Thinking outside the box to carve a niche for yourself and your brand is a great leap of faith in my opinion. Its like closing your eyes, while attempting to walk on water, but then, when you have faith and you serve God, absolutely nothing is impossible.

Right here, is a young man, who decided to do ,what has not been done before, and if his facts were right, he will be a forerunner and pacesetter in his field.

That;my friends, is a story worth reading, and one worth worth sharing...read on below;

Kemi Mobuse blog: Why Jersey in particular?What inspired your going into this field?

Jerseys Official: Okay, I'm a football lover and I discovered that Nigerians find it difficult to get quality jerseys in Nigeria except they order from abroad, which makes it quite expensive. I spoke to a friend about it and I got introduced to someone that could import these jerseys in large quantities and I customized here in the country. That's where it all began

Kemi Mobuse blog: What can you say being an entrepreneur has taught you?

Jerseys Official: Being an entrepreneur has taught me to be responsible for every action I take, it has taught me to never stop making moves, it has taught me to be independent.

Kemi Mobuse blog: What is your most memorable experience yet, since you started?Jerseys Official: The time I did my first team jersey production. I was happy seeing a football team wearing what I produced.

Kemi Mobuse blog: Given a chance to meet a prominent personality in your field of work, who would you choose? And what would you say to him?

Jerseys Official: My field of work 'production of jerseys' is a rare one and if I'm correct, I'm the first jersey producing company in the country. I look up to Adidas, Nike, puma, etc. So if I could meet CEO's of any of those companies, I will be glad.
