@thisdaystyle |

It’s two weeks to Christmas, and aside from the now familiar annual Christmas decorations on Ajose Adeogun road here in Lagos, it doesn’t feel “Christmassy” yet. Or is it just me? It’s not surprising, considering all we are dealing with in the country right now. Does anyone know when the queues at the filling stations will end? Phew. It’s a whole lot.

Whatever the case, we should endeavour not to forget that Christmas is a heartwarming season that is all about love, peace, goodwill and giving back. Now, while some of us are lucky enough to have friends, family, and warm homes where we can celebrate the holidays, others are not so fortunate. Believe it or not, it can be very challenging for those who are homeless, recently bereaved, lonely or struggling to make ends meet. If that isn’t the case for you, you should be more than thankful and consider going out of your way to help those in need. Giving is an act of kindness whose benefits are greater than most recognise. Research shows that acts of kindness can significantly benefit your happiness, health and sense of well-being and those of the people you help. Again I know it was a challenging year; some people got laid off, others had their salaries cut, and some wages remained the same despite the skyrocketing inflation. Even though the likelihood of having leftover money for charity is most probably diminished, the effort and thought do count. There is so much joy in giving and knowing that you have done something to enhance the lives of others. The most meaningful gifts don’t always have bright wrapping paper or a bow.

In the spirit of giving, we at Style have loads of exciting gifts for you.

Join our festive countdown with our 12 days of Christmas giveaway, where we can win amazing prizes every day up to Christmas. Follow us on Instagram - @thisdaystyle for more details. Good luck and Compliments of the season.

Love,

Konye

ERELU ABIOLA DOSUNMU TRUE ROYALTY The Title of the Yeye OOdua holds an important place in the history of the Yoruba race. From time immemorial, reputable women of proven integrity have been chosen as Yeye Oodua of the source — Queen Mother of the House of Oduduwa, thereby shouldering responsibility as the mother of kings and one of the custodians of the Yoruba race globally. There is no doubt that the crown fits Erelu Kuti IV of Lagos, Her Royal Highness, Erelu Abiola Dosunmu, a woman born into royalty and still is royalty. She has used her privileges to impact her community, the Yoruba race, and the entire world positively. Let’s not forget to mention her contributions to promoting education, women’s rights, peace, culture, and others too numerous to mention.

In this interview with Azuka Ogujiuba, the monarch who has put a lot of effort towards unifying and propagating the Yoruba culture talks about the significance of her titles and her plans for the Yoruba people as she ascends the throne.

Tell me a bit about your younger days and the influence it has had on the woman you are today.

You know I come from royalty. My mum was from royalty and then married my father, who is the Prince of Lagos, so our upbringing was very disciplined. So this has always been my life. It is the grace of God the way he made me; I think God gave me a disposition that prepared me to accept the norm of my birth. Even if you’re not royalty, the norm of the old days of a Yoruba family is that you have to be appropriately trained.

The name of the family is imperative, and when you are royalty, it is even worse, so you are taught to observe a certain level of decorum in everything you do. You couldn’t step out of line; you couldn’t do what your mates did; you had to be above board. The nature god gave me is inquisitive; I love people and want to know.

I want to learn, so it wasn’t difficult for me to imbibe some of these qualities, so it’s prepared me for the roles that I now found and entrusted to me in the course of life.

Also, congratulations again on your recent title, ‘Yeye Oodua’ represent? What are some of the responsibilities that come with it?

Thank you, my dear. I consider my new title great honour and a huge responsibility, and I pray that God will assist me in achieving it because, for a long time, my role as the ‘Erelu Kuti’ of Lagos has made me the mother of kings. But now, with the new title, it is much more significant because I have a greater platform to perform the same role as the mother of kings and the ‘Yeye Oodua of The Source’ of the Yoruba race, mother of crown heads of the Yoruba race. It is an enormous responsibility, and it is beyond Africa because the Yoruba race spreads all over the world. We have them in Haiti, Brazil, Cuba, and the Caribbean. So, the responsibility now is to take up the mantle, to add value to these territories and add value to the core Yoruba race of Nigeria, and one can’t do that in isolation. It means that the whole country and community will benefit from these values that one is expected to add to the lives of the people of the race. It’s daunting, but with the grace of God, one would give it a good run—I would do my best to make it work.

I thank God that the imperial majesty deemed me fit to accord me this honour, opportunity, and responsibility. I shall do my best to the best of my ability to live up to his trust and confidence in me.

Who was the last woman who held this position before you?

This position was held by a wonderful woman, the wife of our late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief. Mrs H.I. D. Awolowo It was a very colourful coronation ceremony indeed. How long did it take you to plan and execute?

Kabiyesi told me about it first last Christmas, and at that time, we had planned to start the coronation process by March because it takes a long time. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, we couldn’t. All these preparations must have taken about two to three months. I am a very meticulous person, and for every aspect, group, and committee that put the coronation together, I was on top of it to be sure that everything worked like clockwork. I never leave things to chance because we are all humans, I may have a thought or an idea of how I want things to be, and the interpreter may have a different concept. As a result, I had to

14

be there to monitor how my concepts were being interpreted, so I guess that was one of the reasons why it came out the way I wanted it to be, but it didn’t take longer than three months to put all that together.

Why did you opt for the water signature at the coronation?

I am from Isale Eko, and our main signature is water, and I also live by the water, so I always like to have water around. That was my concept, and I commend the event planner for being able to achieve it—she did an excellent job. She interpreted everything perfectly even though she had only a few days to plan because some other events happened in the hall before our event.

I am curious. You are a practising Christian. How do you combine your religious faith with the responsibilities of tradition?

Why should I not be able to combine? All religions are the same.

They all praise. We have just one almighty God. Eledumare, the supreme being. And the Catholic faith that I practice also teaches the same thing. The almighty God who is good, kind and benevolent enough to send us his son. To come and salvage us and bring us back to him from sin back to the favour of the almighty God. I am sure my grandmother from my mother’s side, a devout Muslim who went to hajj in those days, also believed this. I grew up at her feet watching her every Friday with at least 50 women all sit down together, commune together, eat together and pray and sing to the almighty God and, interceding, you know, so for me, that is my understanding of religion. Our religion is the fear and the worship of the almighty God. You have intercessors like in the Catholic church; when we kneel in front of a statue, we’re not worshipping it. It just conjures the image of that intercessor that we believe is enjoying the favour of the almighty God. We are saying, please intercede for us to the almighty God for us to be favoured, and you have it in every religion too, so I am not confused about my religion or who I am.

You are always dressed in white. Does this hold any significance for you?

It is something that I love. As a child, people who knew me said it was my favourite colour. White and yellow have always been my best choice.

But also, my taking to white has to do with my title. I was told that the first Erelu always wore white. So I decided to do the same but style it in a practicable way. But on special occasions, especially when we have a coronation of a King, I will wear something spectacular or make use of some beads, corals, you know, those are some colours.

So you don’t find it boring having a wardrobe full of clothes in just one colour?

Not at all. I find it quite exciting and quite interesting. I realise that I have to vary it; even if it is one colour, I need to change the style and how it is adorned. I need to have variety. So that keeps me on my toes. I have to keep coming up with new ideas and a new concept of white. I hope to keep the people looking at me interested enough, not finding it boring, you know, so I interpret it in so many different ways.

Do you have any woman who has influenced you in any way?

You know, I have a retinue of strong women in my family that I have unconsciously emulated. I believe that a woman can do whatever she wants to do. She must be fearless and not intimidated by anyone because she can achieve like anyone. Aside from my family, as I grew, there were other women I admired. But those who formed me into what I am today are the women in my family, starting from my grandmother and mother, who were equally strong in their achievements. My aunt was a principal of a school in Benin where her husband worked as a But also, my taking medical doctor. I grew up amongst very strong to white has to do independent women who have all made a strong impact on my life. with my title. I was

told that the first Erelu always wore white.

So I decided to do the same but style it in a practicable way.”

So what keeps you busy these days?

I have always been doing what I know how to do best—enhancing the lives of the less privileged. I am more or less in semi-retirement. I

was groping in the dark about what I would want to focus on at this point with reduced energy. Then this recognition came—giving me a new platform, like a rebirth in my love for my people, because with this title, I can add value to the economy. I can go around the Yoruba race to attract investment into the polity and devote my energy to conflict resolution, which abounds here. I have done that in the past, but I now have a bigger platform. With it, I can continue with reconciliation, enlightenment on peaceful coexistence and energising other people to add value to the lives of the deprived.

What are your prayers and wishes for yourself as you assume a new position?

To be a woman well endowed by the Lord and appreciative of the graces of God that she enjoys or has enjoyed. I want to use this medium to plead that we learn to love one another and do the good we can now because we may never have an opportunity again.

HOW TO FIND YOUR PERSONAL STYLE - A simple guide to follow

JULIET OLANIPEKUN

IFY OSAKWE

Finding your personal style is not about following trends but finding what suits you both physically and mentally. What worked for you in your 20s may not work in your 30s. How do you deal with these unavoidable changes? We’re here to help. In this feature, we’ll discuss a few things to consider when figuring out the best style for you. And we do hope these tips come in handy.

KEHINDE WILLIAMS

By Bukola Amoboye Personality: Your outfits usually say a lot about you, from the colours to fabric, designs, layers, and length.

They typically tell if you’re an extrovert or an introvert, fashion-forward, or you’d much rather be comfortable if you’re bold or not if you have high self-esteem and how confident you are. Ever heard the saying, “dress how you want to be addressed”? It is the truth. So what impression do you feel most comfortable giving out in your outfits? If you’re going for bold, you should be more daring in your choices and make statements with your hair or clothes styles/ colours.

18

Skin Tone: Your skin tone can also influence your clothes or hair colour. Have you ever put on a particular colour and had someone say to you, “oh, this is definitely your colour!” or “this colour looks good on you!”

You should probably take note of it next time. Be more experimental with colours and listen for compliments; you can also ask people’s

opinions. We would love to say oh if you’re lightskinned, stick with these colours and if you’re dark, stick with these, but the truth is that with the right combination, any colour could go well with your skin tone. So try out new colours once in a while and see how you feel. Get a long mirror and take a good look. If you’re unsure, get a second pair of eyes to take a look.

BEST FACE PRIMERS FOR OILY SKIN

By Bukola Amoboye

Face primers are a lifesaver for any makeup enthusiast, whether you’re the makeup artist or the wearer. They are essential because they enhance the colours and products used and ensure the makeup stays longer on your face without creasing or dripping when you sweat.

Although face primers generally work for all skin types, some are more effective than others for people with oily skin.

Anyway, if you have really oily skin, can no longer deal with having your makeup ‘shift’ or drip, or are just plain tired of having your face look like it was dipped in oil after only a couple of hours in, then pay close attention!

Ponds Lasting Oil Control: Ponds lasting oil control vanishing cream is a cream that also multitasks as a face primer. It has been around for quite some time, and many people with oily skin have testified to its effectiveness.

Zaron Oil Block: This product was made specifically for people with oily or combination skin. It can help keep your makeup intact for up to six hours. However, you should only apply it on the oily areas of your face or where you are most likely to break a sweat first. For many, it is their ‘t-zone.

and their face primer is definitely a must-have. It gives a fine finish to your makeup and can stay up to five to six hours, depending on how oily your skin is.

BM Pro-Magic Seal: This product definitely delivers on its name. It’s great as an eyeshadow primer and an under-eye primer. We can’t guarantee dripless makeup for 24 hours for oily skin

Tara Mattifying Primer: The Tara mattifying face primer has generally got great reviews. Although some have boasted that it could keep your makeup intact for up to seven hours, it might be a stretch if you have oily skin. So, depending on how oily your skin is, it may or may not last up to seven hours. It is, however, still a good buy.
