Ngozi Madueke-Dozie, Manager, iflix Nigeria Nigeria’s quantum subscriber base, our major attraction – Ngozi Madueke-Dozie. Poised to transform the way Nigerians access content and avert piracy by providing affordable diverse content, iflix has berthed in Nigeria. The company’s country Manager, Ngozi Madueke-Dozie has been in the communication, entertainment and technology sectors for 12 years and has served as tech expert in various companies, including MTN, Iroko and Bicom of Mtv Base, before porting to iflix. In this interview, she reveals iflix’s blueprint for Nigeria’s teaming 51 million smart phone users. Why is iflix in Nigeria? Nigeria would have up to 75.9 million people online by 2020 and we want to key into that. This nation is pertinent in iflix’s goal to transform the way one billion people view content. Nigeria has a population of 192 million; 135 million of that number is around 30 years of age. Mobile subscribers are at 151 million while, mobile broadband base is 91million with 51million smart phone users. Mobile internet traffic is 76 percent; internet and smart phone penetration are 53 and 30 percent respectively. This is the place to be. The potential that Nigeria has to offer is existential. Ultimately, Nigeria is existential in iflix’s existence, in terms of our goal in Africa. We are trying to reach a billion people but first of all we need to reach the most populous, we will still get to the less populated countries, but in terms of relevance and importance, we cannot come to Africa without launching in Nigeria or without first being successful in Nigeria. Most importantly, we are here to feel the pulse of Nigerians, to build Nigerian based content and give the people only what they want. What is iflix? We are a leading Subscriber Video on Demand platform founded in Malaysia two years ago. We are now in Nigeria and in partnership with over 200 studios and distributors in the world. Simply put, iflix is an application where you can watch and download movies. With iflix you have access of thousands of content from Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood, sports, cartoons, series, you name, we have it. You can access iflix with N800 monthly with the first month being free. Iflix is how we intend to combat piracy by giving people quality, convenient and affordable options from an array of highly diverse content. How does iflix generate content? Our goal is to create our own content, which is not only unique to us but it is sought after and subscribers will be more than willing to pay for it. We have sports highlight on the application, we are however looking to get life feeds. There are movie houses that have movies exclusive to their viewing platform. The truth is that content is king and you will always have to pay for content if you are not generating your own content. Eventually, there will be iflix exclusives. Nigerians can send content to us by mailing Ali Yakubu, the Content Aquisition Manager at ali@iflix.com or bring it to us on the 1st floor, Workstation, at 7, Ibiyinka Olorunbe Close, Victoria Island, Lagos. How can iflix be accessed? First step is to download the application from your mobile store, like Playstoreb for instance. Next step is search and download. After the first month ubscription is N800 per month as opposed to other than charge N1,000 and pay TV which goes for N4,500. Invariably, the average 20 minutes series will cost 25mb, so with 1GB data you can get a full season. We are basically cheaper and we bill in dollars. We have over five million members and five billion minutes of movies streamed since it was launched in 2015. What are your plans to censor content? We are talking with religious bodies to get religious content for interested subscribers. We are also following the guidelines of the Nigerian Film and Video Censor Board, NFVCB, to ensure that only content that fits their specifications, are on iflix Nigeria. Also, iflix has a parental control feature which gives parents the ability to determine the kind of contents their children view. There isthe support section where users can lay their complaints concerning the application, in case of any. How does the presence of iflix improve employment in Nigeria? We think beyond our direct employment; thousands of youths, as talent, movie producers and marketers are going to get employed due to the existence of this service in Nigeria. This is because we are offering a safe and far reaching portal that is piracy free and suited for the Nigerian audience. Diamond Bank, MTN, Women’s World Banking Partner To Simplify Saving Culture Among Women A leading retail bank, using new technology and digital applications to drive financial inclusion and innovative customer experience, while contributing to Nigeria’s economic growth, Diamond Bank, in partnership with MTN and global nonprofit; Women’s World Banking, is unveiling the next phase of the Diamond Y’ello account aimed at encouraging more… Why Tech Will Help Unbanked Population' 84.6 million Nigerians, accounting for 47 percent of the country's population are unbanked. In a sharp contrast, mobile phone penetration is very high at 94.5 percent with 30 percent of Nigerians owning a smartphone.. We are uniquely great! |

Favour Nnaemeka ―Nigerian born youngest Pilot(20
Years) Twenty-year-old Favour Nnaemeka Odozor was penultimate Saturday in South Africa, awarded license as a commercial pilot, making him the youngest in South Africa and Nigeria commercial pilot. He talks about his journey to becoming a pilot and what he has planned next; Q: How do you feel being the youngest commercial pilot in Nigeria and South Africa? Favour Odozor: It is not a feeling out of the ordinary; it was that of a childhood dream of being a commercial pilot which finally came through and at the age of 20. That I was able to achieve this in countries advanced in aviation like Nigeria and South Africa, is equally rewarding. But I know there are many younger ones out there who do have the wherewithal to achieve this even while younger than I am now. Q: Could you tell us a bit about yourself? I am, was born in Umuoma Amucha in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State by Mr and Mrs Odozor. I attended Adimery nursery/primary Oguta, Imo state. I had my secondary education in Lagos and Enugu before proceeding to Caritas University, Enugu State where I enrolled for Computer Science and Information Technology. I deferred this in my second year to go to South Africa’s prestigious Afrika Union Aviation Academy to undergo training as a commercial pilot. This I have completed within a good time and currently licensed on a multi engine airplane with instrument rating. Q: What were your aspirations growing up? I’d always desired to become a pilot right from childhood. I remember always running out of the building just to catch a glimpse of an airplane on hearing its cruising sound possibly at 36 – 38 thousand feet overhead. It usually depressed me the moment it disappears. Then my mother would calm me down by saying ‘don’t worry one day God will make this a reality but focus on your studies for now in order to obtain brilliant results if you would like to be a pilot’. That motivated me a lot that I made sciences my bread and butter while at school just to achieve this dream. Copied: www. Q: Could you explain what it felt like for you when you were awarded the license? I felt very good when being awarded this license. I pursed it vigorously and competed with many other students from all over the world with some dropping from the school halfway into the training. Also the presence of Nigerian dignitaries at the graduation was very heartwarming. I’ve never been so proud, as a Nigerian achieving what I had. I felt honoured by their presence, meeting and sharing photos with them. They are very humble as against what you would read in the newspapers about them. Yet I felt very accomplished but then also realized that there is even more to do from here onwards |
Enyimba international football club is the best, richest, popular, most decorated and successful and the strongest club in Nigeria.

Enyimba International Football Club, the Most successful club in Nigeria. Enyimba International Football Club, or simply Enyimba , is a Nigerian football (soccer) club based in the city of Aba which plays in the Nigerian Premier League . Their name means People's Elephant in Igbo language and is also the nickname used for the city of Aba. Founded in 1976, the club rose to prominence in the 2000s and is considered the most successful Nigerian football club as they won two African Champions League titles, six Nigerian championships and four Federation Cups since 2001. Early years The club was founded as a state-owned club in November 1976 by Jerry Amadi Enyeazu who was the first Director for Sports in the newly established Imo State, a province in southeast Nigeria. In August 1991 Imo State was divided further and the Abia State was created from the part of Imo which included the city of Aba, Enyimba's hometown, so the new state's government took over as owners of Enyimba. In the 1970s and 1980s Enyimba struggled to make a notable impact as the traditional powerhouses such as Enugu Rangers , Shooting Stars, Bendel Insurance and local rivals Iwuanyanwu Nationale dominated Nigerian football. Enyimba's rise to fame began in 1990 when the Professional League was inaugurated. In their first season in the top division Enyimba finished 13th out of 16 clubs, winning just five out of 30 games with a goal difference 25–36. In the following season they won eight games but still finished 15th with 36 points, just one point short from escaping relegation behind Stationery Stores , and were relegated to second level for the 1992 season. Enyimba then stayed in the second level for the next two seasons before winning promotion in 1993, finishing first with 29 wins out of 46 games, winning a record 96 points with a goal difference 64–25, with most goals scored and fewest goals conceded in the 24-team league. Back in top level, their string of good results continued, and they finished the 1994 season third, behind BCC Lions and Shooting Stars, missing out on a spot in the 1995 CAF Cup on goal difference. After a mediocre 1995 season, they won fourth place in 1996, before a series of inconsistent result saw them narrowly escaping relegation on goal difference in 1997 and finishing seventh in 1998. Rise to prominence Enyimba's fortunes began to change in 1999 when Orji Uzor Kalu was elected Governor of Abia State in the first democratic elections held in the country after several years of military rule. Kalu then proceeded to ensure generous funding for the local team and appointed Felix Anyansi Agwu as the new chairman of the club, who in turn appointed Godwin Koko Uwa as the club's first coach in the new era. The appointment soon returned results, with Uwa leading Enyimba to their first Nigerian championship title in the 2001 season, as well as winning the Nigerian Super Cup in October 2001 by beating Dolphins 2–0 in Maiduguri. Their first silverware marked the beginning of a period of Enyimba's dominance in Nigerian football. The People's Elephant experienced international football for the first time in August 2001, when they were invited to play Internazionale at San Siro in a charity friendly which marked the return of Ronaldo after a 21-month injury layoff and saw Enyimba thrashed 7–0 with four goals from Christian Vieri. [3] They also had their first appearance in a continental competition in the 2002 CAF Champions League . Due to the lack of a good playing ground at their base in Aba, the club played their home matches in Calabar , a neighbouring town and the capital of the Cross River State. After winning the first round tie against Étoile Filante 5–3 on aggregate, they were knocked out in the second round by the 1998 Champions ASEC Mimosas of Côte d'Ivoire . The defeat proved to be another turning point in the history of the club as it was the main cause for the club's rebuilding of what used to be a substandard playing pitch into the Enyimba International Stadium, a 15,000 capacity stadium equipped with floodlights, electronic scoreboard and covered seats, which was later inspected by the CAF president Issa Hayatou and was officially approved for that year's CAF Champions League matches. The club went on to win their second successive Nigerian title in 2002, and then became the first Nigerian club to win the continent's premier international club competition in the 2003 CAF Champions League by beating Ismaily of Egypt 2–1 on aggregate, under coach Kadiri Ikhana. This was also the first time since 1996 that a Nigerian club had reached the final of the competition. Several key players from Enyimba's 2003 continental success have since gone on to play for Nigeria, including Vincent Enyeama , Muri Ogunbiyi, Obinna Nwaneri and Onyekachi Okonkwo . Enyimba then successfully defended their title as won their second consecutive African Champions League title in 2004 , beating Tunisia's Étoile du Sahel in the finals. After finishing runners-up in the national championship in 2004 (behind Dolphins ), Enyimba won the Double in 2005, winning their fourth Nigerian championship and their first Nigerian Cup . Awards In 2003 , Enyimba won the best team in Africa award while coach Kadiri emerged the best coach. In 2004, the club retained the best coach award while the club's first choice goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama won the Champions league player of the year. These two Champions league victories in the hands of West African teams, plus the second CAF Super Cup against Accra Hearts of Oak finally brought Enyimba to the limelight of African football. The team signed a $300,000 uniform deal with Joma in 2008. [4] 2008–09 season The team finished third in the Premier League with 64 points. On 12 July, Enyimba defeated Sharks FC by a lone goal at the Teslim Balogun Stadium to lift the 2009 Federation Cup and qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup 2010 . 2012–13 season The team was on course to reclaim the League title from Kano Pillars but crowd trouble forced the match to be abandoned. A rearranged match on 9 October 2013 in Lokoja saw them lose to Pillars who eventually won the league with 63 points while Enyimba finished with 62 points. Enyimba would however go on to win the Nigerian FA Cup that year where they faced Warri Wolves in the finals. The match ended 2–2 and 5–4 on penalties. 2013–14 season The 2013–14 season started in abysmal form for the People's Elephants. They were knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Real Bamako and they had a stuttering start to their own campaign. They ended the first half of the season in 6th place after Giwa FC who were led by Enyimba's Champions League winning coach Kadiri Ikhana held them to a goalless draw in Aba. They made a move for Ikhana at the start of the second half, firing the then technical adviser, Zachary Baraje. The team eventually finished second in that Premier League season with 64 points. They finished behind Kano Pillars who they beat 3–1 on the last day of the season. It was a campaign that saw them win just 1 out of their 6 Oriental Derbies, the only win being a 2–1 home win to Rangers International. State Rivals Abia Warriors beat them 1–0 in Aba, Cletus Itodo getting the decisive goal. They also dropped points in Aba to Giwa FC and Heartland of Owerri. Enyimba striker Mfon Udoh set a new goal scoring record of the season, scoring 23 goals. Emem Eduok of Dolphins finished behind him with 21 goals both beating Jude Aneke's record of 20 goals. The season ended on a high like the previous season as Enyimba won the 2014 Edition of the Federations Cup at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos on 23 November 2014, beating Dolphins 2–1 in the finals. Mfon Udoh scored Enyimba's first while Chinonso Okonkwo got the second. Emem Eduok pulled one back for Dolphins. |

E-money

E- Money is no doubt a billionaire as he has made a lot of money in real estate and in the oil and gas sector. Emeka Okonkwo, as he is known, is arguably one of the wealthiest young men in Nigeria and his record label investment is also one of the richest today. The young dude is also the big boss at Emmy Cargoes Nig. Limited; he is one of the major investor and player in the Nigerian Shipping world. He is a true business man as he has investments in so many businesses in town. He is behind the expensive videos of the Limpopo crooner, Kcee, who is his direct younger brother. E-Money’s story would never be complete without including the story of his elder brother, Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, a.k.a Kcee, as they both grew up in Ajegunle, Lagos state and virtually attended the same schools from childhood. Their father was a DJ who also sells CDs. It is no wonder that the duo ended falling in love with the music business as one owns a record label while the other is a musician. This rich dude’s grass to grace tale actually kicked off when he tried his hands on so many things as a youth would do before finally registering a small clearing and forwarding company known as Borisa Nig. Ltd at Apapa in 1997. The company was located at 22 Creek Road, Apapa. He later invested in other businesses as he grew his clearing and forwarding business. Emeka persevered at what he was doing until he finally got his break. Although he is not as popular as the Don of this world, he has made a lot of money and has produced fantastic quality music videos via his record label. He has also impacted in young lives with his various businesses and investment project. Charity E-Money is a charitable person and a giver as he helps those in need and foundations for children who would wish to attend school or learn a trade. True to his tribe, he has employed a lot of boys to work for him at his many establishments. He has also given a lot of younger guys the platform to learn a trade and become men of their own. Investments He has investments in the oil and gas sector, the shipping and businesses outside the entertainment world. Through his record label, the likes of Kcee, Harrysong and some others have had to do expensive videos and live protected life style. Properties E-money is also an international business man, so it is of no question that he has expensive, out-of-this-world houses abroad. Recently, he unveiled his multi- million naira five star mansion in a choice area in Lagos despite the fact that he has other choice properties both in Lagos, Abuja and other part of Nigeria. The house warming ceremony of his latest house in Lagos was a great time of wining and dinning with members of his Record label. According to the news, the house is like a five- star hotel and the treatment served was indeed a five-star treatment. Cars You can have a field day glancing at trucks of different expensive ranges, colours and sizes as he is a freak of expensive cars and trucks like the G-Wagons, the Range Rovers Sports, the BMW of this world, the jaguars, the Prado jeeps and many more that are packed in his garage and some are even packed in front to his house. |
