Walmart Coming to Lagos Nigeria

Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has assured a delegation of Walmart Incorporated that the state is ready to give necessary support to assist the firm in establishing its presence in the state.


The delegation of the firm, a leading global brand in retail supermarket, was led by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Walmart Europe, Middle East, Africa and Canada, Shelley Broade, on Thursday.


Ambode said the presence of the Walmart brand in Lagos would go a long way not only to create jobs for the teeming youths, but also boost the economy of the state.


He said the success story of the brand, which currently operates in 28 countries with over 2.2 million employees, would be beneficial to the growth of the state as well as his vision to make life comfortable for residents.


The governor said, “That summaries the reason why Walmart has to berth in Lagos. We are committed to expanding the business scope for Walmart and like I said, I am interested in having your brand signature in Lagos.



“You have been pro-people and that’s why we find a congress between the objectives of Walmart and Lagos State Government.


“As we speak, we have a population of over 21 million people and four million of that population are in the middle class. We have a bulging youth that is craving for employment and whatever it is that we do, we want to make sure that we attract as much investment to Lagos that can help us to take our youths off the streets and give them employment.


“What I stand here to offer is the commitment to make the investment climate favourable to investors. We want to ensure that whatever it is that would make the business bigger for you, we are committed to it.”


“I want to assure you that if it is in the area of land permits or authorisation for issues that relate to setting up business, we are committed to making sure that we fast-track and do it as transparent as possible to allow more businesses to come to Lagos.”


opportunities that abound in the state, adding that the Group was ready to expand its business horizon and create jobs for the people.


She said, “We are incredibly excited and proud to be in this exciting state of Lagos. Just looking at the burgeoning economy and at the growth in this market is very exciting and now Walmart operates around the world in 28 countries and our mission is to lower the cost of living, to help people save and live better.


“The passion that you feel right when you land at the airport, there’s an excitement here. You can feel that this is a state within a country really on the move forward. There is a smile on the people’s faces; there is eagerness and there’s a mission that they are on to better themselves and their families. It’s very exciting.”

Gisele disguise to paris for plastic surgery

These photos show former supermodel Gisele Bündchen donning a burqa in an unsuccessful bid to evade the paparazzi as she checked into a famous plastic surgery clinic in Paris earlier this month.

In the images, Bündchen and her younger sister, Rafaela, are pictured stepping out of a black Mercedes outside Clinique du Parc Monceau on July 15 dressed in the traditional Muslim wear.

Thanks to the head-to-toe black garment, the only features of the recently-retired supermodel that are visible are her feet. But her identity is given away by the presence of her longtime chauffeur.

Just a day before the driver dropped off the two women at the clinic, Bündchen - who reportedly got plastic surgery at the facility - was seen elsewhere in Paris with her chauffeur of at least five years.

The sisters also clearly did not do their research on the Muslim culture, as they are both wearing open-toed sandals in the photos - something strict Muslim women are prohibited from wearing.

bobbi Kristina Brown has died aged 22 six months after she was found unconscious in a bathtub.

The aspiring singer was rushed to hospital and placed in a medically-induced coma on January 31 after she was discovered face-down in the water-filled tub at her townhouse in Roswell, Georgia.

She passed away, surrounded by her family, at the hospice on Sunday - just three years after her famous mother, singer Whitney Houston, died aged 48 in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills.

The Houston family said on Sunday night that Bobbi Kristina 'is finally at peace in the arms of God.'

In a statement via a representative, they said: 'Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.'

In the final few weeks of her life, Bobbi Kristina's family members had made the difficult decision to withdraw her medication after being told by specialists that there was no hope of her recovery.

At present, it is unclear at what time Bobbi Kristina slipped away.
