Most if not all Naija girls grew up playing with oyibo dolls. You know? The blonde hair blue eyed
barbies that looked nothing like a naija girl. Well, with growing access to new technologies and globalization, entrepreneurship is big business in Nigeria as we are seeing many young people going into business instead of seeking employment with oil firms or banks as they did in the past. One of such savvy young people is Taofick Okoya.
Taofick Okoya. Taofick, who has a little daughter realized that there was a gap in the market when he wanted to buy his daughter a doll and noticed all he could get his hands on were white dolls; White dolls in the most populous black nation? Sometimes our mentality as blacks/Nigerians is quite startling!!! But I'll keep my opinions to myself and rather celebrate with Taofick, as he brings his entrepreneurial pursuit into fruition.
WuraolaAnd not only are these Nigerian dolls just dolls: they are named the Queens of Africa dolls for a reason; they will help the average African girl child effortlessly relate with being black and beautiful...
Nneka!...Education about African history is emphasized with cds and inscriptions that come with the dolls, alongside cultural and moral values being heightened.
So mothers, fathers, grandpas and mas, and the young at heart, go get your Nneka, Azeezah, or Wuraola now!!! For now, the Azeezah doll is available at myasho.com
Azeezah!!
The ‘Queens of Africa‘ project team intend to achieve their goal of grooming the children as queens that will become role models.
