Follow @NigeriaPI While some business managers are complaining of depreciating profits, inability to repay loans and declining demand for their products and services, others are smiling to the bank on a regular basis. In some cases, business managers have experienced both booming and declining business returns at different times. In order to remain competitive, experts advise entrepreneurs to show determination for success by coming up with new strategies. Increase your marketing expertise To be on a par with leading professionals in a chosen venture, experts advise that competency has to be built. According to the Managing Director, Bandel Enterprise, Mrs. Joke Olawale, a business manager should be knowledgeable in all areas of business management. “In marketing, the use of targeted messages and a combination of marketing techniques have a wider reach than limiting yourself to one method. The way messages are crafted in business promotion also plays a huge role,” she says. According to her, every business is expected to solve people’s problems; as such, understanding how different categories of customers perceive their problems will help define your messages more clearly. Olawale adds that proper understanding of their individual behaviour will help in deciding the right marketing techniques to use in reaching them. In dealing with the supply chain, she suggests upgrading the system with advanced technology such as warehouse automation systems to improve efficiencies and minimise costs and inaccuracies. She adds that important parts in the distribution network should be synchronised. Olawale encourages the use of tactics that will integrate warehouses, production facilities, customers, location, volume and roles of suppliers. According to her, the overall goal of improved...

A top member of the NPCC told our correspondent on Sunday that the preliminary issues would be completed soon and the Federal Government’s special teams of prosecutors would start filing charges against some of the ex-governors. The PUNCH gathered that various anti-graft agencies and other law enforcement bodies with prosecutorial powers had since complied with the directive issued by the AGF in August, asking them to remit the duplicate files of the high profile cases they were handling to the NPCC. Earlier, The PUNCH had reported on July 28 that the AGF had written to both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, calling for the duplicate files of the alleged corruption cases involving some named 31 ex-governors. A source, familiar with the ongoing review of the cases, said, “You will recall that before the NPCC began work, the AGF had written to the EFCC and ICPC, asking them to remit the duplicate files of 31 ex-governors and some other politically-exposed persons to his office. “While the anti-corruption agencies had yet to respond, the AGF again asked the various agencies...

Follow @NigeriaPI A woman who has maggots dropping continuously from her private parts thrilled residents of Olakula area of Idiroko in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State on Wednesday. The scene turned chaotic as residents trooped out to see the woman, identified as Iya Toheeb, who sat in a car with the assistance of family members and sympathisers, The Nation reports. It was thought that she might have been a victim of money-making ritual after her condition allegedly defied orthodox medication. The woman was also brought to one of the men she was associated with, a carpenter in the community. Of the reason for bringing the afflicted woman to the man, a source at the scene who asked not to be named, said: “The woman was brought to the carpenter who was her former husband. Her family members believed that the man may be responsible for her worsening condition that defied treatment in hospital where she was admitted for months. Doctors were said to have advised her relatives to seek alternative medicine to her ill-health because it had gone beyond the purview of orthodox medicine.” Another source, who did not want her name in print, told The Nation: “The woman had dated different men in the past and it is believed that she may have been used for money-making ritual going by what we heard from those who know her. “She has no wound in her private part yet maggots keep dropping from her sexual organ and that sends a signal that there is more to her problem than meets the eye, particularly since doctors have asked her...

Follow @NigeriaPI A 36-year-old father of three, identified as Mr. Itorobong Iyang, told journalists yesterday that he was sex starved and drunk when he defiled his eight-year-old neighbour’s daughter. Iyang, who lives on Oyo Road at Ajegunle area of Lagos, said he had been separated from his wife for a while. While being paraded yesterday at the state Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, he said: “I had just taken ‘hot drink’ (alcoholic drink) and was tipsy. So I decided to cook, when some of my neighbour’s children came over to my place to play. After they left, I went to sleep. While I was sleeping I heard the little girl’s voice calling me. So I woke and found my neighbour’s daughter in my room. I decided to play with her. While playing with her, I told her to pull off her pants and she did without hesitation. I also asked her to insert my penis into her private part; she did and started rubbing it. What surprised me the most was that she did not cry and did not say she was in pains.” Iyang stated that he was still in the act when the girl’s mother called out for her, when she noticed that she was not outside with her playmates. When he had the girl’s name, he pulled out and quickly dressed up and the girl left to answer her mother. But owing to her mother’s suspicion, she asked her daughter what she was doing in Inyang’s house and the girl, out of sheer innocence, confessed to her mother what transpired. The mother then invited the police who...
