CHIEF R. A. ADENIJI: Chairman/FOUNDER http://starlinkglobalng.com/company/management-profile/ Our history dates back to 1948, however, our operation as it is today was incorporated in 2002, with formation and transition period between 1999-2002. We emanated from R.A. Adeniji Enterprises, a prominent cocoa producer and supplier to many international buyers for more than 50 years. We have continued this knowledge and skills successfully from the farms to many of our clients; many of whom are cocoa processors and chocolate producers globally. Our strategy is to focus exclusively on our core competence which is marketing of agricultural produce; principally Cocoa Beans & Cashew Nut, and targeting the top end of local and international markets. With this, we have successfully created a reliable, efficient and growing physical agricultural trading house, with a wealth of knowledge and experience in-house; including farmers, logistical experts, farm-gate buyers, international traders and internationally knowledgeable back-office team to handle our clients’ interests from point of order to successful deliveries. Consequently, we have grown steadily and achieving an annual turnover of over 37.0 Billion Naira since incorporation. mercyville: OUR PARTNERS ROCKWINDS COCOA ... Olam International ...

CHIEF R. A. ADENIJI: Chairman/FOUNDER Starlink Haulage Services started out of our quest and dire need for a standard haulage operation. Starlink Global & Ideal Limited being a major agricultural produce exporting Company in Nigeria cannot downplay the indispensability of haulage. Our annual produce purchase is about 7 billion naira and the movement of the produce from the hinterland to the ports cannot be left in the hands of incompetent haulage providers. This exigency prompted the Management to begin to prepare ground for the operation of haulage services to be independently run by logistics and haulage experts. Today, Starlink Haulage Services is a leading haulage provider to corporate organizations within the private and public sectors of the economy. We provide efficient and effective haulage services across the country and we have set a very high standard of service in the industry. We are known for timely delivery which do not only save time but also go a long way to reduce unnecessary overhead cost. With a fleet of 15 trailers and 4 tankers, our network covers the length and breadth of the country. Service Option For the convenience of our teeming customers, we offer a wide range of service options covering transportation of light and bulky loads across the North and South, West and Eastern parts of Nigeria. Our trucks are new model and fit for tough weather condition. We offer: Load and go for long distances. Delivery within 24 hours for short distances. Prompt availability of our trucks at the customer’s premises for convenient loading. Truck hiring. Safety To ensure efficient service delivery and safety of loads, Starlink Haulage Services employ experienced drivers who are safety conscious. We also expose our drivers to constant training and retraining on road usage and safety measures. They are permanently banned from taking intoxicants especially when at work. We have a crop of qualified engineers and technicians who handle our truck repairs and servicing. They give constant reports on the state of the trucks and recommend accordingly. All the trucks are road safety compliant. To ensure adequate compensation in case of undesirable occurrences (damage to goods and accident), our trailers are covered by Goods in Transit (GIT) insurance policy. Our Clients Larfage Cement Wapco Nig. Plc. Vitapur Nigeria Limited. Brisktrade Investment Limited. Kajad Investment Limited. Mike Model Investment Limited. Lawalas Ventures Limited. Olu Golden Nig.

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE Starlink’s strategy has been to focus exclusively on its’ core competence which is marketing of agricultural produce, mainly Cocoa beans & Cashew nuts targeting the top end of Local & International markets. We are located in every cocoa producing area in Nigeria, this has given us a niche among our pairs. We have an all-round yearly supply of cocoa with high quality in respective of season or weather with an annual tonnage of 20,000 – 25,000 tons of cocoa of which 15,000 – 17,000 tons are main crop. Cocoa Season Early-Crop – Between ….. and ……. § Bean Count : 260 grams / 300 beans § Total Defect : 4% max § Moisture : 9% max § Slaty : 6% max § Impurities : 1% Max Mid-Crop – Between ….. and ……. Bean Count : 280 grams / 300 beans Total Defect : 8% max Moisture : 9% max Slaty : 4% max Impurities : 1% Max Main-Crop – Between September and March Bean Count : 300 grams / 300 beans Total Defect : 5% max Moisture : 7.5% max Slaty : 4% max Impurities : 0.5% Max Logistical Assets for Movement of cocoa We own 22 small trucks that are used to bring cocoa out from villages to collation centres. We own 15 trailers to carry cocoa directly from our warehouse and onto port warehouses and Lagos ports. Independent Inspectorates We welcome any nominated independent inspectorates as preferred by our buyers, such as, SGS, Bureau Veritas, et al. Our Delivery Terms § FOB | upon independent inspection at our or that of buyer(s) chosen warehouse(s). § CFR | upon independent inspection at our or that of buyer(s) chosen warehouse(s). § CIF | upon independent inspection at our or that of buyer(s) chosen warehouse(s). Our Payment Terms § 100% Against Warehouse Warrant. § 100% Payment against documents on quality and quantity. § 100% by Confirmed Letter of Credit from a first class bank, payable 98/2%. Our Pricing Structure § Differential to LIFFE Market in London as per the relevant trading month. § Outright price in USD. Our Procedure At the warehouse the intervening inspectorate, such as SGS or buyers’ appointed representatives are free to inspect the quality of the agreed lot. Upon a satisfactory report and approval, we proceed to stuffing as per buyer’s instructions or an inspectorate – if applicable. Our warehouses in Lagos are those of Libra Circle and Sigma Imprex, Churchgate Compound, Isolo, Lagos. However, we are happy to use our buyers’ warehouses by mutual agreement, but cost of moving cocoa to buyers’ nominated warehouses would be for the buyers’ account. § Stuffing cost at our warehouse is our cost. § Stuffing cost at a nominated warehouse is our cost, but we need to know and mutually agree prior on the cost, as this may depend on whom our buyers’ chose to employ. § Forwarding cost in either option is ours, but should our buyer(s) use own forwarder, we would need prior knowledge and the prevailing market situation prior on the charges, in case buyer(s) forwarder’s cost differ significantly from ours. Buyers’ point of ownership/responsibility/playability: upon stuffing of the cargo and sealing of the containers. As from this point onwards, we are no longer in control.[/color] 1 Like |

Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin does not look like a tech geek. She is feminine, pretty with an easy-going smile. She is the founder/lead coordinator of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) with a mission to get more girls into the the tech world, by teaching them coding, and other ICT skills. Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin is a social impact entrepreneur and founder of Pearls Africa Foundation an NGO focused on promoting technological advancement of vulnerable women and girls. She has over 12 years’ of experience in Information Technology Solutions. She is Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) and an Oracle Database Administrator (OCDBA) amongst others. Abisoye is a technology savvy, data analyst with a passionate heart for change and a strong will to make it happen. Her NGO has 3 projects under its' hat: Girls-Coding, Empowered Hands, GirlsInSTEM and GC Mentors. Her objective is to equip young teenage girls with functional ICT skills, so they can attain economic independence, in the commercial world. These 10 – 17 year-old girls usually come from public schools, orphanages and other underserved disadvantaged communities with poor infrastructure and educational facilities. Pearls Africa promotes the advancement of young girls and women, (with more focus on vulnerable young girls living in under-served communities) by giving them training in technology, skill acquisitions, entrepreneurship, mentorship and Internship placements. Pearls Africa has a community of young girls and women in the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) field, who are taught various skills including ethics, leadership skills, self-empowerment/development, confidence, public speaking,self esteem which leads to economic independence. One of the initiatives from Pearls Africa, is Girls Coding, which is an intense program for young girls, within the 10-17 years age range, living in underserved communities in Nigeria. It trains such girls in computer skills, robotics, software programing using HTML and Java, and also connects them to female mentors, and links them to tech companies for internship. It is a project that is being done in partnership with the US Mission in Nigeria. Girls Coding, encourages its' female participants to make use of brain tasking puzzles from code.org and coderdojo to get started in the programme. Abisoye's vision in setting up this initiative, is to add 20,000 female programmers into the Nigerian tech eco-system, by the year 2020. By equipping these girls with these tech skills, Abisoye Ajayi believes it would empower them, because "an empowered girl will become an empowered woman, an empowered woman builds an empowered family, and an empowered family builds a powerful nation." Through the Pearls Africa Foundation, Abisoye also established Lady Labs to serve as a space for girls from the poorest communities to get a functional I.T skill as well as a space for ladies studying computer science in tertiary institutions, to gain practical experience. It will also serve as a co-working space for female tech founders. 1 Like |

Femi Obagun - MD, Onward Stationery Stores Limited/Onward Paper Mill Limited ONWARD STATIONERY STORES LTD Is a limited liability company formed in 1953 by Chief M. Obagun. He started trading paper just after leaving school, at first buying locally before he began wholesale imports. Whenever he is in the mood and feels like recanting the story, one will know that the first type of paper he imported was NCR from a Norwegian company and this little transaction is what really started the journey of OSS. In time he was able to build a team around him that shared his ideas of integrity, his vision and commitment to excellence. With people like Mr. Emmanuel Ogunsanya, his erstwhile managing diector, who worked with the company for 40 years. OSS expanded into importation of many other paper products over the years and built a solid reputation for supplying quality paper products. In fact, the name Onward came to be closely associated with quality. In time the OSS vision to become a topmost supplier of quality paper products expanded into manufacturing paper products. In 1973, Onward Paper Mill was birthed to manufacture stationery products like notebooks and envelopes amongst others. In 1989, Epesok paper mill was created to manufacture jumbo rolls and tissue products Our strategic location at the heart of the biggest paper market in Lagos and possibly Nigeria ensures our customers are never too far from getting access to our papers and our warehouse in the same axis is big enough to accommodate paper stocks to satisfy our customers. OUR VISION AND MISSION It is not only to be seen as a value creating reliable paper supplier. We aim to build relationships with our customers sustained by understanding and responding to their needs whilst aiming for mutually benefical position always. We also believe that a company is only as strong as its people, thus the proper welfare of our staff is also part mission and part strategic objective. Currently, with the new team led by Femi Obagun, we are determined to not only preserve the legacy left to us, but also expand it by increasing and enforcing our market share and adhering to the old values of integrity, reliability and mutually benefical cooperation. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Nothing makes me more angry on nl than this thread and I can only hope this overrated self serving thread dies a violent death (sia hyperbole )by getting deleted. It has serve its purpose and is worn out. You could argue over the 'superiority' of Yoruba as an ethnic group over other Nigerians, but how does Yorubas compares to other Africans let alone other ethnic groups from other non African countries. Did y'all see the latest report about the educational standard in South West? What about GINI, HDI, growth forecast? These are what matters and not a celebration of a select few. Anyways, Ignorance is a form of slavery. Wisdom begins with an awareness of ignorance. And although it is a fact that education is costly, ignorance is the only thing that is even costlier than education. The sooner Yoruba leaders realise this the better. More than 80% UK A- level students achieved a minimum c+ in all subjects. How does that compares to the average Yoruba students (The future of Yoruba race)? Perspective is needed ladies and gents.

OkutaNla:Firstly, open-mindedness is a virtue. In that vein, I am not sure how my comment showed a conflict of interest or bias. Projecting much? I am aware of the context behind this thread and this doesn't justify the never ending comments being churned out of this thread. It has now gone beyond reinforcement of superiority into a self-serving nonsense. Anyways, the first 100 pages had already dealt the 'much necessary blow' to dispel any myth (from a perspective of Yoruba) projected in the other thread. In the midst of challenges currently being faced by the great Yoruba nation, the energy and the number of comments shows a wrong priority IMO. There are simply more pressing issues that warrant the energies I am currently seeing on this thread. Each to their own I guess.
