Car Talk › Nigerian Artisan Covers Car In Woven Raffia Palm Cane To Advertise His Business by Rocktation(op): 6:27pm On Jan 15, 2013 |
40-year-old Ojo Obaniyi, a talented artisan from the Nigerian city of Ibadan has come up with an ingenious way of advertising his raffia palm cane weaving services – he covered the inside and outside of his Volkswagen pickup, in the natural material. There are a lot of raffia palm cane weavers in Nigeria, but he among the many has managed to attract the attention of the whole internet, after photos of his unique advertisement-on-wheels were picked up by major news sites. When he was done covering the entire car body, the wheel caps, chairs, steering wheel and dashboard, he jumped in his one-of-a-kind vehicle and started driving around the city, attracting the attention of passers-by. Ojo, who has 20 years of experience weaving raffia palm cane, said “I wanted to prove a point that it is not only the educated elite that can make positive changes in society. We, the artisans also have talents to effect a change and make a positive impact in the society. That is why I decided that I too must do something that will make people to recognize me and know me across the whole world and by extension, prove to the world that Africa and indeed the entire Black Race, have very talented people.” This just goes to show you creative ideas and talent don’t need big advertising budgets to be effective. http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/nigerian-artisan-covers-car-in-woven-raffia-palm-cane-to-advertise-his-business.html

He was the house captain of her boarding school house at Adesoye College, they rarely spoke until he pulled strings for her to be placed on his dining table! At first, there was silence because she missed her old table mate but later they became friends. Little did Aisha Mohammed Sheriffand Ibrahim Abdullahi Atta know that this was the start of their journey towards marriage. The future lovebirds completely lost touch until they met again at Aisha’s 21st birthday in London. Once again, time elapsed and it wasn’t until the summer of 2008 at a friend’s birthday party that they met once again and their love story truly kicked off. In 2010, Aisha was planning a birthday party for her milestone 25th year. She ended up scraping plans for the party or so she thought…! That night she walked into the restaurant where they had plans for dinner and surprise surprise, Ibrahim had planned her party with his cousin’s help. All her friends were there….she was so overwhelmed with joy! After dinner, everyone went to the lounge and danced for a bit, her beau called her over to somewhere quiet and started talking but the bride tells us “I cant remember a thing he said…I was just looking like – oya, where is it? lol!” Ibrahim took out a red box and presented a stunning Cartier brilliant cut ring. With tears in her eyes, she said yes and then the couple announced the great news to their friends. All their years of friendship and love cumulated as Aisha and Ibrahim were joined as husband and wife. It started with the Walima ceremony and then a series of Kanuri wedding events including Kaulu and Kalawathen the Wedding Fatiha at the Galadima Modu Sheriff Residence in Maiduguri, Borno State. The festivities went up a notch at the Wuche Wuche traditional wedding night. The bride Aisha looked amazing in her gold and ivory outfit accessorized with bold gold jewellry and exquisite lalle while Ibrahim looked regal in his grey Babariga. The night was filled with lots of dancing, games and traditional celebration. The next stop was the wedding dinner in Abuja where all guests were whisked into Aisha and Ibrahim’s winter wonderland. Ibrahim was dapper in his 3-piece suit and Aisha was enchanting in her wedding dress with a distinctly stylish bow back detail and train. Aisha’s bridal look was completed by her spectacular pearl hair piece. Love was in the air all through including the groom’s speech which was a major highlight while performances by Wande Coal and Tiwa Savage kept friends, family and the couple grooving all night! BN wishes Aisha and Ibrahim a wonderful life together as one!
