Fistula is a big problem in Naija that needs to be checked asap. for more on the issue click HERE

USE YOUR BLOGS WISELY Peace is all about being happy and having a good life. Simplicity is the best way to live. Enjoy each and every day and be good to others too! Why am I saying this? Blogging is an art that should be used wisely to share opinions and not to bring anyone down. Here are some words of wisdom; I would like to share with you today. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry abo...

MY PASSION FASHION! Thanks everyone for your comments behind the one of a kind bag! Fashion is definitely my passion! It is my birthday week so I am doing a lot of soul searching. Speaking of passion, Bellanaija asked in her daily blog, what is your passion? Here is my passion! Having my own fashion private label! Why is it hard to break the urge? I am pretty successful in my current career which I got into by chance; Software development. Yet my design dreams are still a big part of me. Granted everyone would say I am lucky to have my career and especially in a place like Naija, fashion is not generally considered a career. However, in my opinion it is. I noticed people who follow what they are passionate about usually end up happier than those who are in a certain career for a six figure (or fourteen million Naira) income. So here is what I decided to do keep the income and take a couple of business classes, find sample makers and produce what I love and that is, design! What is yo...

Nayo Her voice is soulful and relaxing. Born in Lagos, "Her Nigerian culture traveled with her around the world as a girl, while she incorporated its rhythms into the new beats and sounds she found in England, the United States, and the rest of West Africa. At that young age of 10, Nayo began writing songs and found her influences in artists such as Madonna, Seal, Annie Lennox and Carole King. After a childhood on many continents, Nayo relocated to the US to further her education at Pepperdine University in Southern California, where she graduated with a degree in Business Administration and a serious passion and drive to further her musical aspirations. She was quickly performing shows in Los Angeles and New York City to crowds that warmed to her easy stage presence and the calm cool of her music". Her voice resonates with that of Sade, soothing in the evening and cool in the morning. If you have not heard about her you definitely need to take a look at her myspace PAGE . I ...
