Felix Mbata, Lagos state
It was a celebration of brotherhood, business, and excellence on Sunday, 5th July 2026 as DURAS KABLO officially commissioned its New Warehouse and Head Office at No. 1, Otubu Estate, Marwa Road, Satellite Town, Lagos.
The event, owned by Chief Chigozie Aduradu, brought together captains of industry, international partners from Turkey, and members of Amazu United International Old Boys Association — a foremost association of achievers and community leaders.
Leading the delegation was the association President, Chief Tobias Okparaku aka “DEDE” — meaning Senior Man. Despite pressing community engagements in the East to choose a new king, Chief Okparaku flew into Lagos to honor his patron and brother.
In an exclusive chat with The Unique Model Magazine, he praised Duras Kablo as the benchmark for quality in Nigeria’s cable industry and Amazu United International Old Boys Association as the umbrella keeping leaders together.
WHY AMAZU UNITED CAME OUT STRONG
Q: Chief, what brought Amazu United International Old Boys Associationto this event?
Chief Okparaku: _“We are here for the official opening of the Permanent Site of Duras Kablo Warehouse and Office.
I had to leave important meetings in the East because Duras is somebody I respect so much. He is humble, he respects people, and I cannot forget him.
Amazu United International Old Boys Association is an old boys association — those who served under our Oga, Pastor Aloysius Okoroego Amazu, who brought us to Lagos and settled us.
Those who served me are members, and those who served Duras are also members. Duras is a financial member of Amazu. He supports us anytime we need help. So we came to celebrate our own.”
DURAS KABLO: THE UNMATCHABLE STANDARD
Q: What makes Duras Kablo different in the market?
Chief Okparaku: _“Duras Kablo has no rival as far as cable is concerned. His cable is unmatchable. The key thing is, Duras doesn’t compromise.
His products always meet the Standard Organisation of Nigeria, SON. When you buy Duras Cable, you are assured of 100% quality.
It has never disappointed me personally.
The white men here are his business partners from Turkey. They came because they trust the integrity Duras has built with them over the years.”_
AMAZU UNITED & DURAS: PARTNERS IN PROGRESS
Q: How will Amazu United International Old Boys Association support Duras Kablo’s growth?
Chief Okparaku: _“As Amazu United International Old Boys Association, we will continue to patronize him. We will also refer contractors, builders, and business people to him.
Anyone who buys from Duras will never be disappointed. That is the assurance we give because his name and product are one.”_
ADVICE TO THE MARKET
Q: Your advice to contractors and builders?
Chief Okparaku: _“Always demand for Duras Cable. It is the best.
Duras cannot accept anything that will tarnish his name. He is a man of high integrity, and that is why it is good to associate with him and do business with him.”_
Conclusively, the opening of Duras Kablo’s Warehouse and Head Office is a win for two brands: A product built on standard, and a club built on unity.
For Duras Kablo, the facility signals bigger capacity to serve Nigeria with 100% Copper, SON-Certified, Gauge-Accurate cables — with zero compromise.
For Amazu United International Old Boys Association, it is proof that when men of integrity rise, they lift each other.
As Chief Okparaku and members pledged more patronage, one message rang out: Duras Kablo — The Standard. Amazu United International Old Boys Association — The Brotherhood That Builds. With Turkish partners in attendance and Nigerian contractors watching, Duras Kablo is not just selling cables. It is selling trust.
