In a bold commitment to clean, chemical-free food, Ogbo Awoke Ogbo, business owner coach and CEO of Uncle Ogbo Probiotic Fufu, has detailed the rigorous journey behind the creation of his organic fufu. From planting to packaging, the process is a labor of love, dedication, and unwavering commitment to purity.
“The path to creating Uncle Ogbo’s Probiotic Fufu™ is not for the faint of heart,” Ogbo stated. “From the start, we vowed to plant cassava without a single drop of herbicide, pesticide, or synthetic fertilizer.”
The journey, as he describes it, is grueling—navigating unpredictable weather, coordinating with local farmhands, and making numerous trips to the farm in his Ford 250 turbo Lariat diesel. Each cassava root is handpicked, peeled, and fermented using lime fruit for two weeks before undergoing a weeks-long sun-drying process. The final steps—blending and packaging—are completed with precision, ensuring the product remains 100% organic.
Despite the challenges, Ogbo remains steadfast in his mission, driven by the alarming rise of adulterated food products in the market. “Families unknowingly consume foods laced with chemicals—fufu whitened with detergent, palm oil dyed with toxic colors, and crops grown with profit as the sole motive,” he said. “This is why we do it—to offer an alternative that is pure and life-giving.”
The first batch of Uncle Ogbo’s Probiotic Fufu is a testament to nature’s unpredictability. “From an expected yield of 1,000 bags, we harvested just 61. It’s humbling, even laughable, but it reinforces how rare and precious purity truly is,” he shared.
Looking ahead, Ogbo is uncertain about continuing production unless demand proves strong. However, he is willing to forge ahead for consumers who prioritize their health and well-being.
For those interested, each 2kg bag of Uncle Ogbo’s Probiotic Fufu™ is available for N30,500. Shipping across Nigeria is facilitated by GIG Logistics, with costs varying based on location. Due to limited stock, orders can only be placed via WhatsApp at +2348088000111, ensuring a fair distribution process.
“This is a limited batch. Purity is priceless, and it’s worth every effort,” Ogbo concluded, reaffirming his commitment to redefining food standards in Nigeria.
