Taofick Okoya, son of the industrialist and multimillionaire businessman Chief Razak Akanni Okoya owner of Eleganza Group, is a rather unusual man. Instead of staying back & relying on his family's wealth, Taofick chose to create his own business, and carve out a totally different niche. He set up FICO Solutions Nigeria Limited, the creators of the first ever set of Nigerian Fashion dolls tagged The Queens of Africa & Naija Princesses. The Queens of Africa program is dedicated, through the use of books, dolls, comics, music and animation series, to empower children of African descent and their counterparts, to be confident of their identity and to become mature, ethically. The dolls and materials are designed, through fun and engaging materials, to subconsciously promote African heritage. [img]http://1.bp..com/-1uJWpsiDx60/U7-WT4idIvI/AAAAAAADJ9M/SyQ3ezf93ts/s400/barbie-wedding-34.jpg[/img] Queens of Africa celebrates being an African girl in the 21st century by drawing on the strengths and achievements of our ancestors and bring them up to date to empower and inspire today's generation of African girls. [img]http://4.bp..com/-C8ltbx94yNY/U0RLqxNDC2I/AAAAAAAAAaA/4yiscdi0eko/s1600/barbie-wedding-034.jpg[/img] Each doll represents a different tribe of Africa. There is NNEKA (Igbo), AZEEZAH (Hausa) and WURAOLA (Yoruba) and they are sold in various outfits. The most popular ones are the dolls dressed in traditional attire. The dolls can be ordered from Amazon, the online store. It has been widely accepted in different parts of the world. "I got into the doll business by chance. At that time my daughter was young, and I realized she was going through an identity crisis,’ Taofick tells me when I reach out to the Lagos-based founder over the phone. He further adds, ‘She wished she was white, and I was trying to figure out where that came from." 2 Likes |

ADEWALE ALADEJANA FOUNDER/OWNER Source; http://www.nationalhelm.net/2017/05/2-years-ago-i-started-my-business-with.html A Nigerian entrepreneur, Adewale Aladejana, who owns sapphire scents - has shared how he started from the bottom to get to where he is (which is relatively a good place). The young man who said he started his business with 30,000 naira in 2015( 2years ago) - has met with a lot of top shots in Nigeria including former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.) and others. Yesterday the young man launched the sapphire scents 2 flagship stores in Lagos and Abuja. Read his words below; This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it. In April of 2015 sapphire scents started with just N30,000 today we are opening 2 showrooms in Lagos and Abuja! I want to encourage someone today, a little spark can become a fire, a little drop can become an ocean. Believe in what God has given you, don't look down on your talent and gifts, God is a world class God and whatever He gives you is world class! Banish small thinking! Although it's okay to start small but trust God for expansion and enlargement. These are the things God can do and it is marvelous in our eyes, I strip myself of every confidence and I give all glory to Jesus. You too can be a social media evangelist, kindly share and repost this Gospel of Jesus Christ so that others can be blessed just like you have been blessed. Thank you for reading.

hilroy: Let's keep it on this thread. Laudate suggested that we create a categorized list of the company first. As we go along, we will find ourselves making more categories. i.e companies that falls under health, retail, tech, etc. We may also need to create subcategories. But first things first, let's brainstorm on category taxonomies. Here goes my own: Health Retail Tech Auto Oil & Gas Education Pharmaceutical Home Improvement E-commerce Fintech Fashion Cosmetic Hair care SPA Toys Production Agriculture Agri Tech In addition, only companies owned/founded by Yorubas. CEOs (not founder) Managing directors is for another day. |
