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

Virgos lounge
In my opinion, there’s nothing more rewarding than doing what you absolutely love and are passionate about. A few years ago, three fashion savy, vintage loving Virgos; Oyeyemi Wemi- Akinsola, Adenike Ajanaku & Fioye Akinsola got together and started a blog (www.virgosloungeblogspot.com), where they talked fashion, vintage clothing and let us in on their stylish wardrobes which consisted of more than a few vintage items. Their blog had a refreshing take on fashion, and their love and use of vintage styling in their personal wardrobes got the fashion audience interested in these three Virgos. Fast forward to 2011 and Virgos Lounge is much more than a blog. Their love for all things vintage has grown into an entrepreneurial vision, as they have established an online vintage store which aims to supply classic vintage pieces. When they started, the vision for virgoslounge.com was to create a platform to sell specially sourced vintage items, with some altered to give a modern and fashionable twist. However, as their business grew, so did their vision for it. Now not only do they source for vintage clothes, they also design their own vintage inspired pieces.

He told The Guardian: “When I first came up with “Poundo yam”, I remember a British/Nigerian multinational company wanted to also introduce their “Poundo Yam” in 1988 in England. The company had to retreat. I made them to retreat, because, theirs was flakes, and when you prepare it, you will find lumps there. Mine was genuine and it was through innovation, research, and we are always aiming for the best.” Although he was also doing Borehole prospecting, that was his entry into food processing through the bottling of palm wine. Thirty years after, Aiyegbusi’s is known as the man who makes canned palm wine. Though considered expensive, his “poundo yam” also sells globally. “Do you know that my biggest selling product right now is plantain chips, “ipekere”, ordinary “ipekere?” They eat it in Russia, Scotland, Taiwan, USA, South Africa, because it’s a snack, just the “ipekere” and people worry me and say oh; “when we go back, can we eat your plantain chip, because we cannot get it here;” and I said, ‘well, because the money to set up the production or operation was sourced from overseas, so that’s when I am going to pay my loan back.” Aiyegbusi was one of the brains behind former Governor Segun Oni’s yam and tuberous crops preservation project at Ilasa-Ekiti, Ekiti State. “All I needed was 1400 pounds to start. From my mini cabin, I have only saved 800 pounds.” His wife said: “Don’t worry, my total savings is 630 pounds, I will give you 600, you join with your 800 pounds. Let’s go and start, God will bless you.” Within three months, Aiyegbusi had a turnover of 10,000 pounds (Ten thousand Pounds)! Then he thought he was on top of the world. Today, his food business worldwide now has a turn over close to about 0.7 Billion Naira from 1,400 pounds. tundeakingbade.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/aiyegbusi-from-n7-500-in-wifes-kitchen-to-n700m-turnover-in-food-processing-business/
