"I started my restaurant with 400 naira" BELGIUM FOODS LAGOS
I know her 😅😅😅 when I was a little girl in Amuwo, she gives me food for free and I helped her a lot and I knew she would give me food later. When I grew up I travelled abroad each year I come home on holiday, I bring perfume for her. She was too good a neighborur, I remember how it was named Belgium.
I am 58yrs today I pray one day to meet this my Angel that fed me in my childhood 🙏🙏🙏
This is so beautiful. I'm sure Mama will very much love to see you too.
God bless you ma.
Wow! Mile2 to the world.
Very technical in production. Excellent story, highly educative and inspirational.
40 Years in the industry is not a mean feat!
I specially congratulate my mother, our mother, the CEO Belgium Foods - Alhaji Abizat Falana - and the entire FALANA Family.
May Allah's rahmah and noor continue to abide by the family.
I believe I was one of the first customers the very first 3 days she started, we moved to the estate at the same time and my dad Pa Egbowon was the estate chairman. I know the whole family. Iya isiaka is very dedicated, we named the place Belgium because of the amount of foreign cars parked by car importers from Belgium on a daily basis. I’m very proud of her.
Wow! That's awesome. You have every right to be proud of Belgium's success. Thank you Sir.
You must be very insane!!
@@abdulkareemtawfeeq1 are you for real ?
@@anthonyegbowon2924 It's only God, the creator who decides salvation. No one will enter paradise except by His mercy, only! Get it right and never be a religious fanatic.
The inside story of Belgium foods. I was there at the beginning, the good days is full of memories of dedication and preseverance to succeed when my dearest mum will make the food and we'll help her to hawk it to the taxi park at dubar junction. It was the early years of the construction of Jakande estate when the workers are in short of food supply.
The advantage came and many of them started coming around to patronize her for food. The food network started growing and this brought many people especially students from only boys and people around the environ to come and patronize her because of the quality of the food and availability of varieties.
To God be the glory the name Belgium came from customers who never felt disappointed in the quality and varieties of food served.
The success story of Belgium Foods is monumental and this can be traced to the organizational and operational skills that was applied by our late dad Alh. Yusuff Amuda Falana (Baba Belgium) may his soul continue to rest in peace, he introduced many mechanism to ease the difficult angle of the business.
Today, Belgium foods through different transformation have grown to an household name in Nigeria and abroad and by the grace and mercy of God Belgium foods branch office has opened at Ago palace way okota Lagos since 2015.
The success story is endless and praise to the Almighty Allah who is the foundation and the strength of the business.
Appreciating all the customers both old and new for their support and steadfastness with our brand. We are totally grateful for keeping us in business with your prayers and patronage.
Thank you all.
Wow! This is thrilling. And we thank God Baba's legacy has been carried in to this day. May his soul rest in peace.
Amen . @bukapreneur well done and God bless you, keep on with the good work .👏👏👏

Hard work pays ....It is obvious that the Mama Belgium is a good woman. She has staff that has stayed with her for many years. Kudos! Good role model
I used used to live in Jakande Estate, Mile2, the same estate as Mama's restaurant, before I moved to the UK 19 years ago. I used to eat there with my friends but I haven't been there since because I didn't know that the restaurant was still around. I hope now that every time I visit Nigeria I visit the restaurant. I'm so happy for Mama. May she live long to serve many more customers.
Mile2myhood
It's still cool
She said lt all, lf you are doing cooking business you need to be smart, hard working and the food you cook you must eat too taste good, no rude to customers and the customers lnsult you just lgnore them, lf you can't do all this then don't do cooking business. Well done Mama.
Very interesting, very educative, it’s a much watch for every entrepreneur

@thebukapreneur thanks a lot for the appreciation of the commitment and dedication Belgium has invested to the economy at large.
I am a benefactor of Alhaja Abisatu and belgium as a whole.
wow!wow!wow! Such an inspiration Alhaja Abisatu and Belgium has been to Small and medium Scale Business Owner like me, you need to constantly eat at belgium to understand what consistency means,from the taste of the spicy goat meat stew
,to the that of the bean stew, the gbegiri and ewedu and my latest addiction the fried rice oh yum yum (my favorite)...
May Allah enrich the management of belgium as they continually supply worth for every kobo spent at the buka, a visit to belgium will convince you o becos I cant possibly say all in the comment section.
The stew n meat Kia you are a Belgium person the consistentency is something else
when I was in navy town secondary school in navy town ....I visited the place then ....oh damn , that should be around 1988 to 1993 before I graduated in my school then ....long time ago restaurant in mile 2 estate then
I have helped my Mom to supply Belgium Ponmo ijebu once I so much love the place. I am aspiring to own a restaurant God help me
That's fantastic. I believe you have a model to follow in Belgium Foods.

My grand mom of blessed memory was very successful in food consumption and sale business in plateau state. My grad mom business and work ethic is like iya Basira own. At the apex of her flourishing food business. She had hotels ,houses she owned due to business as a food trader. She is late now, I pray God comforts her
May her beautiful soul rest gently in the Lord's bossom. Is the Buka business still operational and where's it located?
I was part of the students schooling t mile 2 that year. Belgium amala was the best then.
Masha Allah,this absolutely beautiful,may Allah continue to bless your endeavors Mama.

Mama repent from Muslim, Christianity is the real religion, please share this good news to this lady before it is too late.
Are u dump
Your comment is dumb. You should remove it. I am a Christian but this is a stupid statement
So I'm dumb because I speak truth ... wow u are not a christain , if u are u would share the truth. I'm not addressing this comment again, but Muslim is a religion Sending ppl to hell, repent and serve the true God jesus christ, because he is the only way. Christianity is not a religion is the truth
people are testifying how good the woman is as neighbor and business associate and the only truth you have to say is to condemn her religion, continue o Deputy of God
Jesus is the only way, truth and life. No one cometh to the father except through Him.
