Nigeria has made history in London as Forever Living Products International celebrated its 2014 Global Rally in the UK capital. Nigeria was ranked 3rd in the world among the 158 countries that Forever Living Products International is presently doing business.

This is an improvement from the 4th position Nigeria was ranked for two years running – 2012 and 2013.
With this ranking, Nigeria has also maintained the first position in sales in Africa, a position FLP Nigeria has held since 2010, as well as retaining the five top distributorship positions of the company in the continent.

Considering the fact that FLP Nigeria has been in business in Nigeria   for only 13 years, this feat remains unprecedented in the history of the global multi level marketing company, according to sources.
Nigeria’s No. 3 position was announced on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at the presentation of Top 10 FLP Countries at the 2014 Global Rally which attracted 20,000 distributors and guests to the famed O2 Arena, London.

Presenting the award to FLP Nigeria/Benin’s Country Manager and Managing Director, Cornelius Tay, and his wife Caroline Olabisi Tay, FLP founder and Chairman, Rex Maughan, assisted by FLP President, Gregg Maughan commended the Nigerian company and the nation’s distributors for their dedication, hard work and resilience that have enabled the country to outperform many older FLP countries in Europe, Asia South America and the USA/Canada.

Responding to the recognition, Mr. Tay said Nigeria’s third position is dedicated to the hardworking distributors in Africa. FLP International Inc has been in operation for 36 years since its founding by Rex Maughan.

With a contingent of over 400 FLP distributors and guests, mostly qualifiers in the Global Rally and Chairman’s Bonus Incentives, Nigeria was determined to showcase its determination to make Africa proud on the international stage of the acclaimed multi-level marketing company.

Aside from emerging the third position in the global sales, three Independent Distributors from Nigeria received shared over US$1,500,000 for their exceptional achievements in the annual Chairman’s Bonus Incentive. Nigeria and Benin Republic distributors received nearly US$3 Million for participating in the 2013 Chairman’s Bonus.

Speaking at The O2 Arena on the landmark award, FLP Nigeria Country Manager, Cornelius Tay, said “Nigeria’s destiny is to become No. 1 in FLP global sales”, adding that “although Nigeria’s distributors work under difficult and unfavourable conditions, the distributors remain united in purpose and have refused to allow adversity and challenges to stop them from achieving greatness”.

Earlier, President, FLP International Inc., Gregg Maughan, had disclosed that Forever’s goal is to be the best Multi Level Marketing company in the   world with a plan to pay US$20 Million annually in Chairman’s Bonus.
