“Entrepreneur is someone who has a vision for something and a want to create.”
– David Karp, Tumblr Founder & CEO”
Bubez foods story began with a discomfort, a quiet time, a dream and a ‘want to create’
Founder & CEO, Ijeoma Ndukwe-Egwuronu in her quiet time found the direction for Bubez Foods by identifying a multigenerational household food product for most African homes, which had existing challenges. Having given her own kids pap as their staple meal until they were 2 years old, she understood the need for this traditional meal as well as the challenges getting it posed as a result of the time and energy it takes to process from scratch and the concern for hygiene that made it difficult to purchase in an open market.
To bridge this gap and sell HEALTH & CONVENIENCE; she began selling this healthy breakfast cereal, first from her home to family and friends, then, from the booth of her car.
Understanding that the traditional taste of pap does not appeal to everyone including herself, Ijeoma researched and experimented with different variants with the goal of providing healthy tastier options. This led to the birth of the Bubez Signature variants – Strawberry Flavoured Pap and Vanilla Flavoured pap. Other variants naturally followed to ensure that everyone, whatever their preferences, had something.
