Alabukun, our Nightmare in those days, we prefer the sweeter 'Lailai'. dat reminds me, where are these drugs, Phensic, After-five, Daga, forgotten the others. when u remember the blanket over u with a big pot of steaming hot 'agbo' you'll think twice about falling sick.

Like the humble kolanut, Alabukun powder is one of the unifying items in Nigeria. It is very popular and there is virtually no home in the country where one or more members have not been in touch with or used Alabukun. Even without any considerable adverts, it beats all competitors and foreign brands hands down. Grandmothers swear by its healing powers while men claim it is their aphrodisiac. Yes, it is that popular. Cheap and easily recognizable, it is found everywhere. From headaches to voice troubles to stomach upsets to general body pain, Alabukun is the ultimate magic cure for millions of Nigerians. Some even take it to the dark side as they mix the whitish powder in a cold bottle of Sprite, swirl and swallow (some say they combine it with lime), as their drug for aborting pregnancies. Good or bad, the Alabukun brand has persisted and today, we will take a look at the history of the man behind it all:

What amazes me has been the success of their supply chain strategy and the logistics method used in distributing Alabukun to the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. cool This is no mean feat, considering the peculiar challenges encountered on our shores, in moving stuff from one city to another! shocked

I have said it before on another thread - the strength of Alabukun as an indigenous brand, should be used as a case study in Nigerian universities. And someone should please do a documentary on the late Pa Odulate, to document his achievements for posterity! wink
