Nigeria has a vacillating weather. As we get closer to the holidays, the air, laced with the smell of dewy sand and the sight of fog in the wee hours of the morning can only mean one thing; it’s the coming of harmattan. Harmattan is characterized by cold nights, windy mornings and humid mid-days – a bit off-putting huh? Fashion aficionados know it’s time to get into practical-fashion mode; and we are here to help! Get into the perfect, practical, stylish holiday spirit with these must-haves… Flare pants. No more fitted-torture. With these your pores get to breathe and your…

HOLY HUMOUR GOD WILL SAVE ME. One day there was this preacher and he was having his usual sermon when all of a sudden it started raining, really, really, hard!!!! After about 1 full hour of complete non-stop rain, they started making evacuations because the whole church was flooding, but the preacher just stood there in the ankle-deep water. A guy in a car came up to him and said. “Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!” But the preacher just replied, “Don’t worry God will save me.” The man then said “Whatever!” and drove away. The…
What is peach, burgundy, and printed all over? It’s this week’s Instagram style looks! And the slaying continues… of course there’s no better place to show off impeccable style than the streets and at Nigerian weddings (Naija we hail thee!). Instinctively, we were drawn to every heterogeneous stylish moment but nothing could prepare us for the awww-worthy picture which, amongst all others, happens to take home the crown this week. xosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu lạc bộ bóng đá arsenalbóng đá atalantabundesligacầu thủ haalandUEFAevertonxosokeonhacaiketquabongdalichthidau7m.newskqbdtysokeobongdabongdalufutebol ao vivofutemaxmulticanaisonbethttps://bsport.fithttps://onbet88.ooohttps://i9bet.bizhttps://hi88.ooohttps://okvip.athttps://f8bet.athttps://fb88.cashhttps://vn88.cashhttps://shbet.atbóng đá world cupbóng đá inter milantin juventusbenzemala ligaclb leicester cityMUman citymessi lionelsalahnapolineymarpsgronaldoserie atottenhamvalenciaAS…
Taraji P Henson and Terrence Howard’s Celebrity makeup artists, twin sister of Illusions Cosmetic, exclusive interview for Pride Nigeria How did you start your brand illusions cosmetics? Janic I started the Illusions Cosmetics brand out of a need for more options for Women of Colour. I started with Lip glosses and grew the line from there. What’s it like working together as twin sisters? Janice: It’s great working with my twin sister. I know that I have someone that I can trust working with me as well as someone that I’m confident in and someone that I can totally depend…
Make-up has seen its fair share of evolution. Who needs plastic surgery? Today, make-up-and-over has the ability to make you look like a totally different person, just ask Instagram celebrity makeup artist, Poalo Ballesteros – a bit of contouring here and there, some highlighting, and… voila! Who are you again?. But its transformative abilities, believe it or not, seems to be canker-worming its way through “I do’s” and ‘happily ever after’s’ with men taking drastic solace in the legal system to sue or end their matrimonies to ‘deception’ a.k.a wives. We ventured into the streets of Lagos for some vox pop, to…
Being Nigerian – whether residing on African or diasporan soil – guarantees you’re likely to have peculiar items in your home that screams, ‘I AM NIGERIAN!!!’ One of which is the Hausa handmade basket. Used as a storage, no one ever really thought past its orthodox prosy-usage, that is until designer, Bugu Ogisi, broke the jinx. Her recent collection – which she showcased at the Heineken Lagos fashion and design week – incorporates these basket-like handbags. We applaud the creativity but we leave you to decide… yay or nay? Would you be rocking these? Photo Credit: #HeinekenLFDW2015 Photographer: Kola Oshalusixosotin chelseathông…
Ah yes! Everyone is seemingly catching the Nigerian religious bug. The ‘culture’ of vocally thanking God has lost its exclusivity from solely the mouths of pastors/priests and gospel singers, as those pinned circular artist are joining the praise-party. Flavour’s Keneya, Chidinma’s If E No Be God, Korede Bello’s God Win and (just recently) Yemi Alade’s Na Gode comes to mind. It surely puts smiles on our faces, and recently our smiles broadened when Yemi Alade released the video to her song, Na Gode. We love the lyrics but we love the dope style too – the over the top gele… The…
‘Oh come off it, Kehinde, you think I don’t know? Or you must think I’m blind.’ it was the first time in our discussion that irritation showed in his voice. The cursed phone began ringing again and in anger I slammed against the red button. What did Austin know? ‘What are you talking about?’ with the little courage that hadn’t fled me, I asked this question. ‘My sister was at your party, you know.’ he casually traced the edges of his plate with the fork. Darn it. What had that tattle tale seen? ‘I know. So what?’ ‘So was your…
Rihanna is undeniably a walking-coffer-of-creative force to reckon with and has proven she’s not just another stylish celebrity, but is a trendsetter in the world of fashion. The fashion-influencer cum singer never fails to dole out daring and edgy styles, and it’s for this reason we weren’t the least bit surprised when singer, Tiwa Savage – for the family planning campaign shoot – recreated a Stella Jean outfit Rihanna wore to the white house in 2014. The stole-looking outfit from the AW14 collection is characterized by ‘shirt’ sleeves and an Ankara dress – in true Stella Jean mix-and-match-fashion. The…
Anyone who claims they haven’t at a point in time, experienced feeling ‘ugly’ is either in denial or a Mami Wata. Don’t get me wrong, everyone is rightfully beautiful, however, unlike queen B and Nicki, there are days we look in the mirror and… ugh! Just don’t ‘feel ourselves’. Those are the days we want to crawl and hide under our beds if we could; the days our confidence takes a hiatus, giving us droopy shoulders when we see someone we consider good looking walk past us. Truth is, it happens to the best of us, but it is also…
