FINAL EXIT OF P&G: A Vision, My Experience

I finished my Youth Service in Feb. 2005. I was given a letter of recommendation from where I served in Jos (Vitafoam Nig. Plc). I was scheduled for an interview at their Head Office in Oba Akran, Lagos. I was to resume in their Kano Branch as Maintenance Engineer but religious crisis happened around that time. They had to shut down the Site to forestall collateral damages. Hence, I had to officially be flung to the ocean of "labour market". My first bite of "Nigeria Happened to You".

Fast forward to 2007. I had switched to full computer engineering. I cloned Computer systems for people and repaired same in the popular Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos. I just dey hustle anyhow to make ends meet. I always trekked from Opebi, where I was staying with the Owolabi's (May God bless that family for me) to Egbon Ojo's Office in Computer Village where I normally perch with my flash drive tied to my neck as symbol of a computer guy. It's in this state Sister Opeyemi Ajayi sent me a link to text my details to in Ibadan. I did and from that text message, my journey of 11years commenced.

I sincerely didn't know how big P&G was. I already passed UAC Management Trainee Test, scheduled for their Medical when P&G interviews were going on. A classmate I met at UAC in Lagos complained about their work culture, which was not too palatable. I shared my predicament with Pastor Kehinde Owolabi who told me how big the Company was in UK where he stayed for years. How Nigerians even lobbied and prayed to be their adhoc staff. This made me settle for P&G as my First Career Love. I resumed Sept. 13, 2007.

P&G would first host you for a month in Kakanfo Hotel in Ibadan if you didn't have anyone to stay with in Ibadan. All bills on them. The Company had bus that conveyed you to and fro the designated Bus Stop. You're trained about the culture of the Company for One Month. Free healthcare in the best hospitals in Ibadan and Lagos. Quality food at the canteen. My first salary was huge then because of all the prorated allowances. For the first time, I was treated with dignity. Naturally, the company gave me a sense of ownership till tomorrow.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo might have his negatives but Ebora Owu knows Economics. He blocked border against products being manufactured in Nigeria. Businesses were booming. We work round the clock to meet up with orders from distributors. We only shut down on 24th December and startup night of 25th. Same thing for New Year Anniversary. We shut down on the 31st, start up 1st January Night. Full operation by 2nd. We couldn't cope with the demands. P&G had to be forced to invest more in Nigeria.

I first travelled out of Nigeria courtesy of my First Love, P&G. I, with four others were sent on an automation training with Rockwell Automation in UK. Our Nigerian coursemates for that One Month were people from Total, Mobil, etc. No manufacturing company dared such investment but the almighty P&G. You're escorted even to Visa Office by Mobile Police entourage. You're taken to and fro the airport with same entourage. Because they see you as asset that nothing should happen to. Imagine giving "ordinary technician" such honour. That's my P&G for you.

"AGBARA, THE FUTURE."

Because of the market demands, P&G decided to expand their investments in Nigeria. Paper section of the company was relocated to Agbara. Over $300Million was invested there with state of the art facility built by Julius Berger Nig. Ltd. We had Gym facilities. We had massagers. We had table tennis. We had football pitch. We generated our own power with a massive Gas Generator. Your badge is the access to doors, offices, canteen, gym, everywhere. These were the stuffs you only saw in American movies like 24.

P&G prioritizes trainings. Some of my guys like Betiku Olubunmi Jude , Gbadamosi Adekunle , etc were on training for the new production lines in Cairo for a complete calendar year. If you're married, you could go with your family, even some that gave birth there like Samson Oloyede Johnson went with Malle that did omogwuo in Cairo. My friend even named his child after the Cairo Doctor that meant a lot to their family. That's how important you are to that Company. They value you. How would you not love such company? The Femcare guys like Stanley Emite , Aderanti Yomi , Adewale Ajibade ,etc, went to Germany for theirs. That's how big P&G was.

"Agbara, the Future" became the slogan. That was the plan before Nigeria happened to my beloved P&G. The startups for the new lines started getting extended due to our Nigerianness. Custom's policy summersaults started affecting the logistics. Border flung opened. Cheaper products littered the market courtesy of another Govt policies. 3 brand new babycare lines were brought for initial installations but only 2 could be installed. Cheaper products had taken over the market before we produced our first diaper. The "future" was punctured from the world "go".

We would produce but no one to buy. Sometimes you wanted to produce, Shell might tell you, they couldn't supply gas to power you generator. You had to switch to expensive diesel to power the other diesel generators to produce to meet up with the little demands. To transport the finished products became a challenge too. The roads were horrible. Containers doing gymnastics by summersaulting anyhow on those gully-holes (because those were not potholes). I even learnt the companies around the axis like GSK, UNILEVER, P&G, to mention but few approached the State Govt and proposed to fix the road with a possible tax waivers to no avail. They told them to bring the money while their works ministry help them fix it. The companies backed out because of the integrity of the govt. Hence, the road became unpassable over time.

I will be hypocritical if I failed to mention few of the damages done inhouse. Before we even left Ibadan, stories of how pallets of products were disappearing in Alomaja wearhouse became regular news. To the point that a whole truckload of products was rumoured missing... T'ori Olorun! Guys became overnight millionaires at the expense of the company. Contracts were inflated anyhow. One that I was particularly privy of: Our chiller had issues. I and Oluwatomisin Adeoluwa Adetola narrowed it down to a defective Compressor. We sourced for a supplier online that promised to bring it the next morning. Price was #600k with installations. We presented it to the TSG Manager then. He claimed it won't fly since the guy was not on the list of suppliers. Lo and behold, the guy given it to presented #2.4m. He couldn't even fix the electrical connections, I was the one compelled to fix it for him. How that made sense to anyone I don't know.

Agbara ceased to be the future courtesy of both external and internal self-destructive birthed out of greed and untamed avarice. The investors borrowed us $300m at the exchange rate of less than #200/$. In Buhari's first 6months, it had jumped to #500. He fell ill and Prof. Osinbajo was able to stabilize it at #350/$. P&G had no alternative than to do all it could to stay afloat business-wise. Gradual retrenchment was introduced. Flow-to-work became the mantra. Before the next OGSM in 2018, it was decided Agbara plant should shut down! Hundreds of professionals retrenched. I remember the words of Akinola Jibola while we were powering down Babycare Line 1: "We are shutting down what should put foods on the tables of the generations to come." It daily rings in my ears.

I hoped against hope P&G would come back but it won't. I first heard about it from a top echelon before it became 'kariile' news. You prayed such news shouldn't be true. No one finds it easy to share the demise of his loved ones. Adieu my 1st Career Love. You actually "Improved and touched our lives". You meant well but we honestly don't deserve you. We messed you up. If you're only being abused by outsiders, you could have stayed but abuse by your loved ones was the last straw that broke the camel's back. All your "offsprings" like Ariel, Pampers, Always, Duracell, Oral B, etc would always have my endorsement anyday, anytime. Love you P&G.

Fubara na mugu
He should raise over 1 million state actors and arm them to the tooth and all these law makers will relocate from River state
Even Wike cannot dare come to the state until 8yrs after
He should never rely on the army or police
He only needs 2 lawmakers to achieve his goals
Infact the house of Assembly can remain locked till he finishes his tenure..

Roboto11:
Obi that has decamped 3 times is nor a politician.



You can't make this shi.t up.

You simply follow hearsay
All the time Obi decamped he was begged and under pressure
Obi was in APGA when president Yaradua saw his good work and begged him to join PDP but he refused because he promised Ojukwu that he would be in APGA as governor and also handover to an APGA successor..
After his tenure,Jonathan lured him to PDP..
In 2019,one of the condition OBJ gave to support Atiku was that he must make Obi his running mate..
In 2023,Obi decamped to LP because he saw that they're not going to be free and fare

Only PO is clean in Nigeria partly because he's not a politician

The question is 'if El Rufai is the FCT minister and he's doing what Wike is doing' will there be protest?
Many people in SS do not know where they belong and the reason why Jonathan was removed in 2015..they thought that fighting Igbos is their problem
Odili, Amechi and now Wike..these people have no political future aside their state

EmperorFred:
Doctors in the house, please what kind of skin reaction is this and how can I go about it, I have it on other parts too.

Scabies
It's very itchy and brings out water when you rupture it
Just get scabicide. Scrape the rashes and rub it thoroughly and thank me later

You can forge certificate but you cannot forge performance
Tinubulation

You didn't include Jim Nwobodo vs Chimaroke Nnamani
Chimaroke Nnamani is Sullivan Chime

Probz:
I can’t believe type 2 diabetics were ever believed to not potentially be insulin-dependent in the first place.

So you don't believe that two types of DM were previously classified as IDDM or type 1 and NIDDM or type 2.

seunmsg:
Your politics of ethnicity is dead on arrival. Every sensible person in ondo state are calling for the transfer of power to Aiyedatiwa. The person holding the state to ransom is the wife of the governor who want to keep milking the state because of the incapacity of her husband. By the way, the deputy governor is a full blooded Yoruba man from Ilaje area of the state.

What I posted above is exactly what an Ondo politician said on Arise TV..in his word 'you can't blame the deputy governor for being an Ijaw man,the governor should hand over to him

He was reckless with power
He degraded A Anambra state to rubbles

Probz:
I can’t believe type 2 diabetics were ever believed to not potentially be insulin-dependent in the first place.

Some type 2 are insulin dependent probably because their pancreas does not produce enough insulin so it becomes anomaly to tag type 1 insulin dependent knowing full well that some DM2 are dependent on insulin as well

You don't get it
His deputy is an Ijaw and that's why they are afraid to hand over to him
Imagine Ijaw man ruling a Yoruba state

jaephoenix:
How can it be stand-alone and still be type 2?
Is chronic pancreatitis induced diabetes a stand-alone or a subset of type 1 or 2?

DM Secondary to chronic pancreatitis can be type 1or2
If the pancreas can still produce some insulin it's type 2 but if it lost the function to produce insulin at all it is type 1

jaephoenix:
How can it be stand-alone and still be type 2?
Is chronic pancreatitis induced diabetes a stand-alone or a subset of type 1 or 2?

The original name of type1 DM is insulin dependent DM..in chronic pancreatitis in which the pancreas cannot produce insulin it becomes type 1 DM secondary to pancreatic damage
NB Any time that the pancreas cannot produce insulin it is type 1 irrespective of what happens to the pancreas or whether the person is pregnant or not
In type 2 the pancreatic function is either preserved or is minimal.
NB insulin dependent and non insulin dependent are no longer used to describe types of diabetes mellitus because some people with type 2 are now insulin dependent
Also adult onset and Juvenile DM are outdated names of type 2 and type 1 because both can occur at any time in life

Kushites:
Oh please shut up.

What is ‘science and technology’ compared to knowing what happens to you when you ‘die’?

It is a question EVERYONE should be interested in BEFORE “science and technology”.

Or you will practice science and technology inside your grave?

Ode.

When you die you will be rotten within few days and that's what will happen after death
This is why Nigeria is where it is..people ruling it don't think about economic development,science and technology but about how they're going to marry 10 virgins when they die

jaephoenix:
You simply echoed what I stated without answering my question. Lemme repeat
Is GDM a type 1 or type 2 variation? Or is it stand-alone like OP said?

It's stand alone because it happens in pregnancy
It's type2 2 because there's enough insulin in her body

jaephoenix:
You still don't understand.
Diabetes mellitus is basically relative or absolute lack of insulin, right? Good.
1. What is the pathogenesis of GDM? Is there absolute lack(Type 1) or relative lack(type 2) of insulin?
2. Many women with GDM develop frank DM after delivery

In type2 DM there's not enough insulin or there's enough but the body doesn't respond to the presence of insulin..this subtype is mainly seen in obese and overweight people..enough insulin is there but fatty cells are less sensitive to insulin
Pregnancy is diabetogenics,there's enough insulin(type2)...in clear terms, during pregnancy everything the mother eats will first reach the baby including glucose..so in pregnancy, the mother's body will ignore the presence of the insulin to use the glucose so as to make it available to her baby..unfortunately in some women even after the baby has had enough of the glucose their body keep ignoring the presence of insulin to use the available glucose thereby making glucose accumulate in their blood. When the glucose accumulate in the blood they will start passing it in their urine...diabetes has set in
NB the woman was never diabetics prior to her pregnancy
In some circumstances,after delivery the woman's body will maintain the same posture i.e will continue to ignore the the presence of insulin to utilize glucose and in some others it will resolve only to come back in their later years and also some women never experienced diabetes again in their life after delivery
In all these some family history plays some role

Nosagodsonworld:
Yes I did mine last 3 weeks, it has been validated.

Which state
I have been trying to do in Enugu

Originalsly:
They told you it's too late? Bro .... read up on foods to avoid ... don't rely on pharmaceuticals .... ask the elders.... they know the different leaves and herbs that do a better job than pills. Health section here named a few under different threads. Soda lovers .... corn flake and cereal lovers .... chill.

I was not told but I'm getting better now
I discovered that I'm diabetics when my blood sugar is 600+mg/dl and HbA1C is 12.6.
My eyes was affected
I have had 3 scans already but I'm on pills now combining it with exercise and diet
I'm just 35...that's my anger

jaephoenix:
You simply echoed what I stated without answering my question. Lemme repeat
Is GDM a type 1 or type 2 variation? Or is it stand-alone like OP said?

It's type 2 that happens during pregnancy
Insulin production by the pancreas is normal but pregnancy makes the woman's body to be less sensitive to the available insulin
In type 1 there's no insulin production by the pancreas

jaephoenix:
You still don't understand.
Diabetes mellitus is basically relative or absolute lack of insulin, right? Good.
1. What is the pathogenesis of GDM? Is there absolute lack(Type 1) or relative lack(type 2) of insulin?
2. Many women with GDM develop frank DM after delivery

Yes
In GDM there's enough insulin but the woman's body does not respond to it for utilization of glucose..
Infact pregnancy in itself is diabetogenic state with hyperinsulinaemia. Reasons being that the woman's body try not to utilize glucose so as to provide for her fetus.
Many women develop T2DM later in life as you rightly said while in some they will remain diabetic even after their pregnancy

ferhyntorlah:
Hello sir,

I want to tell you it's never too late to overcome it. What you need is adequate information on how to go about it.

Please google more on Resistant Starch foods - both natural and converted.

Natural - unripe plantain, banana, beans

Converted - cooked and cooled rice.

Normally, starch is composed of simple sugars, which gets broken down in the body and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Resistant starch can't be digested because the molecules are tightly packed, making it difficult for the digestive enzymes to act on. So they move to the large intestine and become food (prebiotic) for the good bacteria there.

Please do extensive research on this. Resistant starch has categories.

Also, incorporate healthy fats, sugar-free fruits and vegetables and proteins in your diet.

If you have a Netflix account, search for this documentary "The Magic Pill" and watch it. It will expose your mind on how foods can reverse health problems.

Please don't give up! You just need to stop doing what you are used to doing and adopt new and better dietary regimen.

As we grow older, our bodies can't handle the foods we eat while we were younger. It's natural.

Our bodies do tell us but sometimes, we fail to read the signals.

At this stage, you'll eat for function and not taste.

You'll be fine sir.

Just don't give up!

Take charge of your health!

I will be fine
My HbA1c was 12.6% and my blood sugar was 33+ mmol/l.
It has started affecting my eyes before I discovered it
But I will be fine

jaephoenix:
So what type of diabetes is gestational DM? Insulin dependent or non insulin dependent?

Gestational diabetes is for pregnant women. They're diabetic when they are pregnant but become non diabetic after delivery
Insulin dependent or type 1 DM is when the pancreas cannot produce any insulin so you have to be taking insulin injection for the rest of your life..it is mainly for children and young people
Non insulin dependent or type2 DM occurs when the pancreas can produce insulin but your body is not sensitive to the insulin
It's mainly for adults

I applied to change my date of birth but nothing has been done till now
Pls who has done his/her own? Or is it another propaganda
