- Chika Russell and her entourage of West African dancers are seeking an investment of £30,000 to grow her food range offering a “taste of the exotic”. She's willing to give away 5% of her West-African inspired snacks company, Chika's. With five deals on the table, which of our Dragons will snatch this deal?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Just from the title I can tell Jenny isn’t one of the dragons in this pitch
Underrated comment. Up!
I totally agree
🤣
Jenny: I don't have a nut allergy, but my neighbor does and for that reason I can't *cashew* in on this opportunity
🤣
Touker liked that performance a bit *too* much...
He didn't need a cushion on his lap did he? 😂🤣
@@OakApplegardens LOL
Peter pretending not to be impressed but didn't miss a movement :-)
We all know what he meant by "Touker time" lol
Hahhaa
"It's almost as if their bottoms are disconnected from their backs"
- Peter Jones
That's one for the history books
Peter Jones is an absolute king
His straight face kept what was really going on in his mind hidden 😂
He can't wait for Chika and the girls to teach him all about nut roasting... after hours
@@AlwaysLearning2024 I would have been the one with Peter's face like cut the crap already and go to the point. It's just cringy ...
"I know what i'm doing. I'm already doing it. But I can do it better" - I really love this line!
My new life motto 🙏
@@PurplePinkRed mine too she is such an inspiration
am going to tell this to people who wants to invest in my business
It’s a Nigerian saying
That was amazing. That sort of combination of confidence and humility is sorely lacking in all walks of life, let alone an aspiring entrepreneur. She's brilliant, and she deserves every measure of success.
It turns out she said no to peter, secured £800,000 investment, is stocked in waitrose and sainsburys (I presume amongst others), whilst also helping schools in nigeria. Future dragon for sure.
That's awesome. Well done to her!
your info is not correct
source?
@@amaradumbuya2099 I've provided evidence for my claim, now where's yours that it is not correct?
@@thedunyadoneya2628 👍 Thankyou for posting this information, greatly appreciated 😊
Touker needs to chill this is the happiest I’ve ever seen him in the den
I like Touker too...pure heart
Yep.... he was picturing himself sat with her in a hot tub drinking Champagne with her probably.
I’m sure he wants to show her some of his office space
The dancing at the beginning definitely Touker-ed him up!
@@itzajdmting hahahhahahahahhah lmfaaooo😂😂
The dragons always get so pissed off when somebody doesn’t immediately snap up their offers and actually wants to negotiate😂
That would stop me choosing them though
Hannah Baxter 😳 you, just 😳.
I guess its bc they feel like they've been snubbed
It’s a way to manipulate the chooser. Makes them feel pressured and likely make the wrong decisions
They have huge and fragile egos and are greedy as hell.
I don't get, why did she go for Peter? I think Nick and Sarah combined would have been a great strength to build on.
I agree.
Because Peter was the opposite of needy. She's not a businesswoman. She's just a woman.
@@RealityCheck6T9 dam that's a reality check right there
Peter made Levi roots a multi millionaire. That probably had something to do with it.
Maybe she's after Peter's reggae reggae sauce
Peter sees the sexy ladies dancing: -_-
Peter sees the chance to make tonnes of cash: 0_0
@B.D W Maybe he thought his wife would be watching lol.
Sexy? Jesus Christ Get your head checked
Peter can't wait to get his nuts roasted by them 😂😂
@@Princess240p Jesus Christ just told me, he is with the psychiatrist and doing quite fine thanks.
Nick Jenkins was the funniest. That embarrassed look when they walked in and he was clearly attracted to them! 😂
0:40 Touker thinking of where to put the girls in his London office space.
More like in his london dungeon
From the dance to her speech to the little frown on her face she makes when she gets an offer showing she was mentally considering her offers, I loved every bit. Shed some bit of tears too maybe because she's Nigerian like me and she killed it with her heads held high. It's not easy to have five dragons bidding for your company shares and making them anxious while you ask them what they bring to the table. Loved it. Kudos to the production guys for taking time to portray the little details in the sessions for us. Makes it more interesting
Peter is ruthless. He knew she was keen on him and stuck to his guns whilst the other dragons frantically re negotiated to join forces to seal a deal. Very shrewd , resolute , and confident
It’s because he knows what he’s worth and what he can bring to the table
Touker always has great contacts, always has Touker Time & plenty of office/warehouse space.
@Martin Shepherd it sounds like it starts with a hand on the knee and progresses from there
Touker probably has offices in Nigeria
Yeah, when he started the sentence "I have" at 5:02 I was expecting him to say offices.
So proud of my country people!!! Naija to the world! 🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️
Yes o
Cringe
Yayy. All the best. This was really sweet. She knew what she was doing
Carribean is better
How do you feel about the penalty takers of recent.
Finally something good about Nigeria on the internet. We’ve disgraced ourselves in multiple countries and the world sees us as scammers and greedy people but I’m glad aunty chika is showing them how Nigerians are Such sweet and amazing people with vision and goals. I love Nigeria
She killed it...she's a real business woman
This girl is cool. She seems down to earth. She smashed it in there. Could watch her again.... and again haha
@@simonrussell3569 and again
LMAO
These products actually taste absolutely amazing. My gym used to serve these and it’s exactly as she’s advertised it. Great woman and entrepreneur.
My local COOP store stocks the rice crisps. They are actually incredible. So addictive. The dragons clearly enjoyed them which is why they all said yes.
She's beautiful, authentic, a huge go getter and head strong.. I freaking love her!! I'm actually glad that in the end she turned down Peter and went the way she did because she's doing it big, funding schools in her home country. We also have to know her husband wasn't a poor man when she came into the Den either. This woman worked her ass off being the youngest of 7!! Hell she owned 2 properties by like she 24.. I'm 43 and want to be her when I grow up 😆😆
I love how straight and unapologetic she is. I also like how commanding she is. She isn't domineering, but she leads.
She's going to make it. Maybe with this, maybe not. But she's going to make it. She just needs to be a bit more decisive.
You're very analytical aren't you?
I don't always love the titles of these vids, but they sure as hell make quarantine more bearable. So thank you, and wishing you health in this weird time.
13:13-13:20 The way Nick tried to hurry her on and Touker abruptly stopped him had me dying 🤣🤣🤣 Nick is so underrated and understatedly funny! He’s defo one of my favourite dragons!
"Hey I have a food business that also wants to expand the brand online"
The Dragon who made millions on a food business and the dragon who made millions on an online brand team up for 20%
"I'll choose Peter for 25%"
check peter's retail experience
No, they teamed up for 25%
@@CalLadyQED no they didn't
She really wanted him and was hoping he would partner with one of the others. He has often agreed a partnership. He has an extensive background and so many contacts. He is the most successful of many of the other dragons put together. Respect where it is due.
I love Peter's expression during the dance. "Yes yes, enough with the pageantry, give me the bloody snacks"
His wife will be proud.
Peter ain't no simp.
The deal didn't go through at the end of the show I believe. Afterwards she recieved plenty of offers amounting to 800k and seems to be doing really well for herself, even with her own office space in London 😁
I feel like people use these shows just to get there names out on tv.
@@fedoratheexplora7180 It's a great idea. Free marketing, advertised to 100s of thousands potentially millions. Maybe get an investment from it in the end even better
@@fedoratheexplora7180 she was hella marketing
Where can I get this info? the comapanies and their worth atm?
@@aviewerman google
Dragons are "Unusually" this way.
She did extremely well to be in control from the beginning till the end.
Why Peter? I'm trying to wrap my head around it and I just don't get it.
Levi Roots worth £50m? Ring any bells?
yes me too. I would have picked Sarah and Nick personally, Touke would have been a second bet. But Peter didn't even say how he could benefit her business. But overall she done a fantastic job in the Den.
Apparently she didn't either-she said partnering with him should have felt like her wedding day, but something didn't fit.
Cause his Peter Jones.. As simple as that
Exactly she should have choose Touker
The look on Peter’s face when they came in dancing … priceless
A Google search of Chika's suggests that she is doing quite well for herself.
Good for her 🙌🏾
Over half a million per year-she has added four other directors though. Apparently after not going through with this deal she raised 800k from eight investors.
@Hi Interesting. I think she would have been better off going with Sarah and Nick. A lot better. 2 very influential dragons which would both add very valuable separate aspects and could dilute after getting their money back which they surely would in no time and would still make plenty even on a diluted share as they helped the business grow.
@@Hi-kq1vi Will I ever read about any dragons deal that actually went through afterwards...
@@seanjosephhayes I agree. Especially as she said she wanted 2 dragons.
This lady! Chika, did good. She has great charisma. Smart lady and doesn’t take herself too seriously. I’m pleased she is doing well.
Not really smart if she didn't research the background of the dragons. If she were smart she wouldn't have asked what the dragons would have offered her
I love how the women at the beginning looked like the branding! She brought her brand to life. A big well done to her. I would have gone with Toucker or Sarah
Peters face when she walked to the lift, he was like gagging 😂😂
She turn down the 30 grands from Peter and raises the fund with other investors of £800 grands. Now chika chips is in most food retailers
Thanks to whoever runs this channel always keeping us up to date with content 👍🏽
this is a very old episode..
@@Zeb1432 nobody asked you
@@overlord2495 too bad..it's a shame the deal didn't go through
You're welcome babycakes
Toukar finally got rid of his offices so now he offers Toukar time.
That' was a weird bidding when each next offer is for a higher percentage than the previous one. Dragons it wasn't an auction!
A very impressive presentation, and an equally amazing range of products. I’ve tried a few of them, and I think they’re presently available in WH Smith, Coop, Waitrose & Ocado
Why would she choose peter wtf .. nick and touker would have been so much better for her
Because he's the "well known one" like the Simon Cowell type so people just go for him even though there are far better people for that business there.
I think she initially went for him because she's seen what he's done with levi roots, a product from a similar background as hers. She ended up going alone, and for the best it seems!
levi rootz bro
I think Sarah and Nick would have been a great team.
she rejected him after the show according to a google search and then later got £800 000 from other investors
Touker: "How about an office in Nigeria"
She said she wanted 2 dragons..... she was strong and smart in questioning each dragon about there contacts and what they'd bring to the table.
And that is how you do a pitch that Dragons will NEVER forget Chika had all 5 Dragons eating out of her hands. Thats what l call girl intelligent power 😍
Lol when Touker offers the money and Touker time, you know he’s serious!
I just don’t understand why she didnt choose touker and jenny, between his worldwide networks and her expertise in the food market they wouldve been a huge brand worldwide
Such an authentic talent! So proud of her!
Peter has the best reaction to the dancers, like he wants it over as it begins. i can relate.
That’s just Peter’s face. He knows a great business opportunity when he see’s it. He very clearly loved it but tried to keep calm so as to not look desperate.
Peter is just here for business
@@simonrussell3569 you got it right. So apt!
"What film shall we watch tonight Jen?"
"Get Out"
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
@@andrecamilleri6503 thank you, I'll be here all week.
Unlike Jenny.
She is brilliant. Confident and clever with everything to back it all up with.
Peter holding himself together, while touker is flipping out. Nick Jenkins' look was brilliant 😂
Wish they didn’t rush them like that. Peter was rude about it and then she chose him
Exactly. I bet they dont make business decisions in 30 seconds yet they expect them too. Its almost like they bully them into making a quick decision which suits them but may not suit the the nervous entrepreneur
Peter’s face right at the beginning. Just as they enter. Priceless. 😂😂😂❤️
Peter seemed shocked she picked him.
As much as I could follow the lady's reasoning, it seemed obvious that she wouldn't pick Peter. She wanted to give away a low percentage, and she wanted 2 dragons. He wasn't willing to budge, wasn't willing to share, and was being a dick just for the hell of it. It was as unexpected as it gets.
@@VestinVestin He was not desperate and that was why she chose him. Being desperate is very off putting for people.
@@makatelli Don't see why as it isn't a dating show-if you think about it logically it makes little difference to them-they are all still going to be multi-millionaires & she is asking for chicken feed. Why pick somebody with no real experience, asking for the highest amount of your business when you have other people more suited to your product with the right contacts to make this an international success, wanting less of your company & offering more time to help you?
its because peter got sweaty and he said he was very sexualy frustrated
We'll never know the full story of what was discussed, but based on this 15 minute clip, it seems the entrepreneur chose Peter purely under pressure
Could have done so much better with Touker's contacts and Nick's marketing, would have been the perfect duo.
Touker needed a 5 min break straight afterwards. Lol
Had to calm his line of credit down.
Those snacks aren't the only nuts that got roasted by Chika's girls 😉
Why are they making offers without asking about sales first?
They obviously get a small breakdown before the person comes in. Then they ask extra questions.
LOL The use of sexual manipulation pisses Peter off immediately
Touker loved it, a bit too much. Embarrassing and needed cushion on his lap. Lol
Yeah, it's a little annoying, I'm not saying this lady is like this, but there's a whole rabbit hole to go down isn't there.
Often, feminists on the one hand demand _equal_ treatment, but on the other hand use their _unequal_ power. Then they deny having any power at all whilst wearing low cut tops, tonnes of makeup and fluttering their eyelashes.
@@carlhartwell7978 i doubt if she considers herself a feminist. otherwise she'd be too busy thinking of reasons why she's doomed never to succeed in the world, rather than running a business.
they had proper feminists in the Den once, i believe they pitched an all-female building company or something along these lines, and you could tell immediately. they came across as obsessed activists, started pointless arguments right off the bat, needless to say did not secure an investment (which i'm sure they took as yet another proof of how the whole world conspires against women)
@@vibovitold Yeah, I'd also doubt she's a feminist, based on the fact that most Brits aren't (she seems British) and that she gives no indication of it (feminists usually can't go for [insert your own brief period of time] without mentioning it).
I do remember that building company, quite appalling. It's a common trope for feminists to counter criticism of their ideology as misogyny, or _internalized_ sexism if coming from a woman. Difficult to argue against, like most arguments coming from an ideology springing from post modernism and Marxism. Given that they rely more on subjectivity and feelings rather than objectivity and facts.
And just to be clear, I'm not a Randian, I'm a realist. I do recognize the importance of emotion, and do recognize that different perspectives can add to the conversation, but I also certainly do reject the idea that ONLY perspective matters and ONLY emotion matters. Which is pretty much exactly what the post modern Marxist types believe.
boy, you're a bunch of joyless pricks, aren't you?
Peter wants to drill down further into the prospect that's on offer -yeah I bet he does!!!! Omg the narrators accidentally on purpose innuendo kills me 😂😂😂
It's painful to watch when dragons feel almost offended when a girl tries to pick the right offer. Good for her. Dragons bargan hard so is she. Go girl!
Peter gives that "yeah..... what.......everrrrr" look during the dance 😂
I love how she praised and encourage her team before they went in, that’s a true leader right there.
Smart move Peter wasn't expecting that lol
The amount of people who knew Jenny wasn’t in this video because of the title
👇🏻
Can someone explain what she means by the %. It’s only a small %
MR 360 3STYL % of the company, when it grows it’s a huge difference
gets an offer for 10% and gives away 25%
Soon guys will be telling girls to “Disconnect ya bottom for me”Just remember where it started.
😂
🤣🤣-Peter is quite the character.
She undervalued her business
As Nigerians will say "I came to collect and I collected"
As a Nigerian myself, I don't believe we really say that👀
🤣🤣🤣
She got 3 offers well quickly! I agree with toucker. She needs more than £30,000
Peters expression made my day😄
14:15 Love how she turns round and Peter gives the classic guy face of ‘yeah, I would’ 😂
Yes I noticed that too. Lol
She is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh yes!!
Shes basic
Haha the surprised look on Peter's face when she accepted his deal!
I think that was the right choice.
That may be the most entertaining pitch I’ve seen on Dragon’s Den
I like her very much. She clear and precise presentation. Deserving
Brilliant well done to this lady👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She is class and elegant 👏🏼👍🏼
People,have you seen the way Peter twisted his face as the girl was moving out?...
I was wondering about that too. Is it an editing insert? It hardly seems clever if it was and appeared oddly disparaging. Then I wondered if Peter's way of acknowledging inner pride and joy is to mask it with a tight jaw and lip curl, like a poker player. Probably wrong on both counts but it does intrigue me. Cheers.
Shes good not just giving her business away without asking the right questions. Not choosing Peter though haha
Hold on, she's gorgeous and she sells a mean product, but where were all the gross profit, sales orders and margin questions?
They probably edited it out because there wasn't any drama lol. In any case, she ended up rejecting Peter's offer, raising money through other investors, and expanding her business to be something of a mainstay in the UK market. She's done very well for herself.
Bottoms up one of best pitches ! She is very smart !
This was one of the best pitch's ever on Dragon's Den! Chika's a confident and smart lady, I'm so glad she's doing well. May she continue to go from strength to strength .
She's super hot. Wish she had a better posture. She won't have much fun with that back in a couple of years.
Great performance! You should get in touch with her team and offer her your services / advice. She will probably appreciate it.
@@stefanmariaschneider she's a mom of 3, I'm surprised her posture is still that good tbh. Most give up after one kid.
Simply mouth watering, love the taste and the range of products too, so much to choose from and they are all so delicious. We order them in boxes for the office all the staff love them.
Maddo.. finally... I’ve been waiting for a naija pitch 💥💥... we always shake the room 🔥🔥
This girl shook the room. She was in in control from the beginning.

0:40 keep tapping to see the boy in Touker come out
Wtf 😂 Thought peter would be the last person shed have picked
Shes so refreshing and clear ❤️🥰
Narrator: 'but Peter Jones, still wants to drill down further on the prospect on offer'
*Pans across her back side*
Her: *The nut market is £400 million*
Aka her "nut roaster"
8:56 Touka is about to make an offer.
I am wondering if he is going to offer his London office space.
Missing jenny as She's already out even in this quarantine 😂😂😂
I was waiting for Peter to say "I think it's the best in terms of chocolate that I've ever seen that's come into the den."
lol i guess her looks stunned them they didnt even ask for sales projections..other people get grilled
They probably did not show it cause usually last hours and they always edit out.
@@Awardrobeofwonders are you mad? Hours?
@@MartijnMols it definitely lasts for atleast an hour +
Their primary objective is the person. She has credentials as a former banker I believe. It is only more ordinary folk without highly paid jobs that they destroy in the figures. Although I am sure she was grilled on the numbers and the edit may have included this if she didn't accept a dragon at the end.
Touker has office space in Ghana.
wow she’s sooooo pretty and smart!!! love her!!!!
I was surprised by that twist at the end. Looked like she was negotiating with everyone morre than she was with Peter, then when told to make a decision, "Peter."
I'd have probably said, depending on what she feels she needs from the dragons, either Nick's offer or Touker's offer. Touker wanted the highest percentage but seemed to really want to offer her a lot from a partnership. Nick, he only wanted 10%(half of what she lter declared would be her maximum of 20%) He has connections, I don't think he'd have brought any less value than one of the other three. Thinking about it, he's possibly the best Dragon for this type of product. Thinking back, I remember Alex, she said she wanted her olives to be to olives what KP is to nuts and Walkers is to crisps. Well, that never happened. Years later however, Nick made an investment in a duo and what KP is to nuts and Walkers to crisps, The Snaffling Pig became to pork scratchings.
Peter's face when they were dancing. He is so not impressed with this sort of gimmick 🤣
I'm not either haha everytime we get an ep. like this I just cringe.
or maybe it was cut from other part of the show. Mind EDITING thing!
@@Nightstalker93O Me too. It's trying too hard 😊
@@mattiv1 Yes maybe. You can't even believe what you see with your own eyes nowadays! 🥺
Peter can ask three times more share equity than the others, he has such a background, everyone would choose him
She's so strong and confident and such positive figure that she totally owned the place. I don't care about what she is selling, I would have invested in her just because I'm confident that she will totally ace it.
Should have easily collected more if you didn’t blurt that you’re willing to give away 25%
😂 Peter jones face the African dancer coming out
Should've gone with nicks original offer
He bought pretty much zero to the table.
Tafadzwa- he was too much drooling over her. (!) unfortunate and she surely felt that, and he was not what she needed anyway.
Touker knows what snack he wants 😉
Example of a good Nigerian woman
I agree. She's so nice and lovely. And probably incredibly strong. Smart and pretty goes without saying (and then some)💟
For me, I don't find black women that physically attractive, but god damn, she is hot and smart. Sexy and smart women are a winner in my book!
@@Locutus that is one of the most ridiculous comments. Is the case of you not finding black women attractive relevant in any case here? She got the job done, simple as that. What is the point posting that.
@@Locutus Wow what a backhanded compliment... Just wasn't needed, very malicious! You could have said she's attractive and business savvy then left it at that
@Martin Shepherd Martin, you are right. I find some ethnicities more attractive over other ethnicities. But, if a woman is hot and smart, her ethnicity is not important.
The lift doors open and I hear Sean tizzle on the speakers in the dragon's den. Goosebumps mehn.
