Meet the Successful Nigerian Woman who makes a living selling Coconuts and everything made from it!

By Kemi Mobuse - Thursday, August 16, 2018

YES! YOU CAN BE DIFFERENT! That difference is your selling point!Embrace it!

I've always hated walking into made in Nigeria businesses and being handed a list of 101 services they offer. Listen, if your business is offering more than five services and you’re calling yourselves experts on all of them, you’re lying through your teeth. Funmi Coconuts kept her business model simple. She sold coconuts, and that was it. She didn’t try to get into the Food/events business. She didn’t attempt to sell seafood. She sold coconuts because that’s what she does best.

Funmi is more passionate about coconuts than most parents are about their kids. She knows every single fact, statistic and use a coconut could provide. She ate coconuts and studied coconuts. She used them as a conditioner and body lotion, to rehydrate her skin and made several unique by products from them. When KMB interviewed her, I didn’t feel Funmi was selling coconuts to me. I felt as though she was allowing me the privilege to share in her passion.

Excerpts from her interview below:

Laughline: 10 Qualities Every Maths Teacher In Nigeria Has...HEHE!

By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, August 08, 2018

All Mathematics teachers are more similar than you think especially in secondary school.

1. They can flog. It's like all maths teachers attended the Nigerian Flogging Academy 😏

When your teacher has been explaining bearing for 2 hours and he asks you what is bearing and you say "Uncle you've not taught us"

KMB interviews talented Cake Designer Tinna Okiy-Idahosa as she talks more on her Made in Nigeria Brand - TASTYCRAFT.NG

By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, August 08, 2018

I love cake so much it’s become a running joke between my husband and I. He’ll tease me by offering me cake if I do him a favour, trust me to run around and do it of course! . That’s because Cake is definitely my favourite dessert (with the exception of ice-cream of course) but there’s just something about cake — the rich, dense and intensely frosting-y kind — that other popular desserts just can’t stand up to.

Cake, when done right, has layers and to me More layers = more fun. And then, there’s the experience of eating the cake itself. If ever the sugary frosting is too much (usually never the case for me), you can count on the interior to balance things out. I love this juxtaposition more than anything. Just picture yourself digging your spoon into a slice of that. It’s good, isn’t it? Hehe! My blood sugar is rising just thinking of it.

So coming across the yummy cakes made by Made in Nigeria brand tastycraft is a wonderful reminder of my amazing love for cake and how special they make me feel…..

KMB interviewed the CEO (Tinna Okiy-Idahosa) who decorated her first cake back in secondary school and below are excerpts from the interview….

How to cook the perfect Fried RICE...

By Kemi Mobuse - Saturday, August 04, 2018

Nigerian Fried Rice! Hmmm!

The second most popular rice dish in Nigeria; A must have at parties and a major meal in most homes. It’s tagged “Nigerian Fried Rice” obviously cos there are various recipes out there but the popular African recipe is the Nigerian Fried Rice.

Now, there are several methods of cooking Nigerian Fried Rice. Some recipes call for parboiling of the rice and then adding stock and veggies, then cooking till done. Others require cooking the rice, adding cooking oil and stock and then fried veggies then cook till desired texture is achieved. These methods are classic and tested, however, I’ve always had my own method which is what I’ll be using.

Do you know You can turn your old shoes to new ones again rather than buy another?.Made in Nigeria brand "SHOE REVAMP" is our shoe saviour!

By Kemi Mobuse - Saturday, August 04, 2018

I have this great love for flat ballet pumps. I fell in love during my childhood watching kids practicing ballet dance on the TV and I couldn’t wait to travel out and join them. HEHE!
Unfortunately, my dream of becoming a prima ballerina was not achieved, but the love for ballet and ballet shoes remained.

I own several pairs of ballet pumps, and among was one green one I bought on H&M exactly six years ago. It’s now very old and extremely worn out. I love that shoe, but it's obvious that it had definitely seen better days.😣
Even though it no longer looked particularly great and had been worn into submission, but it’s so comfortable that I felt I had to save it and turn it into something gorgeous – probably a shiny silver flats.

Every one of us has a favorite shoe that makes us sad when they no longer look great and wished they could revamp it. Thankfully, all that will be made possible thanks to Made in Nigeria Shoe Revamp brand. Yayyy!!!!!

KMB had an interesting interview with Austin Okpagu, the Creative Director and he shed more light on the brand and the services rendered. Read below:

"TWICE A BRIDE" A captivating and enthralling fictional Romance Novel by Nigerian Author - Tope Omamegbe {MY REVIEW}

By Kemi Mobuse - Friday, August 03, 2018

I got to read Twice a Bride after having a chat with the talented AUTHOR. It was as if Tope knew how much of a Novel nerd I was. I dropped everything and sat down with it and within hours I was done. At the end, I was confused as to why the book had to end so soon, hian! 😒😒😒Bet why are you authors like this now?......

Tope Omamegbe’s Twice a bride was published June 2018 and it is a 5 Star phenomenal book. If you only read one book this year, it should be this one!
