BREAKING THE BOREDOM

Sometimes in life, I feel we have one or two things we all share together, and now I already understand that we all share somethings together. No matter your religion, tribe, and country, there is something called ‘feelings’, which comes in form of Laughter, Sorrow, sadness, happiness, moodiness, and anything to qualify your feelings. I was looking for a way to preach this commonness which we all share and I thought of ART. Art is a way of expressing your feelings and emotions.

Some people might say Art is a way of life or Art is life itself, true, well said but remember, this so called Art is a living soul for us, as the Planet which we dwell will be an ‘EH’ and boring if there was no ART (EARTH)!!!!. You see the uniqueness in the word ‘art’? Also we will just be an ordinary ‘He’ if there was no ART in our HEART. We live to showcase our feelings in different ways. I collaborated with Fashion, a medium of showcasing art, and this is what this edition is all about. Enjoy this Art and Fashion edition as I present to you the Governor of Lagos State’s ambition towards art. He is such an icon to watch out for in bringing art to a destination. A lot of celebrities and upcoming artiste/talents are also featured in this lovely publication and don’t forget to check through the art gallery for the beautiful works of art around the world in this edition.

My name is Adeoba Abiodun Emmanuel, and I am graced to publish this Magazine. Constructive criticism creates room for improvement. Feel free to send your feedback/ comments or suggestions to abiodunkingscrown@gmail.com

Akintude gets his inspiration from the street and everyday life

To him, music is what he was born with and destined to do. He feels art and music are the same thing. To Akintunde, writing a song is like a picture or story in your mind which you want to pass to people in your music and make clear to them, and that's the work of art as well.

Ar t to me is what I feel. Ar t is breaking bounds. Ar t knows no rules. Ar t is what Life itself imitates. Ar t is life. This is my life.I am Ar t. S o, I star ted ar t without even knowing I was practising it. I'd break apar t toys and tr y to see how they were made, gadgets too and remote controls. Life to me was like a puzzle piec e, a stor y that involves a step by step proc ess. S o, I realized this gift when I was just in SS1. But I didn' t take it seriously till I got to the university, year 2 precisely. I star ted off with pencil ar t, one of which my best was "DE TERMINATI ON" I drew this ar t piec e based on what I felt. There's no ar t without an expression. Slowly but steadily I grew, I explored different lines of ar t. Pencil, painting, 3d, car toon, digital ar t, doodles and then I came across scribbles. Scribble ar t involved me doing ‘jaga jaga’ and creating something from it.

Why do I love it- Scribble expresses me more. "A comfor t zone is a beautiful plac e but nothing ever grows there" This is why I explore. I also love taking photographs, documentar y photographs especially. I love humanity. I love fashion. I love culture. I love music, And I love garri

Ar t is ver y vast. Please explore.

Find your path and Blossom!

I'm still a work in progress

I'm an expression of Ar t

And I really do hope my ar t speaks to your heAR Ts.

Sinc e Ar t is defined as a means of expression, I as an ar tist therefore tr y to find a means to communicate with a c er tain imaginative audienc e through different forms of ar t, ma jorly its usually through drawings, which sometimes do get painted, sometimes I write (even if only few selected friends have really read my write ups) but these days I find myself using photography as a means of expressing what goes on in my head, and therefore I’d say that the impact photography is currently having on me these days in absolutely interesting as I feel there are ver y impor tant moments that goes past us which needs to be captured and its usually a nic e feeling when we stumble across images of these moments months or years ahead.

Art in Nigeria I would say is now a global entity, different Nigerian arts

and ar tist are really capturing the attention of ar t enthusiasts both inside and outside of the countr y. E xhibitions these days are filled with ar t collectors looking for the next best thing in the ar t world.

Nigerian paintings or sculpture piec es sell for huge amount of money at auctions these days, but I’d prefer to not emphasize on that because these ar tists go through a lot of unnec essar y stress to produc e even one painting, ar t materials are rather expensive amongst other things.

AR T is simply appreaciating creatively! appreciating nature, beauty, ar tificial craft, creation, ideas etc with minimum or no words! ar t is expressing and/or communicating the good, the bad and the ugly in the society. It's a way of life in that with expressing and communicating comes learning and impar ting knowledge. ar t is a creative way of provoking in an acc eptable way. L ast but not least, ar t is a job! A means of putting food on the table, paying bills and investing in future.

My ar t is currently one of my side hustles. Gathman.KE deals with creative fine ar ts, logo designs, branding, home and offic e decor and creative designs. That way simply from ar t, I can make a livelihood out of it. I believe in strong relationships and my work has impact on people's lives I make beautiful ar t of people's loved ones ar t had me

talk to students on balancing career, education and talent and also managing their talents. This way making an impact on the generations behind us. I always tell upcoming ar tist "AR T is Free, but the moment you put your skills on a medium you give it your time! It c eases to be FREE and that's when you star t C harging!" An Ar tists work and skill are not for free! Ar t in general (i e Visual, Performing, Creative ar ts etc) in Kenya has grown from just talent to making money. The C orporate World has embrac ed Creatives, empowered them and in turn given them spac e to turn their Talents into Skills into Careers. Institutes of higher learning too are putting more focus on AR TS not just as a back up plan, but as a career. We have several AR T activities going on in Kenya ever yday, some just don' t get that much exposure by the media. Ever yday creativity heightens here in Kenya and some make it to AR T Galleries. Personally I make ar t for sale and on orders, I have never done any for Galleries and E xhibitions but I am working on a few

Ar t Is ever ything, ever ything is ar t. Ar t to me is peac e, it's creativity in an unusual way It can be used to tell a stor y, to express oneself emotionally. Ar t can also be a way of passing messages across. S ome ar tworks needs deep understanding while others do not. Ar t means finding beauty in nothing... beauty in the most disturbing of ar tworks.

I do mandala, caricature, abstract and lettering ar t. My mandala designs are formed from what ot who I'm thinking about or what I'm listening to at the moment and express it with precison thereby bringing something beautiful out of it. My caricature ar t relates to people's emotions and passes a message of encouragement across. Ar t has made me see things aesthethically and see beauty in nothing.

Ar t in lagos and Nigeria seems more traditional or ethical. Most of the ar tworks in lagos have to do with culture from years back to remind us of where we are from and how we have improved through

I am DrTolu Binutu and my brother is Ayokanmi Binutu. We are from Ogun State, even though we have lived in L agos all our lives. I studied Medicine in University of L agos while Kanmi studied Economics (at the same university) before bagging a Masters degree from Leeds University Business School in the UK.

Ar t..Ar t is expression. It is an escape and a discipline, both at the same time.

I will define Ar t as the means by which we make sense of the world and ever ything happening all around us. You see, Ar t and D esign are ver y remarkable, in that they are tools that can be used to communicate and to enter tain in a way that no other tool could. They go beyond por traiture and fan ar t They are our default meansof expression, a way that our befuddled minds tr y to make

sense of the world we live in and the world we carr y in our minds. That s why as kids, we all loved ar t. We all wanted to draw, paint, mold, car ve, trac e, you name it. Ar t is a release. Our focus is on visual ar t and design. We also run an ar t academy called The Hive, where we teach people how to make careers out of their ar tistic skills because ar t currently isn’t regarded by many as a valid profession.

Ar t spac e in Nigeria is ver y diverse. We have lots of gifted people in the sector but the main issue in Nigeria is that ar t isn’t widely appreciated as it should be. To many, ar t is mysterious and cannot be understood But the issue with this is that if the general populac e cannot connect with ar t, then they will not buy ar t.

As ar tists, we are grateful for the third set of people, those who appreciate and are willing to purchase Ar t. They make ever ything wor thwhile.

That said, it is good to see that L agos is really using Ar t as a means of communication in its “L agos at 50” c elebrations. It is quite the commendable move.

Lagos is known to be the Hustlers state in Nigeria, quite true. It is the most commercial state in Nigeria and it covers a lot of people’s success story. Lagos Life crew helped in bringing some Hustler’s love and motive towards life in this edition as we share a lot of stories with you, relax and enjoy the Hustlers and their story.

SHOE COBBLER

FASHION DESIGNER

My name is Kafayat. I and my friend run Dassah Clothier where we make clothes. Fashion designing is stressful a little. The making of the cloth depends on the style. If it's a simple style I can make 3 a day. But a hard style can take up to two days to make.

Just one. And it's just me and my partner that work here. No apprentice yet. People don't want to do hard work. Even the girls. They're finding faster ways to make bigger money. The machines are so expensive which may discourage the parents from helping their children to learn. So those that even want to learn gaan cannot learn. I have a very very very big dream.

I love my work. I'm looking at a bigger firm were I can make clothes all over the world. But a lot still has to be done. A lot.

POLICE WOMAN

My name is Josephine, I'm from Delta State, started this job 25years ago. This is a job I love. Since I was young, I have always had a passion for the police force. Before I joined the force, I used to be an athlete. I ran for Lagos State and later the police force.

In the police college, they don't teach you how to control traffic. You have to know how you will apply the basics that you are taught. My main challenge in controlling the traffic are the ‘Danfo’ (Buses) and ‘Maruwa’ (Tricycles). They just disobey traffic rules every time.

So many people think this job affects my family and all but it doesnt affect my family because I have grown up kids, so they do what I'm supposed to do while I'm absent.

My advice for young and people is for you to love your job, and once you're diligent, the sky is big enough.

BARBER

They call me RGMan, Back in the days when I was in secondary school, I used to play a lot. A lot. One fateful day though it occurred to me that very soon that I would be through with secondary school and that I needed to be serious. So I went to learn barbing. It wasn't easy because of the nature of my oga. He liked sending me on errands a lot which reduced the time I used to learn. But I still learnt it even with the distractions.

Do you know that sometimes if the client calls an hairstyle that I don't know, I just use idea to do something close and go back to learn. I also don't like cutting children's hair. It can be annoying but it pays a lot.

For anyone that wants to learn barbing, don't be scared of your oga or spoiling people's hair. It is when you're scared of spoiling someone's hair that you'll actually spoil it.

I remember when I accidentally cut a soldier. The slap I received that day ehn?! I was unable to hold the clipper well throughout the day!

YAM SELLER

Iya Ibeji Onisu. Ehn, that's me. I've been selling yam for over 50 years. I used just a little money to start then and so is the case now. Little capital is needed. By the grace of God, I make 10,000 naira every day.

One major problem though, which has been so for a long time is the delay of farmers bringing yams and the bad roads everywhere.

PEPPER SELLER

I've been selling pepper for the past 10 years. That was before I even gave birth to Rukayat. Pepper is a daily commodity so sales occur everyday. There is no family in Nigeria that doesn't use tomato, rodo, bawa or shombo.

This means daily income, up to 10,000 naira daily. Yes, 10,000 naira. I would be happy if the government can help small scale businesses and make the funds available to anyone. Not just somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody.

When most people hear of shoemakers they think it's a lowly job, but no shoemaking is a very good work. I Shogito, by the grace of God have been able to build a house by making shoes. I pay my children's school fees with ease. In fact, in the past five years, they haven't sent them home from school. What about those that come and make shoes to send to the white man's land?

Being a cobbler is a work of the body and soul. Yes, it is stressful. There are harmful products we inhale while working but 'ishe ajé ni'. One has to earn a living. The price of raw materials nko?

If you budgeted 20k and go to the market even 50k might not be able to buy what you want to buy. My advice for cobblers is that anything doing should be done well so that people can come later. Forget the high price. I charge customers high because my product is of high quality. And quality will attract people any time any day. Make good products oh! Because if you sell low quality products the same people that said you were too expensive will badmouth you and say 'your market, na bad market'.

LOCAL HERB SELLER

My customers call me Ajoke Iya Alagbo. My customers are around Bariga area in general. I sell them 'Agbo' for Typhoid, 'Jedi' or 'Opa Eyin'. It takes like 2 hours to prepare all the agbo that is needed in a day. I walk a lot during a day to make sure people can have good health and can perform well. Even though the bowl is quite heavy, I have to hawk. It's my duty. So, when rain falls it disturbs my work.

It takes a lot of money to start this work oh! A lot. If you don't have 20,000 naira don't even think of it.

WELDER

I've been welding for 20 years plus now. It's one of the most tedious work you could think of.

Sometimes gan, I think the problems are more than the benefits. There is no light so we are always on generator. The machines we need to work nko? They are very expensive. And I don't know why customers are on the decrease but we will manage. My major headache right now is for the government not to relocate me from where I am now.

PLANTAIN ROASTER

I sell roasted plantain. Plantain that is slowly roasted with charcoal so that it can be sweet. To support money made from the roasted plantain, I also sell fruits like apples, bananas and watermelon.

As little as it may seem, I make around 4,000 naira every day. Sometimes people say Alhaja, these things are expensive. Well when the government has made fruits expensive, what will I do? Turn myself to fruits?

ELECTRICIAN

Since I started 25 years ago, I have been known in this area as Mr Tony. I repair everything electrical. I repair coil, stabilizers, fans, TV and pumping machine. I also train those that want to learn electrical work.

My main problem is light. This is because when there is no light there is no work. I need light to power the equipments that I use. And when there is no light people's TVs cannot spoil. So, no work again. I need big connection to big companies. I can fix washing machines, dishwashers and microwaves. So if you give me Abuja connection I can perform. I know this business will flourish. As long as people's pumping machines continue to burn."

MEAT SELLER

My name is Sikiru Alimi and I sell meat. As you know meat is a perishable item. Once a cow is killed it cant be stored. It has to be sold as soon as possible. If not it spoils. Which is equal to total waste of money.

An interesting thing is that customers always want the same part of the cow. Tell me, what do you think will happen to the unwanted parts?

If there is anything I have gained in the 20 years that I have been selling meat. It is this: The tension between the Yorubas and the Hausas has to be handled. This will maintain peace along the routes. After the roads on the routes have been repaired of course.

The Lagos State Government’s artistic footprints are everywhere. Several artistic monuments have been recently built across the state to place Lagos on the global tourism scene. Even the under carriage of the popular Falomo bridge and Stadium bridge have being transformed from regular high traffic areas to a pleasant environment. Here is a collection of newly built and commissioned monument and artistic impressions done on structure all around Lagos. This are part of the urban regeneration to beautify and celebrate Lagos @ 50 and promote the cultural heritage of the state by Lagos state government.

A Masters Student of Architecture

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in one of his speech said “We are already engaging the terra culture and we are speaking to another consultant. We want to have Art theartres in Badagry,Epe, Ikorodu, Alimosho and on the mainland. We already have one . This is where the energy of Lagos is and that is where we should go”

Hence, Hush in support of the Governor’s decision provided a 3-Dimensional Design of an Art Theartre which can fit in various fore mentioned places in Lagos State.

Popular On-Air-Personality, Omotunde Adebowale David popularly known as LOLO 1 on Wazobia FM’s Oga Madam and for her role as “Adaku” in Jenifa’s Diary needs no introduction. Lolo had a fund and bubbly chat with HUSH magazine about growing up, her career as an actress, comedienne and radio presenter, being a mum and her amazing role as “Adaku” in the popular comedy series. Enjoy!

HUSH: We will like to know how you came into the show Biz?

LOLO: Well, I studied law and practised, but I’ve always known that I wanted to do entertainment, I just did not know what part of entertainment I wanted to do. So after I practised Law for about three years, I had to take a shift and change the direction I was going, so I went to a training school, (Federal Radio Cooperation Training School), that was where I went to do a little training about presentation. From there, I was employed on radio.

I think Radio Nigeria were the ones that helped me and set me on my radio journey because after I finished the training, I was employed as a contact staff. That’s how I started my radio journey and that’s how I got into it.

HUSH: Okay, how about the comedy part of it?

LOLO: oh well, the comedy part, I guess I have always been a humorous person, I do “Oga Madam” off face and people find the show very hilarious on radio. Then five years ago, I decided to put the show on stage for people to watch. I did that and the comedy in me just got out.

HUSH: You are actress, comedienne and radio presenter. Is it safe to say you are a bundle of so many talents?

LOLO: Yeah, I’ve been acting for a while, I have done some stage, TV Shows, so many. But Jenifer’s diary is the one that has really given me more improvement, more recognition. And of course, I do music too, yeah, I have like two singles out and maybe one of this day, I will get to shoot videos and set on the music journey.

HUSH: So your Biz is like an all-round package

LOLO: I call myself basically an art form, because everything I do is tied to one another, music is Art, dance is art, I love paintings, I love sculptures, I love all this kind of things, so I’m an art form, I love poetry, I love spoken words, all those are the things I love, and everything I do are kind of connected to each other, most musicians are artist, most artists can sing..... I gravitate around what I enjoy doing.

HUSH: It has really shown that you enjoyed doing what you like, cause the way you played the role of ‘ADAKU’ in Jenifer’s diary was amazing. Do you have any trait of ‘Igbo’ in you?

LOLO: You see, I tell people growing up for me, it’s now that I understand that there is division. Growing up in my own upbringing, I don’t know the different between Muslim or Christian, igbo or Yoruba. My father’s best friend is a Muslim, they build their house side by side, so Sundays I go to church, Fridays I go to mosque. We go to the qur’anic school sometimes, and our neighbours have always been igbo. It was when I grew up then I saw that people are different, if we still have that mentality, I think Nigeria will be better. It’s because there is division in our mind that’s why a lot of things are different, so ‘Adaku ‘is just like a character inside me, I am igbo inside, I love igbo ways, I love igbo dressings, I cook igbo food, you know all those things are things that I do.

HUSH: Can you give us a comparison between Adaku and Lolo

LOLO: You know Adaku is a character inside me just like I’m Lolo on radio, the only difference is that you can visually see Adaku, she has her own mannerism, she likes food, she likes talking and all. But on radio, Lolo is more like a chancellor, she’s more like a sister, you know, there are two different people.

HUSH: Can you tell us what state you originated from, because a lot of people really think you are an ‘igbo’

LOLO: I am completely Yoruba, in fact, I am completely ‘Ijebu’, my mother and my father are both from Ijebu-igbo. So there is no igbo traits anywhere.

HUSH: You said you studied Law, why don’t you just go probably straight into mass communication or creative art

LOLO: Well, some of us, our futures are made for us, it’s you guys that have a luxury of choosing. We, our parents feel like; Oh wow, she talks a lot, then my parent will be like, she will make a good lawyer, and they make the decision for us basically. I don’t regret it because Law has a good foundation, it helps you immensely, even if I’ve done mass communication, maybe it would have been selective, but Law gave me a broader view to so many things, so I am grateful for that.

HUSH: How has the journey been so far on Jenifer’s diary?

LOLO: Oh well, Jenifer’s diary has been very interesting, we are on season eight, and everybody is clamouring for more but they don’t know the challenge it takes to shoot it. Funke Akindele is a fantastic producer, she’s a very great artistic director, she’s somebody I look up to in the movie industry and acting. She’s somebody that does what she says, so even if you are tired, she’s not tired. She believes in the craft, she doesn’t cut corners, she will poush you to your limit. The Adaku everyone is celebrating, she’s part of why Adaku is so good, because she’s going to push her and keep expecting her to get better.

HUSH: For how long has oga madam live on stage been running?

LOLO: I had my fifth edition this year and it was massive and beautiful as every edition has been. \i am grateful to God because it is very challenging to put up a show especially for a woman. I am excessively proud because I think I’m one of the few women in the industry doing this

HUSH: You are a mother of four

LOLO: I have four amazing kids and I love them so much. A girl and three boys.

HUSH: How do you cope with being a mother and a career woman at the same time

LOLO: It depend on what you enjoy. My children love and know what I do. We make space for each other in our lives. We have a working system. The only you have to do to carry them along and have a great support syte, because there are many times I can’t do many things. I trust that my family support would help me and its been working so far

HUSH: In the Jenifa Diary series, who Would be your favourite character asides Adaku?

LOLO: There are many amazing characters on set. I love Jenifa. She a great hustler yet she is not so educated but she tries to get better. She is very kind and enterprising asides the fact that she can’t speak good English. She is an inspirational character and I love her. I like james too. He is fun and very girly but he is not what everyone thinks. I love pelumi as well. She is great to be on set with. She I very calm and humble. If you begin to name, there are so many great thing about everyone on set.

HUSH: People refer to Toyosi as the baby of Jenifa’s diary

LOLO: I guess because she is like the softest character that seems to bring everything together. She is calm. But she has herself has come of age now because she Is married now.

HUSH: what advice and words of encourage do you have for people who are looking into coming into the entertainment industry.

LOLO: originality is what sells. Trying to be somebody else doesn’t work. Our originality is worth distinguish us. Strive and work hard and don’t be like people who complain and nag because they think the world is against the, or they are not getting what they want. There is no nobody in this life that hard work won’t get there for.

HUSH: Thank you so much.

It's so amazing how one's most joyous day can suddenly change into the day you wish you were never born, in a space of 24 hours. A lifetime journey started with a sorrow enough for eternity.

I have never seen the church look so stunning. The interior decorators must have been groomed by angels. So magical. The flowers were all natural and imported, the frangrance it added to the environment was so rejuvenating. As if that was not enough, the cottons and ribbons used to decorate the walls match so perfectly. The chairs were properly arranged, parent of the groom on the right while the bride's parent were well seated on the left. The whole atmosphere was filled with laughter and bliss. It was impossible to convey in words, the thrilling atmosphere that very day. As the bride is being walked down the aisle by her father, their steppings match the perfect warbling of the classical band. Love was in the atmosphere but no where in my heart. Can't I just drop out of sight and be lost for ever and ever? "Taade Tade!! Ye.. Yessir! "We need your reply", the pastor said gently. I'm sorry sir, what's the questiiion? I was lost in thought, never knew it was time to say "Yes, I do" My wife-to-be can't help it, she bursted into tears immediately. I didnt know when I joined her. The altar turned into a weeping ground. "Awwwwwn this is tears of joy", one of the bride's maid said. Who do I relate my predicament to? As the thought flows through my mind, I began to flash back on some days prior the wedding day. When love happens, you only see your lover. Every other personality is "a nobody". It captures the soul and render the body useless, almost insensible. You lose your sense of reasoning when you fall in love.

It is so evident that I love Funke. Our parents are best friends. In fact, her house is a shouting distance away from my house. We literally grew up together. Very homely, too generous and obviously, so beautiful. Her dark skin glows like the 'excited' star in the sky. You don't need a hanging bulb when she's around, her white and perfectly round eye balls light up the deepest cave. Who does not like Funke? She talks softly, rarely argues and never return insults. Most importantly, Funke is very smart. What more can I ask for?

I can't really put a date to when our love affair started, it just happened. June 11, I decided with my own hands to lock myself in the 'cage' and swallow the key. I took the bull by the horn, but later knew my hands were in its mouth. Enough of hide and seek, let me own you. Fortunately or most unfortunately, she said "Yes"

I can remember vividly, she do disturb me. "Tade, I have something very important to tell you". My responses were usually very cold. "One of those girly talk", I murmured. Maybe I should have paid a little attention or just squeeze time and hear her out. But, who will blame me? I was drunk in love.

Exactly 8:03pm on Friday, about 12 hours to our wedding day, her messages came in strong and repeated. I was startled, thought it was 'marriage-fever' or anxiety.......

Mine: Tade

Mine: I need to see u nau

Mine: We need to talk

Mine: Pls come its urgent

Mine: Come now, pls

Mine: We really need to talk

Secrets unveiling. So the spell of love can be revoked? The heavy wind has blown, the 'iroko' of love has been shaken, quaked to its roots.

"Hello hun, what's wrong?"-Tade

"Come to my house now, I need to see you"-Funke

***Call ends***

I rushed into my car, zoomed off without telling anyone where I was going. Entering her house, I saw her impregnated in her tears. Her eyes were swollen. No one knew, her parent relocated to Abuja last year leaving her in Lagos because of work. She works in Lagos.

Tade: What's the matter? I'm calling mum now!

Funke: Please don't.

(She muffled)

Tade: Then what's all this sudden 'drama?'

Funke: Tade, I really want you to know, it's not my fault, I tried explaining to you but somehow you never gave me audience. Please forgive me, or dont forgive me. But, please don't run away (She bursted into another session of tears)

Tade: Please tell me what's happening. I'm scared.

Funke: My heart is broken and my strenght has left me. Who shall sing my dirge for my voice has left me.

Tade: I'm in the dark here. Take the blind fold off my face and reveal unto me the source of your unforeseen tears. She then handed a brown envelope to me.

Funke: I have kept this away for 5 years now. Please read the papers in it.

I carefully opened the envelope, saw some papers inside.

I read my will while still breathing.....

We can still put up with a snake in our roof, but no one can ever sleep under a burning roof. Life is not measured by the amount of breathe you take but by the moments that take your breath away. My breathe has been taken away but has not returned to me. It was a bad day, I finally admit.

As she handed the envelope to me, I thought it was a letter saying she was pregnant and afraid to tell me. We were raised from a strong Bible believing family so sex after marriage was our watchword. One particular night, I can't really remember what happened, we were deeply driven by our emotions. One thing led to the other. I slept with her that night I proposed to her, few months back. Since we were getting married, I saw no big deal in it, although Funke's mood suddenly changed right after the incident. "Everything's fine Olufunke mi, you are my wife and I am your husband". That made her smile a little.

I just can't raise my voice at Funke. Different thoughts were flowing through my mind leaving me restless. As I quietly opened up the envelope, I saw several white papers, some red, yellow but white was dominant.

Tade: What's this please?

Funke: Please read on. Ah! I'm finished.

Tade: I came in, saw you in tears. Next you handed me papers. What should I do with it? Is this how we are going to communicate when we finally get married? I losing my patience here woman, you either tell me with your mouth or I walk out!

As I brought one white paper to check what's inside exactly, she swiftly snatched it away from me. Funke: OK. I will tell you myself......

If you tell me your mum is the best cook in your town, I will tell you to patronize that food vendor in your street. Your problem is the largest in the world, please hear mine. Life has turned me to a writer overnight.

She finally decided to talk.

My story is quite short but very woeful. While I was in the University, I stay off campus, the hostel in school is so unkept. I had to get an apartment close to school, had really friendly co-tenant. I had a room and a parlour to myself. Fast forward to my final year on campus, we had just finished our last paper. My classmates and friends signed on my shirt and I did the same on theirs. The jubilation ended late in the night. I thought of staying behind in one the female hostels but decided later, to go to my apartment since its not too far from campus. I got home tired. I had to rush to the bathroom outside to take my bathe before sleep carried me to the dream land. I just can't wait to go home tomorrow. Have missed my family, most especially my siblings.

On my way back from the bathroom, I heard some strange steps. "Maybe its Chinedu, he comes home late in the night", I said to myself. Unknown to me, robbers were already in the building about 40minutes ago, carrying out their dirty work. They were on their way out when we met. "Who's there?" "Stop there". Fear of guns, daggers and cutlasses made me lose my bucket, my towel fell right in front of their eyes. They dramatically drew back, grabbed me and had their way. Six of them.

I shouted with all the strength I had, no one came to my rescue, they were all locked inside. I was gang-raped. On my face was a 'calm hate', a deep expression of susceptibleness. Two weeks later, I started feeling feverish, I was sick. In the hospital, the news was broken to me. I was two weeks pregnant. Still battling with rape, now pregnancy.

To cut the lengthy story short, I had to kill the baby. I don't want to put my family in ignominy. The abortion led to some complications in my womb. It had to be removed to stave off further intricacies. Passing through these stages, no one knew. I had to keep it like that to prevent others from sharing with me, the "dark days" of my life. As if that was not enough, the doctor also confirmed I was carrying " the virus". I am HIV Positive. Those hoodlums deflowered me, impregnated me, tore off my pride and imprecated me with the disease. For the last five years, I have lived with these momeries, I remember every bit of it. I was reluctant in saying "Yes" but the crowd at the proposal and most importantly, the love I have for you, made me say "Yes". I never wanted any of these to happen Tade.

I was on the couch some minutes ago, now on the floor, don't know how I got there. Grieve enclasped me like a toddler embraces his mother. Why me? Why now?

It was exactly 10:51pm, nine hours to our wedding day.

Black S oap Shampoo/ Moisturizing Shampoo

Natural hair has a tendency to be and feel dr y most of the time. It is essential to make use of moisturizing shampoos or black soap shampoos that won’t strip off all natural oils in our hair strands.

Leave In C onditioner

A good leave in conditioner help keep natural hair soft and pliable enough for styling. You should look out for humectants like glyc erin, moisturizers like aloe vera and oils like olive oil, coconut oil or Shea butter in the ingredient list.

D eep C onditioner

A deep conditioning treatment helps to restore back moisture, softness and overall health of the hair over the course of the week. Investing in a good deep conditioner or hair mayonnaise will lead to softer hair over time.

Hair Gel

Ever y curly girl needs a hair gel to help sleek down her hair and edges for a more polished look. Hair gels generally improve the appearanc e of your hair and holds your hairstyles longer.

Oils and Butters

Oils and butters like coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, grape seed oil, Shea butter and mango butter help seal in moisture into the hair strands and this helps keep the hair softer for a longer time.

Trigger Spray Bottle

Trigger sprays bottles are impor tant tools for any natural hair care routine. They help distribute water evenly on the hair without creating a mess. They are easy to use and ensure you are not drenching your hair totally with wa

S atin Sleep C

A satin sleep cap or sleep bonnet is quite different from ‘’perforated sleeping net” we are used to. It helps preser ve the hairstyle and prevent the hair from dr yness and breakage due to the satin/silk material used.

Wide tooth comb and picks

Wide tooth combs and picks are also ver y essential tools for natural hair care. Wide tooth combs are less stressful on natural hair and ensure proper detangling. Picks are used to par t and pick up flat hair or twists out and give volume to the hair.

Bristle Brush

A bristle brush if used properly with a gel would ensure your edges are smooth and laid properly. Always use a bristle brush gently on your hair to avoid breakage.

Bobby Pins

Your natural hair routine isn’t complete without bobby pins. They help secure the volume of your hair into lovely styles like updos, pompadours, etc.

You don’t know your hair: It is impor tant for you to take time to study your hair and know the type of products to use and avoid. Knowing your hair would help you make better decisions as regards your hair routine.

You don’t have a regular routine: With natural hair maintenanc e, it is essential to have a specific routine to suit your budget and lifestyle. A student for example can incorporate bi-weekly washes and treatment to her regimen, moisturize hair twic e a week and alternate between low manipulation styles like puff, updos and twist and protective styles like twists and braids to achieve longer hair.

You are not gentle with your hair: Natural hair requires patienc e and minimal manipulation because it is ver y fragile and susc eptible to breakage. C ombing your hair too often or too aggressive is a ma jor cause of breakage.

You don’t stretch your hair before going to bed: It is impor tant to keep natural hair stretched at all times especially at night so that the hair doesn’t shrink and matt up during sleep.

You style and comb your hair dr y/ too wet: Natural hair needs to be properly moisturized before it is manipulated, combed or styled. You should never comb your hair dr y or wet without applying a leave in conditioner.

You comb your hair ever yday: E xc essive manipulation on natural hair should be greatly reduc ed because natural hair is ver y fragile in nature and is ver y susc eptible to breakage.

You don’t keep protective styles long enough to retain length: Our natural hair is always growing but to ensure we are retaining all the hair we are growing, it is nec essar y to protect the hair from time to time. A good protective style should last 4- 6 weeks before taking it down.

You are still using harsh products: C heap and harsh products like the regular orange shampoo we use in our Nigerian hair salons should be avoided because they contain harmful chemicals that strip natural hair off its oils leaving it ver y dr y and difficult to comb.

You don’t moisturize regularly: I cannot emphasize how dr y natural is naturally! Natural hair craves for water all the time. To grow long hair, you need constantly moisturize your hair to make it soft.

You don’t seal after moisturizing: S ealing after moisturizing is one of those things that can make your hair journey. If you have thick hair, you can seal with olive oil and Shea butter and if you have thin hair, make coconut oil and castor oil your best friends.

You don’t use a satin sleep cap: A sleep cap would help preser ve your hairstyle and ensure your hair doesn’t dr y out and break while you sleep

You are not deep conditioning regularly: A deep conditioning treatment with a heat cap or shower cap is essential to your natural hair care routine. C onstant deep conditioning will transform dull and dr y hair to shiny, soft and moisturized hair!
