my names are Juliet chigozie Arinze , growing up was fun because as a child you have nothing to worry about lol . I was born in the north but we later moved to east where I did my primary and secondary education . So growing up was memorable in a family of 6 siblings . So I had a great childhood experience.

What did you study and how did you come about Julian interior and furniture?

I studied business administration at the Lagos state university , Julian interior came from the passion I have in making every little space in my house beautiful and I realized I can provide good services for people because that’s one thing I’m very passionate about . And from there we started growing the company gradually.

Providing luxury furniture is not easy, What were the challenges when you started and how do you overcome them?

The challenges with providing luxury furnitures is always about finding the right customers and most importantly the huge capital involved in running the business, in today’s world social media has made it easier for us to find customers online and also with the help of our marketing team we are making progress.

Julian luxury interior and furniture design are so unique and you are operating in a male dominated industry, what’s gives you an edge over others in this industry?

our products are unique because we don’t compromise quality. Our products are made by the best craft men in the industry, and also gone are the days when the furniture business are dominated by the men as u know now there are so many female interior designers that have made name for themselves, so I would say women are taking over the business already.

Covid-19 pandemic affected a lot of industry, how did you scale through?

most entrepreneurs felt the impact of covid 19 because nigeria is in recession already and that makes it hard for a lot f people to afford luxury goods , but like I said we have a wonderful marketing team and our products speaks for itself . So by Gods grace we still make sales.

Naturally women knows how to multi task , though it’s never easy but thank God I have grown up kids , so I still find a way to make time for my family and business as well.

my advise for the youth is to never give up on their dreams , anything is possible when u set your mind to a task. Focus on your dreams and find something u are passionate about , even when it doesn’t work at first , never give up and surely you will succeed.

What’s Nigeria of your dream?

my Nigerian dream is where the government will create an enabling environment for youths to reach their full potentials, provide good road and electricity to enable small and medium scale industries to succeed in the country, basics amenities shouldn’t be a problem in our country but it’s unfortunate we are in a position like this at this time

Your birthday is around the corner, what are your plans? And you distributing palliative?

My birthday is usually celebrated with a small circle of my family and friends, and definitely we will reach out to the less privileged with our palliatives.

The Benin Chief added that people from the age of 40 and above should watch the type of food they eat or consumed for good healthy life which every family home needs.

“What motivated my aim and mission for the business is to create healthy meals for our customers. It has always be a premonition in my mind from those days, when I was in my infant stage. Even to open a restaurant, when I grow up I need to calculate the cost of production of the trade.

“So based on that thinking, I started embarking on research and interacting with the nutritionists all over the world, both in USA and United Kingdom. From my own findings, they all are the same to us. I also discovered that, from the past 100 years, people have been consuming too much of Omega 8 and Omega 6 into their body system, destroying their body mechanism on a gradual process.

“I felt the way to checkmate this much intake of Omega 8 and 6 is to create a restaurant that would not be too expensive, but for food that would be obtainable for the six geo-political zones in the country.

“We put all mechanism in place, that is how we got to this place we are now. But the main fact is that you have to eat according to your blood group. That is what it means, anything short of that, the person at the age of 50 years will be running from one hospital to the other.”

Going further, Chief Osuan added, “Costfromi Big Apple Restaurant is set to provide good and healthy foods according to individual’s body diets. We prepare dishes to match individual’s body chemistry for optimal health results.

“We are using this forum to create a clarion call to the government to create the awareness to see how people can get more of the Omega H3, in order to checkmate the excessive of H3, as a result of bad oils that are rampant in every markets. Government have not been able to suppress it, but, there are many ways to do such things.

“Food that will give you high level of cholesterol is not enjoyment. A lot of people have money in this country, but they didn’t know the type of food they are suppose to eat. There are certain blood group that certain food especially on the aspect of breakfast, launch and dinner because so many people are dying as a result of the food they eat,” he posited.

Earlier in his address, the chairman of the occasion, Senator Roland Owie commended the initiator for setting up the food business to solve the problem of unemployment in the state.

He advised that good food promote good health and healthy living and appealed that everyone should always watch the kind of food they eat to remain healthy in life.

Highlight of the event was the commissioning of the CostFromi Big Apple Restaurant and Bar by the Chief launcher and the Father of the day, His Royal Highness, Chief Uyinmwen Okungbowa, the Duke of Imokpe Imue Dukedom.
