I met life style blogger, Berry Dakara a few years ago and I was a silent by stander as her love with her hubby Kess (cakes) blossomed. They were kind enough to share pictures of their super fun beach wedding with us and the Nigerian blog scene has continued to wish them well as a couple. So you can imagine…
Thanks to Mrs. Tara Fela Durotoye and the TDF series, I and a host of many amazing women, were invited to attend a full day with the AMAZING Mrs Ibukun Awosika- the First Female Chairperson of First Bank. It was such an amazing honour and a day filled with learning and reflection. Everyone who attended promised to share their learning…
A special skill is required for driving in Lagos. Whether it’s the propensity to withstand long endless hours in traffic, or the ability to drive an almost empty tank for days, Lagos drivers achieve various feats every day. But Lagos drivers are notoriously famous for other things too- such as blatant floating of traffic signals, honking at EVERYYYYYTHING and unnecessary…
I know we are in March, but Love is in the air! Somehow, this month, I have found myself constantly talking about relationships- and believe it or not- it hasnt been about break-ups, cheating men or anything negative! Rather, my conversations have been about the required steps to cultivate and nurture a loving relationship. Every relationship has its ups and…
A few years ago I’d watch on in envy as my friends talked about doing jobs or working in sectors they loved. I wondered why I seemed not to get the same sort of excitement or fulfilment in my own life. Today, things are a little different. I wake up in the middle of the night, completely giddy about Inspired…
I enjoy conversing. Debates, purposeful arguments on policy, state of the nation and societal dynamics. But as much as these types of conversations can be useful, certain types of conversation can be repetitive and retrogressive. As much as social media and other platforms has given many of us opportunities to challenge and discuss our opinions, we seem to be stuck…
It’s the first day of February and I think it’s completely safe to say, 2016 has gathered full steam! In fact January felt like such an active month, it might be tough to believe we are only in the 2nd month of a new year. But just before we slam in on the new month, I think it may be…
It’s strange but 5 years ago, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. In fact I still don’t see myself as one. It’s really about having the opportunity to create my future and entrepreneurship seems to be the only way to express my vision and create the future I want. But as a 9-5 girl with more experience in urban…
Many of us (if not all of us) deal with insecurities of different degrees. From how we look, where we schooled, how much money we have, who we married, the schools are children go to…..insecurities can appear in different forms and can affect us in different ways. While most of us spend a considerable amount of time trying to hide…
Whether we participate in national elections or not, our lives are evaded by several levels of political nuances. The office really is a political playground where power is wielded and sought after through various group dynamics. When I started my first job in Nigeria, I was a real JJC- Jonny Just Come! I knew ‘about’ office politics but i never…
