Online Business: Operator Calls For Calm Among Customers

Published

Customers of an online shopping mall, CHY Mall, have been advised to erase fear in their dealings with the company as its unique nature would not allow any sort of counter production.
The Ambassador of Tamsina Service Center, Mrs Christina Tamunosiki Tiene, gave the advice during the commissioning of the centre on Wednesday, in Port Harcourt.
Tiene noted that fear now rules online business operation, but dissociated CHY Mall from such due to its track record in online transaction.
According to her, one of the landmarks of the company was a system where the company buys back products from its customers and sells same on their behalf.
She noted that the profit generated from the sales was to be shared between the customer and the company every 10 days.
The CHY Mall operator who is popularly known as ‘The Boss Lady’, pointed out that non referral options for members of the company or customers before attaining a particular height in the trade was another advantage of the company over others.
“Operate an online shopping mall that encourages members to own their online shop, the company sells products on their behalf and shares the profit with them every 10 days”, she said.
The Tide gathered that the company, out of its returns, had bought cars for staff, paid their rents and fees and empowered many indigent people, especially women and children.
Mrs Tiene further said that they were in the online business to pull people out of poverty and give them a sense of belonging in the society.
At part of its trademark, the company, shared palliatives at the End of the Year Party organised for its customers and staff in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and Uyo in Akwa Ibom State, last week.
The Royal Father of the Day, who performed the commissioning rituals, the Eze Gbakagbaka of Evo Kingdom, King Leslie N Eke, urged online business operators to aim at a world class standard and ensure that its target was not defeated.
The patron of the centre and Bishop of Diocese of Johannesburg, South Africa, Rt. Rev. Timothy Prestige Adiele, also called for commitment among staff of the company and prayed for business growth for the centre.

Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.

Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.

The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.

Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.

“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.

“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”

Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.

In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.

Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.

Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.

NIS Ends Decentralised Passport Production After 62 Years

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has officially ended passport production at multiple centres, transitioning to a single, centralised system for the first time in 62 years.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the disclosure during an inspection of the Nigeria’s new Centralised Passport Personalisation Centre at the NIS Headquarters in Abuja, last Thursday.
He stated that since the establishment of NIS in 1963, Nigeria had never operated a central passport production centre, until now, marking a major reform milestone.
“The project is 100 per cent ready. Nigeria can now be more productive and efficient in delivering passport services,” Tunji-Ojo said.
He explained that old machines could only produce 250 to 300 passports daily, but the new system had a capacity of 4,500 to 5,000 passports every day.
“With this, NIS can now meet daily demands within just four to five hours of operation,” he added, describing it as a game-changer for passport processing in Nigeria.
“We promised two-week delivery, and we’re now pushing for one week.
“Automation and optimisation are crucial for keeping this promise to Nigerians,” the minister said.
He noted that centralisation, in line with global standards, would improve uniformity and enhance the overall integrity of Nigerian travel documents worldwide.
Tunji-Ojo described the development as a step toward bringing services closer to Nigerians while driving a culture of efficiency and total passport system reform.
According to him, the centralised production system aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda, boosting NIS capacity and changing the narrative for improved service delivery.

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has announced plans to roll out Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and the Nigerian Data Exchange (NGDX) platforms across key sectors of the economy, starting in early 2026.
Director of E-Government and Digital Economy at NITDA, Dr. Salisu Kaka, made the disclosure in Abuja during a stakeholder review session of the DPI and NGDX drafts at the Digital Public Infrastructure Live Event.
The forum, themed “Advancing Nigeria’s Digital Public Infrastructure through Standards, Data Exchange and e-Government Transformation,” brought together regulators, state governments, and private sector stakeholders to harmonise inputs for building inclusive, secure, and interoperable systems for governance and service delivery.
According to Kaka, Nigeria already has several foundational elements in place, including national identity systems and digital payment platforms.
What remains is the establishment of the data exchange framework, which he said would be finalised by the end of 2025.
“Before the end of this year and by next year we will be fully ready with the foundational element, and we start dropping the use cases across sectors,” Kaka explained.
He stressed that the federal government recognises the autonomy of states urging them to align with national standards.
“If the states can model and reflect what happens at the national level, then we can have a 360-degree view of the whole data exchange across the country and drive all-of-government processes,” he added.
