"I
saw what my wife was going through. I saw the stress; I saw the love
and passion of trying to keep up a very happy home, a very happy family,
traveling up and down and then (being) busy on a daily basis," says
Olusanya. "And then you have me, a husband that is totally useless at
cooking or taking care of the house, so you see all this pressure coming
on her," he adds. “Gloo.ng is an outpouring of affection to my wife –
and by extension, to all our target users – to try to relieve her, and
our valued Gloo.ng users, of the stress of this balancing act,
partnering with them to build the happiness they want to build into
their homes and families, by saving them the precious time, the valuable
money and the needless stress spent on the very unnecessary
inconvenience of supermarket visits, which they can better spend on
activities that promote their happiness, such has spending quality time
with their family."
