Excerpts Below:
Chief Michael Nwaleke Nwokedi is the CEO NWACHIEF NIGERIA LIMITED in Ogun State. who Produced spirit and wine, A graduate of Agriculture Economist from the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, a successful farmer based on practice cum production expert.

When did you started the production of spirit wines?

I started the the production of spirit and wine in Ogun State in 1997, twenty-one years ago.

I started in a low key, in which I had to deliver it to nearby areas like Yewa, Igbo ora and later to Lagos state in Mushin, Trade fair and other parts in Lagos environs. As time goes on we move to Delta State, Taraba, Enugu,Aba , Portharcourt and other states in Nigeria and beyond to deliver our products and to the glory of God we are extending the best for the company.

Likely Challenges Facing The Wine Business

The likely challenges are logistics, infrastructure in terms delivery of our goods to other states despite the bad road network of the country.

Also double taxation is almost fifteen, Income tax, exercise duties, tenement rates, land users and others which makes payment of salaries to the employees harder sometimes after deducting the tax payments from the profits.

 We urge the federal government to see to the state if roads in Nigeria to ease the delivery of our goods cutting across Nigeria and beyond.
*What are your Success Stories*

Well, when we started our business it was not an easy task in terms of logistics and meeting up with expectations of our customers in the area of circulation but today we can deliver our products to any part of the country and beyond, also with our capacity we can accommodate any customers.

Being a practising farmer,  having so many farm animals and crops I am living good couple with the wine productions.

*What content did you use in production of your products to be extraordinary different from other spirit wine that cause harm to consumers?*

As a human being, there is certain amount of volume you need to take that will never cause harm to your body system.

Consumption of alcohol should be limited  most especially when driving, drinks is meant for occasion, to celebrate and when the consumption limit has be reached by people they should not endeavour to drink excess to avoid causing any harm to the body structure.

 Also so many consume alcohol with empty stomach which has harmful effects on the kidney and lungs, our product has *NAFDAC* number, we passed consumer control test and other necessary test before distribution.
How many state as hammer gin circulated to in Nigeria and how can new consumers contact you if they need supply

Well like i told you earlier on our products, the gin have cut across and selling fast, we have hammer gin in at least 30 states out of the 36 states we have, in fact we have move beyond Nigeria, we export it to Cotonou, Togo and Cameroon.  that is to tell you we don’t limit ourselves to Nigeria alone, i am currently working on how this gin will be in England, Germany and Italy. May God help me.

Our head office is at kilometer 3, Ayetoro Road Adehun Abeokuta, Ogun State.
For new customers contact *08034546679 and 08086717671*
Message to all consumer of Hammer Products

My candid message will come in advise way, the drivers should not drink while driving as life has no duplicate,  at the same time our customers should not under any circumstances drink on empty stomach as it is very harmful to their system. We are using this medium to appreciate everyone for deeming it fit to patronise all products coming from our company while we wish them a successful business with huge profits.

In Search of Justice: Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu’s Plea for Recognition and Dignity

Published

on

In a world where the bonds of love and faith should transcend earthly judgments, Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu finds herself battling not only for justice but for the affirmation of her dignity and place within her late husband’s legacy.

Alhaja Enitanwa, the widow of renowned business mogul Lanre Shittu, faces an overwhelming injustice as she appeals a ruling by the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court. This court dismissed her case by claiming it lacked the jurisdiction to do so.

This judgment, for Alhaja Enitanwa, represents a painful contradiction. The Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court had been specially designated to hear cases rooted in Islamic law—a foundation of faith and tradition that defined her marriage to her beloved husband. How, then, can this same court deny its duty to preside over the case she brings forward, a case so deeply tied to her faith and rightful place within her family?

At the heart of her appeal is a plea for recognition, not only for herself but for every Muslim woman whose rights are meant to be upheld by the legal protections guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution. Her counsel, Barrister Kayode Ademiluyi, stresses that this Constitution embraces Sharia law as a personal and protected path for Muslims, enshrining the rights of individuals like Alhaja Enitanwa to have their marital bonds honored by the law.

The Customary Court Law of Lagos State further cements these rights. By law, designated courts are empowered to adjudicate in matters of Islamic law—marriage, divorce, and family bonds. Yet, for reasons unknown, the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court has chosen to ignore this mandate, casting aside the deeply personal matter Alhaja Enitanwa brought to its doors.

She seeks more than validation; she seeks justice. For Alhaja Enitanwa, this appeal is an urgent call for the court to correct a decision that, in its oversight, has left her in limbo, questioning the very foundations of her marriage and her place within a family she holds dear.

Her appeal will journey through the Customary Court of Appeal, a court of immense authority, with the power to oversee customary law matters. Here, the court will have the solemn duty to interpret her case in the spirit of fairness, upholding the principles of religious and personal freedoms granted under Nigerian law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s case is not just about her suffering but about restoring the dignity of every Muslim woman who looks to the law to honour her faith and protect her rights.

Let us remember that at the heart of this case lies a woman—a mother, a widow—whose only desire is to protect the bond she shared with her late husband and to honour the life they built together under Islamic law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s struggle resonates far beyond her plight; it is a struggle for justice, for the rights of Muslim women, and for the values enshrined in the law.
