The enterprise and "I can do spirit" of the Igbos can be found in different industries, from artisans to Tech, Academics to even agriculture, and all worth not, The South East is a region blessed with creative and enterprising people with a strong penchant for hustling. The Easterners, just like the 3 wise men in the biblical anecdote, are blessed beyond measure.

In this guise, an emerging section of entertainment and fun, the "surprise" industry is blossoming across the length and breadth of this country. Something that started via event management has become a standalone industry with creativity embellished and creatives breaking new ground in that space. We have seen so many top names from this part of the world, their amazing and never-seen ideas, and how they go about it. It is now a beauty to see them plan events from marriage engagements, to birthdays and public places with aesthetically pleasing makeshift location designs.

Back to the Igbos, there's this saying that once an Igbo person gets hold of an idea, they either amplify it to the highest heavens or create a replica to take over the original/former. Here comes a certain Amazon from the town with the highest concentration of millionaires per population in Africa, Nnewi. A selfless and embodied individual who can do any and everything if given the opportunity. She has a well-laid background in the catering and delicacy industry, much thanks to her father Mr. Ibezim Ojukwu who owns one of the most successful fast food chains and culinary schools in Anambra and by extension, South East.

Divine Ojukwu(aka ChefDee), the CEO of Chefdee Surprise started as a chef, who makes food for people who might be too busy to fix one or maybe can't make one, to expanding and floating a "surprise packaged outfit." Her transition did not take most people who knew her by surprise, cos she has always had this penchant for packaging every one of her products beautifully and her cling on excellence is legendary.

She has over the years put smiles to hundreds of clients who called her for jobs, has been a major boost to beautifying celebrations and events and has also added the latest technological advances to her approach to work even as her name is felt beyond the five southeast states. The energy she infuses into her service is out of this world, as she leads from the front most times to deliver their exquisite services, no matter the location. Since she got into the game, it has been from one growth story to the other, we hope to see how big they grow in the coming years even as they expand their tentacles beyond the shores of their comfort zone.

Have you met chef Gospel...he's the owner of mitchspice.

Continue working hard my sister.
