Dear my friends,
I came across Alibaba in 2005, when the apparently for African business people especially those from Nigeria was very high. I felt the world out there, especially those in alibaba did not have a full picture of who we really are. I soon became a crusader for that cause, which brought me some friends and enemies as well in Alibaba.
My joy is that there has been a considerable change in how we are seen and that has been my greatest joy in Alibaba. I have met some really great people who are like minded and that have endeared the forums to me.
I am originally from the Delta region of Nigeria. I live and do business in Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria. I am a Lawyer (legal practitioner) by profession. I have been into international trade for about eight years. I run a chain of companies with my wife, which includes ELMOK VENTURES, ALPHOMEG CONSULT, ETTA DECOR, EL &L CONSULT. We are into a lot of services which include Product promotion, wholesale and retail, Inter Decoration, Estate Development and management (Real) among other things.
I have traveled to a number of countries all over the world in the cause of my business, and have come to the conclusion that a book should never be judged by the cover, we all need each other, no matter the race, color or status in life.
There might be some bad eggs among us, but lets live and let live.

Having known you for some time now, I have a rather trivial question: what's that building where you are?

Replying to [Admin]: I will like to say a big thank-you! to Admin. and every sincere member of the Alibaba Family, i do love to call it a Family because of the peculiarity of everyone of us in this community. The trust we have come to share by just meeting here is so beautiful, and the closeness with which a lot of us relate can only be said to be humbling.
To my great friend like Armila, Adimec/Germex and all of you out there who have made the community worth sticking around for, I want you to know that you are highly appreciated.
For those who are still trying to cross the hurdle of still trying to know if Africa is a good market, I like for you to know that its something in the past and we are now in the future. All the same I am always around to lend a helping hand where it is needed, In case you are trying to do business around here and will need some advice or help.
For my friend who wanted to know how you can get on the spotlight, I think that is left for Admin. to consider, and they have surely seen your question which I believe they will consider, if they think it is your time. I think they say ''GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT''.
Much love to all of you out there, and lets all get together to make our world a better place to live in, It really has to start with us![[em19]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_great.gif)
