Chairman of Ekulo Group, Chief Emma Bishop Okonkwo and wife
First of all, Chief Emma “Bishop” Okonkwo (OFR), Chairman/CEO of Ekulo Group of Companies, a son of Ichi town in Anambra State, is so ingrained in the Nigerian system that most people use his products every day without even knowing that. Most of them have never even heard of him or his company.
Any time you use anointing oil (Goya olive oil), you are most likely using his product. Any time you take Holy Communion, you are most likely taking his product.
If you don’t like alcoholic beverages but like to take drinks in bottles that look like wine brands, you are most likely patronizing him (Eva, Chamdor, Toma, J&W).
If you prefer the milky, sweet-tasting liquers like Amarula, Wild Africa, etc, you are his customer.
But if you prefer brandy (St. Remy, 501, etc), he is quietly waiting for you. And if you prefer whisky, cognac, gin, rum, tequila, champagne, white wine, rosé, or bitters, he is there wherever you turn.
Even if you avoid all forms of drinks, he is waiting for you in the bathroom with different soap brands like Eva, Clear Essence, Gino, Hawaii. If you say no to those, he is waiting for your through his body spray brands.
If that fails, he waits for you to need blood tonic and multivitamins. If you scale that, he is waiting for you when you need to eat biscuits, Danish cookies, lollipop, Titus sardines, corned beef, chocolate, wafers, crackers, etc,
The man is the real definition of “Everywhere you go”.
Many don’t know how one man is able to have such amazing number and variety of brands that people patronize heavily with little or no advertising. Those who patronize him don’t even know the owner or distributor of the brand they patronize. It is only in some parts of Anambra State that those with their ears to the ground know him very well.
