The African continent is home to colourful and ubiquitous prints that are creatively crafted into sartorially appealing garments; however, the responsibility is left for the wearer to style it the best way possible. For a while now, mixing prints has been a coveted go-to style, so, perhaps you may think there’s nothing new here but we are illuminating this style tip from the runway perspective, specifically Lagos Fashion Week 2018. See below runway styling tips for mixing and matching prints.

Laugh Quote “I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.” Steven Wright Wise Guys Answer To Stupid Question Question: Are you mad? Wise Guy: Why, what have you done? Corny Chat Up Line Hey, don’t frown. You never know who could be falling in love with your smile. Business Joke New Location A new small business was opening and one of the owner’s friends arranged for flowers to be sent to mark the occasion and wish the owner luck.

Celebrities have a large influence in today’s world and the cultural direction of our modern societies, especially amongst the young ones. A good number of celebrities are being looked upon for inspiration by our youths, attracting a large number of following on their social media pages. An issue of great concern to me is the unawareness or, perhaps, the stoical nature of these celebrities. Do they know that their position attracts the responsibility of setting a good example and being upright mentors? Let’s examine an area where these celebrities are setting very questionable examples – the Baby Mama and Baby…
From time immemorial, songs have always served a greater purpose beyond our instant gratification; they leave a lasting impression on emotions and psychology. Have you ever been hit by a wave of emotions anytime you hear a song that reminds you of a special moment in your past? That’s one of the effects of music. As is habitual for us here at Pride Magazine Nigeria, every Throwback Thursday we have the most fun travelling down memory lane. Today, team members share their favourite Nigerian rap songs from 90’s. Gino – No Be God This video – which was first of…
Marriage, in my opinion, is a great institution, but it’s not a bed of roses. During my teenage years, I remember reading Dennis Robins romantic novels only to grow up to the reality that the world, away from the surreal imaginations of a novelist, is a lot different. Truthfully, matrimony may change your physical appearance; make you slimmer, bigger, richer, poorer, et cetera. While dating with marriage in view, it’s important to ‘shine your eyes,’ like they say, to avoid being played and your heart befuddled. During your courtship, take into cognizance the person’s character flaws and strengths to avoid…
Have you ever come across someone with a prominent tribal mark, only to catch yourself staring out of curiosity or bewilderment? Well, those camped on this side of the divide may come off as less offensive than those on the opposite side who ignorantly make snide comments about it. Our Woman Crush Wednesday, Adetutu Oj, has experienced a profuse amount of discrimination attached to her facial tribal markings. Tribal marks are cultural emblems used to identify those from specific clans, however, unlike totems in form of clothing that can be changed or carved objects that can be tossed away or…
My dear daughter, Life is a journey with unexpected turns that take us through pleasant experiences or downright awful ones. The truth is that our lives can change quite suddenly for good or bad. My dear, to properly navigate through life with little to no hiccups, I’d advice you to find a good mentor. A good mentor will help you cope with upheavals within every facet of your life. They’ll teach you the importance of interacting with people you meet with thoughtfulness, respect and above all kindness. My dear, if you find yourself being a mentor, endeavour to transmit the…
My Dear, I don’t think you are being fair to your husband. The fact that he is comfortable around your sister might stem from the fact that he loves you and regards your sister as his sister too. This is quite normal among in-laws. I don’t think you should read a different meaning into their relationship. Your sister being attractive does not make her stupid. But if your suspicion is growing stronger, it’s best to have a chat with your sister and make her know that she should never do anything that will hurt you or bring shame to your…
