InvestmentSee How A Masters Degree Holder Is Making Money Without Using Her Certificate by Amaga(op): 6:36pm On Feb 04, 2016
To work creatively well is to co-operate with God to continue the work of creation. I got really bored developing my office's architectural designs. Since it is was not easy for me to get my own clients to express my creativity architecturally, I decided to look within me to see what I could do simply but differently to stand me out among my peers with design background.

Out of my many hand craft hobbies which I engaged in since childhood, I chose to develop my hand tufting craft to produce rugs to become outstandingly skillful at it and gradually develop it into a business. I chose this craft for production of rugs because rugs have become a trendy interior accessory in every class of the society.

With this on my mind, I quit my full-time architectural job to pursue a Master of Urban Design degree (part-time) while I equally developed my craft skill as a hobby. After my masters, I did not return to the usual full-time paid job as most of my peers but further developed my craft skill full-time while looking for funding to turn it into an enterprise.Meanwhile, I registered our company name as a client of Abuja Enterprise Agency (AEA) to help promote and develop our vision.

At this time, it kept coming to my mind that "there's a time to be born and a time to die. In between is a time to live for service of God through service to humanity" (James Audu, former NTA DG paraphrased). I thought of how I could be of service to humanity with my current occupation with hand craft. I made up my mind to teach as many people as I can especially young people with the aim of empowering them.

Opportunity knocked when I was invited under our registered company name to be a Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development (SAED) trainer in partnership with NYSC. So far we have trained up to 300 corps members in-camp and 21 of them have decided to further develop the skill into a business.


While keeping occupied with training, with my small team of three co-workers, we enthusiastically continue production of creative rugs which can be customised to our clients' preferences. Our clients range from individuals to corporate organisations including the government.

LiteratureRealization Of A Publishing Dream: The Story Of Judith Iweoha by Amaga(op): 12:50pm On Jan 18, 2016
Judith Iweoha, a published author, began her journey to publishing her first book while at the higher institution. Her plan was to publish the manuscript after her service year but all that changed during the service year when her friends suggested to her to publish the book and use it for her primary assignment. This kick started her publishing drive.

When Judith decided to publish, she had one major challenge – finances. To overcome this, while resorting to prayers, she made huge saving from her allowance thereby sacrificing the ability to buy the things she wanted. This however was not enough. She then approached friends to help her realize what has now become her dream during the service year. Few came to her aid and she was able to go to press and have her first book published. The book is titled, ‘Beyond Ties’.

Beyond Ties is a morally inspiring book which brings to the fore the lives of some students while in the university. It presents unique characters, with their history and motivation, which keeps the book alive with the message of hope, love and more importantly, God.
When Judith was through with service in February, 2015, she took copies of ‘Beyond Ties’ to the Delta State Ministry of Education where it was appreciated. The process of absorbing it into the Junior and Senior secondary schools curriculum is in progress.

One memorable thing about the book ‘Beyond Ties’ for Judith is that it has helped her connect to great minds in the field whose writing have opened her eyes to the need to attack the growing state of moral decadence in our society.
Judith is currently working on her second book which she believes will uplift so many youths disappointed by family and friends who promised to help them in pursuing their destiny. This is primarily because she agrees that is a waste of productive years to dwell on self pity because “there is more than we seek”.

Judith is currently based in Kaduna. Call 08110232452 to order her book, ‘Beyond Ties’.

TV/MoviesTop Nigerian TV Shows Of 2015 by Amaga(op): 1:41pm On Dec 27, 2015
Nigerians are known to be fun seekers and they don’t deserve less. In 2015, television soap opera lovers were treated to a huge package of fun and entertainment in TV series like Tales of Eve: little wonder many of the soaps topped the chart in 2015. ANTHONY ADA ABRAHAM writes.

Jenifa’s Diary

Jenifa’s Diary is about a wannabe village girl who finds herself in a university campus and is determined to feel-among.

She is determined, relentless, creative and rugged. Her different experiences in the “big city” also offer various lessons, which viewers can definitely learn from.

The award winning, hilarious and captivating sit-com has shown that it has more than enough staying power to enthrall, entertain and satisfy audiences over the years.

The hilarious but topical TV series, which stars Funke Akindele as the lead actress, has not only returned to location to shoot its fourth season, it is richer with its trade mark unadulterated humour.

Jenifa’s Diary, a spin-off of the highly-successful movie, Jenifa, is also set to release its music video that combines the music and visuals glaringly that they complement each other and create fun. The song is produced by Fliptyce, with vocals by Funke Akindele Music and K-lite. While the director of the music video is JJC Skillz and Director Q, both seamlessly infused aesthetic and style. The musical video also features cameo appearances by showbiz personalities, including Sound Sultan, Laura Ikeji, Lolo Wazobia, May D, Asisat Oshoala, Kaffy, Gbenro Ajibade and DJ Switch among others.



Super story

Wale Adenuga Productions Ltd. came into existence 27-years ago out of the foresight of a young man, who had trust in God and his ability. When Wale Adenuga graduated from the Business Administration Department of the University of Lagos in 1974, he set his mind on affecting the lives of others through his natural artistic endowments. Wale Adenuga Productions Limited gave birth to some of the most popular and widely circulated magazine ever produced in Nigeria. These were Ikebe Super, Super Story and Binta. When they were published, these magazines sold in the excess of half a million copies per edition. They were a success story. But again for his foresight, the man behind the company recorded Papa Ajasco on the celluloid in 1983 and Binta My Daughter on home video in 1995. A year later, the Papa Ajasco comedy series came on television would reach more Nigerians in this troubled economic period than magazines. His thought proved prophetic. Nigerians in all the states have continued to show appreciation for the programmes. And super story is what has been making people stayed glued to their TV screen every Thursday.

The Johnsons

Recently I started watching The Johnsons, a Mnet Africa comedy/drama family TV sitcom. The Johnsons was probably inspired by “Everybody Hates Chris” as it has some similarities with the series. But, the show definitely has its own unique differences to EHC.

The show is majorly focused on a family (The Johnsons) based in Lagos Nigeria, and how they cope with what life has to offer them. The show features Chinedu Ihedieze(Efe), Osita Iheme(J J), Charles Inojie(Lucky), Ada Ameh(Emu). This TV soap is very funny and interesting; it’s a good watch if you need to lighten up a bit. So far, it’s never been a waste of my 30mins.



TINSEL

Tinsel is a Nigerian soap opera that began airing in August 2008. On May 23, 2013, the show’s 1000th episode aired. It has been called “the most successful television drama on Nigerian television in recent times”. Tinsel is produced by M-Net/Africa Magic.

Tinsel was in pre-production for over ninety months. Over 500 actors were auditioned for the lead role of Fred Ade-Williams before the decision to cast Victor Olaotan was made. As of June 2013, the show’s production cost per minute is 900 dollars, and total costs have exceeded four billion naira. The show was shot in a studio in Ojota, Lagos until March 2013 when a fire destroyed that location. Since then the show has been shot at a studio and a private residence in Ikeja.



Meet the Adebanjos

Meet the Adebanjo’s is a family based British sitcom produced by MTA Productions and created by Debra Odutuyo and Andrew Osayemi. It is currently the UK’s Number 1 British African Sitcom. It is centred on a British-African family living in Peckham, South London. The Sitcom focuses on the larger than life father character Bayo Adebanjo as he struggles to instil his old fashioned African values on his reluctant modern British family. The comedy comes from the typical ups and downs of family life and Bayo’s rivalry with the larger than life and rather eccentric Auntie Funke. The sitcom began as a revolutionary self-funded web series in 2011 and would soon become an international hit on televisions across the globe. With the series being shown in countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda. Since its launch the programme has gained a devoted following in the British-African community. December 2015 it was announced that a 3rd season of Meet the Adebanjo’s will launch on the multi-ethnic content service Lebara Play. The third season will be available to watch from the beginning of 2016 and includes 18 new episodes. Bringing a total of 50 episodes produced.



Skinny Girl In Transit

Skinny Girl in Transit is in its first season but it’s already getting a lot of buzz online. The show is a comedy series starring Ngozi Nwosu and Kenneth Okolie, tells the story of a plus-size radio personality Tiwa, played by Abimbola Craig and her struggle with the pressures of wanting to be in a relationship and to be successful.



Gidi Up

Gidi Up is a TV and web drama series starring OC Ukeje, Somkele Iyamah, Adeyemi Okanlawon and Titi Sonuga. The series follows the lives of four young adults (Obi, Tokunbo, Eki and Yvonne) who are pursuing success and independence in the city of Lagos and all the challenges that come with it. Rich and domineering Miranda, the carefree Lovette; the wannabe Uju; the ex- prostitute Peace, and the trophy wife Cleopatra were those who made the soap great.



Babatunde Diaries

There’s standing out and then there is Babatunde. Follow his daily hustle and see how he manages to survive the infamous Lagos.



Festac Town

Festac Town is authentic, original and was shot as the title tells you, in Lagos’s very own Festac Town. It stars Blossom Chukwujekwu and Francis Duru – What more can we say.



Lekki Wives

Five glamorous and scandalous women come to our screens to tell their story. Rich and domineering Miranda, the carefree Lovette; the wannabe Uju; the ex- prostitute Peace, and the trophy wife Cleopatra.

Because not every one is gonna get married...
In the first place, not everyone is meant to get married. Not everyone is responsible enough or mature for marriage. Secondly, I think that this whole thing about getting married is over-hyped.

RomanceRe: No Sex Till Marriage: 4 Major Challenges by Amaga(m): 11:24pm On Dec 04, 2015
400billionman:
I have found out that modern sinful ladies connect emotionally with their boyfriends and fiancees via sex. A decent man will most likely not want to sleep with a lady he has an intention of getting married to. These ladies will quarrel with you over nothing but cant really say what her problem is, till she snaps and quits the relationship..
I lost a wonderful sinful lady last year who later said she walked away since i refused making a move sexually. Seriously, i wont allow such a thing happen again. Its about repeating. But i just made up my mind to change how i am wired to get what i want..
If premarital sex is good, then there would be no need to justify it.
RomanceRe: No Sex Till Marriage: 4 Major Challenges by Amaga(m): 6:22pm On Dec 04, 2015
I agree with you completely.

jascon1:
if sex is ur religion, then am a firm believer in abstinence. I won't mince words. I have daughters n if I have no belief, then is woe for them. Would be heretic for me to try to see the other side of sex without conjugal blessings. I begin to wonder how Christians view homosexuality as loathesome, but turn a blind eye to fornication. In my mind, we are being hypocritical. I Condemn sin, even if I'm sinful. Where is our conscience at all? It just ain't right sharing pre-marital bodily fluids and yet feeling good that our bodies are temples of God.
A full grown man in his late twenty or late thirty is still testing kitten, while in most places in the world his mates are raising kids. If you can't hold on, then Get married.
You got no money, you're not ready for marriage, but you ready for sex. I'm not lamenting here, cos is a Sign of the last days.
But, am sorry my faith got no compromise and I see clearly
