How do your services help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) run their businesses?
The way IT has come to Nigeria and spread nationwide, especially for managers, has led us to significant automation of business processes. It is only the larger companies and multinational corporations that have all the basic, simple processes that bring efficiency, transparency, and cost-effectiveness to an organisation. Once you go beneath the largest bandwidth, by my estimation somewhere between 70% and 95% of all business processes, are still done manually. We view this as a huge gap in the market, and therefore decided to create less expensive versions of process automation solutions for the SME market. More importantly, rather than shoehorning existing solutions into these SMEs, our solutions had to be based on the realities of doing business in Nigeria. And that reality is that most Nigerian SMEs are competing domestically, which became our focus. By way of an example, if we consider any of the well-known international accounting or payroll solutions we hardly find one denominated in Nigerian currency, the naira. Very few of them allow the flexibility for Nigerian SMEs to exchange between the naira and other currencies with accuracy and convenience. Therefore, in building an accounting package for the local SME market our number one selling point is that it is denominated in naira. Our strategy is to seek out niche markets based on specific needs. This is where we find our greatest advantage, and where we add the most value.
Is there any other segment of the market or specific area of the economy that you foresee bringing your services to?
I would like to enter the risky and less crowded areas. We are not going to try the traditional areas where everybody has already launched themselves. I believe that Nigeria is going to change dramatically within the next two-five years, and that the change will be driven by technology.
As technology plays an increasingly important role in Nigeria's new economy, how receptive do you think Nigerians are toward innovation?
If we look at history, Nigerians are one of the largest subscribers to Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter. At some point, Nigeria was the largest market for BlackBerry devices—that was a worldwide statistic. I will say that the Nigerian market is highly receptive.
How receptive is the public sector in the same regard?
I think the case is the opposite. In the public sector, the fact is that the business cycle and culture do not encourage anybody to take bold decisions. The problem is institutionalized, actually, to help prevent corruption and fraud, but I also think the price we are paying for it as a nation is too heavy. The Nigerian public sector is slow to make decisions, except when that decision has the particular logic of emergency. The fact that in some spheres of the public service we keep appointing, re-appointing, removing, and re-installing the key leaders and decision-makers, also does not help because most new leaders want to pursue a different agenda. All these factors work against productivity. The other factor that works against us in making decisions and being receptive to new technologies is our national budget. Sometimes up until April or May of the New Year, the national budget has not even been signed or approved. The ministries and administrators are told they can spend only a certain small percentage of the total budget–but not more, causing overall anxiety. Put all of these things together and you see the problem; while we have good people keen to seize the moment, more importantly, the system, the boundary conditions within which they must act on behalf of the general public, do not allow them to do much.
As of June 2014, the ICT sector in Nigeria contributes 8% to GDP. Can the percentage rise in the future?
I think it will grow rapidly. I expect competition in ICT to be enhanced in some dramatic way. I also believe the private sector will play a key role here. My other thought is that the security sector will play a central role in this. The Nigerian security forces, the state security service, the immigration service, the customs service—all of these agencies are going to adopt different technological solutions shortly. Once our people embrace technology and, it will dramatically enhance the contribution of ICT to our economy and well-being. The rest of the Nigerian public service will also make an important contribution. Not necessarily in hardware terms, but from in terms of software, in areas such as process automation, for example. There is a strong element of ethics and transparency in most of our software solutions. We are not providing these as services; they are nonetheless delivered to our clients by default. The truth is that you cannot deliver good ERP solutions without infusing ethics and transparency into the system.


Great Achiever!

Integrated oil and gas Owned by Captain Iheanacho



By Godfrey Bivbere & Sebastine Obasi An indigenous company, Integrated Oil and Gas Ltd., has been given initial license to commence preliminary work for a 20,000 capacity modular refinery in one of the islands on the coast of Lagos.


The refinery is expected to gulp between $75 – $250 million, Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the company, Capt. Emmaneul Ihenacho, said. Ihenacho, who stated this in Lagos yesterday, said that his company has gotten preliminary approval from the Department of Petroleum Resourses, DPR, and has commenced work on the Environmental Impact Assessment, EIA. He explained that the company is working on other necessary requirements needed before the final approval for the refinery can be granted. He described the process leading to the final licensing for the project as a “continuous” one which is given in stages, saying that he intends to get funding for the project from both foreign and local banks. According to him, “If you go to the DPR website you will see all the terms and conditions for granting of refinery licenses. The DPR gives you license in stages, it gives you license to establish, license to construct and after that it gives you license to operate. “DPR would not sit down and say let us go and do an EIA and after that they will give you license. They give you license based on the technology that is used for refining and your ability to give then very good presentation on that subject before they say alright go and start it.” He also noted if the refinery is constructed without the capacity to produce Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, Automated Gas Oil, AGO and the like, the cost would be around $75 million (N25.8 billion), whereas if those components are included, the cost would be around $200 million (N69 billion). Ihenacho also said that several meetings have been held between the company’s management and the traditional rulers (about 16 Baales) around the area, with a view to having the consent of the host communities.

Read below the current stake GIP has at Gatwick Airport.

a wholly owned subsidiary of Ivy Holdco Limited. Ivy Holdco
is, in turn, owned by a consortium of companies, which has

All these posts and comments are reposted in Afonja thread just to increase their page..

They have run out of facts, info and reason...

What they do now is to recycle their old posts and make further comments on it.

This is pure concession of defeat and inferiority complex.

Nigerian immigrant, now U.S. citizen, Mba Faith has acquired Brattleboro Ford in Brattleboro, Vt. and changed the name to Faith’s Ford, reports the Brattleboro Reformer.


We don't make us unlike some people that a company in which they are the board chairman bought 49% stake in Gatwick Airport and they are claiming ownership of it.

Biography Edit

Godson Chikama Onyekwere was born in Nigeria to an Igbo family. He moved to Poland in 1993, and in 2001 became a Polish citizen. In 2008, he became a member of the Łódź City Council. In 2007, he unsuccessfully ran in the Polish parliamentary election. In 2010, he was re-elected for the City Council with 4736 votes, the second best result out of almost 800 candidates. As former MP Hanna Zdanowska was elected Mayor of Łódź in the same election, Godson replaced her as a member of the Sejm. He was sworn in on 14 December 2010. The "Obama bump" is considered by many the reason for the many votes he received during the Sejm campaign.[1] His supporters were known to cheer "Wiwat! Wiwat polski Obama!" ("Long live the Polish Obama!"wink. John Godson was re-elected as a member of the Polish parliament on 9 October 2011 with 29,832 votes [2]

Godson often emphasizes the importance of education and he is the holder of numerous academic degrees. He has a bachelor of science degree in agronomy from Abia State University in Nigeria (1987–92). He also holds Masters degrees in Human Resource Management and Development from Trinity College and Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana (2000–03)[3] and International relations from the Łódź Academy of International Studies (2006–08).[4] He finished two doctorate studies at the University of Warsaw (political Science- 2011) and University of Łódź (Management- 2012). He also holds a joint MBA/MSPC (Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Professional Communication) run by Clark University and the Łódź Academy of Management.[5]

He was a senior lecturer at the Technical University of Szczecin (1993–97) and at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań. He is a guest lecturer in various institutions of higher learning in Poland and abroad. He the founder of GODSON GROUP- a conglomerate of five companies and four foundations including the African Institute in Poland [6] and John Godson Foundation.[7] The New African magazine named him as being amongst 100 of the most influential people in Africa in 2015. On 14 November 2016, The Polish government decorated him with the National Merit Award- BENE MERITO for promoting Polish-Africa relations

Religious views Edit

Godson is a former minister of Polish Charismatic "Church of God in Christ". He is known for his strong religious beliefs. He calls himself "[...]a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God."[8]

Views on racism in Poland Edit

Godson has stated that there is "no racism" in Poland. Talking to Biuletyn Migracyjny, he said: "I've always said and still underline, that in my opinion there is no racism in Poland. There is, however, something that I call low inter-cultural competences. And this can be changed by more contact between different cultures and societal groups. No law can change the mentality of people".[9]

Godson has said that the word "Murzyn", the Polish word most commonly used to refer to black people, is not offensive and that he is proud to be called a 'Murzyn'.[10] Mamadou Diouf, a black Polish musician and representative of the Committee for the African Community (Komitet Społeczności Afrykańskiej), has criticised Godson for his use of the word, saying that it has only had "negative connotations" and that Godson does not know the origin of the word.[11]
