TD, reliable Nigerian brand says Peter Obi - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:

A business magnate and former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has hailed Technology Distributions Limited (TD Africa) as an organization built on integrity and sound credentials, reports ITREALMS.

He gave this commendation at the Celebrating You 2019, an annual year-end dinner/awards party organized by Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products distributors, TD.

The event, arguably the most eagerly-awaited celebratory event in the Nigerian ICT ecosystem, was held on Sunday December 8th 2019 at the prestigious Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

On an annual basis, Celebrating You focuses on sharing deep insights with attendees on diverse areas of the economy. The 2019 edition was not different as Obi proved a fitting resource person who drew from his personal experiences in addressing guests.

‘‘I must mention that I have a special relationship with TD which is based on performance. It is a company that you can rely on. I remember many years ago while I was still in office at exactly 1am when I called Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh to say I wanted to buy 30,000 laptops. I still recall his response till today. He told me that he does not do business with state governments and that even if he wanted to, he does not think the Anambra State Government could afford to pay for the 30,000 laptops without credit.

‘‘I assured him that the laptops would all be paid for which we did upfront without collecting a bank guarantee. And they were supplied by TD and all of them deployed to specifications down to the very last one. I must confess, the execution beat our expectations. Today, the feat achieved by the Regina Pacis school girls who shocked the world at Silicon Valley, USA in 2018 can be attributed to this effort by TD and the Zinox Chairman. Though we paid for the equipment but TD added huge value and Anambra is better for it till date. Also, Anambra State has continued to emerge tops in school knowledge tests and examinations conducted over the past couple of years. The investment in technology and TD’s contribution played a key role in making this happen,’’ he said.

Obi, who was the Special Guest of Honour and who was wearing the cap of entrepreneur at the event, further described TD’s place in the Nigerian ICT distribution landscape as very essential to the current developments and gains recorded in the sector. Further, he urged budding entrepreneurs and small business owners to borrow a leaf from TD’s remarkable consistency, track record of delivery and integrity which has seen it all the way to the top.

Also speaking at the event, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), TD Africa, Mrs. Chioma Ekeh identified tenacity as the enduring attribute that has kept the organization at the top of its game over the past 20 years.

‘‘This quality, more than anything else, sets TD apart and makes us different. We keep our promises,’’ she said.

Further, she heaped praises on the entire Management and staff of TD, whom she described as the lifeblood of the company, even as she expressed deep gratitude to the special guests and other attendees for honouring the invitation.

The Zinox Group Chairman, Ekeh who extended best wishes of the season to all, also assured younger entrepreneurs that there seems to be light at the end of tunnel with the rebranding of the Ministry of Communications to Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy by President Muhammadu Buhari and with a tested hand as the Minister.

‘‘The new addition resonates confidence and assures certified future for smart entrepreneurs,’’ he enthused.

Meanwhile, the event witnessed the presentation of awards to deserving Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other channel partners. Top winners on the night include Dell-EMC, Huawei, Konga, Edgebase Line Ltd. Allied Computers, HPI, among others. The event also witnessed top-notch performances from A-list artistes including Kizz Daniel, Flavour, comedian SLK and Okey Bakassi who doubled as the MC/compere.

Equally important, Celebrating You remains arguably the only one which brings together the major competing local and international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other stakeholders in the industry under one roof, albeit in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.

In attendance was a host of knowledge-driven resource persons including former Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos, Prof. Ibidapo Obe; Chairman TD Board of Directors, Prof Anya O. Anya; former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Ernest Ebi; Group Deputy Managing Director, Access Bank, Roosevelt Ogbonna; among many others.

TD shuts Computer Village for Praise Flame

Sponsored@ITRealms:

Otigba Street in the heart of Computer Village, Ikeja – Nigeria’s ICT and accessories hub – was transformed on Thursday June 1^st as Technology Distributions Ltd., Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest ICT distributors, unleashed a heavyweight cast of Gospel artistes including Chioma Jesus, Joe Praise, Monique, Enkay, Chika 100%, Sammie Okposo and Big Bolaji, for a morning dose of divine worship, praise and outpouring of God’s blessings at the second edition of a market place evangelical initiative tagged Praise Flame.

For many traders, patrons, representatives of Original Equipment Manufacturers and other members of the Computer Village ICT eco-system, the day will remain indelible in the memory.

The usual Thursday market-place environmental sanitation did not in any way deter from the spirit and attendance levels for the concert. Traders were already gathered round early in the morning to sanitize their spirituality. To them, the concert was more important than anything else.

By 8am, the stage set was already vibrating to the sound check from various upcoming artistes – a signal to the few who were still engaged in the clean-up exercise to hasten and round up the exercise.

Monique was the first from the line-up of artistes to perform. Her appearance on stage brought the crowd closer to the stage barrier, setting the tone for what was to follow. Her performance was followed by Chika 100% who delivered with so much energy that charged the atmosphere. Next up was fast rising UK-based Nigerian Urban Contemporary Gospel artiste, Enkay who came on board with a soul-lifting rendition of her major works.

Joe Praise was already rearing to go backstage before he was called upon to perform. Seemingly amazed at the huge ovation coming his way, the talented singer delivered a memorable performance after which he described Praise Flame as the best street concert he has ever featured in. Then came the performance of Sammie Okposo whose energetic approach, silky steps and repertoire of praise song kept the crowd agog, of course with the usual white handkerchief in tow. The ‘Wellu-Well’ crooner also took the opportunity to dedicate a birthday song with some words of prayers for Tim Tehila, CEO of Tehila Records and initiator of Praise Flame.

Ibadan-based artiste, Big Bolaji also thrilled the crowd with powerful gospel messages and some comic relief. His songs warmly ushered in Chioma Jesus who has been highly anticipated. As usual, Chioma Jesus put-up an electric performance that took the crowd into a highly-spiritual level. 

The stage barriers were almost collapsed but the security guards were able to manage the pressure from the crowd. Chioma sang and prayed prophetically. She also made a special prayer for Joe Praise whose wedding is coming up in a few weeks.

Speaking at the event, Tim Tehila expressed delight at the wonderful performances by the various artistes despite time constraints. He expressed his gratitude to the Management of Technology Distributions Ltd. for supporting the event, while also disclosing plans to take Praise Flame to other locations such as Alaba International Market and Trade Fair. 

He also expressed his optimistic that more testimonies would be recorded from this year’s concert.

This second edition of Praise Flame was sponsored by Technology Distributions, with the Tehila Records crew on ground to support some of the artistes in what looked like a non-stop gospel performance. Other organizers are Adeniyi Olasoji, Chairman of Computer Village, Ikeja; Godfrey Nwosu, President of Phone Allied Products Dealers Association and Boniface Ania, President of Computer Allied Products Dealers Association.

“We are delighted to be associated with this edition of Praise Flame. It is a unique opportunity for all of us to unite under the umbrella of fellowship and render maximum praises to God. Going by the figures recorded last year, we expect to have a larger turn-out for this year’s edition.

“TD is a socially responsible corporate citizen and part of our mandate is to continually support projects and initiatives which contribute to the moral, economic, social and religious well-being of our host communities, stakeholders and other publics.
