Bro, keep it up... you are on your way to fame and fortune. Obviously you have spent time and money doing research. These people who don't know the difference between legumes and grains will come here and try to pull you down. Nairaland is not the right place for constructive criticism anymore. You need to get in touch with a PR & branding expert to grow your brand. Keep innovating and improving!

It will not be easy but you have to persevere.

So I decided to look up online again to be sure before I answer you.

Maybe you didn`t look at the pix where it is written "whole-grain cereal flour".

Look at the attached pix and check if you really made sense.

I have been seeing on Nairaland how people start up their own fish farming or snail farming to inspire others.


So here is mine

It`s no longer news that we have been encouraged to diversify and look away from oil, and with the scarcity of jobs and even the way those who have a job are being laid off, I decided to give myself and others job. What did I eventually come up with? A breakfast cereal used for making porridge (pap or ogi or akamu)

I'm going to explain how I started mine.

First I learnt how to make the cereal (composition And the process). Then I proceeded to go into the different markets to purchase the different cereals.

unlike the normal cereal we have in the market (I won't call names) that is made up of only maize or some who are kind enough would add soya to the maize and sometimes sugar.

this cereal is made up of highly nutritious components and is rich in iron and fiber contents. Namely:

wheat, millet, Groundnut, Fonio, Tiger nut, E.coracana (Finger millet), Guinea corn, Special white rice & ginger etc.

It is very good for everyone from babies, to children to adults even up to the elderly.


instead of buying pap in the market that has been open and house flies most times perching on it and doing parade, I decided to bring something that is very hygienic and well covered.

It is good for everyone.

I am not saying it cures diabetes or arthritis or ulcer patients, (cause it has not been proven to do that) but it is very good for people suffering from arthritis, ulcer, HBP etc especially when you take the cereal while taking your drugs as prescribed.

it also helps to burn fat and also add weight..

Contradicting right?? Nah!!!!

What I mean is it helps to burn fat for those who are overweight and adds body weight to those who are underweight... Strange but true.

For children and babies, they'll love it very well cos the taste and aroma is second to none.

And for those who need fresh skin? Hmmmm!!! You need to take a look at my skin to confirm it. Those who have met me in person can attest to that


Follow me as I show the process how I packaged it and how to prepare it.

Find below pics of the various components.

Millet
Guinea corn
Tiger nut
Ginger
please with which of these grains do you grind the groundnut with?

No I did not.

However after preparing it you can add sugar and milk to your taste.

So let me explain how I packaged it.

I went to the market to buy the cereals, then washed then properly cos of dust, dirt and stones.

Then proceeded to dry them

Whatever happened to this project?
