Ogunde’s technique was to sketch out the basic situation and plot, and then write down and rehearse only the songs of his plays. The dialogue was improvised, thus allowing the actors to adjust to their audience. The plays produced by his company usually reflected the prevailing political climate and interpreted for audiences the major issues and the aspirations of those in power.

His company performed with equal ease in remote villages and in metropolitan centres of Nigeria (as well as throughout West Africa). Many of Ogunde’s later folk operas were basically popular musicals featuring jazzy rhythms, fashionable dance routines, and contemporary satire. Through this format, he set an example for a successful commercial theatre and prepared audiences all over Nigeria for his followers. During the 1960s and ’70s his plays became an important part of the urban pop culture of West Africa. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hubert-Ogunde

"We have been able to create a niche for ourselves, and we have been able to create our own unique pieces. Our pieces are different from other designers’ pieces. Customer relation is also key to us. We have a very good relationship with our customers so they keep coming back. Our designs are unique. I actually like to work with patterns; especially floral patterns and designs because they are versatile and you can get so many designs from them and do many things with them. I like to make pieces that are versatile that you can wear in many ways; it is one outfit that can be worn in different ways. "

Why made in Nigeria goods are more expensive
"If you want good quality, you have to pay good money. This is because, labour is very expensive, a good Nigerian tailor does not come cheap, for instance we have a designer who charges one million naira for bridal wear. When such a designer employs tailor, she pays them good money." https://www.nigerianews360.com/if-you-want-good-wear-you-have-to-pay-good-money-aribisala-ceo-versatile-bay/

Has anyone written on Niger delta exploration and production plc

Chairman: Ladi Jadesimi
Managing Director: Dr Layi Fatona

hilroy:
I want to use this opportunity to encourage other tribes (excluding chestbeating Osus of course) to create a thread like this. During my course of researching for this thread, I have found Nigerians from different tribes doing spectacularly well. Minor tribes can combine based on their geographical location. I am willing to contribute to such thread with relevant posts.

Niger Delta Exploration & Production Plc (NDEP) is Nigeria’s first integrated oil and gas investment company.

Using a skilled team and efficient operations, we pioneered the development of small and medium-sized oil and gas fields in Nigeria and have moved on to bigger projects.

The share ownership of our publicly-owned company continues to grow as we look for new ways to expand and serve Nigerian markets and communities.

NDEP was incorporated on March 25, 1992 (as the Midas Drilling Fund) and assumed its current name in November 1996. The vision of the company’s founding fathers was to create a vehicle that would afford ordinary Nigerians the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the country’s oil and gas industry. Although not yet listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, NDEP’s shareholders number in excess of 700, and come from every geo-political zone in the country

FlyoruB:


I agree with you on this point. There are many silent achievers from other supposedly minority tribes who are also doing big things out there. Even the Hausa-Fulanis sef have theirs.
