Ehi Presents The Power Woman Collection

EHI is a contemporary African Readytowear brand based in Abuja,Nigeria. It is solely owned by Patience EHI Odokor. 

The brand “EHI” was birthed as a gift to the younger female generation. The younger generation totally looks up to the current power women for inspiration, resulting in the need to style the current power woman as one who is bold, fearless, confident and sexy without overly exposing her body, and can absolutely crush ceilings. 

Our mission is to inspire, mentor, and support the next generation of female leaders to be the best version of themselves, hence the launch of our debut collection as the “Power Woman”. With this collection we aim to send a message to all the power women and upcoming power women that they are unique and carry something powerful within.  They are born to dazzle and be light to their community and dazzle they will whilst they are fully clothed and professional. 

This collection exemplifies that the “power woman” needs not expose their body in order to standout or belong. “EHI” will lead the younger generation through the journey to self discovery to becoming the ultimate “Power Woman”. 

10% of the proceeds will be used to support young girls by providing seed grants,scholarships and mentoring.

Bata Back In Nigeria ?

.  Builds $1m Plant In Abuja

 Stakeholders of Bata shoe accessories have launched a $1m fund for the building of an Abuja factory to tackle shoe importation problem in the country.

Mr Tobe Eze who spoke on behalf of the stakeholders said Bata is a company which was involved in the manufacturing of shoe accessories in the 60s and 70s but left the country in the 80s due to change of policies.
While speaking to journalists at the company’s outlet in Abuja, Tobe stated that the company will employ 128 youths in the Abuja plant, adding that that six were already undergoing training.
“We are part of the business owners that brought Bata back to Nigeria; Bata was in the country from the 60s but left around the 80s; for now, we are proud to be associated with this brand and we just opened a shop in Abuja.
“We are setting up a shoe plant and an industrial park in Abuja with $1m; by June, we will have all the brands been produced here in Nigeria and employ 128 Nigerian youths to manage the production in the shoe factory; six are already undergoing training.”

He further added that the company had put in place management and a lot of systems to ensure that the business continues to exist in the country.
A customer, Joy Aka, recalled that she used Bata while she was growing up and when she heard it was back, she decided to try its products and see if they were like the ones in the 80s.
