BRAND INSPECTOR

1. You have spent a lot on your building project, you have used the best personnel with the best and expensive materials; don’t settle for less when it comes to the finishing phase which is the cleaning project. Never ask your bricklayer, tiler, painter or security guards to mobilize random guys to clean for you. Hire a professional or else you will spend more to fix your materials if they get damaged. 2. Consider the security of your property/facility. At times, those you hire to clean for you may connive with your guards and others to burgle your house. You need to be very careful when selecting the cleaning company to handle your cleaning project. 3. Do you know the credibility of the company that wants to handle your cleaning project? Check online, ask around, make your findings, don’t just depend on testimonies or content on their website. I can personally recommend Afterlife Cleaning Services www.afterlifecleaning.com 08180458852 or Splendeed Cleaning 0817028...

Hello Nigeria, This article came up as a result of my experience using FCMB internet banking for over 3 years. I have a corporate account (business version) with FCMB and before you can use FCMB internet banking platform, you are obligated to use either a soft or hardware token. Also, take note that as a business account customer, you are exempted from using the popular USSD service for your transactions. Some months ago, something strange happened to my hardware token, I noticed that it still generates the usual numbers but the numbers that it generates are proven invalid by the platform. So, I reported to the customer care unit of my branch and I was asked to write a letter with my company’s letterhead and do some bla bla bla before I could get on. I got back to work that day feeling so disappointed with some loopholes in our banking system in Nigeria. Then I started considering using a better alternative. Not so long, I discovered Quickteller. Hence, this article is m...

Some weeks ago Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder revealed in his presentation at F8 Conference that Facebook is set to move into web shops where customers can browse a store’s product and make purchases. With this, they are moving beyond the idea of Facebook being an advertising model to an eCommerce platform. This development would enable the brand to rival with big brands such as Amazon, Alibaba, Wechat, Aliexpress, etc. As for me, eCommerce is not the next big thing for Facebook now, the competition is tight. It could be a great idea but implemented at the wrong time. This piece is my way of showing Zuckerberg and his team a better way to go. Who knows, if this idea is fully implemented, I may be selected by Zuckerberg’s team to help lead a strategic and business development team in Africa. Kindly help share this till it gets to Mark Zuckerberg, Sheyl Sanberg, Mac Andreessen, Erskine Bowles, Susan Desmond-Hellman, Donald Graham, Reed Hastings or Peter Thiel at 1 Hacker Way,...

Nigeria, here are our longest surviving indigenous brands Before compiling this list, I had thought of getting many brands on the list. I tried generating data through a survey, personal research by surfing the web and open inquiry from contacts in different sectors of the economy. After all efforts exerted into this task, I realized that there are only a few brands that can make this list. Did you just ask why? So did I. Out of millions of brands in Nigeria today, it is a pity that only a few brands can meet the criteria of being on the list. I believe that for a brand to be described as long-serving, it must have stood the test of time. Such a brand must be from a privately owned firm and it must have been in existence for over fifty years and still relevant till date. Also, the quality, reach and credibility of such brand are expected to be maintained and sustained till this very moment. Here are the top 5 brands that meet the requirements of being on this list: (1) Bra...

I tried paying for my DSTV subscription online last weekend and I discovered that a particular channel was not open for me to view. I knew my subscription automatically gives me access to watch the channel but it just couldn't come up. So, I had to call Multichoice customer care agent to help out. While attending to something else, I asked my cousin to help look out for DSTV customer care contact details, so as usual he tried "Googling it" and he stumbled on these: On dialing the first number, True Caller revealed the name as DSTV Scammer. The line rang severally but nobody answered the call. Then I tried the next one...this one does not have any information on True Caller but this scammer seems to be ready for business. He quickly answered the call and got my complaint, then he told me that I am not the first to call with same complaint. He said it is weekend so they are experiencing some challenges with their network. He later said that since I made payme...
