“Our product is about 25 per cent cheaper than that of the Chinese, our main competition, although we consider our quality top of the range,” said Rotimi Sokeni, chairman of Baton.

The company’s smallest dispensers costs less than N100, while a pack of 250 sticks go for less than N200. With about N300, one can take the mega size of 700 sticks.

“We set out with the idea to ultimately get to a point where Nigeria could stop importation of wood, paper and pulp products by employing locally available ‘wood’ as raw materials to produce a basket of high quality, cost effective products for import substitution and export,” Mr. Sekoni said. _{http://jimidisu.com/premiumtimes-special-report-how-nigerian-companies-raked-billions-after-cbn-switched-off-dollar-tap-on-41-items/}

"The ability to create jobs in manufacturing in Nigeria. I love the process of making things, so we thought there was an opportunity to make beautiful, cost-effective products in Nigeria....with Nigerian hard work and ingenuity.

What has been the challenges so far?
Nothing material actually or unique to us. A lot of people want to hear horror stories about doing business in Nigeria, it's just business, which is rough and tumble anywhere in the world...sorry to disappoint.

What is the best thing a client ever said to you?
That every time she sees our products she can't help but smile." https://web.facebook.com/nigerianshowcase/posts/110785556264420:0?_rdc=1&_rdr

I think Deomelo's post got caught by the spambot

MasterChen:


Majority of these companies have their headquarters in Lagos. Potor contribution to Lagos is negligible. They don't control Telecommunications, oil, banking, hospitality, media, manufacturing, real estate, tech. Their major contribution to Lagos is trade. Trade isn't what makes Lagos lol.

They make noise all the time about ports, but aren't even the largest contributors to port revenues. These are the highest revenue generating items being imported

Refined petroleum- 15% ($7.83-billion)
Cars- 3.4% ($1.75-billion)
Wheat - 2.8% ($1.46-billion)
Packaged medicaments - 1.4% ($752-million)
Rice - 1.4% ($706-million)
Concentrated Milk - 1.3% ($679-million)
Raw Sugar - 1.3% ($668-million)
Malt extract- 0.84% ($441-million)

Besides, Lagos doesn't even earn a dime of her port revenues. Everything goes to the FG. See, the easiest way to deal with potor is to show them facts as we've done on this thread. Potor don't deal with facts, they like pulling out figures from their asses. It's always 75% or 80% lol . If you aren't armed with facts, it's very easy to fall for their lies. I blame the poor state of education in Yorubaland for this. They lie about everything to mask their innate inferiority complex.

I know there are some Yorubas that hype them to pacify them cos civil war. That is destructive because it gets to a point where they start believing these things and actually taking them as facts. It's upon us to put them on check. The Yorubas who engage in that bullshit should also be called out

This thread is SEXY!

Amo Byng popularly known as Amo Sanders was established in the late 80s. It's one of the largest poultry farms and feed mills in Nigeria, bigger than any other one from the South East. Check them out

Amo Byng Nigeria Limited was established in 1987 to produce high quality Feed Concentrates, and Finished feeds. We supply our products to farmers all over the country and in West Africa. Our main objective is to operate a state-of-the-art Feed mill that will consistently provide the best quality products available in Nigeria
https://amobyng.com.ng/new/index.php/about-us/

The company Amo Byng was said to have been re-established following the bankruptcy of a French Group call Amo Sanders. By 2002, promoters of Amo Sanders, which was then owned by a French multinational, were tired of Nigeria and they decided to sell these companies. Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, had the opportunity to be there at the time and he bought what was left of it.

Group Managing Director of NatnudO Foods, who is also the National President of Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN), Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, said the scheme is an empowerment programme designed for individuals and agricultural SMEs for wealth creation through the poultry value chain. He added that the scheme is for poultry farmers, enthusiasts, cooperatives, farm owners, graduates and investors in the country.

His special interest is using new technology to manage women's health issues, to yield improved outcomes, quick recovery (and sometimes no external cuts during surgery) using techniques such as Laser and other modern technologies. Dr. Juwon Alabi's clinic strives to ensure that each patient is informed about the available treatment options, that are specific to their needs. It provides women with non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment options. As a culture, it continuously invests in advancing and improving its knowledge and skills; for the benefit of its patients.

The clinic was created to bridge a large gap in the Nigerian health sector, to provide women with the same advances procedures offered abroad (non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment options), and to substantially reduce the need to travel abroad to receive modern and affordable treatment that could easily be provided by well trained specialists that are properly equipped with modern technology and equipments here in Nigeria. _{https://thefertilechickonline.com/join-us-as-we-welcome-southshore-womens-clinic/}
