Taking us back the memory lane while growing up in Igboland. It was an amazing experience back then. Many things have come and gone, but some things are timeless; one of such is the timeless Soda soap used in AlaIgbo for washing, especially in the rural areas. Back then we would use the locally made washing soap which was the undisputed king of dishwashing and sometimes it is also used for washing clothes.
I also remember the days of Duck soap; it was a blue bar of soap used for washing clothes; the Soda soap was more reserved for washing kitchen utensils. Back in those days, especially during festive periods or other ceremonies where usually goat meat was prepared, we were advised as children to use Soda soap instead of using other detergents for washing the animal’s skin to avoid such detergent diluting into the meat.
It is quite surprising that Soda soap does not have as much popularity in the cities as it does in the rural areas; however, Ikenga Store wishes to rekindle the use of the soap, and that should anyone need the soap, we are ready to supply it. Soda soap has numerous benefits over other detergents; over the years, it has mainly remained odorless due to a conscious choice of not using fragrance in production; this makes it ideal for washing kitchen utensils.
The use of palm oil in making the soap makes the chemical “Caustic Soda” used in the production a lot more diluted, thereby making it safer.
Why Would You use Our Soda Soap?
Major Safety Improvements
One of the major concerns that have led to the less use of the Soda soap is its slight hash impact on the skin; however, with more oil used to neutralize the acidity and also diluting it even further, the Soda soap is facing a keen innovation as the premier of Igbo province of Nigeria is sponsoring such research that would enhance our local products.
The one thing that runs the world is improving things; we should learn the culture of always improving our products until we grow. We can guarantee that our special soap from Igboland will face constant modification until we attain something more appealing, effective and user-friendly.
It Is also Cheaper
Sometimes people don’t know what they need until you throw it at their feet, the cost of living in Nigeria is getting higher every day, and we have got to learn how to survive. In every megacity lies the extremely poor people living in dirty slums, malnourished and struggling to survive, with every passing day in Nigeria things are getting harder, and we might think that the ordinary people don’t have parts to play in making Nigeria great or impacting the economy.
To save the economy, we need to cut our expenditure no matter how little; when we think about supporting the local economy, patronizing products like Soda soap would be a great development considering that apart from Caustic Soda, which Nigeria can produce, every other material used in making the soap is readily available here in Nigeria so a slight use of the soap for the kitchen would save individuals slight amount of money, maybe not quite a noticeable amount but when we do this over a month we would realize we already saved enough money to buy a bag of sachet water, and then you stand to lose absolutely nothing using our improved Soda soap.
The smallest bar of other washing soaps in Nigeria goes for N100 (Hundred Naira), and a bar of locally made Soda soap goes for N50 (Fifty Naira); this shows that with every bar of Soda bought, N50 (Fifty Naira) is saved when we consider the fact that it is much better for kitchen use, we may decide to give this awesome product a try.
