BLISS Magazine has marked a new phase in its publishing journey with the release of its 15th edition, a 120-page collectors’ edition dedicated to the life and career of North West businessman and philanthropist Tantoh Edison Fru Ndi.
The edition represents the magazine’s transition from digital-only publishing to print after 14 previous digital editions. It focuses exclusively on Fru Ndi’s personal journey, business career, philanthropic activities and contribution to communities in the North West Region and beyond.
Titled From Dust to Dynasty: The Man, The Impact, The Legacy, the special edition presents what BLISS describes as an intimate account of the experiences, setbacks, decisions and milestones that shaped Fru Ndi’s rise from modest beginnings to the leadership of Dreamland Connect PLC.
In the editor’s note, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Victory Marshall Ayafor said the publication was intended to go beyond a conventional account of business success.
“His story begins in modest circumstances marked by frequent relocations, uncertainty, and the challenges of adaptation,” Victory Ayafor wrote, noting that those experiences helped develop the determination and courage that later characterised Fru Ndi’s career.

The publication traces his early years as a student entrepreneur providing basic services to classmates before his expansion into business activities across several sectors. It presents his growth as the product of calculated risks, hard work and strategic decision-making rather than an overnight success.
“His rise was neither accidental nor immediate,” the editor wrote. “It was built through calculated risks, hard work, strategic thinking, and an uncommon ability to see opportunities where others saw obstacles.”
Beyond his commercial activities, the edition places particular emphasis on EdisonFru Ndi’s role in employment, philanthropy and community support. BLISS says these activities form part of the broader social and economic story the publication seeks to preserve.
The magazine also frames faith, service and community as recurring themes in Edison Fru Ndi’s journey. According to Victory Ayafor, these values remained central to the entrepreneur’s approach to business and public engagement.

The 15th edition therefore seeks to position the memoir not only as the story of an individual entrepreneur, but also as a record of a period in the economic and social development of the North West Region.
The promotional message accompanying the release describes the publication as “more than a magazine”, presenting it as a reader’s digest aimed at entrepreneurs, young professionals, students and others interested in stories of perseverance and enterprise.
Readers are encouraged to obtain physical copies of the collectors’ edition and follow the journey through the experiences and lessons documented across its 120 pages.
For BLISS Magazine, the release marks a significant departure from its established digital format. After fourteen digital editions, the move into print gives the publication a physical edition intended not only for immediate readership but also for preservation.
Ayafor described the publication as an edition readers could “read, learn from, be inspired by” and retain in their personal libraries.
The 15th edition places Edison Fru Ndi at the centre of that transition, using his personal and professional journey as the magazine’s first major print collectors’ project.
