Why Buy Nigerian?

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.

I know you've seen this quote one too many times, but I decided to share, because I woke up with this quote repeating itself over and over again in my head.
.
.
I've been meaning to do a couple of things for some time now, but majorly, the fear of how they could go wrong has been clouding my sense of judgement.
