yeah, I was shocked to know it's an igbo man behind the company and I even share with someone who expressed same surprise.


The point is, there are many many companies out there that we do not know who owns what. The ones we know are the ones made public.
Yea but Evans industries ltd is public..Kudos to them.

A Nigerian was said to have been butchered in South Africa. According to Barrister Idowu Awopeju who posted the sad news on his Facebook profile, Akinsanmi Bolanle Alexander was a hardworking, law abiding Nigerian based in South Africa before this unfortunate incidence.
Below is his post

I Just Lost A Brother : Akinsanmi Bolanle Alexander.

Yesterday when I learnt it was already 6 months that Prof Pius Adesanmi took a bow to the great beyond. I felt it was appropriate to unblank my FB profile picture which I had left blank to pay my own respect to him. Somehow, inexplicably, something kept holding my hand back from surfing my e- album for a befitting picture and that's how I decided to leave it blank. Again, I woke up much earlier today with the intent to go for the daily’s appointments. Somehow, inexplicably, something kept dragging my foot.
All along something was telling me that all was not well but I was too insensitive to sensitive signals of the dark cloud in the horizon. I didn't take the hint.
Just like that, bemoaning had turned to bereavement.

My brother was brutally butchered by a bunch of deranged mob in South Africa. Why? Why?
This cannot be rationalised.
This is pure insanity and wickedness of the highest order. It appears there is a global erosion and mutilation of humanity. Nowhere is safe!
I have come to terms with the inescapable reality of death and the facts that it can come at any time, but not a gruesome murder. This is too hard on me.
I was a witness to his diligence and entrepreneurial prowess in SA, for days that I spent with him on a short vacation years back, he had no time for any form of social engagements. His nuclear family and fast growing business mattered most to him.
I have just lost a wonderful brother!
An idle hand......

You people are gifted when it comes to creating wealth.

I noticed something in the Igbo version of this thread, the guys who made the list didn't include one man. The man is igbo and maker of Eva soap and others. It was this year I discovered he owns the company that makes most of the items we use. There many of such not known.

My uncle, a Benin man, own one of the biggest transport companies in Lagos but has no park in Benin. He did it intentionally.

Politics › This Is How Some Fake Xenophobic Videos Were Made-France24. by Ritchiee(op): 4:25pm On Sep 10, 2019
These three pictures have nothing to do with recent xenophobic violence in South Africa
DEBUNKED / SOUTH AFRICA - 09/04/2019
Don’t be fooled by these fake videos of xenophobic attacks in South Africa

Over the last few days, xenophobic violence has flared up in and around Johannesburg and Pretoria in South Africa, leaving at least five people dead. The police have made over 180 arrests.

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

Looking into the story, the FRANCE 24 Observers team talked to a truck driver from Zimbabwe, victim of an attack in March.

We also came across several videos purporting to show recent acts of xenophobic violence in South Africa. But some of the footage circulating has nothing to do with what is going on. It is sometimes months, if not years old, and occasionally has nothing to do with South Africa at all.

A disturbing video of a man on fire – filmed months ago

One of the most striking videos to surface in the last few days shows a man in flames, supposedly a foreigner and victim of an extreme act of xenophobic violence by a group of South Africans. Just one copy of the video found on Twitter has garnered over 222,000 views (warning, graphic).


If you search for the keywords “man burnt south africa”, however, you find this article by online news outlet TimesLIVE. It explains that two men, including the one pictured, were assaulted by a mob in January this year, in Hillbrow, central Johannesburg, after trying to steal a handbag. The one pictured later died of his injuries.

These aren’t people falling from a roof in the middle of Johannesburg

Watching the following video, viewed more than 195,000 times, you could be led to believe that these are people targeted by a xenophobic arson attack, jumping from a building on fire.

Using a tool called InVid (click here to find out how), you can see that the same video was published on May 24. It depicts the fire that broke out at a commercial complex in Gujarat, India. More than 20 people died as a result.


These aren’t mass arrests to expel Nigerians from the country – it’s another old video

A video found by the NGO Africa Check shows dozens of people under arrest, on the ground, surrounded by police. The accompanying myth is that these are Nigerians, about to be deported, and that it somehow ties in with the xenophobic attacks targeting Nigerians over the last few days.

We used InVid again, which showed that the video is old. It already caused an upset when it surfaced in May 2018, and was rumoured to show a mass arrest of suspected criminals in a hotel in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg. At the time, South African police said the video was fake, and said they had no idea where it had come from.

The FRANCE 24 Observers team was not able to find the origin of this video, but the fact that it was posted more than a year ago on social media tells us it’s not linked to recent arrests.


This road was blockaded by South African truckers, but during a different strike


On Sunday, South African truck drivers began a strike in protest against the employment of foreign nationals. Videos like this one, viewed more than 25,000 times, show huge blockades:

These truckers were indeed staging a protest against foreign drivers, but this was in June 2018. You can trace the video back to this article by Independent Online.

and yorubas don't do fraud and drugs?
we all know yoruba and igbos are brothers in those though.
in my street in omo-west alone in osogbo,we have pals in south-africa and malaysia and we know what they do.
so why the fuss and hypocrisy like if igbos are the only one in southern Nigeria involve in these things.
Why don`t you use your brain for once?No matter what you will always drag Yoruba into your rants.
All tribes,people have criminals among them even Tivs, Hausa,Yoruba,Idoma etc but Igbos criminality is going over the bend.
We all try to play it down but foreigners would not have that.
Do you know that most products in Nigeria are fake now because of the main people in charge.

Yorubas are great travellers who even travel more than the Igbos but how many times have you heard that they are involved in crime compared to that of Igbos.The bane of Igbos who are into crimes is chest beating which is a trait in almost all Igbos.

A white Professor...Prof. Ellis.... even wrote a book known as West Africa Illicit Drug Trade and specifically mentioned that Igbos especially from Anambra have been champions in drug peddling even since when I was still crawling.

Nobody is a saint but when a particular people is constituting a nuisance almost all over the world,then we should begin to tell ourselves the truth.

All of us should stop spoiling and soiling our names abroad..

Imo, Enugu,Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and part of Delta Aniocha and part of Rivers in Ibo land or ( igbo biafra) according to Asari dokubo and that is where you right starts and End, if you cross to Calabar or Ijaw land, you become a dead meat I truth my Calabar people you must have seen or heard of news where there is communities clashes and the strong men from Calabar cut off and make Ibo heads to roll grin. Let me even give you little advice that will help you come 2023, once you see that Election is around the corner, tell all your igbo people to leave Yorubaland especially Lagos because your worst nightmare who happens to be a strong Awori man MC Oluomo is now NURTW chairman and his right hand man Zagadat kokozaria is with him in the state NURTW grin grin.

Lagos is Igbo people no man´s land and Lagos is where they have been most successful more than anywhere in the world.

You will have to remove all your Obas and take them to Ibadan or Oshogbo so that they can install their Ezes in their ...no man´s land unless you want them to destroy you Yorubas from Ogbomosho like they destroyed the Ijaws when Ijaw took them as slaves and destroyed Igala when they came to Anambra.
Igbo warriors just landed in Lagos also known as Igbos ..no man´s land.

Only problem is not all Yoruba are business minded, so they end up handing the shops back again to the Igbos. grin
You are right.Not all Yorubas are ´trader´-minded but we are evenly spread in all professions unlike Igbos who are mainly traders.

Being mostly traders cannot make you as rich,successful and developed as the Yorubas.
I have seen one of you posting from as blog that Igbos are the most successful in Nigeria.
lol
Only Alakija will buy up all Igbo billionaires grin

For example,I am not from Ibadan but I have been there severally especially the old part of Beere until I decided to tour this city.
I can assure you that after Abuja and Lagos,there is no city as developed as Ibadan....maybe PH and Kano may come close to it.
This Ibadan is mainly run and developed by Yorubas.Most and I say most of the trades and businesses are run by Yorubas.
Spare parts,motor parts,computer things,very heavy machines,clothing materials etc are handled by mainlyYorubas.
You can only find Igbos at Ekotedo,Iwo road,Gate etc.Yorubas control the market even more than Igbos do in Lagos.
When you say you are more successful than Yorubas,it is good to say it amongst yourselves but putting it online and disturbing everybody with this petty claim, makes one wants to reply.

I always say it that Yoruba have more succesful people than you,travel than you,have industries and businesses than you at home and abroad etc.These are verifiable facts not imagination that you always indulge in.

Asians are mainly traders you see all over UK but are they richer than Britons or Americans who are not traders.?

To top it,even with its old part,only Ibadan city is more developed than Igboland.....fact.

Some Igbos are delusional.In Lagos only where Igbos have made it more than anywhere in the world,tell him to compare what they have achieved and owned against what Yorubas have achieved and owned.

Both in Nigeria and abroad,there are proofs and evidences that Igbos do not near the success of Yorubas.

i doubt sir even if obj tried it he would have been attacked or even killed the British work hand in hand with the fulanis its a game plan. Same thing dat happened to mohammed lawal who also wanted a yoruba king in kwara. There is an imam who has been clamouring for such up for a while we have not heard from him!
It is now 195 years that Ilorin which was founded by the progenitors of Afonja thousand of years ago,has had emir as the traditional rulers.
The Imam still exists and so are many others who are Ilorin muslims but detest how FG continues to fuel this Fulani thing in Ilorin.The British does not have anything to do with Emirship again especially the fake one in Ilorin...they call it...copycat emir...
The only thing retaining the Emir in Ilorin is the FG.The Yorubas have used both force and diplomacy....going to court,up to supreme court....but FG still sits on the white paper till date.
Knowig Yoruba,Afonja descendants who are the original indigines and owners of Ilorin,will take their rightful inheritance.
