I have heard a lot about currency trading or as a lot of people call it, "forex trading".Forex trading is a trillion-dollar industry. I know you are asking, why is a fashionista learning about it? Well let me tell you this, ever heard the term a diva is a female version of a hustler? (enough said!). However did you know people are charging big bucks in Africa especially Nigeria for this? According to uber cool blogger David Ajao , "These “trainers” charge between 15,000 naira and 100,000 naira (between $115 and $781) for training sessions that last for between 1 day and 3 days! Now, how someone can learn the nitty-gritty of a sensitive activity like forex trading in 3 days (talk-less of 1 day), beats my imagination! What such “trainers” only do is to introduce their audience to the basics of forex trading and expect them to figure out the rest themselves. The charitable ones among them give their trainees some printed or CD tutorials, and thus the money spent on trainin...

First Ramsey now Van Vicker? Well according to reports and I quote: "V an Vicker, Ghanaian born Nollywood actor has been the toast of many movie marketers and producers in Nigeria for some time now as his face seems to sell the movies. But we hear the marketers are all set to ban the actor because it was alleged the actor always demanded for the American copyrights to their movies before featuring in the movies. Some people alleged the actor would always ask for the sole right to market the movies in America or he would not feature in the movie. But reacting to this allegation, the actor debunked the allegation to Life and Beat, saying there is no iota of truth in the allegation. Vicker agreed that he had a company which distributed movies in partnership with another company based in America, but he did not insist that the right to market the film be given to him. “If I think a film will do well, I approach the owner to buy the film...

A close look at most of the events in town definitely tells a new story of the re -emergence of women wearing skirts. Several years back in West Africa, the only skirt was defined by a simple A line and the maxi which might have been considered as being drab by a number of people. This, no doubt, contributed to the disappearance of the skirting tradition at events. But girls that love the flirty looks did not entirely give up on skirts – thanks to the new designers, there is a resurgence of this fabulous style. Styles range from flayed vintage look of different colors and designs to pencil skirts, skirts that have stunning designs of organza, frills and other spectacular styles that can transform from office chic to evening cocktails without much fuss. Skirts made with ankara (African print) will certainly add classy and stylish look to your wardrobe.

International super model, Oluchi Orlandi, has been appointed the Natures Gentle Touch brand ambassador. The event took place in Jo’burg, South Africa. As part of her appointment, she embarked on a university tour across Nigeria to inspire youths to embrace and unleash true African identity. The brand manager disclosed that its choice of Oluchi was borne out of her African beauty which has continued to be acknowledged in spite of the western influence on our culture. “Oluchi exudes the true African beauty in contemporary style and her story is a huge inspiration to so many youths across Africa. She personifies the identity of the Natures Gentle Touch brand which is the development of hair care solutions that will empower the African to reveal the beauty within and unleash their unique sense of style.” Oluchi will be embarking on the second phase of the tour and feature in NGT’s Unleash Ur Style later in the year. This is really inspiring, wouldn't you say?
