MoinMoin, a pudding made from beans with the mixtures of other spices and condiments which include crayfish, red pepper, onions, fish extract etc.
Below is a brief chat with this industrious lady:
Question: What informed your decision to go into Moin Moin Expresso?
I saw the need to make recipe for moinmoin available to every home in an affordable pack. I realised that significant number of Nigerians like home made moinmoin, yet they do not know how and what sort of recipe or beans would be good in preparing delicious moinmoin. I got to know this, because I have been in event management industry for sometimes and I equally supply home made meals for events.
Question: You started the production of “MoinMoin Expresso yourself?
Anthea: Yes. I started on my own with zero budget with no financial support from anywhere.
Question: What were the challenges you encountered as a Start-Up?
Anthea: You know bussiness of this sort is capital intensive and starting without support from no where was quite challenging for me. However, I remained focus on the impacts more than the challenges that may come. I had to dispose my Blackberry Torch at Banex Plaza when I was about to start, this money bought me first set of bags of beans that were used for the first production of “MoinMoin Expresso”.
Question: What makes “MoinMoin Expresso” special from other ones?
Anthea: MoinMoin Expresso is 100% organic beans hygienically dehusked, milled, mixed with onions,chilli,seasoning & crayfish for easy preparation of Moimoi,Akara & beans soup (gbegiri soup). 1kg of MoinMoin Expresso mixed and it gives u 24 plastic bowls or Uma leaf wraps of moimoin.
Question: What is the Distribution of MoinMoin Expresso like across the country?
Anthea: Although, we currently have distributors in some states in Nigeria. However, we still need more distributors nationwide as well as West Africa countries.
