Described as “The New Generation Entrepreneur” by Daily Independent (a top Nigerian newspaper) cos of his ability to market content which is appealing to everyone even under the harshest conditions.

Since the launch in late 2017, it has amassed the world’s largest online African Food Recipe content catalogue. It is one of the biggest food website in Africa and quite unique as its first of its kind.
