Shocking!!!Nigeria's Kano Factory Revealed As The Provider Of LOUIS VUITTON’S LEATHER.


Kano-tannery

One of Nigeria’s last-surviving leather factories, God’s Little Tannery made waves when we were told by Tweet through the social media that it supplies top fashion house, Louis Vuitton.

Said Tweet came from The Economist’s correspondent Eleanor Whitehead, whose recent tour around Northern Nigeria included a visit to the city of Kano, where she met the team at the tannery.

Ms Whitehead took a few shots of the establishment, which is owned by Igbo businessman Chief Koffy Ndubuisi Udeagha, captioning her Twit-pic;
“This is God’s Little Tannery, one of Kano’s last surviving leather tanneries. It supplies Louis Vuitton”

Garnering over 1,000 retweets, word of the factory spread fast, with one question arising: How is it that Nigeria can make such wondrous products and supply a global brand like Vuitton, yet struggle to sell such products internationally and create its own brands with the same magnitude?

In contrast to news of the tannery’s success, the reporter also shared a shot of Kano’s closed shoe factory, captioning;

“Sad sight of a non-operational shoe factory in Kano. It’s had to deal with a litany of problems in the past decade.”

Adding another twist in the Twitter tale, Ms Whitehead – on her outward journey from Nigeria – Tweeted this of her struggles with Arik Air;

- some irony found in the fact that the airline has been publicly favoured by notable politicians and others promoting the #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira campaign on social media, which aims to increase patronage for Nigerian goods and services.

Team SPICE send a salute to Kano and God’s Little Tannery for its hard work and success in supplying such a prestigious label with its leather, and will look forward to the day the globe is buying the same Naija-made goods from a Naija-made brand, that’s a big or even bigger than Louis Vuitton.

But a question i find bugging ,Should they be suppliers of a big designer World brand as this and still remain in this pitiable state? We shouldnt be taken for granted.

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

Image
"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t...

Revealed! Yvonne Nelson Speaks on lesbian Rumours.

Image
’I like Jim Iyke because he is a hot guy’ By Ekerete Udoh My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had alway...

Sunday was the seventh annual International Go Topless Day and women around the world marched topless in support of women's rights. The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests.' In one of 60 events planned around the world women gathered in Manhattan with placards and banners - and without their tops. Scroll down for video The green colored states are those where top freedom is in effect. The orange colored ones have amibiguous state laws on the matter. The red colored ones are the ones where the mere showing of the female breast in public is illegal according to state law. Though the majority of states are top free, some cities in those states have passed (unconstitutional) ordinances that annul the state's top free statute. The following cities are officially topless "tested...
