Our African heritage and culture is rich in tradition, colour and excitement, but due to westernisation young people are rapidly losing touch with the African culture and heritage especially our life styles. This is why I started a company called African Things to bring African inspired products to our everyday living; a fusion with contemporary style. African Things is a design and production company that designs and produces African inspired products focusing on fashion accessories and functional utility products using African fabric and materials. We supply wholesale to large retail stores such as Mega plaza, Prince Ebeano supermarket, and Jumia. We also supply to tourist shops in hotels such as Eko hotel and Four point. We manufacture from a variety of factories based here in Nigeria. Over time, we also aim to set up our own factory thereby creating jobs and wealth creation. With the company Facebook page, www.facebook.com/africanthings, African things has been able to generate support; by boosting our products to our target groups we have been able to get over 2000 likes and counting, mostly youths between the ages of 16 -35 from all over the world; UK, America, even China. African Things aims to change the negative image associated with Africa manufacture and be a symbol for high quality products while empowering Africans. What make African Things unique is that it is a design and manufacturing company based in Africa producing goods that we aim to have in every household in Africa.
