Nigerian designer explores GH market

Nigerian fashion designer, Emeka Oparah has expressed willingness to establish a Ghanaian offshoot of his fashion label Ethelberts Clothing in the country to serve the needs of the Ghanaian market.


Emeka Oparah who is in Ghana to promote his clothing label, which caters for some notable personalities and business executives, observed that Nigerian and Ghanaian nationals have a love for well-tailored clothes that enhance their personality and style in a personalised and cost-effective way. 
He remarked about the considerable sense of fashion that exists between Ghanaian and Nigerian men. 
“I’ve been coming to Ghana since 1994 and I can tell how similar Nigerian and Ghanaian styles are. I believed that as a thriving fashion business in Nigeria, it is only right that I come to Ghana and explore the market,” he said. 
Emeka Oparah, a corporate communications expert with over 25 years said after practising fashion designing as a hobby for many years, he decided to turn his passion into a business that will not only help others look good but also help promote the concept of Dress Nigerian.
Emeka told Showbiz that from his time in Ghana, he has come to appreciate Ghanaian tailors and designers as artisans he has come across and he hopes to recruit a number of them for his company in Nigeria. 
“Ghanaians are some of the artisans you can find anywhere in the world. They are very committed, dedicated and classy in finishing. Two months ago, I was in Ghana to scout for tailors I can take back to Nigeria,” he said.
Emeka said despite the very competitive Ghanaian market, he believes his business has what it takes to make an impact and carve a niche for himself. 
“We began as a small factory but we have grown to the point where we are able to meet any challenge or quantity of orders. We have reached the point where we employ two shifts of workers and as such, we are more than capable of meeting every demand as it comes,” he said.

Arsenal’s Wenger concerned by Chinese spending power

Arsene Wenger fears the huge wages being offered by big-spending Chinese clubs could cause problems when the Premier League teams look to negotiate new contracts with their star players.  Wenger is currently locked in talks with Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as the pair reportedly seek parity with the best-paid players in the Premier League. The Arsenal manager is hoping for successful resolutions to those contract stand-offs, but he believes the money on offer in the China Super League may persuade the Premier League’s star names to ask for even bigger pay packets to stay in England. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been linked with a move to China, with an offer of £600,000-per-week ($739,000) reportedly on the table for the Spain international. Two of his former Chelsea team-mates, Oscar and John Obi Mikel, have already moved to Super League outfits, while former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez became the highest-earning player in the world when h...

Record signing, Oscar lands in Shanghai to join SIPG

 Brazilian midfielder Oscar landed in Shanghai on Monday where the 25-year-old was set to smash the Asian transfer record with a reported 60 million euros ($63 million) deal with Shanghai SIPG. Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport. Oscar’s arrival in the Chinese Super League comes ahead of that of Argentina’s former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who signed for Shanghai Shenhua in another big-money deal last week.  Tevez’s transfer fee was 10.5 million euros, according to the website transfermarkt.com, which tracks dealings in the sport, though the reported two-year contract of 38 million euros per season ($40 million) makes him the world’s highest salaried footballer. SIPG’s general manager on Monday dismissed concerns raised by state media of a market bubble in the super-rich Chinese league, arguing prices have to be higher to attract players away from big European leagues. “The leagu...
