[dropcap custom_class=”normal”] This post goes out to my fellow perfectionists. So for a while now, after procrastination, the second thing on my negative list to consciously get rid of this year is ‘Over Perfectionism’. I thought it was a good/okay thing, but I now realise there is a very bad side of this trait I have acquired.
The thought of this led to this quote over the weekend, and I’m sure you can relate to it, “Over Perfectionism Can Certainly Kill/Drown Your Beautiful idea”. It’s time to get it behind you, and cast the negative spirit out fast. [/dropcap] Continue reading

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”] The importance of community and networking in growing a strong business has been overlooked for quite some time now.
Community chiefly entails supporting and interacting positively with other individuals who share a vested interest.
While competition is healthy for business, it is also important to forge bonds that will last decades, even generations. If not, who are you doing business with then? [/dropcap] Continue reading
Bellafricana.com, an online platform that bridges the gap, promotes and connects producers of quality Afrocentric products to customers both in the diaspora that want to connect to home and customers in the local that are dissatisfied and looking for quality products with a goal to make creative Afrocentric products globally accessible.
Beyond the online platform, Bellafricana aims to proffer solutions targeted towards reducing the challenges Afrocentric brands undergo.
They are also working hard to bring the quality creative Afrocentric brands to the forefront of the market.
I wanted to educate you of what it means for an Afrocentric business to be ‘Bellafricana Verified’.
If you see a brand that carries this crest, this simply means;
1) The business/company is registered in Nigeria.
2) The business operates from a verified location in Nigeria.
3) The products have been checked to attest to the quality and reviews have been read from buyers who have given a clear tick ✔ rating the brand as acceptable by both us and the public except proven otherwise.
Bellafricana is working towards improving all buyers trust in buying a Nigerian/African brand and working with these producers on how to make their products more credible in the Nigeria and Global market if they have intentions to be sustainable and expand.
Bellafricana is very particular about the quality of Nigerian (African) brands whilst supporting them to grow their standards as they believe that promoting local talents to a global audience contributes to job creations in the Nigerian (African) economy.
There has been a rise in the number of SMEs looking to go global, but do they know what it takes to remain sustainable and make profit?
The importance of capacity building and developing Nigeria’s Non-oil Export sector at this critical point in our Nation’s History cannot be overemphasised.
SMEs play an essential role in increasing the sustainable development of the Non-Oil Export sector.
