Adenike comes from a proud tradition in fashion and retail. Her mother, Mrs. Betty Okuboyejo owned fashion label ‘Betti-O’, famous for designing distinctive and flattering clothes, with local fabrics (the Adire) for both sexes, when western clothing was still the trend. Adenike’s extraordinary skills in fashion were kindled and developed, when she worked as an assistant fashion designer in Betti-O under the mentorship of her dear mother.

Her need to get quality and colourful pyjamas for her children was what sparked her interest in children's clothing. In 2000 she passionately began to pursue her dreams by opening her first store in Lagos and since then her business has expanded rapidly into the indigenous retail giant it is today. Ruff ‘n’ Tumble operates a factory, warehousing, distribution, and presently 12 retail outlets in major cities in Nigeria.

Nice! cheesy But you forgot to add this bit:

Dr. Babatunde Okewale MBBS, MRCOG(UK), MFFP(UK), FRCOG(UK) is also the owner of St. Ives Specialist Hospital, which is a multi-specialist hospital with three (3) branches in Lagos, Nigeria. With 8 specialist physicians, the hospital runs an In-Vitro Fertilization Program, which is directed personally by Dr. Okewale.

St. Ives Specialist Hospital made history when it delivered a 60-year old woman, Mrs. Christie Omolara Orurhe, of a baby through in vitro fertilization on Monday 16th June 2014, thus becoming the oldest IVF mother in Africa. The IVF Unit of the hospital succeeded in aiding the conception and delivery of the baby, which has now equaled UK's record of IVF age delivery. The mother and child are in good health.

Leading a team of medical professionals to carry out the process successfully- is the Chief Medical Director of St. Ives Specialist Hospital, Dr. Tunde Okewale, who expressed his joy at the feat. According to Dr. Okewale, physical condition of the mother, and not just age, is the major factor that determines the success or otherwise of conception and delivery through in vitro fertilization.

https://www.stivesng.com/hospital/images/discount-lg16.png

"We treated only after strict medical check of couples. For us, age is not important in our decision to take her on. What was important was the physical condition of the mother. Older women generally make better parents in our experience," Okewale said.

He educated further that there is no age limit for fertility treatment under the law. According to him, the issue of fertility treatment is dependent on the clinical judgement of the fertility doctor and his ethical team. "We took into account the welfare of the client including health and ability of the couples to provide for the need of the child.” http://www.stivesng.com/fertility_unit/oldest-ivf-mum.html

Mosunmola Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife TV has been listed on Business Insider‘s Top 100 business visionaries creating value for the world. She is the only African on the list with a ranking of 56, on a list of 100 people, from all over the world. As the head of one of Africa’s most successful new media ventures, the Nigeria-based television network EbonyLife TV, endeavors to tell real African stories, and change the conversation around the continent. She was described by Forbes Africa, as "one of Africa’s Most Successful Women."

https://onobello.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/12-Mo%20Abudu-OnoBello-820.jpg

Mosunmola 'Mo' Abudu, owns Ebonylife TV, Africa's first Global Black Entertainment & Lifestyle network, which started broadcasting in 2013 to a pan-African audience, on Multichoice DSTV Ch 165. Ebonylife TV, prides itself as Africa’s first Global Black Entertainment and Lifestyle Network with over 8 million regular viewers in over 48 countries. She is also one of the producers of one of the most successful Nollywood movies titled "The Wedding Party," which has grossed over 500 million naira till date. Mo Abudu is also the TV Hostess of one of Africa’s most successful talks shows ‘Moments with Mo’. The show is the first of kind to be syndicated across Africa, with esteemed guests such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari and Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka. Prior to her media career, Mo was an executive at ExxonMobil for nearly a decade, a promoter for the Protea Hotel Oakwood Park and the founder Vic Lawrence & Associates, One of Nigeria’s leading outsourcing firms.

https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/MoAbudu-TW-Magazines-September-Issue-September-2013-BellaNaija-BN-021.jpg

Mosunmola Abudu is arguably the first woman on the African continent to own a pan-African TV channel called EbonyLife TV. According to reports, “the channel is worth N2billion.” EbonyLife TV is a channel on DSTV which has over 15million viewers in 44 countries including United Kingdom and United States of America. It has strong backing by Cross Rivers State government. This is in line with the state government’s strategy for development.

EbonyLife TV is helping to build a thriving Film, TV and Music industry through strong international partnerships, that can develop local talent and empower the next generation, by building an Entertainment and Media hub at Tinapa, that would represent Nigeria as well as Africa. Another powerful move which the channel has made is acquisition of the services of 13 independent producers to produce film content for TV, a project which a film expert estimates will cost about N2.5 million per production.

As a producer, her recent films such as 'Fifty', and 'The Wedding Party,' were really successful at the box office, and they boosted her financial and professional credibility, substantially. 'The Wedding Party,' is estimated to have grossed not less than =N=500 million, at the box office. A sequel is being planned for later this year.

Captain Abimbola Jaiyeola made history when she became the first female helicopter captain in Nigeria, flying the Sikorsky S76 for Bristow helicopters Nigeria. She studied at Abeokuta Grammar School before proceeding to UNAAB for her first degree. She later went abroad and graduated from Bristow Academy in Florida, USA, in 2014, thereby becoming Nigeria’s first female helicopter pilot in December 2014.

https://cdn.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Captain-Abimbola-Jayeola.jpg

About a year after she was in the news again for saving 13 lives from a helicopter crash, after deciding to have an emergency landing on water. Jaiyeola flew the ill-fated Bristow helicopter that was ditched into the Atlantic Ocean, en route Lagos from Port-Harcourt, saving the nation the gory tale of another aviation industry disaster, by taking skillful and motherly responsibility for the lives aboard that helicopter. What she did, is called "ditching" in aviation circles.

https://onobello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/175.jpg

”Ditching” is a controlled emergency measure to land an aircraft on water. Skybrary.com, an aviation website, describes it as "a manoeuvre that, by definition, cannot be practiced and may be extremely hazardous. It is only contemplated when no other realistic option remains in an emergency or, in the rotary case, imminent emergency situation.” Like an aircraft engineer puts it, “Ditching an aircraft is not a joke; it requires ‘plenty’ of bravery”.

https://www.thecable.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Captain-Abimbola-Jayeola-2.jpg

Abimbola tactically located the softest available landing spot - the ocean. The emergency notwithstanding, she did this in quite an adept manner that she did not crash, but landed as predetermined. Some others would have made a bad decision and struck the nation with tragedy. For this reason, Abimbola forever remains a heroine in the hearts of all who truly understand the dynamics of piloting an aircraft.

Odusola Boegheim is a fully certified airline captain on the Boeing 737. She began her career with Aero Contractors in 2002. She’s married to a pilot, and has a daughter. Growing up,her dream was to be a doctor. Being a pilot was her second choice, because her dad was a pilot. She believed her parents couldn’t afford to send her to aviation school, but apparently her father nurtured the hope that one of his kids, would follow in his footsteps. Before she knew it, he was making preparations for flying school.

Afam4eva, you yourself are a tribalist. You're not holy.

We can start by

1. Not moving Biafra thread to homepage - let them discuss Biafra on BiafraSay. That thread ends up being anti-Yoruba because your people can't do without mentioning Yorubas as if we're holding them down with chains.

2. Stop being partial. You get banned for saying 'osu', but you get frontpage for screaming 'afonja'

3. You get banned for posting anti-ibo pictures, but anti-Yoruba pictures get likes.

While you were a mod, a terrible one at that, you and that tout in cultural section, did nothing to end tribalism. You fed it. Now after firing you, you want us to sympathize with you abi? I noticed that you've been groveling for the past couple of months. Pele.

You were able to comment on Yoruba/Biafra matter, while Mynd44 was reprimanded for the same thing.

Check all the sections they made Ibos a mod, won ti bajeeeee. Who goes to cultural section anymore? Check out politics section, only jobless ipod yoots plenty. Soon it will be like the cultural section. Seuun just let these people mess up his forum.

They derive such joy in banning my moniker. grin Yet his people that say far worse things get off, so lightly and are hardly ever banned! One day, another clown had used vile words on my moniker. I responded by tossing those same words he had used on me, back to him.

Guess what? I got banned, the other chap got off scot free, and continued posting thrash for days. Na their way! grin See how he was calling for proof, and trying to claim he was defending his tribe, without being tribalistic. He thinks he is talking to toddlers, not so? shocked

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

Someone should do a documentary on her, because she gives new meaning to the phrase: "Beating the odds & breaking the glass ceiling!" cheesy Instead of our journalist & TV presenters to focus on such a blend of brains and courage, they end up showcasing slay queens, baby mamas and a lot of so-called rubbish celebrities! angry I pray she writes her biography without any delay!

Oluwatosin Oshinowo-Akinkugbe is a bright, young architect, whose futuristic and cutting-edge architectural designs, are beginning to make the Nigerian corporate world, sit up and take notice. In 2012, she set up her own firm, cmDesign Atelier, an architecture design consultancy practice based in Lagos, executing notable projects in the city such as Maryland Mall, which opened in June 2016.

https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TOSIN-OSHINOWO-1024x683.jpg

Her journey into the world of architecture and design, started early in life, from following her father to construction sites. Her dreams to become an architect was inspired by looking at building plans her father brought home, while she was still in secondary school. She graduated as an architect and joined the Architecture Association, London. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Urban Design, from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College, London.

https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/maryland-mall.jpg

Before setting up her practice, she worked for international leading organizations such as Skidmore Owing & Merril’s LLP London and the Office of Metropolitan Architecture Rotterdam, where she was part of the team that designed the 4th Mainland Bridge proposal, in 2008. Upon relocation to Lagos, she practiced at James Cubitt Architects and was team lead on the master plan and Corporate Head Office Building for Nigeria LNG in Port Harcourt.

https://futurecapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OMA_4TH_MAINLAND_BRIDGE3-960x550.jpg
This is an artist's impression of the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge.

Her work on the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge, she said, was intense and futuristic. The team that designed the bridge included five other persons and took about 10 weeks to complete. When completed, the double-layer bridge would not only serve as means of vehicular movement, it would also aid social and commercial interactions among pedestrians.

The Maryland Mall, designed by her firm, is scheduled to open for operations later in June. The mall, designed to take advantage of minimal space allotted for its construction, is a five-storey building with a basement for 219 parking spaces, a Shoprite, four cinema screens, 1 food court, I bar and 40 shops.

Being given such a project to execute, Tosin said, would heighten clients’ confidence in Nigerian architectural firms. “The nature of architecture involves cost and risk. People naturally are apprehensive to let a young person, let alone a woman, take on such a task,” she said in an interview. “My competence is always in question. New clients are baffled when meeting us. The irony is that in my industry, I think it is more of a challenge to be a young person, than to be a woman.” https://guardian.ng/guardian-woman/tosin-oshinowo/

I am from Ikorodu, and I recall how my parents made emotional investments, building houses in the village..... The thing is, I am part of the ongoing generation sent away for school, and then you come back home, and still hear the same things being said before you left. That was the reason our parents paid huge fees for us to study abroad. It was for us to bring back knowledge in whatever capacity, and give our own two cents back to society. Yes we have had some bad people who have abused this trust, so there are people who think locals can’t do things better than foreigners, but there are a few of us who still know what we are doing. So it’s nice to see that this client had enough faith to give us the opportunity to deliver on this project.

Women in Management, Business and Public Service (also known as WIMBIZ) is a nonprofit organisation for Nigerian women. The organization is located in Ikoyi, Lagos. It was founded in the year 2001, to promote women in all spheres of life, with focus on women's protection and development in public and corporate entities, through regular training and networking. The establishment was formed by thirteen vision aligned women and one man. At the initial stage, just 3 women showed interest in setting up the organisation. Omobola Johnson was the first to buy into the vision, then she informed Yewande Zaccheaus and Morin Desalu. The pair mobilised other women, who became the first members of the organisation.

In addition to holding conferences and workshops every year, they also have a full-fledged training centre, to support female entrepreneurs with the skills required to build a profitable and sustainable business.

The WIMBIZ Capital, WIMCAP is the investment arm of WIMBIZ, created to facilitate women’s access to finance by advocacy, training and direct business finance. This program has been created with practical modules, that if followed through by participants, have the ability to strengthen their business, and make it attractive to investors. Embedded in the training program however, are modules that are relevant to women in the corporate sector, who wish to someday start their own business, or run any corporate organization, on addition to being beneficial to women with businesses at the start-up phase.

Jadesola Adedeji is a British-trained pharmacist. After working for SmithKline Beecham Plc as well as GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK) both in Nigeria and the UK, she relocated to Canada for a few years, where she set up her own pharmacy outlet in conjunction with a friend. Her outlet which was known as The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, grew quickly and was a hit with family and friends in Canada. After a while, her husband chose to move back to Nigeria, so she sold the business for a healthy profit, and came back home.

https://techplus.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Jade-Adedeji-1.jpg

The thought of going back into pharmacy did not seem too appealing, so she looked for other options. She found out that an American company called Brickz for Kidz wanted to set up shop in West Africa. They found a willing partner in Jade Adedeji, and she was promptly given the Nigerian franchise. Today, Jade runs Brickz for Kidz, an after-school programme that takes learning beyond the classroom, and allows kids to broaden their education in a non-traditional setting. They teach subjects like Robotics and Advanced Robotics classes! Kids learn how to build a motorized model, and watch it come to life using simple LEGO® WeDo® software.

https://lagosmums.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image2.png

Once their skills improve, the children are encouraged to advance to LEGO® EV3 Mindstorms® classes for more challenging robot-building and programming! Now, Jade Adedeji has switched careers to become a technology coach.

Her company started the programme in January 2014 with about 5 schools, but today 12 schools have signed up for the programme. About 700 children attend the after-school programme, and the holiday camps they run. This is a hands-on class where students build machines, buildings, vehicles and other structures out of LEGO bricks, using one-of-a-kind model plans designed by Bricks 4 Kidz.

https://bricks4kidz.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/June-Camp.png

While exploring principles of engineering, architecture, physics and more, pupils develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. The kids are taught how to build a new project each week. Each class begins with a teacher-led discussion related to the day’s model. Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time, to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another.

Their students work in a lab-type setting using LEGO components such as gears, axles and beams. Instructional content is multi-disciplinary and designed by educators to increase pupils’ general knowledge and introduce S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts related to the day’s model.

Jadesola Adedeji is passionate about children's education and she constantly seeks to teach people, how transformations in global education, are linked to rising costs, mental health, career choices & acquiring non traditional skills, that in today's world! Jade Adedeji the enterprising daughter of Bashorun Ogunmiloro, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that today's parents get the message!
