The Redefinition Fashion Show 2015

Hello guys! So my school had her annual fashion show last Sunday(April 5th) and I decided to give you a little insight. Here's my report, sorry there are no pictures yet. I'll put up the pictures later. Enjoy! PS: Leave a comment xoxo

The Redefinition fashion show, an annual event at Covenant University held last Sunday, April 5th. The show was tagged 'RetroRave'. Simply, the show's essence was to do a time travel into the 40s up into the 80s. From the flamboyant clothes of the 40s down to the stylish and elegant ones of the 80s. Featured designers were Island smith, Ruberlyn, Flawrig, and TheIndulgence(which showcased mainly bowties for the top10 models)amongst others.

The designers were indeed creative, and people gave their kudos for their excellent work and high fashion sense. At the end of the show, Sonia and Esther of Flawrig won the Fashion Brand of the year award carting away a sum of One hundred and Fifty thousand naira. Richard Okpanachi and Nike Balogun won the best male model of the year and the best female model of the year, respectively.

Another highlight of the show was the Edison brothers. Faith and DavidEdison are identical twins who participated in the Fashion show and even slugged it out at the top 10 male models. The audience was amazed at their resemblance and most people could not tell when either one of them came up on stage.
Celebrity fashion designer, Mai Atafo was present at the event, as well as Josh Samuels.

Notable also at the event was top-notch photographer, LexAsh, a graduate of Covenant University. Another notable personality present was Onyinye Fafi-Obi, Lanre Da-Silva’s representative.

This year's edition of the Redefinition Fashion Show has got everybody talking as it was far above their expectation. Kudos to the designers and the models, they did a fantastic job pulling off what they love to do best.

Dear Friend,

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

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'

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...
