Over 2 decades ago after my National Youth Service Corps (a program set up by the Nigerian government in 1973 to involve Nigerian graduates in nation building and the development of the country) Year, there was a pressing need to change my location in search of greener pastures as the first born of a family of seven.
This was necessary because I couldn’t imagine myself being additional burden to my parents who were Civil Servants. The pastures in my state were not green enough to assuage my hunger, so I moved to Lagos in search of greener ones.
Within 2 weeks of arrival, I survived food poison apparently from contaminated food products – I was very lucky to have survived it; not everyone is that lucky.
In 2020, World Health Organisation reported that an estimated 600 million (almost 1 in 10 people in the world) fall ill after eating contaminated food and 420,000 die every year as a result. This is alarming.
This near-death food poisoning experience necessitated the idea of solving the problem of food related ailments by providing healthy food products. The idea which was conceived over twenty years ago was birthed in 2018 – Did I hear you say, “Long gestation period”?
During this long gestation period, I found myself grazing in different greener pastures (in the fields of Infrastructure, Telco and Oil & Gas) with Marketing/Sales, Customer Service and HR functions.

It carefully sources, processes and packages natural and unadulterated food condiments from known farmers thus, guaranteeing quality.

Other products line has been added in the course of the growth of the company.
