This is true of Tajudeen Afolabi Adeola, a Nigerian businessman , who is a member of the Commission for Africa.



In 2000, he established the FATE Foundation, a non-governmental organization which encourages entrepreneurship, using a mix of training, mentoring, loan support and consulting to support young Nigerians.


The FATE Foundation has so far served more than 30,000 young Nigeria entrepreneurs. In all these places, Adeola has displayed his unequal expertise and virtuosity.

[size=18pt]Nigeria's first gift-card startup SureGifts[/size]

NIGERIAN ECOMMERCE FIRM SUREGIFTS PLANS PAN-AFRICAN EXPANSION

[size=14pt]Following a widespread global adoption, Lagos-based online gift cards company, Suregifts, has begun moves to expand to South Africa and Ghana – two countries where it has noticed significant user base.
[/size]

Founded by Adeoye Ojo, Babafemi Lawal, and Olaoluwa Samuel-Biyi, Suregifts launched January 2014 to enable individual and corporate clients purchase gift vouchers from leading retailers such as Samsung, SPAR/Park ‘n’ Shop, Jumia etc.

Since launch, it has received orders from 17 countries across 4 continents, done hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and powered employee/customer rewards for over 50 local and international companies like McKinsey & Company, KPMG, DHL, UBA, Oando, FBN Capital, Jobberman, HP, Dangote Sugar and Wema Bank etc.

“We have been able to change the orientation of many executives and HR professionals to see the multiple advantages of using gift cards for employee and customer rewards; we have consequently seen tremendous growth in adoption.”, says Suregifts Co-founder, Adeoye Ojo.

DHL International Nigeria has been a Suregifts client for over a year now. Its HR Admin & Systems Manager Mr Tolulope Ajibade says: “Gift cards have removed the stress of deciding and procuring gift items for staff. Our employees also prefer the option, as they now have control to choose the precise gift they want. Suregifts has really made the rewards and recognitions programme more robust and satisfying.”

As parts of its expansion plans, Suregifts recently launched a new website with introduced several features to boost user-experience. Customers can now choose card designs based on the occasion, attach video messages, and have gift cards delivered to recipients via e-mail or even SMS. Another new feature is the print-at-home option for deliveries, where customers who want to present the gift card in-person can do so.

Suregifts has received investments from local and international investors like Venture Garden Group (VGG) and Africa Angels Network (AAN), and is looking to roll out operations in other countries by year-end.

“We’re strengthening the gifting and rewards process for individuals and corporate organizations in Nigeria, and soon, across Africa.” Adeoye Ojo concludes.

In 2007, Taofick Okoya, created a doll that Nigerian girls could identify with
43-year-old based his Queens of Africa dolls on country's biggest tribes
They cost roughly £4.50 and aim to promote strong feminine ideals


A man who couldn't find a black doll in the shops as a gift for his niece decided to take matters into his own hands.
In 2007, Taofick Okoya, 43, created his own doll that Nigerian girls could identify with by recreating their skin colour and style - and it is now so successful that it is outselling Barbie.
The doll, which is called Queens of Africa, comes with traditional outfits and accessories and costs around £4.50.

The dolls' look is modelled on three of the country's biggest tribes and aims to promote strong feminine ideals, like love, peace and endurance.
The doll is now so popular that, according to Reuters, it is selling up to 9,000 units a month - a staggering 15 per cent of the country's toy market.
But the Queens of Africa aren't just selling in their home country.
Thanks to the doll's online presence, customers are coming from as far as America, Brazil and Europe.

[size=18pt]Showroom.ng
[/size]


The business side of things

As far as the local technology scene is concerned, Sheriff Shittu is a veteran of sorts, having started his first online venture as far back as 2005 – when he was barely 18, and at least 5 years before what is now widely regarded as the local tech ecosystem began to materialize. There were only about 500,000 Nigerians on the internet at the time.

Showroom.ng is totally bootstrapped and Shittu plans to keep it that way for a while. The idea is to grow the startup at a steady pace. The timeline between when the idea was conceived to when it was launched was a mere 30 days. For Shittu, despite the steady growth, Showroom.ng is still very much at the validation phase.

“What is important now is making sure our economics make sense”, says Shittu, “making steady revenue and keeping customers happy”. Shittu tells us revenue levels are currently in the 6 figure range.


Going forward

One of the things Showroom.ng looks to improve on is originality and expert input. “We want to make sure that we have more home decor experts in our network, so that more original content would be developed”, says Shittu.


The idea is not only to generate original designs but also enter full-on into home decor – bundling and delivery of interior design packages for customers. Backed by his invaluable experience in online business, Shittu believes strongly in the power of technology to efficiently deliver this vision.

[size=14pt]“We are looking at building Showroom.ng to become Nigeria’s biggest online furniture platform, Shittu tell us. “We are hopeful that in the next 5 years we should be able to build a company worth nothing less than $50 million, in terms of value we have delivered to customers, the revenue we generate, the number of goods that we sell and the number of millionaires that we would have created from the network of furniture makers we have on board”.
[/size]

About those millionaire furniture makers, Shittu reckons they can make “hundreds of thousands” of those by 2020. That would be no small feat.

Nigeria’s first indigenous chocolate manufacturer/ owns the largest chocolate factory in Africa
[/size]

OLADIMEJI OWOFEMI Founder and CEO of MULTI-TREX FOODS.
Multi-Trex was registered in 1999 as a cocoa beans merchant. Leveraging on the twelve-year Cocoa commerce experience of its CEO, the company, at the outset, bought Cocoa beans from its select group of local suppliers, including cooperative union of farmers, processed and exported them to its customers that are mainly in Europe.

In 2003, the company expanded its business operation to include processing of cocoa beans into semi-finished industrial products i.e. Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Cake. Then, it exclusively hired the facility of the Nigeria’s premier cocoa processing plant, Cocoa Industries Limited (CIL), Ikeja, Lagos. The partnership arrangement with CIL afforded the company the opportunity to retrain the generality of its staff and generally prepare it for manufacturing business.

As a result of the success recorded in the trial manufacturing operation at CIL, the company, over the period 2004 and 2005, resolved to invest in the construction of its own factory and acquire a cocoa processing plant of 10,000mt of cocoa beans capacity. The manufacturers of the main equipment are DUYVIS, CAOTECH and G.W. BARTH

In funding the project, the company enjoyed the support of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank [NEXIM], Abuja, Nigeria and Eko International Bank plc, Lagos, Nigeria (which later became one of the constituent banks that together transformed to Skye Bank Plc).

Multi-Trex commenced cocoa processing at its strategically located factory on October 1, 2005 and the factory was commissioned on February 1, 2006 by the nation’s former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Multi-Trex’s products enjoy good reputation in the international market for its superior quality and packaging. The activities of the company’s workforce are closely guided by detailed serialized operating manuals. Still on the integrity of processes, a number of valuable management reports are regularly prepared for sound decision making.

The company, since inception, has always enjoyed good relationships with all the manufacturers of its equipment.

[size=18pt]TAYO AYENI CEO and Founder of SKYMIT MOTORS[/size]

In the comity of auto dealers in Nigeria and beyond, Tayo Ayeni, the chairman/chief executive officer of Skymit Limited stands out; not because of a towering physique or rich parentage, but because Ayeni and his automobile company have come a long way in an industry known for stillborns and short trajectories.
At an age when his peers were still undecided as to which course their life was going, Ayeni had already started his, establishing Skymit Limited, a high net-worth automobile company in 1986. He was in his early 20s. Over two decades after, the company has grown beyond the starry-eyed projections of the founder, spewing an offshoot like Affordable Cars Limited, a low and medium car sales and service outfit, while establishing Ayeni as one of those rare Nigerians who envision rose growing out of concrete and nurtured and watered the vision until it blooms for the world to see. Today, Skymit Limited turns over in excess of N2billion yearly and keeps hundreds of Nigerians comfortably out of the labour market.
A product of the famous Ilesha Grammar School in his native Ilesha, Osun State, Tayo Ayeni's educational odyssey propelled him to Fronsynly Polytechnic, Italy where he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Since then, he has channeled all his talents and resources into making a name for himself in business. Apart from Skymit, Ayeni also calls the shots at Space Ventures Ltd which is into photographic materials; Space Properties, a real estate firm; Moontrends Holdings, a project financing and management firm, and Limoserve among others. A member of the Nigerian-Italian Alumni, Nigeria-South Africa Chambers of Commerce, Ikoyi Club, Lagos Country Club, the 47-year-old businessman is not one to traipse the whole place with bundles of cash, having his praises sung by musicians or living life on the fast lane. Instead, Tayo Ayeni has remained true to character, upholding the ideal that success is better defined by one's contributions to the development of humanity which explains his far-reaching philanthropic activities across the country.
Happily married to Adetutu, pioneer Managing Director of Skymiles Travels and Tours Limited, a member of the advisory Council of the prestigious Grange School and successful lawyer, the couple is blessed with five kids and a domestic felicity that Tayo Ayeni's business successes have found unassailable.

Incorporated in 1986, Skymit Motors Limited is one the leading automobile company. They became fully operational 1987 and over the years Skymit Limited has grown from leaps and bounds judging from its yearly average gross sales of approximately N2 Billion last year.
CORPORATE MISSION
Skymit Limited prides itself as one of the leading auto companies in Nigeria. The entry of the company into the automobile industry is to cater for the needs of a selected group of Nigeria's corporate organizations and high-net worth individuals who are in dire need of corporate, sleek but durable cars at affordable prices, packaged and tailored towards their financial status and personality.
Skymit mission is to bridge the gap whereby all ranges of the latest model of cars are displayed within few weeks that the cars are released into the market, all in one premises; unlike in the case of many other auto companies where only fewer and outdated models/brands are displayed, thereby limiting prospective buyers to fewer choices.
Skymit intends to be a leader in the auto-world in Nigeria by striving to improve upon its affiliated branch network and in the next few years open an Assembly Plant for a major car model.

Igbos see marriage as a very important institution, so we take very good care of our wives unlike other tribes who marry all over the place and treat their wivies as trash.
