NIGERIAN DOLL CREATED BY MAN WHO COULDN'T FIND A BLACK TOY FOR HIS NIECE
A man who couldn't find a black doll in the shops as a gift
for his niece decided to take matters into his own hands.
In 2007, Taofick Okoya, 43, created his own doll that
Nigerian girls could identify with by recreating their skin colour and style -
and it is now so successful that it is outselling Barbie.
The doll, which is called Queens of Africa, comes with
traditional outfits and accessories and costs around £4.50.
