Nelly Agbogu
Tribute
Between navigating Namibia's political landscape as the country's first female president and raising three sons through her service in the foreign affairs ministry three decades ago, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has governed with maternal wisdom that enriches rather than compromises her leadership. We celebrate the state affairs managed alongside family matters, the national visions articulated between mother-children stories, and the president who knows that her most enduring legislation will be the values her children carry forward.
Profile
Nelly Agbogu, widely recognized as ‘Naija Brand Chick,’ is a dynamic entrepreneur dedicated to empowering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through innovative social media strategies. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2016 with the founding of Nellies Nigeria, a healthy food and snack company based in Lagos. This venture was inspired by her personal challenges with weight loss and the need to provide gluten-free snacks for her child. By sharing her homemade healthy snacks on social media, she quickly identified a market demand and transformed her personal solutions into a thriving business. Recognizing the power of social media in business growth, Nelly established Naija Brand Chick, a platform aimed at teaching small business owners how to effectively utilize Instagram for marketing and sales. Through this initiative, she offers courses and hosts trade fairs, significantly impacting the visibility and success of numerous African SMEs. Beyond her business ventures, Nelly is a mother.
