'Amaka' sounds Ibo. And they couldn't make their h/qtrs in Naija. Cos we don't need good tins abi?!
DeleteI tire o!
Ehe, no black models.
Ok na.
But all I see on the ladies are rags na, make it classy and stylish and you will go places, hopefully there is much more to showcase than what I can see here
Deleteplease take a pill for your sickness #hater
DeleteGood one there. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ReplyDeleteThat's a welcome development, are those hers abi you just did copy and paste?
ReplyDeletenot even one black model...smh
ReplyDeleteMy point too... Buh 9ce concept!
Delete@Bobo_Edo
My thot exactly.
DeleteThat's because those clothes are not from the stable of the so called amaka global. They just used the pics of models modeling other designers clothes as theirs. Nigerians are so fond of puffing up and creating a fake facade. I but you that the so called amaka global does not even have an outlet yet, but they here sounding so grandiose and successful. How could 5000 fashion franchises all over the world be interested in you already without people ever hearing of you until today? In their bid to exaggerate things, they unwittingly, made very untenable claims. Anyway, it may work as so many people are too darn gullible.

By people you mean you? You sound bitter. Like someone who is in between jobs. Ndo o.
DeleteU may say whatever u like, anonym at 7:17pm. By people, I meant people like you who are so gullible to believe whatever bullcrap that is thrown at them. And if you happen to be amaka global, please use another ploy because this is not working out. A discerning mind could easily see through this bogus write up. And trust me, you have no freaking outlet yet. What you just did was to trot out on the pages of Linda ikeji, your make believe world, it ain't happening yet, if it ever would. I am aghast at your effrontery in using someone elses's work and passing them of as yours. U better acknowledge your source before nemesis catches up with you. And by the way, the name is so freaking local. Are u freaking kidding me? Amaka Global, indeed!

ReplyDeleteXDON D DON
Silent successful billionaires....not the empty nollywood and musicians with nada flaunting there small kays...this is what i like to see and read about...i will definitely patronize if its good quality
ReplyDeleteI could totally hug you and even give you a peck on the cheek for saying this. I couldn't agree more.
DeleteAmaka Global though? So much for branding
ReplyDeletelol. my thoughts exactly. clothes look good but I'm not going to wear "amaka global"
DeleteAnon 2.16, the label is Fast fashion. Olodo.

ReplyDeleteWow! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteCoolDiva speaks!
Amaka global?why not just AMAKA little observation for an unemployed geh lol
ReplyDeletei love pieces, i hope it will more affordable. that's the only way they can beat other brands
ReplyDeleteThe Beautiful Eagle
Anon @ 9:42 am. Yes her branding is good and the name perfect. The name of cloth brand you wear are all people's names. Fee your mind from your poor mindset and liberate your thinking you darm fool from slavery. (slave mentality) .
ReplyDeleteNo need to cuss!
DeleteFor u to make a brand name, it has to be relateable. HnM, Zara, Asos, big brands with easy to pronounce, strait to d point names. You need to liberate your mind from your own misplaced way of thinkin.
Thank you jare. Don't mind the mumu with real slave mentality. The name Amaka will become known globally and instead of commending the company for sticking to their roots you are caastigating them. Branding is impt but I am yet to see a name that doesn't succeed with the right strategy and lots of adverts.
DeleteNames may sound strange initially but by the time you hear it over and over in ads, the name becomes cool.
So many semi illiterates here. Its called Fast fashion. The parent company is Amaka Global. As for the slaves mentioning Zara, do you even know their group co name? Nigerians can never be happy when ibos do well. But if this was called Iyabo or Zainab y'all would be gushing.
DeleteAmaka?! What kind of bush name is that?
ReplyDeleteHow is amaka a bush name , na wa for Nigerians . So anything that is indeginous and not western is raz now abi ? Confused set of people , amaka is a wonderful name and actually has meaning .
DeleteAmaka is not a bush name but you are! Since you are from bush, let me explain to you a bit- Amaka is a wonderful name from Igbo-Nigeria origin; a suffix which denotes how beautiful a thing is e.g Nwamaka-Beautiful child, Chiamaka-Beautiful God, Nkemamaka- Mine is Beautiful, etc. I like the gots and confidence of the brand owner as i pray that God will beautify the brand as the name implies- "Amaka Global".
DeleteU r just a nut cracker.....my fellow Nigerian's we despise ourselves.... why will outsiders value us? Think before you speak....
DeleteSeriously, no single black model was used. I was scrolling down hoping to see just one. Stupid black people and deir self-hating lives. Amaka Global indeed! U would have made it 'Amaka Global Industries and Sons Limited' ------ Good business idea, Bad Marketing Strategy. I'm so vexed! Abuja Babe.
ReplyDeleteLmao!
DeleteShe for kuku stop for 'AmAkA'
If na oyibo type this comment, na racist una go brand am.
DeletePlease go and start yours and make sure ALL the models are BLACK or PINK. Whatever you want na ur biz.
because you have the backing of arab money does not mean you will rule the world....
ReplyDeletezara is not all all about deep pockets, but about business know how...years and years of trial and error till it got to this stage...do you know how many stores they have....
and the founder of zara is not just the richest man in europe, he is simple, and on top of his game.
Lovely lovely lovely. Would hv loved to see them on a black model, to atleast know how its gonna look on us. Thumbs up to Amaka Global
ReplyDeletemore grease to ur elbow..u shld have ur HQ in dis country dou..bring investment and help us not have bh rising from every region in dis country..unemployment can do dat...better foul

Indecent clot. Rubbish
ReplyDeleteAre there plans to bring any of the production to Nigeria? otherwise, this is just a waste of time and I will not patronise them.
ReplyDeleteWhy? you may ask.Because they would not be creating any jobs for Nigerians. The would only be taking money from Nigerian customers. Plus we would not see any of their profits on Nigerian shores because they are based in Paris and would probably spend their money outside of Nigeria.
Until these people commit to manufacture in Nigeria, there is nothing to celebrate
Yes Amaka Global it is! Goan mud haters,tribalistic fools!
ReplyDeletePlease open office in Enugu, i will fly down to buy my stuffs come back to Europe and sale them, loving the new igbo spirit, business. meanwhile lots of people moving back to start new business in Enugu.
ReplyDelete#rolling my eyse#
ReplyDeleteGood business plan but why dint you do market research about brand... In our society today,People love to wear names than clothes, you should have come out with a better brand name..... #my opinion
ReplyDeleteEnemy of progres open ur own $ use ur name aproko ppl muntula,AMY twale 4 u.bad bele ppl ll nt c u,u ll jump $ pass
ReplyDeleteI smell wash.targeted marketing.100 million dollars indeed!
ReplyDeleteLol..."Amaka Global"? Amaka would've been better. Having said dat, it's good to know der are silent billionaires who don't showcase every lil pant dey acquire on d internet. Good one der.
ReplyDeleteDacDuchess!
Good.
ReplyDeletePls promote indigenous named goods and services. Dangote is.blazing the trail. Mitsubishi, Toyota, Hyundai, Fujitsu, Ralph Lauren, Yohji Yamamoto, Ekenedilichukwu, etc are doing very well. The Global in ' Amaka Global ' signifies an.internafional outlook, so the HQ doesn't have to be in Nigeria, especially if their core market and financiers aren't in Africa. Stop embracing slave mentality
ReplyDeleteIf your product is good, people will buy it.
U are the slave! U have sold yourselves to your so called financiers, that is why you cannot have your HQ in Nigeria...and Please! stop commenting under anonymous to cuss pple out for giving you constructive criticisms. AMAKA is a good name for a brand...but why add the Global??? for heaven's sake this is fashion!
DeleteJust porsh and feyisola your oponions don't count, she sat down n thought of what is best 4 her, n u both are sitting down here thinking of some one else's hustle........Salvatorre ferragamo, guise ppl Zanootti are making us cram pronounce n spell deir native names and Amaka ordinary Amaka is not sweet......u ppl r high on pure water.
ReplyDeleteAmaka sweetie dearie......if u like change d name to Amaka Global worldwide outreach all I can say is thank you 4 putting nigeria on the map 4 good thing.......
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the no black model.....can't people jst grow up and think positive.....and there's nothing wrong with the name Amaka global(AG) that's ok, pple think before you comment
ReplyDeleteSelf hate is sad not 1 black model kmt
ReplyDeleteMy follow Nigerians, dorce and gabana are peoples name. Why not appreciate someones hhandiwork. If u appreciate good thing that come to people yours will be multiplied. Remember, God sees your heart
DeleteJust wishing u the best
ReplyDeletethunder fire you anon for saying Amaka is a local name. may amadioha erase your destiny, bastard.
ReplyDeleteLinda if you like eat my comment..

Sweetheart take it easy. ...#loll#
DeleteIgbo money speaking!!
ReplyDeleteAdverts should be loud enough for conviction sake. There are lots of brands now, so convincing people of your brand should consist of stunning cuts which am not seeing, expect for one pieces and the childrens collections. Then again, no black model? Smh! For now, am not yet convince about this brands cuts.
ReplyDeleteGood development we will try it out
