Happy new month lovely people. What a privilege to be
counted amongst the living with all the craziness that’s going on in the world.
God definitely has great plans for you and you must discover and accomplish them
before your time is up. Death and a series of other things made me take action
in 2010 to start my now business and since then I have not turned back. It has
been a journey of successes, failures, disappointments, tears, laughter, new
relationships, breakups and so much more but in all God has always been there,
picking me up when I fall, strengthening me when I am weak and delivering me
when I am afflicted. He is just a good good Father and I owe everything I am
today to Him and Him alone.
I remember when I first
started and I sent a box of shoes down to Lagos, my helper at the time helped
me store the shoes at her house in IKOYI and I was trading from there through
my blackberry, I still remember the first item I sold and sent an invoice for,
it was these lovely black LANTAGEN 94 heels from aldo and i made such a lovely
profit from it because they were so beautiful and I got a good deal for them…afterwards
my other helper FUNSO, the
person who first helped me manage my business took over from there…she was so helpful and I appreciate
her till this day as she helped with my first official customers at her hostel in
IDIARABA, may God continue to bless her and all those that have managed my business
for me till date. God was just blessing me and opening doors for me ..i
remember when we were contacted by Guarantee Trust Assurance(GTA) and we
ordered books for their staff and that pay was very encouraging and we
strived to do better, our customer base kept expanding by the day and God
equipped us…we had customers all over Nigeria, some in remote areas with no popular banks, so we had to open bank accounts to cater to them as online bankng wasn’t so popular
then, we opened so many..lol..we almost even opened ECO bank but never got the chance to complete the
form.lol..we visited so many countries too just so we could offer more and
better for our customers….one country we always wanted to visit due to some
customers request was TURKEY and if not for the bad news we just heard recently
we were actually going to visit this year but God knows best. We have been so
privileged to be at places where we have met with dignitaries like the QUEEN OF
ENGLAND and offered services for her..we
have also met so many other celebrities even if we haven’t worked with
them but just being there and knowing
the influence they have, has just been a blessing in itself and has been very
encouraging .I officially registered Mias’boutique in 2011 and had BISOLA as my
first personal assistant on my payroll, I remember when we took a flight to Abuja
together for business and she told me how that was her first time ever boarding a plane and how she was so grateful to me for giving her such an opportunity.. I felt so honoured to have experienced that with her and be a part
of her story…as I remember the fear on her face now when we took off, its still
funny….she had a good time and I thank her for her dedication during the time
she worked with me. I continue to thank God for all the successful tradefairs we were a part
of and specially to the first one at LEKKI which was the Mobile Marker..
I still remember how helpful and friendly Juwa was(may his soul continue to rest in peace) my heart still
hurts when I remember his death and I pray God continues to keep his lovely wife
strong and give her the strength to move on....Long live Juwa and the mobile market
for you will always be a part of my success story…we made outstanding sales
that day and since then we always supported them whenever they have a
tradefair..from there we graduated to going to other states for tradefairs and
even organized our personal tradefair for the first time in ABUJA. Since then
we have organized in Anambra and Benin and look forward to organizing more..we
always wanted to visit CALABAR but never got the chance to but we definitely will very soon by Gods grace.

We expanded in 2014 to MiasXtra Ltd with our head office in LAGOS,because God just kept equipping
us and we knew the boutique was not just it, so we had to ask God to help us expand and He did. We already started doing
personal shopping, forex and went onto logistics/procurement where we deliver
letters, help source for and buy items
such as WEDDING/BRIDESMAID DRESSES,CAR/MOTORBIKE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES all on a
regular basis and services within Nigeria .God has blessed us in such a way that we
have the means to not just do logistics within Nigeria but to/from Nigeria and
the rest of the world. I spoke to a top manager at DHL and I was so encouraged
when he commended my work and suggested I partner with DHL till I am able to
have my own…When we signed this contract it was just overwhelming what God was doing, I actually
just smiled at God and asked Him why He trusted me so much to be able to do all
this….we have helped our customers deliver goods from Nigeria to
Angola,UK,US,China, Ghana, sierra leone,france,Burkina faso etc..all in good
time from 2-10 WORKING DAYS depending on the service they pay for and we always
over deliver.We have a sister company based in New York that deals with our US
shipment on a regular basis and we also have partners all over the world. We
have divided our services into 4 categories: Online boutique, personal
shopping&services( which have included all sorts from helping buy clothes,
shoes, pay for INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS, HOTEL RESERVATION, INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
FEES and MEDICAL BILLS), logistics/procurement and Forex(We pay your client or
preferred bank account WITHIN 12HOURS and we always over deliver, we expanded
recently and now offer a DOLLAR to NAIRA AND VICE VERSA service ). Each department
plays a separate role and we strive everyday to make our clients the happiest
and most satisfied. We have been so privileged to work with a lot of great web
designers that have helped us in our journey so far..amazing businesses like
PARAGONEFX,GRANDAFFAIRS,IN10CITY etc…these guys are amazing at what they do and
have blessed us with their talents…,may God continue to uplift them.
