Adenike Ogunlesi is a Nigerian woman who founded the brilliantly-named children's clothing business, Ruff ‘N' Tumble, in Lagos in 1996. It has become a great success story and exports along the West African coast.


Adenike Ogunlesi is the founder and chief executive of Ruff 'N' Tumble an indigenous clothing company in Nigeria that specialises in children's clothing. From a tiny shop with her and her mother as the main staff, Adenike aka Nike turned Ruff 'n' Tumble into an instantly recognizable brand. She has built a reputation for being one of the best manufacturers of children's clothing in Nigeria.

"My kids ran out of pajamas. And I used to make clothing for women. So I decided that I'd just make some pajamas for my kids. "

In her second year as an undergraduate law student at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Adenike opted out of school unsure of what to do with her life. She then reluctantly accepted her mother's invitation to work in her womens tailor shop. That experience helped her to discover who she was and what she wanted to do.She is yet another university graduate that never practiced her profession for one day. Trained as a lawyer at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, her father had wanted her to get into a high profile legal practice. But that was not to be. She refused to live out her fathers script. But her mother who made quite an in road into fashion in Ibadan in the early 60s and 70s, asked her to stay with her. Within one year, she said she discovered herself.


"I started in 1996, I was selling from the back of my car, I was selling at bazaars. Everywhere, there was a bazaar, I was there, my table and my suit case, my children and sometimes even my husband. So it all started then."

Today Ruff 'N' Tumble is a thriving business with 50 employees and distribution along the West African coast.

"We don't export now. Export to the West African coast, yes, all along the West African coast, yes, but to say, America or to England, I'm not interested in it at all. If 40 percent of the 120 million people in Nigeria are children, I have the potential of a huge market here."

Adenike was featured in the Africa Open for Business documentary and was recognized as the Fate Foundation Model Entrepreneur in 2005.
She is a mentor to Junior Achievement of Nigeria and the Fate Foundation.

Typical Igbo loser.Nnamdi Azikiwe,the first graduate amongst the Igbos in 1930+ also deluded himself and his people that they had many educated people while the truth was he was the only and first Igbo graduate by which time Yorubas had produced doctors,lawyers,engineers etc while he was Igboland very 1st graduate .
Ojuku too deluded himself and the gullible Igbos that he had the best army in Africa even with his sticks wielding and patch patch deadbeat old world war weapons gifted them by France.
It is not a surprise to see another Ojuku saying that they have even half of the businesses owned by the hardworking Yorubas.Even the world knows you do not come close to the Yorubas in businesses home and abroad and this thread and the Igbo' empty,steal urhobo and other people's businesses' thread is an attestation of the ingenuity and versatile nature of the Yorubas.
Every index shows that you need a lot of catching up to do.

......For as long as Igbos are of extreme confidence of their socio-economic potential, and demanding to extricate themselves from you less confidence Yorubas, Igbos are above Yorubas in overall human endeavors. Is only natural for rich countries through their immigration laws to restrict poor people from migrating into their societies because they are better than those poor people, but here, Yorubas who are above Igbos in overall human endeavors are unity beggers with socio-economic advantages tilted towards them. Will they stand a chance with the Igbos if in reverse, the Igbos have the advantages of the major international airport, the major sea port and higher concentration of infrastructure??. Is not a level playing field and the Igbos are still winning.

Mere rants devoid of any verifiable & authentic facts, as usual. Baseless boasting is in some people' DNA. A sure sign of inferiority complex.

Yorubas are miles ahead of Igbos. Kiss the truth.

Verify what?. That Igbo per capita income is not higher than yoruba again?. All these "lets fill up the pages" positings doesn't change the facts that Igbos are still leading in most sectors like importation, commerce and industry, transportation, sports, beauty/fashion, education, diaspora remmitances, real estate, indigenous manufacturing. Should I continue?.

Always igbo and yoruba rivalry.
Yoruba posted this to show superiority over igbos, while igbos are trying to overlook all these achievements and undermine them.

It's so childish

Truth is both tribes are equally outstanding. Have their strengths and weaknesses.

The igbos have the least amount of people living below poverty line (In Nigeria). That means they have individually rich/comfortable life going for them

While the Yorubas have a higher number of multinationals and lower class as well.

My piece.
