Mike and Garry Robinson loved a particular drink from their childhood which they could only get in Nigeria in their childhood that its memory followed them to their adulthood.

A soft drink made with fruits and bitters was how they remembered it, and they told The Courier that it’s always been their dream to commercially produce the drink in the UK.

“After leaving school, Garry and I both became professional squash players but it has always been our dream to commercially produce this drink,” Mike said.

We’ve always had a dream of bringing it to market. We went to various drinks companies, but many only want an energy drink or a fruit drink. We were taking them a drink that had a unique taste.

They finally got a company to sign up for the production of the drinks, and the brothers decided to call their drink “Ikoyi Chapman.”

Ikoyi Chapman is already being sold in bars in some parts of the UK, and the brothers hope people will soon start seeing it in supermarkets.

I love stories like this, they saw opportunity and market and are quick to grab it. The hibiscus flowers (zobo) we drink here and there if it was in an advance countries some one would have made it into bottles like a soft drink.

Culture vultures doing what they're best known for. With the large population of Nigerian British, Nigerian illegals and Nigerian tourists these white men want to have their share of our collective wealth.

Out of curiosity I'll try this drink once, twice or thrice. I don't remember such a drink so they've caught me mugu this time.

Absolutely splendid.

They visit, they find an untapped opportunity, they refine it, export it, leave with it, no trademarks, no legal tussles, they own it, recreate it, repackage it, and make a damn fortune from it; the real owners? Enmeshed in theatrical charades back home.

Kudos to these two. Quite commendable that they made reference to the source in the selection of a name for the groundbreaking product.

I envisage very soon, Ikoyi Chapman will be imported by Nigerians and sold at bars with a £1.50 mark on it .

Exactly what we do with our main source of forex, crude oil. I just love my country.

Good luck to them in their commercial venture
