery Limited" which she incorporated in 2007 and the "Nike Research Centre for Art and Culture Limited" which she incorporated in 2007. Also in 2007, Nike founded the "Nike Art and Culture Foundation" with some notable eminent Nigerians as trustees, with the main aims and objectives of fostering Nigerian cultural heritage

Yorubas are the movers and shakers of Nollywood

[font size="12pt"]Amazing! Nigerian Movies Gross over N1 billion in 2016[/font]

Here’s how 2016’s Top 10 Chart looks like for Nigeria – Please note that not all the figures are verified rather we have used Filmhouse Cinema’s weighted average market share to come up with box office estimates for films not released by FilmOne.

The Wedding Party – FilmOne Nollywood – Over N500 million - Yoruba Producer
A Trip to Jamaica – FilmOne Nollywood – N178.5 million - Yoruba Producer
Batman Vs Superman – Warner/Crimson – N140 million (Estimated)
Captain America – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N119 million (Estimated)
Suicide Squad – Warner/Crimson – N116 million (Estimated)
London Has Fallen – Independent/Okhma – N90 million (Estimated)
Doctor Strange – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N85 million (Estimated)
Gods of Eqypt – Independent/Okhma – N80 million (Estimated)
Mechanic Ressurection – Independent/Okhma – N75 million (Estimated)
76 – Silverbird Nollywood – N72 million (Estimated)


From AY Makun‘s “30 Days in Atlanta”, Ebonylife‘s “Fifty”, Omoni Oboli‘s “Wives on Strike” to Kunle Afolayan‘s “The CEO”, and now “A Trip to Jamaica”, “The Wedding Party”, “93 Days”, “76” and many more, it is clear that the Nigerian movie industry has the potential to rake in billions of dollars in revenue.

The Wedding Party, Nigeria’s latest blockbuster movie, has broken box-office records at every milestone since it was released nationwide on December 16 2016. It took just two weeks to eclipse the record of N178 million, held by ‘A Trip to Jamaica’, emerging with a staggering N200 million before the New Year weekend was over. Both films led a strong lineup of popular Nigerian films in 2016, including ‘Wives on Strike’, ‘The CEO’, ‘93 Days’ and ‘76’.

The Wedding Party debuted with the biggest opening weekend in Nollywood history with N36 million; the best-ever opening week with N66 million; the biggest week ever with N110 million; and a jaw-dropping Christmas box-office total of N146 million.

But why must you people wait on Nigeria to help you turn your region to Dubai? Yorubas were able to single-handedly build the first skyscraper in sub-Saharan Africa in the early sixties amongst many other firsts, without FG support. Till today no single building in the entire SE and SS can match that Cocoa House edifice in height and elegance 50-years later. After the Lagos and Abuja CBDs, no other CBD in Nigeria can match Ibadan's up till today (as attached below). Why can't you people demonstrate flashes of greatness like we Yorubas without depending on the FG?? Common 2nd Niger Bridge your people can't even come together and build it without FG. Smh.
