Another bit of interesting news. A young Nigerian Ajayi Oluwatobi has launched his vehicle assembly line known as NORD MOTORS a.k.a Nordmotion. In his service year, Tobi was posted by the NYSC to Mercedes Benz Nigeria. He went ahead to later become the Head of Vans at MBN. He left and opened his own company, NORD. Petrol and diesel versions of his trucks, are now available. 5 Likes

B2mario: How exactly does the government favours Yorubas?? Every one knows the igbos are parasites. Try comparing what the entire south east contributes to the revenue and compare it with the allocations given to y'all by the government. Maybe, you'd be enlightened. You asked for Yoruba companies, they give it to you back to back. After clearly seeing the acheivements of the great Yorubas, all you can come up with is that they are on federal government aid?? Really?? You're truly a clown. 16 Likes |

Another young Nigerian has been making waves in the water transportation sector. Olusegun Jaji saw the potentials in the marine sector, and decided to solve a major logistic challenge on the waterways. Today, he has built a water taxi business employing over 200 people, in Sierra Leone and Lagos. In his own words: " I wanted make a change, and to brace the development of water transport, not just in Sierra Leone but in the whole of West Africa." His water transport service is known as Sea Coach Express Ferry Services, was started in 2015 with 10 boats, but it currently has over 30 brand new boats, in its fleet. Currently, he is carrying out the acquisition of three brand new ferries with his team. Two of them, would act as a backup vessel, to a bigger one that would be going to Guinea, starting our coastal ferry service. Freetown to Conakry in Guinea. They are expanding into the coastal market, with a 200-passenger ferry, brand new vessel built an Australian company, that will be delivered in October 2020. In Epe, on the outskirts of Lagos, Jaji has a factory where he builds boats, known as Sierra Craft Industries. His firm recently built and supplied ferries to the Lagos State Ferry Services (LAGFERRY) a few months ago. 10 Likes

Santsal: Have you ever heard of what's called the Jewish Holocaust?? I doubt it. The Jews were almost wiped out from the surface of the earth by Adolf Hitler. This man succeeded in terminating millions of Jews for nothing. The Jews did nothing wrong to deserve that, yet it happened. After everything, the Jews still came out as the richest and well-acheived race/ethnicity in the world. But, you'd never see any jew whether in Germany or the US saying bullshits like, "we're the richest race in the world", "we developed new York , Berlin etc". The Jews have tons of Nobel prizes to their name and yet these people never brag. The igbos keep lamenting about a self inflicted civil war till today. Any small acheivement they make, nobody will rest. They come to other people's land, open shop and start trading then tag themselves as entrepreneurs and begin to undermine the efforts of their hosts insultingly by making false claims on how they're the developers and their hosts are bunch of lazy idiots. The one wey funny pass be how dem dey do attache by force with the real Jews claiming they are the lost tribe of israel ... PS: The Yorubas were also victims of war too but you probably don't know that because they don't hang on to events of the past not take it as an excuse for their failure like y'all do. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Before coming to Nigeria in 2015 to start business, Olusegun Jaji had started Sea Coach in July 2009 in Freetown, within Sierra Leone with one boat. All he had was a vision to create a "one stop" Airport transfer service (a combination of Boat and shuttle bus ride) to -and-fro from the Lungi international airport in Freetown to other parts of the city. He teamed up with like-minded investors, and launched the business. Today, it is a success story.... https://www.sbtsgroup.com/seacoach/nigeria/about-us 5 Likes

CeterisXVII: Baba, dem plenty o. I shared some parts of these thread on fb today. You're not gonna believe how many Yorubas have heard their lies so often that they now think it's the truth until they read through the posts I made. I gushed with euphoria at how a lot of Yorubas were motivated and enlightened that they are from a tribe where greatness is encoded in their DNA. The igbos have taken the humility of Yorubas to be stupidity or weakness. E don dey clear for their eyes now. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Mythbuster01: Wow! I will have to check their profiles and get back to you on this. This thread actually started as a joint effort by so many people, to highlight the contributions of Yorùbá people in the business and industrial world. Members of a certain ethnic group, had been throwing lousy taunts, sly innuendos and outright insults, at others by claiming that Yoruba people knew next to nothing about business, and could not lay claim to success in the field. A number of people saw it as an affront and proceeded to catalogue a list of successful enterprises, owned by Yorùbás, in order to confirm they could hold their own, anywhere within the business circle. That was what led to this mini- project on Nairaland. It was created by a wondrful omolúabí woman named kn23h . Both Yoruba indigenes and even non-Yorùbás contributed, in a spirit of camaraderie, fun and diligence. People like totit, Jetleee, wristbangle, Deomelo, okway, EvilMetahuman, Omofunaab2, ODVanguard, oodualover, MasterChen, robotix, hilroy, mercyville, Shukuokukobambi, OkutaNla, Basic123, etc. But too many forces were opposed to this initiative. Even the owner of Nairaland and its moderators kept banning many of the contributors, each time we stood our ground against the falsehood of other ethnic groups, and their efforts to derail this thread. Several contributors were vilified and got their accounts banned. The thread was moved around and buried in some nondescript sections, where many people could not even get access to it. We had to argue and plead on several occasions, to bring it back to the main section. Some excellent contributors got discouraged and left. e.g. Deomelo, Dumaknasset, and others I cant even mention. Even my good friend Laudate, who despite not being from the Southwest is an avid supporter of their efforts, got banned severally, from several days to months. Anyway, this thread lost its flavour after a while when the main people departed. I just log back in from time to time, just to check up on things in my friends absence. Nairaland could have used this thread as a way to foster pride and excellence among different tribes, with different ethnic groups cataloguing the exploits of their own people. Instead, Nairaland moderators did their best to kill it, and make sure it never served its purpose. I would love to highlight all the new companies you mentioned, but I am afraid I wouldn't be able to do justice to them, without the support of the solid team, we had in here previously....... It would take me quite a while to get back on track, and put up the profiles you had earlier highlighted. 10 Likes |

Hammed Ninalowo was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. He left for the US, finished his bachelors degree in 2003, and graduated from medical school in 2010. Right now, Ninalowo is one of the fewer than five practicing interventional radiologists in Nigeria, a country of 200 million people. Hammed Ninalowo set up an organisation called IRDOC NIGERIA, with the aim of training an additional 100 interventional radiologists within Nigeria, over the next decade. He looks forward to the launch of the first interventional radiology training programme in the country, later this year. He said: "When I told my colleagues in America that I was considering performing a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS or DIPS: direct intra-hepatic portosystemic shunt) on a Budd Chiari patient in Nigeria, most said I was crazy." " But I remember thinking, “If I do not do this, who will?” After extensive planning, Ninalowo and his team were able to pull the procedure off, with an amazing clinical success. Today his expertise is in great demand at Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, a high-brow topnotch medical centre, located in Victoria Island, Lagos. Since its opening in 2017, Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital has serviced over 10,094 patients, and completed 1,022 CT scans, 1,219 MRI scans, 108 cardiac procedures, 356 surgical procedures, 1,075 x-rays and 1,107 ultrasound. The world class hospital has Dr. Majekodunmi as the Medical Director. Ninalowo doesn't believe he is doing anything special. He keeps saying: "We are simply on a mission...." https://interventionalnews.com/nigeria-interventional-radiology/ 4 Likes
