My people and friends of my people, I come with a proposal. It can't be a one man mission. We have to, need to, and must access and reawaken our people. Due to ignorance, we have multiple Yorubas 1) clamoring for one Nigeria 2) thinking like FFK, Kemi Ololoyo and Fayose (who sent Ekiti people to go learn nonsense in Aba, when he could have sent them to Ogun or Lagos). It seems like a great number of Yorubas are ignorant of the intellectual and businesses they own. They've been fed so much lies about some traders owning this percentage and that percentage, and the unfortunate thing about it is that, many have come to believe the lies. Can we take the knowledge we've amassed on this thread beyond NL? I am proposing creating a 1) FB & 2) Twitter accounts to celebrate our people. However, this has to be carried out as an executable and SUSTAINABLE project. The group would be used to share knowledge about Yorubas' economic, interest and many other things. We'll also accept guest posts. So it's a content based groups where people write pieces and submit to admin. People can also ask questions to foster conversations. The groups would also be used to reawaken Yoruba consciousness cos most of those silly Yoruba Facebook groups aren't doing anything meaningful other than posting pictures of babies wearing agbada and telling people to like posts If you're in, please reply my quoting me and letting me know your stance. I give each man a week to stake his ground. Can we guarantee 200 members for a start? Whatever you choose will not change my wonderful opinion of all of you.

Teju Industries Limited, a firm specialized in foam manufacturing was established in 1973, by the late Chief Mrs. Bisoye Tejuosho, Iyalode of Egbaland with a loan from the defunct Nigerian Industrial Development Bank. She was a versatile, hardworking merchant who had a thriving commodity trading business, before venturing into manufacturing by partnering with a Norwegian businessman to set up a polyurethane factory to produce foams. Unfortunately, the partnership was short lived, and Tejuosho parted ways with the man and decided to set up her own firm - a feat which saw her becoming the first female industrialist, in the country. Their flagship product was Teju Foam range of flexible foam mattresses, underlays, pillows and other foam products. Her son Adedapo, who was a fully qualified medical doctor, also joined her in the business, and set up a clinic within the premises of the company. That medical care centre was known as Teju Industrial Clinic. He later ascended the throne of his forefathers, and was crowned Oba (Dr.) Adedapo Adewale Tejuoso, Karunwi III, Osile Oke-Ona of Egbaland. Teju Industrial Clinic at Ilupeju in Lagos, was later renamed Iyalode Bisoye Tejuoso Hospital, in memory of his late mother. At the hospital, his son Prince Lanre Tejuosho is currently developing the use of telemedicine for complex surgical and diagnostic procedures. Teju Foam products were popular, and well accepted in the market for many years, until a huge fire outbreak razed down a major arm of the factory in the 80s. They had to scale down the size of their operations substantially after that incident, and put a hold on further expansion projects. The company now has other subsidiaries engaged in petroleum products retail marketing, poultry farms, estate development, and furniture manufacturing in Lagos and Abeokuta. They all form part of the holding company now known as Teju Group of Companies. The popular Tejuosho market in Yaba area of Lagos, is named after the late matriarch of the Tejuosho family, Chief Mrs. Esther Bisoye Tejuosho. 1 Like

Please someone need to compile this list. At least, we should have a copy to educate most of us that still think Igbos have most of the industries in South West. The Igbos import low quality goods and rebrand them as Aba made (apart from shoes which we also make in SW). If their claims were true where do raw materials come from. There is no way industries will exist in state and they don't buy raw materials as input. I won't be surprised if Ibadan is also more industrialized than any igbo state. Onitsha is more of a market not industrialized city. Nnewi is full of Chinese helping to repackage toothbrushes, iron wires instead of copper wires, etc. It is funny for people to claim they developed another man's land when their land have nothing close. 1 Like |

iblawi: It is only someone that hasn't been to Igboland that will believe all the rubbish lies they are telling. I stand by my assertion that southeast is the 2nd most impoverished geopolitical zone after the war ravaged Northeast. This assertion is based on firsthand account. There are no cultivable lands, no foods, no jobs, no money, very little hope which explain the reason while they keep trooping to other regions despite animosity they are receiving of late. The successful ones among them don't go back home because they get killed, the few ones that go back are very oppresive and mean to these poor people 3 Likes |

Bolaji Balogun CEO of Chapel Hill Denham “One of the greatest misconceptions that people have about Africa, still, is that it is too risky. What they need to realize is that risk is easily translated into opportunity,” says Bolaji Balogun, CEO of Chapel Hill Denham. Balogun set up Chapel Hill, a financial services advisory firm based in Lagos, in 2005 but with keen ambitions to develop his business into a full-service investment bank, Chapel Hill merged with Denham Management in 2008, with Balogun at the helm. He has firmly established the business as one of Nigeria’s most trusted and well-connected advisers. “The integration process when we first merged with Denham was interesting to begin with,” he explains. “We had tripled our number of employees and our client base had become a lot more diversified: Whereas we were used to serving institutional clients, we now had to increasingly serve retail clients as well.” After quickly overcoming these initial difficulties, Chapel Hill Denham has become the backbone of Nigerian investment banking, with leading positions in M&A, debt and equity capital markets. Any risks that were initially felt soon dissipated. Throughout his career, Balogun has proved to be a self-starter and keen business-person, stepping away from the family business and carving out his own career. One highlight for Balogun and Chapel Hill Denham was the advisory work the investment bank did during the banking crisis that hit Nigeria in 2008. Alongside Deutsche, Balogun and his team were brought in to advise Nigeria’s central bank on the rescue and recapitalization of the failing banks. Chapel Hill Denham led the work stream leading to the formation and funding of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (Amcon). “In effect we saved depositors from losing N4.5 trillion [$27.7 billion] in savings – a fate that people elsewhere were not able to avoid,” he says. “We worked well with the central bank and others to ensure that the taxpayer didn’t bear the burden of the downfall. This was a massive achievement for us, pivotal to cementing faith into the banking sector in Nigeria and supporting it.” And as part of the banking recapitalization process, in 2011 Amcon issued zero-coupon bonds for three years with a face value of N5.6 trillion – the first time zero-coupon bonds were issued in Nigeria. “Before the bonds were due to mature in December 2013, there were concerns that Amcon could default, but we successfully lead managed a landmark N3.8 trillion refinancing deal for it,” says Balogun. 1 Like |
