SET TO SHOW THE WORLD- SDC

The entertainment world is beginning to take notice of a talented rap duo with a difference; Show Dem Camp.

Show Dem Camp (SDC) comprises of the mega-versal duo of Ghost and Tec who are destined to leave their distinctive musical thumbprints on both the local and international music scene.

With a strong following in their home country Nigeria, plus the United States and United Kingdom, these young and fresh lyricists have taken their position in the music industry with the sole intention of projecting a positive musical message laced with raw yet intelligent beats and lyrical content.

SDC synchronise Nigerian beats together with westernised melodic styles thus concocting a distinctive sound with an extra twist, a sound that makes perfect sense to the multicultural ear.

Their latest singles “Yawa on the Dance floor” and “Tell me Nothing” are currently blowing up the airwaves throughout Lagos and Abuja.

In the words of DJ Humility, “SDC are destined for great things as they are real and doing it right...they are proudly Nigerian and their music is fresh with a lot of swagger”. SDC have also completed a collaborative album titled The Dreamers with a number of talented up and coming artists in the Nigerian music scene.

Prominent artists like M.I and Sound Sultan have already contributed songs to the project which SDC have described as a concept album projecting "a statement of empowerment to show people it is alright to dream and to chase those dreams without compromise."

This is the whole premise behind the name of their movement “Show Dem”. They are intent on showing Nigeria, Africa and eventually the world that something exceptional can arise from Nigeria a nation desperate to show off its musical capablities.

Lucky stars as Daggoo; an African harpooner alongside Hollywood stars William Hurt and Ethan Hawke who play the roles of Captain Ahab and Starbuck respectively.


This mini-series is being produced by the Tele Munchen Group, one of Germany’s largest television corporations and is being called the most expensive project in the company's 40-year history. The budget is clocking at $25 million as shooting begins in Lunenburg on the east coast of Canada and continues thereafter in Malta. The project envisions CGI animation as well as action scenes on the high seas and will wrap up towards the end of 2010.Nigeria eagerly awaits the arrival of Lucky Ejim to celebrate this new accomplishment and of course The TENANT™ which has already won:

§ Best Film – ( Mid Atlantic Black Film Festival) Virginia 2009



The TENANT™ tells the tale of Obinna, a Nigerian refugee in Canada, who faces deportation in 30 days. When all hope seems lost, a chance confrontation with Timothy, his terminally ill landlord, provides him an opportunity to remain in the country. Timothy who is a former immigration officer makes him a deal; to intervene in his pending deportation if Obinna finds his estranged daughter Nicole and convinces her to see him one last time before he dies. With the clock ticking, Obinna fights to save his dreams and stumbles on discoveries that will shake the very foundation of his beliefs.

The Tenant

One of the biggest movies to hit Nigeria.

I was on my way back from Lagos when I decided to stop over in Toronto to meet with a long time friend Jude Idada. I had known Jude for years...but we had never physically met.

Jude wanted to show me a movie...that he planned on Launching into the Nigerian/African Market.

I sat down and i watched...then my mouth was hanging...then my tears flowed freely, then i laughed...then i was stunned...then i was impressed...i think once i got up and clenched my fist...

The tenant brought out every emotion in me and i am honored that my company will be working with Jude Idada and the rest of the team at Broken Manacles to Launch THE TENANT in Lagos this October.

Jude Idada is THE perfect producer. He has a budding talent that cannot be matched.

The Tenant has gone ahead and has won various awards including the Viewers Choice Awards, Black Hollywood Film Festival.

In the words of Robert Eisele (The Great Debaters)

“........ I loved this film. As a successful writer, I couldn’t even fathom the plot line, twists, reversals etc. The language was marvelous. The directing is superb. I am in awe.”

Movies with Nigerian Stories have gone international.

Veda Technology

VEDA TECHNOLOGY, truly a world class Brand.

Sometimes the difference between a global brand and a local brand is the spirit behind the brand. world class brands like Google, Apple Inc, and Microsoft became what they are today by developing an out of the box culture within their organization.A good brand identity goes beyond fancy packaging and expensive commercials. The concept of Branding involves a collection of the various characters and constituents of a product, person, or organization, and for a product, person, or organization to become a world class brand all constituent elements must be in sync as seen in a matrix such that when one element of a matrix is disturbed, it affects the entire system.putting all the intellectual ramble above into perspective, one evidence of all the factors outlined above is VEDA Technology.

A Nigerian based computer manufacturer that has introduced a unique computer hardware solution to the Nigerian and African Market.VEDA technology possesses what its competitors lack: youth, Quality relationships, and innovation. With computer designs by the same firms that design for other world class computer manufacturers, it is set to bring a breath of fresh air to computing in the African continent.

Currently VEDA technology has to its credit, 4 product designs which include:


1. VEDA Touch[Intel Core 2 Duo, 250 GB SATA HDD, 2GB DIMM, DVD Super multi+S/W, 1.3MEGA PIXEL Camera, Bluetooth, Switchable 110-240V power supply]

3. VEDA Fly[Intel Mobile Core, 16OGB SATA HDD, 2GB RAM, DVD-RSuper Multi, 1.3m Camera, wifi b/g, 4 Cell Smart Li battery]

4. VEDA pulse[Intel E2200 2.2 Ghz Cpu,160 GB SATA HDD,1GB DRAM MODULE, DVD ROM ODD,10/100/1000 Ethernet, 7.1 Sound Card, 9inl Card reader w/adaptor, 19” WXGA LCD Panel Monitor] (images)

For VEDA Technology, its loyalty to its users goes beyond delivering quality computing power to its users, it also involves giving the end user satisfaction and more computing power.

The QUEST application designed by VEDA Technology which it also bundles with all its computers free of charge to the end user is a free resource and multimedia application designed for business, entertainment, information and communication by its users.

The BT Family

I love my job. I mean, who wouldn’t? I’m allowed the flexibility of working from home which is the greatest blessing anyone who has experienced Lagos traffic can ask for. This also means that when work isn’t at home, it can be anywhere.

A cafe today, restaurant tomorrow, boardroom the day after.

We at the Bobby Taylor Company are the breath of fresh air you have been yearning for.

We are refreshingly different!

Drum roll please as I introduce you to the team. Cue mood music...The Addams Family Theme Tune.

Bobby: Bubbly, fun loving but NOT to be messed with; this young lady of a CEO is the brain behind the concept and company. Making a lot of dreams (and the skeptics’ nightmares) come true.

Lola: Shoe addict, randomly bursts into song and dance in the most entertaining fashion. With work experience from Unilever UK and GT Bank Nigeria, this PR consultant was our UK representative before relocating to Lagos.

Ore: Happily married mother of one...mother of us all. Keeping us in check and making clients feel at ease. She is the Client Services Director that has been with the company since its inception. She doesn’t need a cool bio because she’s naturally cool. She lives in Hollywood!

Dayo: Accounts and Project Manager; only understands certain symbols (i.e. £, $, ¥, €... you catch my drift). Direct, driven and downright scary at times.

Gossim: The far-from-geeky-techie. This seemingly quiet but equally extroverted gentleman still freaks out about being the only guy on the team. Amazingly organised and professional; another exceptional PR Consultant.

And who am I? I am simply Moyo. Engineer, turned Fashion and Lifestyle Writer, turned budding PR Consultant.

Needless to say, we are an eclectic, multifaceted group of young minds that have come together to give PR and everything associated with it a newer, fresher approach.

We are not afraid to think crazy. We live outside of the box... you couldn’t box us up even if you tried.

So come one, come all.

Explore the opportunity to give your brand / event / image /concept that X-factor it truly deserves.

Why? Because you’re buzzworthy ;-)
