Whenever I recall the Bible verse Exodus 4: 2 “Then the Lord said to him, “what is that in your hand?” one clear manifestation of this that comes to mind is the turnaround story of Ijeoma Ndukwe, the Forbes Pap/Ogi Seller aka Nwanyiakamu and she is our for this week.

A Humble Pap-selling mogul, God-spirit filled, beautiful-looking and a wonderful mother to three wonderful children aged 10, 8 and 4 years. She has great spirit-work-life balance.

Growing up, I for one always hated pap as it was always stuffed with bournvita beverage , no milk no sugar .Chai!! my mother would always make it in that big metal bowl , scoop three heavy spoons of bournvita (with the crunchy-crunchy inside oh) and be bribing me with songs and stories of “gbomo-gbomo” coming to eat my food if I don’t want it……I remember swallowing the pap but stuffing it in the cheeks of my mouth whilst she would playfully punch my cheeks to ensure I swallow it with the never-ending promise of the “this is the last spoon” but Ijeoma turned around this same normal “Pap” hawked on the street from the confines of her kitchen in August 2012 and made it not just sexy but created over extra-fortified pap that comes in 12 different variants – Strawberry, Plain Yellow, Plain White, Vanilla Flavored, with Groundnut, with Soybeans, and 4 variants with Ginger that kiddies and (yes I am a new convert now) have come to love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So as she has always boldly stated "I sell pap for a living, what's your excuse?'……” What’s in your hands”
