It is widely said, and agreed, that iron sharpens iron. This can be said of a Kenyan women group which pooled their cash to put up an apartment with at least 100 rooms and are now landlords.

This group from Kenya simply rewrote what has been the norm with most, or a good number, of saving groups and tread a new path that many have termed as “uncharted territories” as far as women groups across the continent are concerned.

Such an inspirational story!

In the midst of that dramatic world crisis that we are currently living, true faces come to light. While the coronavirus disease has killed more than 109 000 people in the entire world for more than 1 780 000 confirmed cases all across the planet (and more than 405 000 people who recovered), responsibilities, no matter what you can earn or make as a living, are little by little becoming crucial to assume. The first one that everyone is able to take is simply to stay at home whenever it is possible, so as not to expand the pandemic. Another responsibility to take is to help: help hospitals, help nurses, help the homeless, help the people who need it. We can all do that and, for sportsmen and sportswomen who sometimes earn a lot, a donation can have a huge impact.

Senegalese football player Sadio Mané (FC Liverpool, Premier League) is also famous for his generosity, and not only his football skills, since he had a school, a mosque, a football pitch and a hospital built in his hometown over the last few years. He lately gave a donation reaching 45 000 euros to help Senegal fight against the pandemic (which makes 30 million FCFA).

A small team of China medical specialists headed for Nigeria is meeting stiff opposition from Nigerian medical groups who call the visit “an embarrassment” to hard-working doctors in the country.

The visit by the Chinese specialists was announced last Friday by the Nigerian Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire. He said they were coming to combat the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria.

But in a surprising turn of events, the announcement was vigorously rebuffed by Nigerian professionals starting with the Nigerian Union of Journalists whose president, Chris Isiguzo, called it an opportunity for Nigerians to be used as experimental guinea pigs. What do you think?

Biola Alabi’s dream for an American career such as being a lawyer, doctor or engineer died in Ohio when she visited a family friend for dinner. Despite being just a child then, she made up her mind to return to Nigeria and change the African narrative and stereotype in the west.

Today, Alabi is revolutionizing the African film and broadcasting industry. Her focus is on the content produced locally. She is the brain behind the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, the “African Oscars,” some indigenous languages, and seven channels of Africa Magic.
Alabi’s perspective of the world had been honed after living in Cincinnati and Seoul in South Korea. She dropped her dream of becoming a doctor for a media role because she realized that was the tool she could use to transform her mother country, Nigeria, and Africa as a whole.

According to the 45 year-old mogul, monthly periods are spoken about more than issues around health and women. Women have been left to learn things on their own through experience.

After her graduation, Alabi worked on “Sesame Street,” a classic TV show for children. She worked on a project, which was her first, that aimed at helping parents discuss the 9/11 attacks with their children. She got to explore Africa while engaging in international projects run by Sesame Street.

Alabi’s desire to work on the African continent grew while she worked on projects in Africa. She specifically points out a time in Tanzania when the way locals engaged with their content, despite being in a foreign language, inspired her to follow her new-found dream.
Alabi relocated to Lagos, Nigeria in 2008. She found out the continent lacked a Sesame Street version specific to the continent. While working for M-Net Africa, she launched the African Oscars with an aim of telling distinct local stories. To help her connect storytellers with distribution and funding, she began the Biola Alabi Media for consultancy purposes.

Alabi has challenged the stereotypes in Nollywood, the film industry in Nigeria. She has been telling stories like never before. She produces films that appeal to locals in Nigeria, Africa and the entire world. A good example is the “Lara and the Beat,” a film about two sisters with financial troubles who get to rebuild their lives from nothing.

Alabi also plans to develop a nuanced and diverse positive role models for African females. Additionally, she intends to produce a series that discusses health issues and women issues, everything the society never talks about. The mogul intends to complement the series with books, to share with parents.



Having been born and raised outside Nigeria, she developed critics of her works, with some stating that her movies are influenced with western ideas, and thus not truly local. Her works have drawn attention both locally and internationally. As a result, she was listed in the top 100 Female Executives 2018 list on Financial Times. She also appeared in the 2012 Forbes top 20 Youngest Power Women in Africa.

Alabi has also taken part in “Big Brother Africa,” a reality show. In 2010 she began the “Face of Africa” in Lagos, Nigeria. Her number 1 food show dubbed “Bukas and Joints” is broadcast on channels in both Africa and the U.S.

With Nigerian being home to over 10.5 million children who are out of school, Alabi is determined to use technology to ensure that more children have access to education. She’s using media, specifically series, internet content accessible from mobile phones, movies and TV shows to give young Africans free access to informational and educational content.
Alabi is confident and takes time to respond to interview questions. She’s Nigeria’s, media renaissance face and loves both books and travel. She has a good sense of fashion and knows how to live a balanced life. Her “Grooming for Greatness” program is purposed to redefine Africa’s leaders in the next generation.

In her own words, she is strong, ambitious and driven to achieve her goals and dreams. And, with everyone’s efforts, she believes there can be a great impact on the African entertainment industry.

Once again, the Christmas magic wand is upon us, and in our euphoria, we make plans to celebrate this year’s holiday albeit in a different way from the previous.
Here are some quotes that will instigate you to travel.


By photobyphotoboy

1.
“Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!” Charles Dickens.


The Christmas carols by family and friends gathered by the fireside. Clinging into each other with all unpleasant memories of the bygone year forgotten; only joyful laughter and warm hearts at present. For this feeling, if only once a year, we traverse the highlands and dales to celebrate and reconnect with our
loved ones.


2.
“At Christmas, all roads lead home,” Marjorie Holmes.


The always busy cities become deserted over the Christmas season as dwellers pack up and head to the rural areas. Buses are filled up, the fares hike and literally, as Marjorie Holmes puts it, all roads lead home. In all of time, there is nothing as breathtaking as the scenery along the roads that lead back to our roots.


4.
“Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality,” Washington Irving.Characterized by kindness, friendliness, generosity, and togetherness, Christmas arouses in us the spirit of travel as we anticipate a hospitable reception by our hosts. Whether in a hotel, in our childhood homes, or relatives in a different city/country, this festive season always pushes us to be on the move.

5.
“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone,” Charles M. Schulz. Christmas is often described as love in action. For this, we appreciate those close to us through gifts and other expressions of love. Yet, what better way to do a little something extra, than to take the one person (or several people) you love most on a Christmas vacation to their dream destination? Thankfully, travel agents such as Jumia Travel make it easy to plan your trip at low Christmas
deals.


6.
“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection,” Winston Churchill. While most of us enjoy all the excitement of the festivities, others enjoy the quiet
and tranquility as they reflect on the past year, plan for the coming, and rejoice in the meaning of Christmas in their own special way. As a result, Yoga & Meditation as well as Spa & Detox Retreats become more popular in December, with Bali, Costa Rica, and Thailand among other destinations recording increased visitors most of whom are Yogis.

7.
“Our many different cultures notwithstanding, there’s something about the holidays that makes the planet communal. Even nations that do not celebrate Christmas
can’t help but be caught up in the collective spirit of their neighbors, as twinkling lights dot the landscape and carols fill the air. It’s an inspiring time of the year,” Marlo Thomas.


While Christmas unites, we all have our different ways of celebrating and making merry. Varying traditions exist both at the family and community level.
Travelling during this season gives us the chance to experience and immerse in a different culture while we uphold the communalnature of Christmas.

With not more to add to Marlo’s expressive statement, I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
