Damilola J. Oladeji — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 00:38:57 +0000

Something happened right now and I’m very angry in #LasisiElenuVoice. How people have turned just ordinary agbada to national emergency, this thing just weak me. TV personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu wore a stupendously unique agbada to Banky W and Adesua’s traditional wedding yesterday #BAAD2017. So because agbada now has button we will not hear word again? […]

Sayo — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:12:04 +0000

Nigeria, present day Nigeria, probably presents as the most unconducive milieu for the heart, act and art of a truly entrepreneurial indigent youth. Do we need to argue this sad fact at all sha?

Bulky wallets: a male sartorial crime!

Akin VoGg — Wed, 25 Jan 2017 06:05:12 +0000

I cringe anytime I come across men with bulky wallets that are overstuffed with paper stash, old receipts, school transcripts, bank cards, dead credit cards, tissue papers with telephone numbers and addresses written on them, condoms (used and new), coins, cut-out articles and job ads from newspaper, business cards, keys and other useless things.

Rachel — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 13:13:55 +0000

There is something about the Black skin, the perfection of melanin that cannot be denied. When people talk about #MelaninPopping, this is because that is exactly what Black Skin does. It shines out; begging to be touched and caressed. It is deeper and richer than anything else. Beautiful indeed. Ben Bond, a photographer for OAB Photography just […]

What do you think of the new six yard Ankara gele?

Rachel — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 11:05:30 +0000

Move over, rose gele, there is a new sheriff in town! I was a massive fan of the bridal gele but did not care for the rose gele. The bridal gele was everything that was good and just and kind. I loved the graduated pleats and the way they shaped any woman’s head from girl-around-the-way to […]

Rachel — Thu, 19 May 2016 13:13:00 +0000

Yup, you’re right; I’d never heard the name Dascha Polanco before yesterday either.

So Ms Polanco of […]

London barber launches Britain’s first Black owned grooming brand

Rachel — Sat, 20 Feb 2016 17:59:11 +0000

This is heartbreaking that it is the first of its kind, but also triumphant that someone got around to doing it. We are really taking the initiative to be our own saviours, to fulfil our own needs, and to help ourselves. Now all we need to do is support and buy from this young man […]
