The funny thing is that no billboard, no advert and they keep going for years and this medicine is even sold abroad. |
In 1918, pharmacy apprentice and entrepreneur, Jacob Sogboyega Odulate created an analgesic to cure all sorts of ailments from common colds to major illnesses. Over 100 years later, Alabukun is the longest-running indigenous medical / pharmaceutical brand in Africa. Alabukun, which means “The Blessed One ” in the Yoruba language grew without significant marketing or advertising and can still be found in pharmaceutical stores in Nigeria. It is widely available in neighbouring West African countries, and all across the world; even as far off as China. How did an uneducated young man build a brand that has outlived him and is still being used today by millions across the world? 1. He understood and took advantage of the market He started his business at a period when Aspirin-caffeine powder brands were just starting to spring up in the United States. In Nigeria, there was no modern pharmaceutical industry and only a few western drugs were imported and distributed in the country by European companies. Jacob took advantage of both an emerging market and his customer needs by starting his product during this period. Alabukun old packet 2. He knew his customers’ needs and sought to satisfy them By mixing European and traditional medicine, Jacob created a product that had European credibility and local reliability. At that time, Nigerians barely had access to western drugs, all they used was herbal medication which had no recommended dosage and therefore caused more harm than good. Alabukun, produced from both local materials and imported patent drugs was perfect for his customers’ medical needs. Alabukun advert Alabukun powder 3. He created a product that worked Alabukun being in powder form means, when compared to tablets, it dissolves faster and therefore works faster. People called it “gbogbonise” a drug that cures all ailments as they did not have to buy a different drug for colds and then for fevers. They just got one Alabukun and mixed it with water to cure pain, fatigue, migraine, prevention of blood clots, back pain, rheumatic pain, toothache and other conditions. This versatility helped with its marketing as it was spread by word of mouth by consumers who attested to its effectiveness and affordability. Alabukun 4. He took branding seriously It is amazing to know that in 1918 Jacob knew to create a unique identity for his product so it will be distinguished from its foreign counterparts. He did this by naming it his already popular Yoruba nickname; Alabukun. Then he made up an identity with a red and black background with the name fully spelt out and warped to fit into an oval shape and plastered it on his product packets. That logo has hardly changed and is still being used today, even on signages, promotional materials and vehicle branding. This shows that a simple mark and identity can be unique, functional and recognisable 104 years later. Alabukun logo 5. He made his product accessible Jacob did not play hard-to-get with his product. His product was available, accessible and affordable. From the very beginning, his first drug stall was close to a street market and could be found everywhere as opposed to the white man’s stuff that was difficult to find and afford. He also made it fast-moving by packaging it in smaller, conveniently-priced packs. Presently, a sachet is 200 naira (45 cents). Alabukun in a shop 6. He used his reputation to promote his product As he was already known and trusted as a respected medicine man, putting his picture on the packs added a layer of authenticity. He also made a manual in which he identified numerous medications for diverse ailments. By doing this, he solidified his position as an expert in the medical field.

The ages of consent around the world Bahrain and South Korea have highest minimum ages for consensual sex while Nigeria has lowest couple Some countries do not have a set age of consent but only allow intercourse in The age at which a person is deemed legally competent to consent to sexual activity varies widely around the world - and even within Europe. France to set age of consent at 15 following rape outcry Kentucky child marriage ban stalled by conservatives Most countries prohibit sex with under-16s or under-18s, but in some places the age of consent is as low as 11, or as high as 20. However, even within counties this can vary widely between males and females and in cases of heterosexual and homosexual sex. In the UK, the age of consent stands at 16, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. So how does this compare with the rest of the world? Europe: Spain previously had the lowest age of consent in Europe, but raised it from 13 to 16 in 2013, bringing it in line with the UK, Russia, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland and Belgium. Children as young as 14 are considered able to consent to sex in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Portugal. By contrast, the age of consent is much higher in Turkey, at 18.

START YOUR FREE TRIALSTART YOUR FREE TRIAL The Vatican is the only jurisdiction in Europe not to have equal and gender-neutral age limits. In accordance with canon law all sex outside of marriage is illicit regardless of the age or willingness of those who engage in it, although the age at which a woman can marry is 14 compared to 16 for a man. The US: Set on a state-by-state basis, the age of consent ranges from 16 to 18. In some states, a close-in-age exemption, commonly known as “Romeo and Juliet laws”, exists to decriminalise consensual sex between two individuals who are both under the age of consent, according to independent website AgeofConsent.net. Roughly half of all US states allow children under the age of consent to get married with special permission, either from parents or from a court. Children as young as ten were among the almost 250,000 US minors who got married between 2000 and 2010, The Guardian reports. Several states are in the process of introducing legislation to close these loopholes.

In Libya and Sudan, the age of consent is not specified, but marriage is legally required before sex is allowed. Asia and Oceania: Individuals aged below 20 in South Korea are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape. At the other end of the spectrum, the Philippines has faced calls to raise its age of consent from 12, with a bill currently passing through parliament to increase it to 16. In Japan the age of consent is low at 13, although some municipalities such as Tokyo prohibit sexual activity under 18 years old in most circumstances. On mainland China the minimum age is 14, rising to 16 in Hong Kong. In all Australian territories, the age of consent is 16, except for in South Australia and Tasmania, where it is 17. In India it is 18, while some strict Muslim countries such as Malaysia outlaw homosexual sex at any age. Middle East: Like parts of North Africa, most Middle Eastern countries do not have a set age of consent but require that the couple are married. This includes Afghanistan, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Yemen. In many countries where sex outside of marriage is illegal, the minimum age of marriage is lower for women than for men. It is common for courts to grant permission for girls to marry below the legal age. In Iran in 2010, for example, The Telegraph reported that as many as 42,000 children aged between ten and 14 were married, and 716 girls younger than ten had wed. In Jordan, 16-year-olds can consent to sex, while in Iraq they must be 18. By contrast, Bahrain has the highest age of consent in the world, at 21. South America: In Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, the age of consent is 14, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Paraguay, meanwhile, has the age set at 14 for heterosexual relations, but at 16 for homosexual sexual activity, and does not have a close-in-age exemption. In Chile, where the age of consent is 18, it is possible for two individuals both aged 17 or under who willingly engage in intercourse to be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. https://www.theweek.co.uk/92121/ages-of-consent-around-the-world

Its now over 2week that you promised to give me my balance but you didnt. I have learnt my lesson not to trust anybody again. You even have the audacity to threaten me about the project you did for me that you will report to my school that you did it even though I paid you for that. You really let me down. Now you said if i dont bring down the post you wont return my money even after i removed your profile from it. Only God will judge btw us if I deserve this. I paid you without finishing the other projects just to encourage you. The only thing I will say is that you will hear from God before this year ends. I wont talk about the money anymore. I deleted your number and I dont want to have anything to do with you again. I will advise you to read. Proverbs 17: 13 |
Really.. because i ask for my money. Is that the money i paid you. Can you just give me all the money i paid you back. Am not asking for too much. Its over 1week now |
Pay me my money John Famous Onaji |
