BRAND INSPECTOR

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.

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...

Take a look at these pictures, this is the new Lagos for real, if care is not taken, our dream of making Lagos state a smart metropolitan city may soon become a fantasy. Almost everywhere is dirty; both mainland and Island, you don’t have to move too far before you start perceiving the stench of refuse pilled up at street corners, corridors, roadside and just anywhere. Where did we get it wrong? Sometime in July 2017, the Lagos state government restricted the 350 indigenous Incorporated Trustees Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria popularly called PSP (Private Sector Participation) operators in partnership with LAWMA from conducting their usual waste management business in Lagos, then the project handled by 350 operators was officially handed over to Visionscape Sanitation Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of Visionscape Group (a multinational company) and ABC Solutions Limited. What this simply means is that the Lagos state government bluntly shut down the ...

"We never appreciate how significant we are until our significance becomes insignificant"                                                                                                      --Sir Kurlarday, 1759. Our main focus today is on a Nigerian brand which has endured the test of time. When other businesses in Nigeria sprout and fade away with many excuses ranging from bad economy, poor leadership, lack of capital, erratic power supply, bad road, etc. ALABUKUN has survived a...
