Image
By
Hello guys! How have you been? Y'all remember Oluwaloseyi Olusanya of Multi Kuti? Well, I had a little chat with him on his business, what motivates him and why he chose that line of entrepreneurship. Enjoy!

 Q: Could you tell us more about yourself?
A:  My name is Oluwaloseyi Olusanya. I'm in my 2nd year at babcock University and I am studying International Law and Diplomacy.

 Q: How was growing up like? Was either parent an entrepreneur?

 A: Well growing up was fun as a child I was fotten encouraged to utilize my talent and also was encouraged to be creative in what ever aspect music, art, etc. But growing up my dad was and still is an independent business man so I think I picked one or two things from him.

 Q: What inspired you to venture into entrepreneurship and why did you choose this particular type of business?
A: What inspired me? Well looking at most African designers they are all into promotion of the African culture through the use of traditional fabrics so I thought to my self aside from clothing what else could traditional fabric be applied to? Then the thought of nap sacks came to mind giving it a new and more original look with the use of traditional fabric so I pitched the idea to some friends. One thing lead to another, got some monetary support and multi kuti was formed.

Q:Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
A: In the next five years I see my self employed, financially stable and a promising business man. Also a certified diplomat if I may add.

Q: Any limitation(s) experienced so far?
A: The only limitation I face is the same as every new business or enterprise which is recognition and acknowledgment

Q: Do your parents support this?
A: Yes my parents are in full support of what I'm doing

 Q: How does your course relate to your business line? How do you intend to integrate the two?
A: Relationship between my course of study and what I do? I am studying international law and diplomacy and well what I do I am trying to promote the Nigerian culture in a different and artistic format. In other words culture and diplomacy are inter twined.

Q: What do you do for leisure?
A: I spend time thinking, hanging out and interacting with friends and at times play board games

 Q: Final words
A: Well I encourage all those who posses talents in whatsoever, artist or not, to express those talents and also parents should be very supportive of their kids.

Dear Friend,

By
On this day last year, I wrote about the buildup of events that led to my dad’s passing. I also said that day started the most chaotic year of my life. I didn’t lie. Today, on the second anniversary of his death, I thought to write to you about grief and how I have dealt with it because, in truth, grief does not leave you; it just gets better. Over the past year, across my social media platforms, I talked a lot about how his death triggered emotions in me that I didn't know existed—new descents into the deep, new levels of highs—anything to get into my emotions or consciously get out of the physically overwhelming feeling that was like a weighted blanket most days. Because I lived quite far from home—up north, to be exact—my guardians broke the news to me at the crack of dawn that Tuesday, and I was broken, as anyone who hears bad news is. I was stumped mostly, but yeah, I was broken. The first person I called was my mom, and on answering the phone, she started to say my oriki , w...

2018- So Much For A New Year

By
December 31st, 2017. The time is 10:15. My Mum, brother and I are waiting for a couple of minutes to pass by before going to the church just beside my house for the annual cross over service into 2018. My Mum’s phone rings. I pick it up and see that it’s my Aunty. ‘Oh she has even called several times. How didn’t we hear?’ I muttered to myself in Yoruba, my native language. I hurriedly make my way to my Mum’s room to give the phone to her. ‘Mummy’, I say softly a couple of times before giving her the phone. ‘Mummy Branco n pe yin ’ Mummy Branco is calling you. Mummy Branco is what we call my Aunty by. Most people know her as my second Mummy, which is very correct.  I watch as my Mum answers the call, definitely still sleepy. Her voice and eyes would clear in seconds when I hear her say ‘Ehn!’ in a high pitch. I definitely knew something was wrong. She hurriedly hangs up and shouts that my Aunty’s husband is in the hospital and on life support and we had to leave immediately. I...

'It has pleased God to call your Dad home'

By
                                                              Photo by Eyasu Etsub on Unsplash 'It has pleased God to call your Dad home'. I went cold. My arms and feet. January 22nd, 2021 I was on my way home from work when my brother called. He asked for our family -read government- hospital card number. It was a very odd question because my dad had retired -as a civil worker- and we no longer used the card for consultation. In fact, we had been told on several occasions that they had taken his card 'off the shelf'. Besides my brother had his own card at the same hospital, being a government staff. So the question was very weird on all fronts.  I told him I could not remember the exact number but gave him two or three numbers that came to my head at that time. I asked what the problem was and he s...
