Why Buy Nigerian?
My eaves dropped at dinner last night and I heard someone ask “Why buy Nigerian?” with the main bone of contention being the quality of made in Nigeria products.
If you ask me, (even if you don’t I’d still tell you anyway) the concern of quality particularly is a little bit played out. Nigerians are not only becoming more innovative; most are also paying supreme attention to detail and quality.
Indigo Dye
Indigo dye was the foundation of numerous textile traditions throughout West Africa. For centuries before the introduction of synthetic dyes the ability to transform everyday white cotton into prized deep blue cloth was a mysterious and highly valuable skill passed on by specialist dyers from generation to generation. From the Tuareg nomads of the Sahara to the grassland kingdoms of Cameroon, indigo cloth signified wealth, abundance and fertility.

💥So this post is about Fear 😱, Courage 💪and Determination ✊
.
.
They don't call me Bukky the story teller for nothing (so grab a chair and a chilled bottle of water)
.
.
This new motherhood season mixed with business has been turning my mind oniown (they say I should sleep when she's sleeping, I say but work must to continue..)
.
.
Now let's take it one after the other;
.
.
👉Fear (hmm dear fear): you gat nothing on me. Since I popped this beautiful human, I have been on flat shoes o, because I keep telling myself "what if I fall".. ahh chimo!
.
.
But flashback to last Sunday, I had to tell myself "what if I don't fall" and so I faced the gaddamn fear head-on, a babe must remain a babe
.
.
Now this feeling as been applying to my business and life in general. Like please (first I say kudos to new mums and dad's out there, my focus is on mums though, we have too much to contend with)
.
.
My new conscious motto "Bukky you will do it afraid"
.
.
👉Courage: After wearing the gorgeous heels by @k.aspenng, as I carried my sweet baby angel T, it was like I was about to trip. Maybe it was my mind again o (this mind is a serious battlefield we must always renew),
.
I had to whisper in my spirit "get thee behind me fear, I gat this" .
.
👉Now Determination: Ahh my amazing hubby then says "babe are you sure you want to wear those heels" (inside I said no, but outside I said yes jor, give me my gorgeous @marteegele bag to carry too)
.
.
I will not lie, I codedly slipped my sandals into my big baby bag incase o (but oh no, Bukky is too determined to fall her own hand)
.
.
So that's how I didn't only walk in and out of church, I was catwalking with angel T on my hand 😂
.
.
This determination is what keeps me alive in business (my vision is too real to take a nap now, this new season is challenging me to be the best I ever thought I could be)
.
.
So my beautiful family reading, tell me if you can relate, infact share your fear+courage+determination story if you have or just say "well done Bukky" as per gingering things
.
.
I challenge you today and as I'll continue to. Please keep doing it afraid, whatever is hindering your progress today, JUST DO IT ✔
