By Juliet Umeh

QNET Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to ethical direct selling, youth empowerment, and product transparency as it launched its Lagos product Workshop Expo on Friday.

The event was aimed to educate journalists on the company’s certified wellness and lifestyle products ahead of the Lagos Product Expo.

Speaking at the event, General Manager of QNET Nigeria, Ayokunmi Solesi, said the strong turnout at last week’s Abuja edition, which attracted over 8,000 participants, demonstrated public interest in genuine wellness and lifestyle solutions.

He said: “These events allow our independent distributors and the public to engage directly with our products, and we hope to sustain that momentum in Lagos.”

Solesi stressed that QNET, now in its 27th year, operates in Nigeria through its local partner, TransBlue, which manages logistics, security, compliance, and customer service.

“Through this partnership, we are able to empower young people and aspiring entrepreneurs, one of our core objectives,” he added.

He also urged journalists to help dispel longstanding misconceptions about the direct selling industry.

“Many confuse legitimate companies like ours with Ponzi schemes. We do not pay commissions without product sales; our focus is always on certified, quality products,” he said.

Solesi invited journalists and attendees to experience the products firsthand and engage directly with the company’s team.

Also speaking, Regional General Manager for QNET Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr. Cheriff Abdoulaye, further underscored the company’s ethical business practices.

He highlighted QNET’s 2025 anti-scam campaign, which dismantled a network misusing the QNET name and led to the termination of over 400 unethical representatives across 22 countries.

Abdoulaye also noted the company’s “FinGreen” financial literacy programme, which has equipped more than 1,500 Nigerian youths with practical skills to reduce vulnerability to scams and misinformation.

Abdoulaye said: “Our business is about products, high-quality wellness and lifestyle solutions, and ethical entrepreneurship. Responsible direct selling provides low-entry barriers, flexible income opportunities, and essential skills for Africa’s growing youth population.”

He called on regulators, media, and the public to closely examine QNET’s operations and witness its commitment to transparency and sustainable micro-entrepreneurship.

Similarly, Regional Strategy and Marketing Manager, Bernieg Gaksch, showcased QNET’s innovative wellness products designed for modern lifestyle challenges such as stress, pollution, and exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

He introduced the Bio Disc, Chi Pendant, and eGuard X, emphasizing their benefits for energy balance, hydration, sleep quality, and protection against harmful frequencies.

“Our products combine the science of nature with everyday health solutions. Modern wellness is not just about physical health, but also mental, emotional, and environmental well-being,” Gaksch explained.

Gaksch highlighted collaborations with international experts, including Dr. Beverly Rubik of NASA and Prof. Dr. Konstantin Khorkov of Russia’s Cosmonaut Programme, as well as local research partnerships with Covenant University to validate product efficacy.

The Lagos Media Expo continues over the weekend with product demonstrations, interactive sessions, and media engagements, aimed at deepening public understanding of QNET’s operations and promoting responsible entrepreneurship.
