It’s been 50 years since a popular Nigerian fast food chain which later became known as Mr Bigg's was first launched.
The restaurants began as coffee shops in department stores in the 1960s and were later rebranded in 1986.
Mr Bigg's currently has more than 170 locations in 40 cities around Nigeria, and there were also restaurants in other African nations at one time.
Justice Baidoo spoke to Emmanuel Osugo, one of the pioneers of the chain.
A Made in Manchester production for BBC World Service.
