CNN - Nigerian fast food goes global [YOUTUBE]CQ-XaSRCZHg&NR=1[/YOUTUBE] Most times, all it takes in business is meeting a yearning need. Western businessmen with the aid of demographers use all sorts of classification for understanding this market need. It could be age, ethnicity, income group, lifestyle, or whatever that can be classified. Opportunities always exist for those that are willing to take their chances, and bet on their hard-work, openness to learn and discover their true calling. Here is one of the women, an African women that is gradually building a global brand that might as well serve the needs of immigrant Nigerians, and possibly Africans as its menu offerings expand and accommodate local interests. I guess it all starts with that single step, I mean those baby steps. What plans do you have for your future? Are you doubting yourself? Maybe that opportunity awaits you if you are willing to break all the rules and trust your guts.
Yes, you have a point. Fastfood might actually have emanated from the concept of an industrial economy, or a time conscious society where things are packaged in such a fashion that premium is placed on time, proximity, and accessibility. Here we are talking about Africans taking ownership and maybe redefining that name. Yet, whatever name you call a thing is immaterial if it serves its need, and encapsulates a concept that is shared by people. Perception is as good as reality. In this case, it serves a people's reality. I think that is more important than anything else. Maybe as the business evolves, it might adapt to your concept of fastfood, or the concept of fastfood might accommodate this expanded meaning. Words are meant to call into focus, or perception an idea. They are continuously, or continually changing.
I've had some Nigerian food before. It's really good. A little spice and uniqueness to it. I'd like to see Mama Cass come here in the states and well...expand. I'd be a supporter of it.
BBW, It is nice to learn you have tasted some. I know that spicy bit is an ethnic thing though. Some Nigerian ethnicities don't like spice. If the Mama Cass is bold enough to forge ahead with her business. I think she might have some success. I have eaten some of the best crispy chicken in Nigeria. Not sure KFC would compete.
