Brands We Love: Zendvance
April 19, 2022
If there are any fixed facts about Nigeria’s financial system, it’s these two: there’s a huge demand for loans and a corresponding shortage of low cost funding sources. The banks, wary of losing their money to risky ventures, are charging double-digit interest rates and making other jaw-dropping requests of loan seekers. And when you’re a … Continue reading Brands We Love: Zendvance

Brands We Love: Bookcraft
April 19, 2022
When Nigerians think about publishing houses, they remember the labels on the textbooks from their school days. Those names, etched on the minds of the young and old alike, have become a part of the educated populace’s national experience. Bookcraft doesn’t quite fit into this mold; it’s not known principally for producing textbooks for school … Continue reading Brands We Love: Bookcraft
Brands we Love: Babban Gona
April 19, 2022
When Kola Masha founded Babban Gona, the space for privately run agriculture focused on social enterprises wasn’t a thing. And millions of farmers had to go it alone in the tough, unstable Nigerian market. Farming in Nigeria is no light-weight occupation. While there’s always the potential to reap bountiful profits from it, the conditions are … Continue reading Brands we Love: Babban Gona

Brands We Love: Seventh Space
April 19, 2022
Nigeria has far fewer living spaces than there are people who need them. Experts say the deficit could be 20 million housing units. And that number keeps rising by the day. It’s this sort of alarming statistic that inspired Kanyinsade Ademosun, a Lagos based architect, to start up Seventh Space. But he didn’t set out … Continue reading Brands We Love: Seventh Space
Brands We Love: Intelia
April 19, 2022
The world being built before our eyes is one that’s driven by data and digital technology. Websites, apps, the cloud, chatbots, and the Internet of Things are more than just buzzwords; they are the structures on which much of everyday life in the present is founded. Software developers, like the team at Intelia, are the … Continue reading Brands We Love: Intelia

Brands We Love: Cassava Republic
April 19, 2022
Beginning in the early 2000s, a new generation of Nigerian publishing houses began to appear. They were daring enterprises; there was promise bubbling underneath the surface, but the surface looked barren. It cried out for pioneers willing to plough through the lack of interest in books and the arts in general. Cassava Republic was one … Continue reading Brands We Love: Cassava Republic
Brands We Love: Paga
April 19, 2022
It’s hard to find a financial services firm that comes closest to marrying new tech with good old on-site presence as Paga does. Its growing army of agents are stationed in towns and cities across Nigeria, providing people with some of the benefits they’d get from using a formal bank, but without the associated hassles. … Continue reading Brands We Love: Paga
Brands We Love: Hegai & Esther
April 19, 2022
Hegai & Esther might strike you as an interesting name for a beauty brand- unless you follow the industry closely enough. That line of business is something of a paradise for exotic looking nomenclature, ranging from interesting attempts at anglicizing their founders’ names, to wonderfully weird, other-worldly terms. But this one is more than a … Continue reading Brands We Love: Hegai & Esther
Brands We Love: Kachifo
April 19, 2022
Nigeria’s book publishing scene appears to be bubbling with renewed vigour. Where once the overwhelming material pushed out to the market was textbooks and low-quality tales in print, there’s been a rise in the number of creative fiction, autobiographical works and political literature put out to bookstores on an annual basis. A small band of … Continue reading Brands We Love: Kachifo
Brands We Love: Rite Foods
April 19, 2022
If you’re a Nigerian sausage roll aficionado (as many commuters in the country’s towns and cities are), you’ll almost certainly have heard about, seen or consumed a Rite Food product. Their sausage rolls are among the bigger snack brands that help fill the guts of hungry people on the go, whether they’re at work, at … Continue reading Brands We Love: Rite Foods
