in Nigeria, after school there's no work. You just have to make a means of survival for yourself

Boluwatife Rosanje is the proud shoemaker-CEO of RARE Creations (acronyms derived from- Rosanje Anuoluwapo Rebecca Evangel).
Last born in a family of 4 kids to Mr. & Mrs Rosanje from Odogbolu local government in Ijebu, Ogun state, the multifaceted Boluwatife shares her experiential journey as a female shoemaker with GODSPOWERPROJECT

GPP- How has the experience been?

RARE- It has been wonderful, you know how life is, sometimes business will be rosy and other times somehow, but in everything you just have to give thanks to GOD, because I really appreciate GOD, it's not by my power neither by my might.

GPP- What continues to motivate you?

RARE- I think me, I see myself as a product of grace, and the support and encouragement I get from my family and friends continue to push me to do more and do better.

GPP- What are your Major challenges

RARE- Basically financial challenges and another challenge to me is the schooling aspect. I graduated secondary school about 3-4 years ago, now imagine my mates are in school, learning, my major concern now is I dont want to see my mates and dodge, that's my major prayer. Me not being in school now, GOD knows best, even Nigeria itself is so messed up, because I wrote jamb and passed, but the university are doing as they like. My major challenge is the need to work on my finance, family and schooling.

GPP- Let's discuss greatest reward and memorable moments

RARE-
Rare Creations will be 2 years by October 17, I was trying to pen down my customer database, I couldn't document them all and I just decided I'd just throw a general anniversary party where everyone should just come, because I intended to do something special for my customers but I lost count. I really thank GOD for every reward, support and love from everywhere.

GPP- Your advice to general public?

RARE- After GOD, the first thing in life is loving yourself, when you love yourself and know what you love, because I know I'm a fashion person and so in life, you have to have self discovery, self confidence and high self esteem. The road to self discovery involves knowing what makes you happy because your happiness should be your first priority because there are times you'll be down with nobody to help, so you have to cheer yourself up. Like I noticed sketching illustrations works for me.

GPP- Don't you feel intimidated in this Male dominated hustle

RARE- Do I? I don't, I'm even proud of it actually, you know it makes a difference being a lady-shoemaker. I say yes, I'm proud of my job, that's what I do for a living.
I came across my boss- a female making footwear and I thought, 'wow, a lady can do this too', but every of her apprentices were male. It became 'since she can do this, I can learn it also' so I had it in mind to learn it.

GPP- Where do you see RARE Creations in 2 years?

RARE- I see the business going international outside Nigeria, though that involves working on myself first, because you just can't go international without knowing what the international market entails, the locations and you know the way we satisfy our Nigerian customers cannot be the same way to satisfy our abroad customers. I want to see my works in boutiques over there, partnering with businesses and companies over there. Home and abroad actually, because you cannot go there and forget your source

GPP- Describe your relationship with GOD

RARE- I use it as a slang already, when GOD is your Sugar Daddy, you just do anyhow. Because me and GOD just click. HE'S my close pal. We discuss and do things together.
Being a lady in a male industry, there are some touches there, but GOD is my close Pal. HE never leaves me, always with me.

GPP- If not this business what would you be doing now?

RARE- If not this business probably as I graduated from school I'd be in a hurry to enter university and then when I'm done with university I'll now come back because in Nigeria, after school there's no work. You just have to make a means of survival for yourself.

GPP- What is the common misconception about ladies in this profession?

RARE- People get it wrong by saying it's a guys work dont forget the saying that "what a man can do a woman can do better" and some people say it's a dirty job and I use to tell people my Yoruba proverb that says "its inside the dirt that we find money "

GPP- So how do you handle clients who ask you out?

RARE- Clients who ask me out I go straight to the point, if I'm interested I'll tell you but if I'm not, we'll just maintain client-customer relationship. I dont bring fun or pleasure into my business. There was a time I had a boyfriend, I said to him 'when it's time to work let's go straight to the point about business here and when we talk about our relationship that's another ballgame. If you want to make pam, bro you're gonna pay but I might give boyfriend discount but you're gonna pay

GPP- How did the RARE Creations come about?

RARE- I was in school when I got the RARE,
I was class captain and there's this room where I usually pray or read. This particular day I was observing a personal fast and the inspiration just popped. So I started wondering what the RARE meant. I have not dreamt of this shoemaking venture then. I only got the name first and over time it started coming to me

R- Rosanje/ Rebecca
A- Anuoluwapo/Adetutu
R- Rebecca
E- Evangel

I asked my mum how my Evangel name came about and she said they were on evangelism outreach when she gave birth to me. I was given birth to during evangelism.
So later when I learned the business and looking for a brand name, the RARE was whistling in my head, in my heart and everywhere and I just added the Creations. RARE Creations has been in existence for over 2 years

God just blessed me and my wife with a bouncing baby girl at 6:15am early this morning. My home has 3 soldiers and 1 princess . I am happy.

Join me to celebrate. For the women looking for fruit of the womb, your prayers will be answered.

P.S: I might not be a millionaire but I do not beg to feed, clothe or house my wife and kids.

My eldest child is 4 and will begin school next January by the special grace of God. I will see all my kids to university level.

I will give birth to as many children as God blesses me with. As long as I keep on performing my responsibilities, I will not lack to provide for my family.

I rather spend on my wife and kids than carry multiple women and live a reckless life.

Stay blessed

I read about how Nairalanders Joetttimua1811manage just #500k for his wedding in 2020 which I really appreciate how he manage himself without own anybody.

Believe me, When it comes to celebrating the union of a man and woman, trust Nigerians not to hold back on providing the best food and drinks, renting a spacious hall, and indirectly telling a friend to say to another friend about the event.

While Nigerian weddings are mostly seen as an opportunity to celebrate with the couple and get free food, the truth is that they are financially demanding. It is in the sense that planning a wedding is not cheap.

With the economic setbacks being experienced in the country, we need to secure our financial future. So, in case you are hoping to one day stand at an altar wearing a suit or bridal gown, here is an insight on how to plan a wedding with a budget of 700,000 or even less.

So With a hypothetical guest list of 100 to 150 people including ( mogbo, moya ) kindly drop your breakdown budget of #700k include weeding attire and shoes for bride and groom, stationary and souvenirs, reception venues and decorations, food and drinks and miscellaneous.

Nairalanders, kindly help somebody with good calculations.

A Nigerian man has reportedly been deported from Canada for killing a Parrot within one month of relocation.

A Twitter user @Dr Olusesan who shared the story claimed the parrot had a GPS tracker but the unlucky man killed it.

“The same thing happened here in Qatar around 2012, One of our country man will just went out at midnight to kill cats to make soup. He has been doing it so long before police get him one night.He was deported too.The funny thing is he was doing good job of around $3k at the time.”

It's not the same opening na...
The one for pee only opens when you want to pee and close back after you pee
But it's advisable to clean up after using the wash room.

A young man who spent all his hard earned money to sponsored his girlfriend's education got turned during marriage proposal.



Some men will remain foolish in this modern day world. Sponsoring a ladies education under what conditions



Watch the war and humiliation that came out of the ceremony. Men will continue to remain foolish in the face of wisdom.

It was an unbelievable sight as a female Pastor has been spotted in a video giving a man breast to suck for healing.

The video which has surfaced online, shows the moment an alleged Ghanaian female Pastor offered her breast to a male church member to suck for an alleged miracle.

In the video the alleged Ghanaian female Pastor could be seen removing her breast from her bra and offering to the alleged male church member who eagerly grabbed it and sucked.

Though reports cannot authoritatively state if the said lady in the video is a Pastor, the video which was uploaded on Twitter, claimed the lady in the video is a pastor.

Sasi54:
I am writing this based on what I have noticed with some men, especially those who are married. There is this my oga that I have b working with for the past six months now. This man has all that is ever needed to make life comfortable for him. He is a car dealer, he has more than six hotels in uyo, he is married & he also has three lovely kids, all boys. Now my issue with him is that he is so found of foreign women, with all kind of desire a man will ever want from a woman, is it the one that has hips, height, dark ,fair, chocolate, u just name it. In a week, will have to book up to six girls for him, this ladies will come as far as German, Israel , Algeria. women of different nationality. I never could believe that people can spend huge amount of monies in this harsh economy that the country is at the moment. I know the wife to this my oga has really tried to curtain his excesses,but no way.wht do you think can b done abt such evil & dirty life style of my boss.
