Sharing the post on his page, he wrote:
"I got my first customer this week 🎊 One of our sisters here said she has not eaten yam in about 2 years. She sent money for some yam. So I got the yam on Saturday, shipped it on Monday from London to Wigan. She is cooking yam porridge with eja gbigbe as we speak! Send your orders! 😊"
