We Will Ensure ‘Made In Nigeria’ Products Are Available In Paris, England, Others– Firm

The campaign for Nigerians to patronize home-made products has taken another dimension as Collins Oscar and other co-founders are opening a company where foreign goods are prohibited.

The new company which will be launched in September is strictly made for Nigerian products.

Just Like what is obtainable with Made-In-China.com, an aggregator of solely Chinese products, the Akwa Ibom based company is carving a niche in the Nigerian space.

Collins Oscar the Chief Executive Officer and ten others first founded a company, Made In Akwa Ibom Showroom four years ago in Akwa Ibom State.

After successful running of Made In Akwa Ibom, Oscar is now eyeing a bigger market which will only sell made in Nigerian products from Aba and Lagos among others.

Made In Akwa Ibom
In most mega shops in Nigeria, a large amount of the products are usually imported. The smaller shops are not left out in the penchant for foreign goods.

To reduce Nigeria’s foreign trade deficits, the Federal Government has launched an aggressive campaign for the patronage and use of made-in Nigeria products and services.

At the 13th National Council of Industry, Trade and Investment, the campaign for the patronage and use of made-in-Nigeria products and services was unveiled.

In April, the government called on Nigerians to promote the diversification of the economy patronizing on our local production sectors.

Oscar who controls over 80 per cent stake in the new company ‘Made In Nigeria Showroom’ said in chat with THE WHISTLER, that the company conceived as a result of the limitations of selling only products from Akwa Ibom State.

The CEO said, “It is a marketplace where we sell only made in Nigeria Products. We started with Made in Akwa Ibom products for four years. Made in Nigeria is part of our expansion plan so that we will not be running out of options when customers ask for other products and we do not have because it is limited to made in Akwa Ibom.

“The made in Akwa Ibom and Made in Nigeria will function as two separate businesses.

“Right from when we started Made in Akwa Ibom products, the impact is to promote only indigenous products, so, it’s been resonating with us. Just promoting locally made products, I know what we have been suffering doing made in Akwa Ibom and it has become big and we were rejecting products from Abia State, Lagos State as though it is not one Nigeria.”

One of the challenges Made In Nigeria will face is the big competitors like Marketsquare that sells both Nigeria and foreign products, but the founder said Nigerians’ taste for local products have changed.

The CEO said when they first founded Made In Akwa Ibom, many Nigerians did not believe they would be able to survive the highly competitive environment.

Oscar said, “Even before I started Made in Akwa Ibom, people asked how we will survive. Although we never saw it that way because passion can blind you from seeing a whole lot of things, we never saw any limitation. Some said Made in Akwa Ibom will be limited and we will be losing out.

“Our rent alone in running Made in Akwa Ibom per annum was N11 million. So, they wondered how we will survive when people may come in with like N100,000 and can’t find, pampers or what they want.

“But honestly, Made in Akwa Ibom has been able to give birth to Made in Nigeria, which means it has been successful even with some serious limitations. So, people still pay their way very far because of the niche we have carved for ourselves. They know the things there are so natural and have no chemical preservatives. There are people who are so patriotic and can go a long distance to buy made in Nigeria products. For me I prefer using made in Nigeria products. From my experience, Nigerians’ appetite for made in Nigeria products have increased.”

According to the entrepreneur, his target is to expand to other Nigerian states and the European market.

He added, “So that when you find yourself in Paris, England, India and the rest, you can walk into shops and find Made in Nigeria products.”

PDP NEC To Decide Ayu’s Ouster Today As Caucus Failed To Sanction Removal

The meeting of the National Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, failed to agree on the ouster of its beleaguered National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu after its meeting that ran till early morning of Thursday.

The large meeting which was attended by highly placed members of the party is very influential as it sets the tone for what takes effect in the party.

Those who attended the late night meeting were the Deputy National Chairman, Bode George; Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the party, Nnamadi Sambo, former Vice President; Ayu, Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Walid Jibrin and former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara.

There were also former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido; deputy governors of Edo and Adamawa states, Philip Shaibu and Kalatepwa Farauta; former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi; former Minister of Police Affairs, Maina Waziri; Governor of Sokoto, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed.

Also in the meeting were the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Debo Ologunagba; Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu; former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha; and Stella Omu, among others.

The host governor, Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, failed to attend the meeting which held at the Akwa Ibom State Governors Lodge but his deputy attended.

Conspicuously missing were the governors loyal to Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, including Wike himself, Sheyi Makinde of Oyo State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, and the governor of Taraba State, Daruus Ishiaku.

It was not clear why the governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, who was in town failed to attend the meeting but instead sent his deputy to represent him. The deputy governors of Edo and Benue represented their governors.

It was gathered the Caucus could not agree on the fate of Ayu, who was in attendance as it tactically shifted the decision to NEC, which holds later today.

But speaking after the meeting, Ologunagba said the issue of Ayu’s ouster was never discussed.

“We are ready to go. Members of the campaign council will be announced on Thursday (today), after the NEC meeting,” he said.

Explaining why most of the governors failed to attend the caucus meeting, Ologunagba added, “Some of them were on holiday, outside the country. They were represented by their deputies.”

It was gathered the plot to remove Ayu has divided the party into North and South.

The South, which is being spearhead by the Wike camp is allegedly led by Deputy National Chairman (South), Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja.

At its meeting at his residence last night, Arapaja group of the National Working Committee of the party, insisted that Ayu must go.

Protesters allegedly sponsored by his camp were seen with placards saying, ‘Ayu Must Go’, at the venue of the National Caucus meeting in the night.

The Arapaja’s group was countered by the Northern group led by the Deputy National Chairman (North), Umar Damagum. His group has also prefected plans to protect Ayu at today’s NEC meeting.

At the coming NEC meeting, it’s gathered two items will be listed for discussion, Ayu’s fate and composition of the party’s presidential campaign council as the start of campaign is less than 20 days away.

Wike, supported by loyal governors and highly placed members of the party and strong stakeholders, has insisted Ayu must go and is prepared to sponsor a vote of no confidence on him at the NEC meeting today.

He has said Ayu’s compromising leadership style by pandering to Atiku during the party’s presidential election and the entire headship of the party leadership positions can not work unless the party is ready to accept defeat in 2023 elections.

2023: One Million Lagosians Abandon PVCs Across INEC Offices – REC

Nearly one million permanent voter cards belonging to Lagos State residents have been abandoned across offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.

Olusegun Agbaje, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, disclosed this at a CSO engagement titled “Women’s Political Participation and Inclusion and 2023 General Elections”.

The event which was held on Wednesday in Lagos was jointly organized by the Nigerian Women Trust Fund (NWTF), the EU-Support Democratic Governance in Nigeria (EU-SDGN), and INEC.

Agbaje, while decrying the huge number of abandoned PVCs in Lagos, said old uncollected voter cards were 928,362 while new ones stood at 21,352 as of September 5, 2022.

“Permanent Voter Card (PVC) is the sole instrument required from the Voter to participate in an election, it is an important eligibility instrument for voting without which no citizen would be allowed to partake in an election.

“However, the total number of uncollected old PVCs in the state is 928,362 as of 5th Sept. 5, no doubt, the uncollected PVCs for women may be in the neighborhood of 436,451 (47 percent).

“Meanwhile, the total number of uncollected New PVCs is 21,352 out of 34,242 received PVCs, while the rest of the new PVCs for the 2021/22 registration exercise is being awaited.

“The implication of this is that the commission is having a staggering number of PVCs that should be collected by the women and other eligible voters to enable them massively participate in the forthcoming 2033 general elections,” Agbaje said.

He urged stakeholders such as the Nigerian Women Trust Fund under the Gender Election Watch (GEW) to help ensure the PVCs are collected before the 2023 elections.

Agbaje expressed worry over the low number of women flag-bearers in the forthcoming general elections.

“We have fewer women than men going for elective positions (in 2023). It is not too good, we have to continue to improve through this kind of engagement so that in future elections, we will have more women coming out for elective positions,” he added.

Agbaje added that the just-concluded Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) captured 12,298,944 out of which a total of 6,224,866 were female while male registrants were 6,074,078.

‘What A Shameful Thing To Celebrate’ — Abia Citizens Not Excited About Flyover That Took Gov Ikpeazu 5 Years To Build

Not many people are impressed by what some consider a feat by Abia Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration: the completion of the Osisioma flyover bridge which commenced six years ago (2017).

The bridge, now named ‘Okezuo Abia Flyover’, was commissioned by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Monday. Governor Wike also commissioned the Aba-Owerri road during his visit.

The Osisioma flyover is said to be the first-ever flyover to be built in Abia since the state was created 31 years ago.

Governor Ikpeazu described it as “a premier flyover” and that he feels “a personal sense of fulfillment” about delivering the bridge to citizens of the state.

I have a personal sense of fulfillment on the occasion of the official commissioning of our premier flyover because it has solved a major grid lock challenge on that axis of our commercial city. It also has capacity to further enable trade & commerce!

Wike, after the commissioning, said in a Facebook post: “I thank my brother and friend H.E Victor Okezie Ikpeazu for affording me the honour of commissioning the first Flyover ever built in Abia State. I also salute his commitment and courage to build solutions to the traffic problems of his state and embark on this project despite the limited resources available to his state.”

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, visits Abia to commission the Osisioma flyover bridge.
Two prominent Abia politicians — Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and Samuel Ohuabunwa — were also excited about the completion of the flyover bridge.

Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of Senate, said: “I congratulate Governor Okezie Ikpeazu on the commissioning of the Osisioma Flyover by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
“The governor has done well on this and we must commend him. However, like Oliver Twist, we urge him to do more and also extend it to other senatorial districts,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

Ohuabunwa also remarked in a Facebook post: “May Good things happen to Abia. Congratulations Ndi Abia. Congratulations OVI.”

However, some Abia natives believe there’s nothing worthy of celebration about the flyover bridge, especially when compared to what other South Eastern states have achieved.

“What a shameful thing to celebrate. Disgusting. Even coming (from) an elder of the state like you,” one Akanu Ujah Agwu, a native of Abiriba in Abia, berated Ohuabunwa for commending Governor Ikpeazu over the flyover.

A Twitter user, Valiant Samson Idowu-Alaba (@ValiantNig), said “Ikpeazu completes Abia’s first ever flyover, popularly called ‘Center Table’ by Abians after seven years; meanwhile Umahi has 23 already within the same timeframe!”Below are some of the reactions on Twitter:

UK Prime Minister: How Primate Ayodele Foretold Rishi Sunak’s Loss To Liz Truss

After a drawn-out contest, the country’s ruling Conservative Party on Monday picked Liz Truss to be its new leader and the U.K.’s new prime minister.

Truss, until now the U.K.’s foreign minister, beat rival Rishi Sunak, the country’s former finance minister, to win the leadership race.

Following this development, it is important to note that the prophecy of famous Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele obviously played out especially with the loss of Rishi Sunak who started out as a prospective replacement for Boris Johnson.

Primate Ayodele had stated that God wants Rishi Sunak to become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom because he will make efforts to stabilize the UK economy. The man of God also stated that He has been ordained to take over the baton from Boris Johnson but warned him against some moves that will jeopardize his chances.

Primate Ayodele warned him to immediately re-arrange himself otherwise, he will lose out in the election.

These were his words

’’Rishi Sunak should buckle up because he will lose support if he doesn’t manage his words well. He should re-arrange himself technically, politically and economically so that he won’t face disappointment. His ambition of becoming the next PM of the UK is threatened by the gang up of “insider group” in the Conservative Party. Much more than his public popularity, he needs to strategise to attract support from “the powers that be” for his emergence to be sealed.’’

‘’His opponent, Liz Truss, is about to take the lead if he doesn’t listen to God’s instruction. God wants him to be the next prime minister of the United Kingdom but he has a role to play.’’ (https://independent.ng/primate-ayodele-warns-rishi-sunak-on-his-ambition-to-become-next-uk-prime-minister/)

As the man of God warned, there seemed to be a gang-up against the victory of Rishi Sunak and this, according to sources, was due to the fact that Sunak started the actions that led to the call for Boris Johnson’s resignation.

Primate Ayodele also asked him to manage his words before the election. Sunak had vowed to cut taxes if he emerged as the new prime minister; meanwhile, he raised taxes to the highest level when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2020 to 2022. His words were not trusted by the electorates and this contributed to his loss because he was not able to re-address as Primate Ayodele advised him.

Rishi Sunak was destined to be the UK Prime minister but as Primate Ayodele revealed, he has roles to play before that can happen. The question is did he play those roles? No, and this led to his loss to Lizz Truss, fulfilling Primate Ayodele’s prophecy.

It would be recalled that Primate Ayodele foretold the emergence of Boris Johnson as the PM of the United Kingdom and also foretold his resignation in his 2022 prophecies which was released on Wednesday, 22nd Of December, 2021.

Lagos: Tinubu Denies Ownership Of Oriental Hotel, Other Assets

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has distanced himself from some properties linked to him in Lagos State.
The former Governor of Lagos State denied ownership of some properties in the state which include the Oriental Hotel and Civic Center.

Tinubu revealed this in a documentary where he spoke about his achievements as the governor of Lagos State.

The presidential candidate in an excerpt of the documentary posted by the media aide to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Jubril Gaw on his Twitter account said the entire Lekki environs was a refuse dump that took months to clear.

Oriental Hotel was linked to Tinubu in 2020 after hoodlums destroyed the facility on the ground that the property belongs to the presidential candidate.

Hoodlums had targeted some properties of Tinubu after the Lekki tollgate shooting, during the ENDSARS protest.

The media house linked to Tinubu, the Nation newspaper, Television Continental (TVC) and Max Radio were destroyed.

The attack on Oriental Hotel prompted the owners of the facility, to release a statement which distanced Tinubu from the property.

The executive director of Western Metal Product Company (WEMCO), Taiwo Ali, revealed that the company owns 99 per cent of the shares of the hotel.

Speaking in the documentary, Tinubu said he brought private investors to Lagos State, adding that where the Civil Center and Oriental Hotel are used to be refused dump.

Tinubu disclosed that it took months and investments by the investors to transform the area.

He further stated, “the majority of those assets they claim are mine are not mine.

“I created an economic and recovery path for Lagos. No state can brag of the exponential development that is going on in the Lekki Corridor.”

Despite Packing 100 Outfits For BBNaija, Diana Evicted Alongside Deji, Giddyfia In 6th Week

Big Brother Naija ‘Level Up’ housemates Deji, Diana, and Giddyfia have been evicted from the reality TV show.

Diana and Giddyfia who spent 43 days in Big Brother Naija’s house were evicted after securing the lowest votes from viewers.

While Deji, one of the fake housemates, stayed only 36 days.

Their eviction came 6 days after one of the housemates, Amaka, was evicted.

The host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, announced their removal during the live eviction show on Sunday.

During the Eviction Diary Session, Diana told Big Brother that the session was mentally beneficial and prepares housemates for possible eviction.

“I packed 100 outfits for the Big Brother show. So, every time (weekly live evictions) I have many things to pack,” Diana complained, “but I prepare by packing, eating, and getting dressed up so I can look good for you, Ebuka and the viewers,” she said.

One of the evicted housemates, Giddyfia, 24, came into Biggie’s house and immediately became the funny guy.

Last week after Amaka was evicted from the show, Big Brother told the housemates that they were all up for possible eviction except for the Head of House, Dotun, and the riders Rachel and Chizzy.
