Husband and wife team, Olusegun and Oyetola Akande, are the owners of Sami’s Online African Foods, a one-stop Afro-Caribbean eCommerce superstore that brings the rich flavours of Nigeria to the global stage.
After noticing a lack of original African-Caribbean ingredients available for purchase in the UK, the couple had co-founded the business in 2009, with a clear vision to provide authentic foods sourced from Africa.
