ISM: What has
been your greatest success so far?
JD: Well, as in
any business that is just starting, initially it was a bit difficult. I started
16 years ago from Lagos and I remember that when I first started talking about
herbal treatments, people were confused. Many people said I was a herbalist. Others
were quite inquisitive and wanted to know what kind of herbalist I was. Some
called me a ‘baba-alawo’ - a traditional herbalist or doctor when I talked
about herbs and vegetables. It took me four years to get into the market. Then,
people began to try the herbal products and found them to be good. Gradually,
customers introduced me other people.
ISM: What challenges
have you had to deal with?
JD: In every
human-being’s live, you always have ups and downs. The time I found most
challenging was when I tried to open my first shop in London three years. You
too know how difficult it is start and run a business in London. Anyway, I decided
to appear on TV and over 100 people came to our new shop. It has not been easy
but gradually people have started coming. So, did it all start?
l opened my
first shop in Peckham within three years of setting up my business and another
one in Catford four years later. I had a short break when I had my baby but
customers kept calling- they wanted the products here in the UK. So, I got a
friend to help me post the products to people in England and last month, I came
to open our office in Croydon, UK.
ISM: What are
your marketing secrets?
JD: Apart from
word of mouth where customers refer their friends and family to me, I give out
my flyers and I appear on TV stations such as BEN TV every Saturday between 11:30
and 12midday. Our adverts appear on the NOLLYWOOD channel every evening, on FOX
Africa on Saturdays and an advert is planned for Naija Paper, UK.
ISM: Are there any
other businesses you involved in?
JD: I also run
a property company. We sell plots of land to investors and ordinary buyers. The
land is at Lope, Airport Road, Abuja in Nigeria. This is a new development
where choice land is selling at the moment. We have different categories of land depending on what people want. We
offer land, half developments at various stages or completed buildings. For
more information about buying land- customers can call: +2348057547300
ISM: Finally,
what is the secret of your success-especially as a mother six blessed children?
JD: Two of my
children are completing their higher education and the four younger ones are
with me in Nigeria. All I can say is that the secret of success is hard work
and having God by your side. If you have Christ, you can have it all -
protection, revelations about your life and future. Most career people are
carried away by their career but I have mapped out plan for family and for my
business. Both are separate and don't mix. Business does not mix with my family
and family does not mix with business.
ISM: Wow! That makes sense. Thank you so much for your time and it has really been
nice talking to you and I wish you all the best in your endeavours!
DJ: It was nice
talking to you too…
