The newly inaugurated Nigeria Egypt Cultural and Socio Economic Forum (NECSEF) is a model business association focused on promoting successful economic relations between Nigeria and Egypt.

NECSEF’s aspiration is to be the one stop organisation and preferred gateway for conducting business in Nigeria by Egyptians, providing trust and the ability to engage with highly influential people who can provide access and market intelligence into every aspect of the Nigerian market.

NECSEF organised its first conference in collaboration with Nigeria Embassy in Cairo, and strategic partners Egyptian African Businessmen’s Association (EABA) on the 10th – 12th October 2022 to a roaring success.

The conference titled Nigeria – Egypt Trade Conference & B2B Meeting attracted over 300 high level business leaders and government officials. The event took place at the conference halls of the stunning St. Regis hotel Almasa, in the new federal capital territory, Cairo Egypt.

The idea for the conference according to Mr. Mahmood Ahmadu, chairman of NECSEF and OIS, the main organisers, was to strengthen bilateral trade relations between the two largest African economies, Nigeria and Egypt with the aspiration to boost trade from the current of circa $180 million US.

The NECSEF chairman Mr Ahmadu and Dr Yousry El Sharkawi EABA chairman made a joint announcement that an agreement of $30 million dollars was signed during the conference as part of strengthening bilateral relations.

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country with over 225 million people, and Egypt is the third most populous country in Africa with over 104 million people. Egypt enjoys a mixed economy strong in tourism, agriculture, construction, fossil fuels with an emerging ICT sector.

Nigeria on the other hand has a mixed economy focused upon petroleum, and a growing agriculture sector, it also has an emerging market with expanding technology, service, financial and communications sectors.

There is great demand in Nigeria for Egyptian products and it’s really a promising market for Egyptian investments with some great Egyptian companies already operating in Nigeria.

A great percentage of Nigeria’s exports to Egypt are petroleum and gas products followed by agricultural commodities.

The objectives of the conference in part was to reach a new and viable vision with a view of mobilizing the private sector, civil society and business community of both countries to increase trade and actively participate in African development.

The well attended event was spaced out over three days; with the first day being the main conference with many high level speakers, attended by government leaders, senior members of several diplomatic missions, and leaders from the business sector.

The second day was a highly interactive B2B session, matchmaking several sectors with hundreds of the delegates where Nigerian and Egyptian business people participated in pitching and introducing their various businesses.

The third day was all about tours and external visits to some of Egypt’s most iconic centers. Delegates chose from one of two tour options, either a visit to the world famous Suez Canal Economic Zone, an innovative and self-sustaining industrial development and commercial hub, or the world class International Medical Center, a military hospital that is one of the largest in the Middle East.

The dignitaries who graced the event included Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Minister of Water Resources Suleiman Adamu, Minister of State Works and Housing, Minister of State Industry, Trade and Investment, Ambassador Mariam Katagum, H.E Nura Abba Rimi, Nigerian Ambassor in Egypt, Mr Anthony Nwachukwu, Vice President of Innovate 1 Pay, Mr Babatunde Irukera, CEO Federal Competition & Consumer Protection, Mr Khalifa Abdullahi, Chairman KK Kingdom Group, Dr Kassim Gidado from Nigeria Arab Gulf Chamber of Commerce.

Russia has said it may close its main gas pipeline to Germany if the West goes ahead with a ban on Russian oil.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said a “rejection of Russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market”, causing prices to more than double to $300 a barrel.

The US has been exploring a potential ban with allies as a way of punishing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

But Germany and the Netherlands rejected the plan on Monday.

The EU gets about 40% of its gas and 30% of its oil from Russia and has no easy substitutes if supplies are disrupted.

Mahmood Ahmadu and Robert Jreissati Signs MOU to Boost Trade Opportunities Between Nigeria and Poland

While the UK would not be directly impacted by supply disruption, as it imports less than 5% of its gas from Russia, it would be affected by prices rising in the global markets as demand in Europe increases.

Iain Conn, the former boss of British Gas owner Centrica, said natural gas was “less freely” traded compared to oil, and it would be “much more difficult” to replace Russian gas if supplies are affected as it is transported through fixed pipelines from country to country.

The price of Brent crude – the global benchmark for oil prices – rose to around $130 a barrel on Tuesday following reports that the US and UK will announce their own ban on Russian oil imports.

In an address on Russian state television, Mr Novak said it would be “impossible to quickly find a replacement for Russian oil on the European market”.

“It will take years, and it will still be much more expensive for European consumers. Ultimately, they will be hurt the worst by this outcome,” he said.

Pointing to Germany’s decision last month to freeze certification of Nord Stream 2, a new gas pipeline connecting the two countries, he added that an oil embargo could prompt retaliation.

“We have every right to take a matching decision and impose an embargo on gas pumping through the [existing] Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline,” he said.

Kanye West has shared a photograph of him kissing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian after he vowed he would get them back together.

The Donda rapper, 44, took to his Instagram stories to share an old photo of him and then-wife Kim embracing.

While he didn’t add a caption, the photo includes a headline from TMZ stating: ‘Kanye West says God will bring Kim, 41, and him back together, inspire millions’.

The headline is in reference to a speech Kanye made at a charity event in LA earlier this week, where he stated he was determined to get back together with his wife.

In the speech, Kanye said he will fix his marriage as God wants them to see that ‘everything can be redeemed’.

The chart-topper went on to say that he would be ‘changing the narrative’ around his marriage and that he would not let E! or Hulu – two channels where the Kardashians have reality shows – ‘write the narrative on my family’.

Saying that he was trying to express himself in the ‘most sane way’, Kanye added simply: ‘I need to be back in my home.’

He said that ‘if the enemy can separate Kimye’, it makes ‘millions of families feel that separation is okay.

But when ‘God brings Kimye together’, those millions of families will be ‘influenced’ to ‘overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used…’

Kanye also opened up about their marriage in a Thanksgiving prayer on Thursday, where he said he ’embarrassed’ Kim when he vocally supported then-president Donald Trump and then tried to run for president himself.

The speech came after Yeezy told the podcast and YouTube series Drink Champs that he and Kim were ‘not even divorced’ as he has ‘never seen the papers’.

Referring to her as his wife throughout the interview, the rapper said their children ‘want their parents to stay together, I want us to be together.’

Kim, however, appears to have moved on with Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, 28.

Rumours about the two swirled for weeks after they were seen holding hands and heading out for dinner together after kissing during a sketch on SNL for an episode Kim was hosting.

But while neither have officially commented on the rumours, the pair were seen this week holding hands and giggling together in a car – and if that’s not enough to sent the rumour mill into overdrive, Pete was sporting what looked to be a fairly considerable love bite.

Kanye, meanwhile, is rumoured to be dating model Vinetria, 22, after the pair attended a basketball game at his Donda Academy school in Minneapolis.
