By BUNMI SOFOLA It was quite a sight watching Festus drive into the venue of a party in his flowing agbada. Cruising around looking for a parking slot, he finally manourvered his car into a tight spot – it was a fair distance from the party. With his agbada ballooning almost in protest as he […]

By Angela Olu- Ajetunmmobi I am forced to write about this innocent-looking hairstyle called ‘pick-‘n’-drop’, because I have finally confirmed what I thought all along: it and any other hairstyle that just leaves your hair hanging, is GUARANTEED to break your hair! It must, it can and it will break your hair, no doubt about […]

Not too long ago, I went bra shopping. Sorry if you didn’t get what I meant. I went brazier shopping and ran into a young designer that I happen to know. We had two big bags before us to pick from. As a conservative, classic personality, my natural instincts led me to picking the black ones. For me colour was not an issue.

Spending most part of a day in the office of the deputy governor of Osun State, gave one a glimpse of what governance is about. Almost everything she attempted to do was punctuated by a call or someone to attend to. There were of course, the courtesy visits. We even witnessed her manage a near crisis situation.

If I am hurting you in some way but you aren’t telling me what you think or how you feel, how can I adjust my behavior? I am not a mind-reader. In fact, I don’t think I’ve met anyone yet who is. Since we know people can’t read our minds, why do we assume that they can figure out how we feel by our subtle (or exaggerated) indirect messages? You know what I mean… sighing, rolling of the eyes, stoic silence or on the other hand, sarcastic remarks, cursing, yelling or stomping out.

Everyone has seen the Director General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, in full traditional garb. Very few know that he is a veritable sports enthusiast who takes his physical fitness very seriously. Standing well over six feet without his cap, in full sports gear and newly broken sweat , he joins Morenike Taire for a chat after a round of golf at the delightful IBB golf course in Abuja (the best in West Africa and one of the best in Africa), he could easily be mistaken for a tourist rather than their chief host.
