Abi Nigerians area all about being "original" when it comes to fashion and clothes, but name to name your business, we'll be hearing "West End couture." Have you ever wondered that maybe part of the popularity of Bella Naija, is the uniqueness of the name? I mean it's not igbo, yoruba or hausa, but it's defn Naija!!!

Rather than 'chef', you'd be more comfortable with 'olopo'. We live in a borderless world and our influences are global. You could have mentioned Phunk Afrique or even the label named after the African Zebra; but that would expose how selective your criticism is! pray tell Ladi, what you would call a coffeemaker in Yoruba or even in English?!

Machu Picchu? trained baristas? hahahaha What's with Nigerians? Must the names must be funky english, italian, french? Even Asian words are now cool. (piccolo, la saison, le petit marche, portobello when there is yaba market) I love the business part, the namings just irk me. Colonialists really sucked out stuff from our brains, who in Europe names their shop 'Oluwachukwufunmilayoasabe?' Anyway, anything foreign sells so I'll open my shop with a Cherokee, native american word. Na wa for me, I just digressed from the post. bambuddha?
