Business but you need funds you know?! So, I'll work, save up, set up business then businesses while I still work till the business/businesses become really stable and have expanded then most likely quit the job especially if it doesn't pay well.
In the meantime, I'm acquiring lot of skills that can turn into businesses. I've acquired about 3-4 and have taken 2-3 online courses, I'll add another soon. But be aware that this is Nigeria and anything can happen but as the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day'.

Good morning Nairaland.

I know this is not the right place to write this but I tried writing this in the business section but it is not working so I decided to come back here.

We all have plans for 2021 and one of my plans is to have a boutique somewhere around Ikoyi but recently I saw a post on the net of how lucrative massage centers are especially on the island and since then I have been having a second thought. I am now thinking of having a massage centre instead of boutique. Should I continue my dream of having a boutique or I should try having a massage centre.

Does anyone here has an idea on how massage centers run. Pls I need good and urgent advice so that I can make up my mind on time, thank you.

I need urgent advice

WHY STYLING IS IMPORTANT…..and the psychology behind.

Have you ever heard of young teenagers shopping and shopping as a coping mechanism? Well that’s because psychology has noted the comfort some people find in hiding themselves behind clothes.

Clothing is a medium to express ourselves and how we style it, is our original “expression of ourselves”.
Styling is a way to feel in control of your own identity. Often underestimated, styling is very important. It is also a way to control how our environment perceives us. It lets us structure our personalities in the form of accessories and clothing. It will act as an independent loose skin on your body and bring out the inner YOU.

You could be using our creativity and novelty to mold your styling looks.

In this article I’d like to shed some light on men’s native apparel you should have in your wardrobe in 2020.

Looking back at how rapidly the Nigerian Fashion Industry changed, today there are some traditional clothes designed beautifully out there ruling the African fashion market.

Some of these styles have been upgraded and molded so as to suit the requirements of a chic and young Africa.



LATEST NATIVE CLOTHING APPARELS FOR MEN IN 2020

KAFTAN
A traditional robe with long sleeves

You probably already know what it is, and are probably already scrunching your nose at it. But Hold on! Don’t be so quick to judge.
This men’s apparel isn’t the same anymore as it was previously. It isn’t something for oldies to wear. Thanks to the African fashion industry for redefining its look, making it more chic and pretty.

AGBADA
A traditional wear including three pieces of clothing, a shirt with long sleeves, and a big gown that runs down to your ankles, with an opening (Buba) and a pair of trousers.

The AGBADA is a redefined piece of clothing. Extremely traditional and worn onto several formal occasions.
AGBADA are worn on occasions of marriages. Previously they were only worn by a strong and dominant ethnic group in Nigeria—The Yoruba.
Now several tribes in Nigeria wear it to special occasions.

ISIAGU

A short or long sleeved dress worn with a pair of black pants and often accompanied by a red fez cap or an Igbo Leopard cap.


The ISIAGU or as also called CHIEFTAINCY is mostly worn by the IGBO people of Eastern Nigeria. Higher officials of the IGBO community too are seen in these.
This outfit is mostly worn to special occasions like weddings by the IGBO community. The phenomenon of ISIAGU holds up the cultural expression of the IGBO community’s values which are strength, courage and nobility.

As said, it has most likely originated in Arab it is one of the most popular male clothing in Nigeria. This attire is native to Northern Nigeria – the Fulanis and Hausas. Many tribes in Nigeria have been seen dressing in JALABIYA.

WHAT MATERIAL TO GO FOR…..FOR YOUR NATIVE WEAR

Traditional wear must be accompanied by the perfect cloth material. An occasion’s outfit styling begins with shopping for cloth material basing on how well it will suit you and the style you are opting for.
Ankara, Guinea, Lace and Linen are the most commonly chosen material for structuring traditional wear. These days, even trouser material is being used very much.
Selecting the right material for your attire concerns what you love and enjoy wearing the most. What is comfortable enough and what looks the best on you. Well this is something to also be careful of, since while looking at materials online, you may feel that any one of them might suit your look.

Another thing to be particular about while picking your material is that many styles have a certain material that suits the entire attire. In case of those, it is advisable to stick to it.


THE FABRIC ANKARA

The clothing fabric Ankara is a 100% cotton fabric with varied colorful prints on them. It is always bright and creative and has imprinted African Tribal prints. Its versatility is widespread. African fashion brands have also been responsible for its widespread influence. It can be used in structuring hats, earrings, blazers etc. This printed fabric is also being inculcated onto skirts, gowns, dresses etc.

THE FABRIC ASO OKE

What is better than a local fabric that has lasted through the changing Nigerian Fashion market and successfully removed the threat that was hovering over them! Surviving an industrial change is a big deal.
This traditional local fabric is manufactured by the ethnic group – Yoruba. It is usually made with cotton but sometimes is also mixed with silk and metallic yarn. It is primarily used for making Agbadas, head ties for women, Wrap up, and Filas.

THE FABRIC ATIKU

This Fabric is also majorly made up of cotton. The designs range from being plain, striped and patterned and come in various color grades.

The Patterns of sewing were brought into Africa in the 15th century. African Native clothing even today is simply its traditional wear which has been a little more enhanced in their new and ever growing society. With the increase in demand by young people for more chic and attractive designs.

My step dad is maltreating my mom. What should I do?

He comes back home very late and drunk and beats my mom almost everyday. I have told my mom to leave him but she is adamant, I even rented a house for her at a point so that she can leave him but my mom only spent about a week in the house before going back to my step father's house after my step dad called her and was crying on the phone that he will change.

Yesterday I went to meet her and I saw her face swollen. When I asked her what happened she dismissed it saying it's nothing, I knew my step dad has done it again. I have reported the case to the police several times but all to no avail. I don't know if my mom and my step father made a covenant reason why they can't leave themselves.

Why are men like this? I am confused and heart broken

Zzor:
I will advise all ladies to do away with men who are too clingy to their mum, all those mummy's boy type, your home will be run by someone else and not you.

emmayoc:
I will ask you a simple question beloved. What wisdom is there in osaze disgracing if friend and teammate Kanu? No matter the reason or things behind the scene that we don't know as u claim, does that justify bringing such matter to public space? Being a child of God does not give automatic wisdom. We need to ask the Holy Spirit for it. It is only those blessed with wisdom that should be in counseling unit

Righteousness89:

My GOD Bless you Osaze Odemwinge. Many Have Unconsciously and Unknowingly initiated themselves into Occultic and strange things doing these things..




Osaze, I love your Spirit Bro! Whether or not she meant what u felt, I Love your Spirit.

We Live in very Dangerous times. Devil can enter anybody to do things the person can't Explain. Lucifer is too smart! Any small chance you allow, you are gone! That's why the Bible says " Flee From ALL Appearances of evil..

GOD BLESS You Osaze my Brother!

IAMPEDRO:
Who do you consider to be a liar, Someone that is supposed to give us what we truly deserve to hear or those people who feed us with what suit them? Wait oh...... CNN wasn't at the scene so they can't get a clip from someone at the scene? Those of you saying CNN want to destroy Nigeria with their fake news are the most wicked set of people, yes there is no media houses that will give you the full details about an event.
The Nigeria media houses that were there that very day were sanctioned because they were saying it as it is, if a Media house that is suppose to stand firm and ready to go any length with the government are been threaten, then what did you expect from the common citizens.
