- The Nigerian woman who started a company from Nothing is another subset of my promoting African Entrepreneur series called "Small Business Stories" where I feature black owned companies all across Africa who have built successful businesses and they tell us how they did it.
Over the past couple months I have shared stories of different African entrepreneurs who have been able to build big successful businesses despite the numerous challenges on our continent.
I believe small business are also as important to our economy which is why over the next 3 weeks I will be featuring 6 small businesses on this new series on my channel called “Small Business Stories”.
Today's episode is Bukky who is a Nigerian entrepreneur who currently on a journey to taking a large market share in the fragrance and lifestyle industry. She tells us about how she was able to build her business in Abuja Nigeria while taking us through some of the challenges she has faced on her entrepreneurial journey.
She also shows us how she has been able to leverage the internet to grow her business.
I hope you guys will enjoy this one because I’m pretty excited to share these stories with you. Do Watch like and Enjoy.

Scented candle is popular worldwide. I agree with her about Bornu and scents. My wife was born in Maiduguri and still always asked for scents to be sent to her from Nigeria. I almost dabbled into scented candle business a while ago to be sold on Amazon but decided on a different product. I also like the 'Made in Nigeria' label.
A lot of business lessons learned here. thanks.
Tayo, I love the way you are evolving and that is one of the secrets of longevity in any endeavor. Kudos to you and Bukky for bringing us this video.
If Scentify ever consider putting their brand on Amazon, I have knowledge about building brand on Amazon marketplace especially the EU markeplace including UK.
Thanks a lot for watching! Appreciate you
When you have thoughts with this kind of quality and you share, you are indeed an amazing person.
Yes ,I live in the US and would definitely order if it were on Amazon👏🏽👏🏽 Great Content ‼️‼️ I enjoy the Positive info regarding Nigeria ‼️
@@ComfortCommunity I think the most important step is to be sure whether the type of product you are selling is a product people are searching for. Is it African hair product or generic? If you use scented candle as an example, anyone regardless of race can buy scented candle. If you are selling african air product on Amazon, there might be an argument that majority of African who want to buy the product can just buy from their local african shop. please don't get me wrong, there are people who sell african products online on amazon/ebay/etsy etc and still succeeding. But, the type of product need to be products that have a lot of people going online to search for. basically, research on volume of search before sourcing for a product to sell.
@@ComfortCommunity yes I am based in the UK
Made in Nigeria...the rest of the world needs to get used to hearing and reading that!
I love the fact that the "made in Nigeria" is boldly written.
Thank you 😁
I'm a Chinese working in Lagos. Thank you for your great content to let me learn a lot about the brilliance of Nigeria!
Thanks for showing Nigerians progress, instead of killings. I know our success is much better than the bad. Thank you!!!
I have realised that most Nigerian after schools goes back to the passion of their parents or should I say memories of their childhood and make great business out of it.
This was truly interesting Tayo.
Well done.
Omg! Today am first here😍 I clicked supper fast! 😀
Haha. Thanks Trudy and congrats on 200k 😀
Thank you 😊
Hello Miss Trudy🥰🥰🥰
A least I'm early today. I might not be first but happy to be an early Bird 😉💕💕💕

Nothing makes me more happy to see Black Business Owners Doing Successful.
Exactly

* Nigerian * business
@@shangothunder1055 The last time I checked, Nigerian's were Black 😂😂😂
@@akebullanrising3308 This is why many Nigerians are weary of this Pan Africanism concept. Whenever something negative happens even remotely involving Nigeria or Nigerians wether it's true or not Africans are quick to jump on the bandwagon even teaming up with the "enemy" in trying to destroy Nigeria/Nigerians. But the second Nigerians excel or accomplish something; which is usually more than the others, they start shouting the whole "One Africa", "Black excellence" stuff trying to get a piece of the cake sometimes claiming the entire thing. Pan Africanism is not here not even close knock it off.
When an advertising practitioner decides to become an entrepreneur, the outcome is great marketing for the product or service they want to sell.
Great video production Tayo ✌
Hi Tayo, I had a lot of fun doing this with you 😄. Thanks for the feature and kudos to you for shining the spotlight on small businesses.
You need a TH-cam channel, Ms. Bukola. I truly enjoyed watching this episode with you.
Ahh it's a lot of work oh, will I have time to develop content 😬😬😬
@@bukolaakinmboni7863 you may have to hire someone to promote your products on the internet scene.
Congrats on a beautiful business and keep soaring! I need to visit Nigeria and particularly Abuja soon! Stay blessed.
@@bukolaakinmboni7863 Oh, I completely understand. Creating content for TH-cam is no joke :-)
Love this Tayo 👌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 😁😁😁
Me too!
I can't wait to smell all your scent in my house when I'm in Nigeria. Thank you for the made in Nigeria.
Waiting keenly to serve you!
@@bukolaakinmboni7863 I wasn’t really listening until I heard you say my dad’s from Ondo and my mom is from Borno! My ears perked up and I looked up because I was sure that must be my Yacilla’s Baby girl! Lol. Hey Bukky. I am so proud of you.
I like the way Nigerians are making something, even when the economy is not favourable
Watching You From TANZANIA 🇹🇿 One Love! 🤜🤛
Tayo I refuse to let you shock me in many levels!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a brilliant inspirational story
with the brilliance of all your signatures.
I watched the USA Gymnast Simone Biles over the weekend, the commentator said that at her level of skill and technical perfection, she can only compete against herself.
And that's just You! Boy you're something!
I had to watch this video twice!
Love you Tayo. More Blessings.
Support these brands and permanently boycott the American and European brands across mother Africa #B1
Preachhhh
We are not bitter like that in Nigeria we are business oriented people so we are not boycotting any country
@@godwinejiofor8064 This is not about bitterness, this is about circulating Africa wealth within Africa, Good luck with European brands exploiting your simple ass 😂😂😂
@@godwinejiofor8064 Feel free to priotize European brands over African brands and we'll see how much wealth and trade you'll accumilate 😉
European brands use toxic stuff. Buy black. They have pillaged and benefitted from exploiting our resources for ever. Our time is NOW!!
Ayyyyy I was just saying I want to find a African fragrance supplier. Awesome
We are here. This is Buky from Scentify. Pls send us a DM
There is also a burgeoning fragrance industry in Rwanda.
Nothing more beautiful than seeing "Made in Nigeria" products. This is an amazing and beautiful video Tayo!! Thanks for going to Abj to share Bukky's story!! 🙌
As you go in your journey, you would grow! 👌
I like this Lady she is so intelligent and thanks Tayo for this🔥👏❤
Ahhh thanks ...says the lady
i have been waiting for this. Thank you Tayo. love from South Africa
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
She reminds me of Asmau Zakari the soap maker. I can imagine the aroma in the workshop, Great share brother.
She is so beautiful!! We need to start producing and manufacturing more.
Tayo in business o! Making his own diffuser. So proud of you Tayo!!
What a beautiful segment please make this your main segment of telling the stories of both big and small businesses. When it comes to telling authentic African stories this is where you win. I love the way you do not overhype the story or overwhelm the person telling their story. Your personality, video and editing skills are just amazing.
Entrepreneurship need patience and consistency. You just have to preserve. Nowhere is Entrepreneurship easy. In America for instance, About 90% of startups fail. 10% of startups fail within the first year. Across all industries, startup failure rates seem to be close to the same. Failure is most common for startups during years two through five, with 70% falling into this category.
So, entrepreneurship challenges are not peculiar to Nigeria. You just have to preserve. The challenges, failures, mistake is part of the stories that makes your history sweet once you made it as entrepreneur. Without it your story will be boring.
Kudos to the lady. I love the name of the brand. Keep pushing, Nigeria roads was not build in a day.
Love you my brother ♥️...I am a Nigerian love your energy
Interesting! my dad had a candle factory as far back as 1981, the first in old Oyo state and later relocated to ondo state as the first candle factory in ondo state around 1983. He did a few scented candles but found there wasn't much of a market for it. Lack of raw materials at the time forced a closure.
Nigeria is more cosmopolitan and scented candles are more desirable.
I wish the lady good luck and i hope she grows from strength to strength.
The design quality of the product and video is next level! When are we getting our "Essence of Tayo" fragrance 😂?
Nigeria to the world 🌎 small business to the world… the story needs to be heard
Love this episode and the series even more! I’m glad you’re doing this and I’m totally here for more content 🙌 🙌
I love this story Tayo, Africa to the world.
Keep going Tayo. Your depiction about the hardworking part of Nigerians gives us hope. Even with the bad and corrupt government that we have in Nigeria. People are still resilient.
I’m here for this series 🔥🎉❤️

I love this direction I'm seeing from you, this is inspiring. I love the made in Nigerian label, by Nigerians for Nigerians. Great job 👍 bro
