afonjaheadhunt: you already bored me with all the long post and still not up to 5 names you keep saying you are not Afonja but you keep fighting their battles with your long and pointless post, you tried to prove that Afonjas are also manufacturers yet I don't see any names except Okoya please do a better job and get me a list even if it is 30 I will give you a pass Mark mind you the companies listed here are only indigenous Anambra companies if you give me 30 from Afonja put together I will give you another 50 from Anambra.
Mind you I never said others don't manufacture anything but Afonjas trying to measure up to Igbo's in terms of production and manufacturing has to be is the biggest joke of 2017. You should no Igbo's are no joke when it come to production when the Vice President, former presidents, Senators, minister of information, army chiefs etc continue to visit the space in regards their industrialization drive.
Like I told your brothers before, I have lived and worked in Lagos for several years. And the hospitality of the SW people is commendable. They don't do 'gra-gra' like your people, and do not look down on others without cause. If you respect them, they respect you in return, unlike your folks who think that when you offer them respect, it means you are weak. So they try to rub your nose in the mud.
Anyway, I cannot see the truth and hide it. For every entrepreneur in the Southeast doing business in a particular field, you also have their equivalent in the Southwest, doing even greater things.I just chose a few to illustrate this point in my last post, and you are still crying that you have not seen those examples I cited. Ok let me repeat it slowly so that you'll get it. For every name on your list Bro', there is also a direct competitor or a leader in that industry that happens to be from another ethnic group, including the Yoruba. It will take all day to list them. I fit borrow you my contact lens, make you take check am, o!

Bimbo Oye-Akinnifesi is the creative director of Reni Smiths. She spent her early years growing up in Lagos. Her grandmother was a seamstress thus giving her an early taste of the world of design and fashion. Beginning her formal training at Instituto di Moda Burgo where she got a diploma in fashion styling. She entered the exciting world of fashion by establishing the Reni Smith brand which she launched at the 2013 edition of GTBank Lagos Fashion & Design Week as one of the top 10 young designers showcasing the Bella Donna collection.
After the launch, the brand received massive acceptance and she has had the honor of designing clothes for top female celebrities in Nigeria, as well as had the Reni Smith pieces worn on the red carpet for different award shows. Bimbo has been featured in notable fashion blogs, magazines and television programmes within and outside the country. The year looks very promising for this young designer and she is one to definitely lookout for in the year 2015.
Vistaprint has been around for twenty years, so if you live in the U.S. or Europe, ordering printed material online might not seem like a big deal. In Nigeria, however, getting business card and flyers are still a pain that requires multiple visits to a brick-and-mortar shop, says Printivo founder Oluyomi Ojo.
Ojo has family members who work in the printing industry, but he didn’t realize how complicated it is to handle orders until he became a managing director at an ad agency, especially for customers outside of Lagos, one of Nigeria’s printing hubs.
“Small businesses are not really catered to. If you want to print a quantity as low as 100 business cards, you might have to travel two hours to a print shop, sit down and have someone design them, then come back in a week and pick them up,” says Ojo.
“We saw there are a lot of problems for small-scale businesses that want to order print marketing. It’s a huge opportunity for us because there are more than 17 million small businesses in Nigeria alone.”
Printivo printing facilityFounded in 2013 by Ojo, Ibukun Oloyede, and Ayodeji Adeogun, Printivo ships express orders throughout Nigeria and will expand to other English-speaking African countries after landing seed funding from EchoVC Partners earlier this month. In addition to business cards, flyers, and stationery, Printivo also produces tote bags, mugs, and wedding favors.
There are other online print businesses in Nigeria, including PrintSharply and InstantPrint, but Ojo says Printivo differentiates by offering a larger selection of products and templates created by its full-time graphic designers (customers can also upload their own designs to the site). Ojo claims that Printivo’s tech platform lets users create and order printed goods in as little as 10 to 15 minutes.
“It takes away the weeks and days of calling and finding graphic designers and printers,” he says. Shipments within Lagos usually take two to three days, while orders reach the rest of Nigeria in about five days.
Along with launching in new markets, Printivo will expand its business model by launching an online marketplace for graphic designers, as well as a service similar to CafePress that will handle orders for companies that want to sell custom goods. The startup also has a B2B segment, focusing on larger companies; Ojo says clients so far have included Google, DHL, and telecom Etisalat.
While Nigeria’s Internet penetration rate is one of the highest in Africa (and still growing rapidly), Ojo is not worried that companies will begin rejecting printed products in favor of online marketing campaigns.
“Print gives you a level of tangibility that online cannot give,” says Ojo. “People get to feel and touch your materials and that really drives growth here.”

Which 'yeye joke? Coscharis does NOT assemble Ford and BMW locally, nah! He only imports fully built-up units, and resells them. Do you know how many car dealers are doing the same thing in Lagos?
