It takes decisive stand to come out of the crowd. It takes eloquent determination to create a brand that outshines others in the industry. It takes a mind that thinks out of the box to come up with ideas that stands the test of time. It takes unwavering commitment to execute the best of plans. It takes patience to nurture the best of ideas to fruition and multiplicity. And of course it takes a strong, highly disciplined and focused woman to aggregate all these for time tested and trusted achievements. That woman is Dr. Abiola Bashorun, the Chief Executive Officer of ZL Global Alliance (Nigeria) Limited. She also superintends over Kunden Services Limited. Dr. Bashorun, to say the least, is a brave entrepreneur, whose Midas touch transforms whatever she lays her hands on.

Endowed with beauty, brains and capacity to deliver, Dr. Bashorun’s influence cuts across the length and breadth of professionalism, and it is no surprise that many know her as an exceptionally hard working professional, who is very visionary and result oriented.

Born on May 8, in Lagos, Dr. Bashorun is an MBA holder in International Business Development from the Coventry University, United Kingdom. She is of the class of 2006. This was after obtaining her first degree from a Nigerian university in 1992.

A lover of classic learning with the zeal to go beyond the ordinary, she attended several trainings to keep herself abreast of the industrial world. Some of the prestigious institutions that brushed her up to the high profile standard she has attained today include Barclays Bank, UK, and Citibank. She has also had trainings in diverse areas, some of which are, but not limited to Business Development, Sales and Marketing, Business Ethics, Anti Money Laundering, Relationship Management, Customer Service and Small Business Wealth Management.

Armed with the best of academic tutelage and background, Beebash, as she is fondly called by close friends, colleagues and well wishers, set out to change her world. In between, she has accumulated diverse work experience spanning over 24 years while undertaking extensive job descriptions, cutting across various sectors of the economy.

Dr. Bashorun kicked started her professional career shortly after her university education in Nigeria. In 1993, she was engaged by Nigeria’s foremost rating agency, Agusto and Co. This was a vocal testimony of stuff she was made of. From there, she never looked back as her delivery, involvement and achievements spoke volumes, catapulting her influence beyond her immediate environment.

At the time she left Agusto, she joined Fountain Trust Bank, and subsequently moved to Citibank in 1998. In 2001, she joined Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc as Head, Relationship Management Unit, and was saddled with the responsibility of identifying viable accounts and managing selected customers through aggressive marketing.

Her dexterity in her field made her a toast of many other financial institutions, and she was well sought after. In 2005, she made an international switch, relocating to the United Kingdom to pitch tent with Barclays Bank Walsgrave Triangle, Coventry, UK where she won the 2005 Eagle Award.

Much more endowed on her return from the UK, and with the dictates of finance at her fingertips, she joined the United Bank of Africa Plc, and anchored the Retail Banking Business there, and thereafter worked with Bank PHB Plc, Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Equatorial Trust Bank Ltd, and Access Bank Plc, where she functioned as the Group Head of the Retail Sales and Cards Channels, and is reputed to have functioned for fourteen consecutive years at Senior Management and leadership levels, rising to the position of Assistant General Manager and grew the retail and electronic banking business of the bank.

She also anchored the Retail Banking Business of Ecobank in Northern Nigeria, and established and grew the Premier Banking Model targeted at High Net Worth Individuals at Equatorial Trust Bank.

An unrivalled business development consultant, with valuable experience in business development, strategy formulation and implementation, and organization management, she worked with various institutions to drive business growth and restructuring initiatives.

Like a prolific brand, which she had become, and with her zeal and penchant for breaking new grounds for achievement, she was always in the forefront and on the top list of poachers. Consequently, from Access Bank, she was poached by MasterCard Worldwide to assume duty as the Vice President (Prepaid Products Management) for Sub Saharan Africa. There after, she has supervised several organisations from top rated positions including ZoomLion, Ghana, where she served as head of West African Business Development. It was at ZoomLion that she called it quit with working for others. When she left ZoomLion, she establish her own company, ZL Global Alliance in 2014. The company, in a few years, has grown tremendously in capacity building as well as technology transfer. Bashorun’s Midas touch has been doing wonders. She followed it up with the establishment of another sister company, Kunden Services Limited.

With ZL Global and Kunden Services, Dr. Bashorun has realised a dream of creating a clean, green and healthy environment, and this fuels the passion of pushing the frontiers in the environmental management industry in Africa.

“Our indigenous but yet modern approach to waste management has earned us several consulting roles with a number of states in Nigeria: Ondo, Kaduna, FCT Abuja, Lagos, Edo, Ekiti state amongst others. We can’t also forget the strategic partnerships we have been able to build over the years in our quest to deliver this dream in Nigeria, Africa and beyond (Asthrom Group Isreal, JDP Construction, Dangote Group, Globacom, NIPOST, Indocorp, MasterCard, Ayudate Investment Group, OTO USA, Verve, HOME Biogas, Access Bank, United Bank of Africa, Heritage Bank, Providus Bank, Bank of Industry (BOI) Interswitch, Forte oil, etc. to mention but a few),” she said.

It won’t be a misnomer to say that her sojourn in the labour market, which has seen her magnificently transformed through institutions such as Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom, Citibank of Nigeria, Stanbic IBTC Bank, UBA, Ecobank, Equatorial Trust Bank (ETB), Access Bank and Mastercard Worldwide, has unleashed in her the qualities of an entrepreneurial tigress.

Abiola also serves as the Chairperson for Alafia Foundation, a community focused impact investing organization set up to improve the total well-being of the people in the communities she works in.

Dr. Bashorun’s efforts in entrepreneurial discipline and building businesses have not gone unnoticed, and so has received several recognitions and awards. Her awards are for her innovative contribution to qualitative Waste Management and Environmental Solution initiatives. These include: Africa Quality Order of Merit Award: Presented to her company for being Africa’s Best World Class Quality Waste Management Services Company, which she won in 2018.

She has also been named the recipient of Arewa Media Practitioners ‘Distinguished Leadership Award’: In recognition of her outstanding role and contribution towards national development.

Additionally, she bagged the Chartered Institute of Commerce of Nigeria (CICN) Fellowship Award, presented in recognition of her contribution towards the development of Commerce, Commercial Management, Educational Excellence and Professionalism in Nigeria and Africa at Large.

She has an unwavering passion for youth empowerment, prompting her to create jobs for over 15,000 youths across the country.

She speaks more on her youth empowerment endeavours: “Our youth empowerment scheme encourages young people to take charge of their lives. We address the unemployment situation by providing our youth access to vocational training and other resources. We help them acquire skills that will enable them feed, assist others, and even invest for the future, aiding the nation economically. We didn’t just stop at providing an avenue for youths to learn a skill, we also went ahead to help them secure soft loan via our partnership with Bank of Industry under our CEO DUSTBIN (Sarkin Bola) scheme.”

Her tentacles are also focused on helping people living with disability by designing a programme to provide people living with disability access to employment and empowerment. The initiative earned the firm recognition with DFID USA as one of the few companies that have people with Disabilities as staff members.

She has managed to introduce highly effective “Waste to Cash Initiative”, which is aimed at engaging youths and encouraging entrepreneurship among citizens. This initiative also helps imbibe the culture of effective waste management from source, thereby drastically reducing the cost and effort of waste management in the state.

She is a success in every ramification, and has grown businesses in Electronic Payments, Waste Management, Digital Prints & Technology, Waste Recycling, Healthcare and Diagnostics, Youth Empowerment, Talent Management among others.

Bashorun is not only seasoned in business development and professional banking but immensely dynamic in the execution of innovative ideas and strategies. Often described as committed, fiercely loyal, hardworking, great team player, smart and an effective organizer, she has surpassed expected performance with a consistent record of achievements.

On a general scale, Bashorun’s scope of services include but not limited to Solid waste Management, Dumpsite/Land fill Management, Revenue Collection, Recycling and Material Recovery, Fleet Management, Waste Containerization, Vegetation Control, Decontamination / Fumigation services and Training services.

Using her companies, Dr. Bashorun was almost everywhere during the COVID-19 pandemic, protecting lives and property as a core objective of their organization.

In Ondo State, she spearheaded the decontamination of all secondary schools across the state as well as all the markets, motor parks, Court Formations (High courts, customary court, Magistrate courts, etc.), Government MDA’s, Government House, Governor’s Office, INEC office (Akure), 32 Artillery Army Barracks, Airport (Akure) and other public facilities across the state. Her efforts earned her a place on the Special Committee for COVID 19 in Ondo State, and also a partnership with the Ondo State Government and the Ministry of Environment to set up a rapid COVID 19 test hub in the state capital. This testing center ensures the testing and the swift treatment of confirmed COVID 19 cases in the State.

An icon of cleanliness is next to godliness, Bashorun has introduced unique concept of Waste Management as a Revenue Generation Tool, by the integrated use of electronic payment channels like Cards, USSD, Quick teller, Mobile Payment, etc. A significant innovation in this respect is the introduction of the uniquely customized “KADA Card” (Kaduna State) and “Ise Logun Ise Card” (Ondo State), to enhance revenue payment by citizens.

Dr. Bashorun’s credibility as a professional is extended to her home front, where she is an excellent homemaker, giving the desired succour, care and attention to her immediate family members, her tight professional schedule not withstanding.

Nkem ‘Osuofia’ Owoh: When a Legend Turns 70

By Eric Elezuo

Who could have imagined that standing in for someone to play the role of a drunkard in one of the major Nigeria sitcoms in the 1980s, The New Masquerade, would be the pedestal one of Nigeria’s funniest men, Nkem ‘Osuofia’ Owo, needed to launch big time into the world of acting, theater and entertainment. Ever since, the prolific actor has not looked back, but has broken barriers, smashed records, and has continued to be relevant even as he joined the septugerians’ club. Yes, drums are rolled out to celebrate Osuofia at 70.

Born in Enugu State, on February 7, 1955, Nkem Owoh, better known by his screen alias, Osuofia, has come of age in every facet of existence including merchandise, family and entertainment.

A graduate of Engineering from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Osuofia had both his primary and secondary education in Nsukka, also in Enugu State. Reports have it that his acting became noticeable at early age, and during his primary and secondary days, before getting better polished and manifested during his university days, from where he graduated to acting in various television and film productions, including writing scripts.

Although he studied Engineering, his heart belonged to creative expression through acting, writing, and singing. After completing his National Youth Service Cirps scheme, he joined WACO Engineering but left after just one year, finding leverage in opportunities to explore radio and television productions.

The Wikipedia presents more of his trajectory as follows:

In 1979, he embarked on his journey in the entertainment industry, starting as a writer at Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). He further established his writing credentials by penning scripts for notable productions, such as: The New Masquerade and Basi and Company (a sitcom created by Ken Saro-Wiwa). He also once filled in for an absent actor, playing the role of a drunkard in the groundbreaking sitcom The New Masquerade. This unexpected opportunity launched his successful career.

However, Owoh ventured into the movie scene when he was contracted to handle the subtitling for the Igbo language movie Living in Bondage upon its completion. Following the success of Living in Bondage, acting opportunities began to flood in. A year later, he landed his next significant role as a customs officer in the Igbo language movie Circle of Doom. His good performance announced his arrival on the scene, captivating producers, who not only sought him for his acting talent but also valued his scriptwriting skills.

Following Circle of Doom, he landed his third film role in Taboo which he co-scripted.

In 1995, Owoh wrote and produced the iconic film Ikuku, where he portrayed the unforgettable character, Osuofia (a drunk). His portrayal of Osuofia in the movie earned him widespread recognition, transforming him into a beloved household name. In 1997, he produced Ikuku 2 a sequel to the first movie, where he reprised his role as a drunkard. He also produced Pampam the same year, teaming up with Okey Bakassi.

The character Osuofia was once again brought to life by Nkem Owoh in Osuofia in London (2003) and its sequel Osuofia in London 2 (2004), produced by Kingsley Ogoro. His appearance in this movie earned him international recognition and also his nickname. This breakthrough paved the way for a lasting career, with continuous screen appearances from then on.

Owoh is also known for performing the song “I Go Chop Your Dollar” about advance fee fraud. The song was featured in the film The Master in which Owoh plays the role of a scammer.

Hw had had his own ups and downs in the business as well as in life. It is noted that the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission banned the song, citing it was promoting fraud. Also in 2007, he was arrested in Amsterdam, Netherlands while performing at a musical show, but was later released.

In November 2009, he was kidnapped, and a ransom N15 million naira was demanded. He was said to have been released after his family members allegedly paid a ransom fee of 1.4 million naira.

In 1998, he married his wife, Ngozi Nkem Owoh, from Amagu Village, Udi Town, who she still lives with. They were blessed with two daughters, before the cold hands of death snatched one in June 2023.

For his great efforts in the industry, Osuofia is not new to awards. In 2008, he received the prestigious Africa Movie Academy Award (AMAA) for “Best Actor in a Leading Role” for his outstanding performance in the film Stronger than Pain.

In 2017, at the 13th edition, he was honored with the prestigious Africa Movie Academy Award (AMAA) Lifetime Achievement Award.

In2012, he partnered with MTN for a multimillion-naira endorsement deal that has been repeatedly renewed.

Osuofia remains a known face to many generations of movie watchers, as well as a formidable force in the Nigeria film industry. He is a legend, having contributed more than enough to spreading in homes.

Happy 70th birthday sir…!

What looks like the entire Rivers State was out last week, precisely on January 28, 2025, to celebrate their Governor, Sir Amaopusenibo Siminalayi Fubara, as he hit the golden age.

Leading the charge of celebrations and encomiums, was his amiable wife, Lady Valerie Fubara, who organized a surprised party for the governor, with the who’s who in Rivers State government and Peoples Democratic Party present, including former Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Uche Secondus; Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Victor Oko-Jumbo; and a former governor, Sir Celestine Omehia.

Superbly attired, and defeating the surprised undertone, a very elated Fubara walked side by side with his water as the entered the open venue event, with aides, we’ll wishers and staff tagging joyously along.

Speaking straight from the heart, Governor Fubara, who fought and is still fighting many battles of his political life just 20 months after becoming governor, expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, “This morning I feel so humbled. I have been swept off my feet. Sincerely, all my life I have never subscribed to celebrating birthdays, particularly in this way. What has been done this morning, in conjunction with my wife, shows so much love and appreciation that honestly, I do not know how to pay back.”

In one moment of intense joy, the celebrant, assisted by his dear wife, performed the ceremonial cutting of the birthday cake, much to the delight of their guests. The laughter and the camaraderie that followed was a joy to behold.

The scene appeared to wipe clean all the political turmoil that has trailed the governor and Rivers State in 20 short months.
