So there was this time I was wondering about a characteristic feature that the people of Ghana are known about. I mean, Ethiopia is known for her coffee. Kenya is known for her tea and so on and so forth. But when it was the turn of Ghana to unravel its attribute to me, I was taken aback. And what was it? CHOCOLATE. Can you imagine? I wasn’t just excited because I love chocolates. But I was more delighted to know that Ghana produces something so fun to eat. I mean kids love chocolates. They buy cookies, ice creams or even cakes that are made up of chocolate. And this addiction is not restricted to just children. Adults are also guilty of sharing this same tasty passion. So how do the Ghanaians come into picture?

Although Africa is one of the continents that consumes less of chocolate, this is about to change due to the rise of the middle class. Accra is flooded with luxurious shopping malls and one of the commodities that are getting popular and affordable by the day is chocolate! Cocoa is a significant product stemmed from the territory of Ghana. The people there are proud of it  not just because it generates some modest external income. They are proud of it because it has been embraced by the Ghanaians over the years. That’s why top class producing companies such as Golden  tree  and ’57 Chocolate are consistent suppliers of this tasty haven. Speaking of which…

One of the pioneering cocoa manufacturing companies is Golden Tree. Golden Tree, the backbone of the chocolate economy, has long served the masses with chocolates and our diligent African mamas proudly hawk them to the service of the people. Unlike Golden Tree that is hawked at the busy streets of Accra, ’57 Chocolate aims at cultivating the concept of Ghanaian luxury. They produce a revolutionary artisanal chocolate made from bean to bar by a dynamic duo of Pan African sisters, Kimberly and Priscilla Addison. ’57 is inspired from the year of Ghana’s independence 1957 and it aims at making chocolate from Ghana’s own cocoa beans. 

Of course, those two aforementioned organizations are not the only ones that produce this commodity. They are tons of them out there. But those two have done a great job introducing this deliciously-flavored food item to the culture of Ghana, Africa and beyond! To Ghana, we say 

                                          THANK YOU!

Hello guys. This week I am going to talk about the reasons why Virgin Hair trends so much these days. Ha! I mean, I see this everywhere. My friends have it. Celebrities rock it. Hairstylists patronize it. Almost everyone embrace it. I mean what the hell? I love the slippery effect of relaxers. But c’mon. This is not a topic to be left untouched. 

So last 2 weeks I was deliberating on Why Black Women Wear Wigs. And we kinda exhausted the reasons. Actually, wearing wigs is somewhat related to growing a virgin hair. Keep that thought for later.

Now before we begin to analyze the secrets behind this full-fledged hairstyle, we have to get something clear. 

People use the phrases “natural hair” and “virgin hair” interchangeably as if it’s the same. To some extent they are. If you apply anything on your hair or not, as long as there is something coming out of your skull, that is called natural hair.  No two ways about it. However! What differentiates natural hair from virgin hair, is that in the case of virgin hair, you don’t apply any relaxer or any chemical that isn’t organic.  So, virgin hair is a category under the umbrella of Natural hair. In one sentence:

ALL VIRGIN HAIR ARE NATURAL, BUT NOT ALL NATURAL HAIR ARE VIRGIN!

So let’s get to business! Why do Girls grow Virgin Hair?

For Protection

  The honest truth is that relaxers or other chemicals harm the hair day by day, most especially if they are applied more than frequently. When you relax your hair at every opportunity you get, the hair becomes scanty and unhealthy. You lose its natural richness and that’s not appealing, is it? But keeping your hair virgin, ha! I don’t have to tell you na! You can see how full it looks and you start to envy!

Attraction

Who doesn’t like good thing? Hahaha! Abeg, virgin hair is beautiful. Girls look so African and when they put on their Ankara tires… D-R-E-A-M-Y! Just see yourself!



Trend

 You know how Nigerians or Africans used to jump at anything new that is leading in the “market”.  We like following the stream and even if the thing isn’t fully patronized, just give it some time. It becomes part and parcel of your lifestyle. Virgin hair isn’t an exception. The girl that carries virgin hair is a friend of a friend who is another person’s friend. And with a little peer pressure, there you go. You begin to start mixing ingredients to keep it virgin.

Just to Belong

 The “Naturalista” Community is growing by the day! It’s fun to know that there are tons of girls backing up your passion about virgin hair. It is also welcoming to know that if you are about to start growing your virgin hair, there are girl out there to guide you in the proper way of maintenance. Practically, knowing that you are among the ladies that grow such hair, it feeds your pride.

Self-Esteem


Do you know that psychologists suggest that when you are alone, you should walk around the house naked? They say that it’s a way of embracing or loving yourself from within. Why? Being natural and loving you naturally bring out self-appreciation. That is another good reason why girls love virgin hair. It’s so natural, chemical-free and it boosts their pride. See yourself at the mirror and say: I am beautiful with the hair that God has blessed me with. I tell you! That feeling is priceless.
  
 So because of the reasons aforementioned, women prefer wigs while they develop a virgin hair. So when it’s full enough, they begin to walk around like divas! So if are interested in that trend, don’t hesitate to try it. It’s worthwhile and as long as you are African, it will definitely fit you. I sincerely hope that I have convinced you. Cruise Africa!

Davido’s Fia, Sola Sobowale’s Wedding Party, Toke Mankiwa’s TokeMoments, AY’S comedy series or Mo Abudu’s EbonyLifeTV. These are just a few elements that spice up the Nigerian Entertainment Industry. Everyone’s spare time would kinda be boring if they don’t use it to watch a funny Nollywood movie, listen to the latest hits of a singer, be inspired by a great talk show or laugh their heart out with an awesome comedy series. Interestingly, Nigerian Entertainment doesn’t only serve the purpose of having a great impact. It can also generate a great wealth. 

You can bear me witness. Not all youngsters want to bury their head on books or have a white-collar job. The dreams of young ones today are mainly related to the “stage”, the “spotlight”, the “dancefloor” or “the cameras”! Even in school, after or before classes you would see a small group of people deliberating on the next concert they will organize on a Saturday at the university. Trust me, I was part of it! 

We are going to discuss about the 5 hottest jobs in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry that young people, with vigorous blood running through their veins, are seeking after.

Music artists


Some boys and girls are not just satisfied with singing in the bathroom. They see themselves facing an audience. An audience that claps for them, dance for them, sing with them. They see themselves on a stage. That’s why they don’t just enjoy Wizkid, Olamide , Phyno or Flavour. They want to be like them. They aspire to sing better than them. They want to create their own brand and those music artists on top only make them believe in themselves. So if you have a killer voice, or are an awesome songwriter, why don’t you give music a try and listen to YOUR songs being played on the radio stations? How about that?


Actors/ Actresses


Hahahahaha! Do you know why I am laughing? I can’t seem to forget all the scenes of Sola Sobowale at the “Wedding Party”. I mean it’s was hilarious. Not just the Wedding Party! Jenifa’s diary, Husbands of Lagos, Lekki Wives. Every movie or series is liked by millions of Nigerians. They are so many talented boys and girls that you think the study of theatre arts was written for them. Genevieve Nnaji, Mofe Damijo, Ini Edo, Great Mama G , Van vicker, Mercy Johnson. Do you see all these actors and actresses as just idols or do you see yourself replacing their throne and become an irresistible actor/actress? Food for thought.


Comedians


Lol! Lmfao! Laughing emojis. This is how you reply when you see a comedy show or video on Twitter or Instagram. And you don’t stop there. You will download the video, store it on your phone and sharing with others in the physical or electronic world! You know why? Because it’s makes you laugh! It’s entertaining! AY, Bovi,or Gordons have a way of turning a usual daily routine into a hilarious video shoot. You may be among those ones would have this special charisma of making people laugh, divert people’s attention from crying to laughing. Perhaps you are even among those would are funny but also innovative enough to be build your own brand. The last one kinda reminds me of Lasisisi Elenu! HAHA! This guy uses snapchat to make himself look funnier with the jokes he cracks. He is saturating Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The Question is: Are you good enough to make money out of mind-blowing jokes? Food for thought!


Talk shows


Women, aren’t you feeling inspired when Toke Makinwa tells you that you can be a sharp babe when you invest in YOURSELF? Aren’t you motivated to take your career to the next level when classy business women or celebrities are being interviewed? Aren’t you touched to hear the success stories of womanhood? Aren’t you curious to view the lifestyle of others like BBNaija? Of course you are! That it is why you take your time to watch these substantial videos of people’s lives and blessings. You feel you can be a part of it. You feel you can actually have more than they do. You might as well as want to OWN a show that brings these stories to limelight. If you are, why don’t give it a try and own a show that bridges celebrities and successful people with fans and followers.


Lifestyle Bloggers/ Vloggers


And here we are. These are interesting individuals who either disseminate latest news on business, politics and gossips such as Linda Ikeji, Olorisupergal, Bellanaija or they are the ones that randomly select mind-blowing topics to deliberate, like Cruise Africa. There are others in the YouTube industry who video shoot themselves while talking about matters that trend, like TokeMoments. If you are a good content writer with an interest on a specific field , why don’t you give it a thought and start blogging or vlogging?. 


The buttom line is : DO YOUR THING!  Nobody is going to do it for you. You are the one to bring your dreams to reality! You are the one that will confront life and stay celebrated. You are the ONE! Cruise Africa!

All of us, men or women, young or small, must have been informed or experienced this new trend-wearing wigs. Wearing wigs has become such a popular habit that even hairstylists consider making wigs as part and parcel of their skills. To tell you the truth, wearing wigs are pretty awesome. You see, we have different sizes, styles, colors or even texture. You could use virgin-hair, fake-textured hair or even attachments to have your wigs made. Women patronize so much that fellow women who are into the business of making wigs have saturated Instagram with posts of their work. But why? Why this clamor for wigs? Why are more women magnetized by wig wearing? Let’s see three good reasons why they do that?

1) To protect the natural hair. 

Ladies understand how disgruntling it is to maintain your hair on a daily basis. Habits such as blow drying on a constant basis, can really cause hair loss or damage your hair irreversibly. So instead of wasting time or money on your hair, why don’t protect your natural hair by weaving it and then putting on a nice looking wig? Just saying!!!!

2) To change hairstyles for time.

Women aren’t like men that are satisfied with a lifetime hairstyle. We love versatility and the only method that serves that purpose so religiously is wig wearing. Pending on your mood, you might feel like having something short or long on your hair. Wigs really help get any look you wish to have!
And now the honest truth…

3) Fake hair looks and feels better than natural hair.

Don’t give me that look. Arguably, our natural hair can be pretty stubborn to tame and definitely difficult to maintain. EV-E-R-Y S-I-N-G-L-E D-A-Y! Some have really thin hair and would want to enjoy the feeling of having a full hair. So there you go! Wigs come to their rescue once again!

Now the tough part..



Although, you know there are always two sides of the coin! So definitely, there must be something wrong with wearing them. And yes! There are things you need to consider…

1. Wigs can disgrace you and fall in public! 

Hahaha! There are some ladies who unfortunately didn’t consult their wig maker in terms wearing and maintenance of a wig. So when wearing it, you might be very comfortable. But someone might just wanna rub your hair to applaud you for your new “hairstyle” , or the wind blows and your wig falls off along with your pride…Hahaha! This could be so hilarious.

2. Good wigs could cost a fortune.

Well, not literarily. But those beautiful wigs that have got this soft texture and made with original human hair could be pretty expensive. So at times a killer wig can’t always be affordable and you might not slay as much as you wish!


3. The heat makes your scalp itch all the time

Naturally, when you wear a cap or gele, you would feel an inordinate heat and fell like pulling it off from your head and borrow fresh air! Same thing goes with your wig! It can be so captivating in the eyes of many, but no one can understand the endurance you are putting after some hours… Am I lying? 



So that’s it, folks. Wigs have their copious advantages but also have some drawbacks. But hey! Do what makes you feel comfortable! Don’t give a shit about others’ volition (men or women). If you love wearing them, do it! You save yourself from wearisome hours at the salon and protect your natural hair religiously. You love yourself too much to cause and harm to the hair our heavenly Father has blessed you with, so you take care of it while you slay beautifully with a sexy-looking, mesmerizing, killer wig.

A lover of the sea or the ocean and the tranquility it offers would be missing if he/she doesn’t visit the exotic beaches in Lagos, Nigeria. Lagos is a destination everyone would love to go if the person hasn’t been there. It is a hub that makes up the ultimate combination of business and leisure. Although it is no longer the capital city in Nigeria, Lagos is still a sought-after place to visit or earn a living. People come and go. People stay or visit. Either way, the beaches in Lagos are arguably beautiful. They are traffic-driven and the reason for that is the fact that these beaches are showered with fun! Let’s take a look at the top 5 beaches in Lagos.


Coconut Beach


  The beach is named after the natural endowment of coconut trees. It is surrounded by holiday resorts where visitors could refresh while on the beach. It is an ideal destination for holiday and fun lovers. It is a perfect spot for enjoying the ocean breeze or watching the waves race and rise against the pebbled sands of the beach at any time of the day. The view of the Coconut Lake also gives off a romantic vibe. Truly, the coconut beach is a nice place to relax from the hustle and bustle living in Lagos brings.


Elegushi Beach         

                                                                    

Here is a beach instilled with culture, some horseback riding and lots of partying. Elegushi is the place to be! Why? Because of the sandy and beautiful oasis surrounding it.

Who doesn’t love mummy’s well-cooked pounded yam and soup? I definitely know that everyone was waiting for the period of festivities to eat jollof or fried rice and enjoy every yummy second of the holidays. Some Nigerians enjoy cooking more than eating. Some of them have amazed people with their dishes so much that they would want to take their passion to a professional level? Question is: Are you one of them? Yeah! Are you unconventionally interested to be chef or a food stylist and don’t know how? Are you aspiring to become a die-hard restaurateur but you are not sure of the career prospects. Let’s take one thing at a time! Ok?

Who is a Chef?

According to Wikipedia, a chef is a trained professional cook who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation, often focusing on a particular cuisine. There are different terms that use the word chef in their titles, and deal with specific areas of food preparation, such as the sous-chef, who acts as the second-in-command in a kitchen, or the chef de partie, who handles a specific area of production.

For example, the Chef de cuisine or head chef, is in charge of all activities related to the kitchen, which usually includes menu creation, management of kitchen staff, ordering and purchasing of inventory, controlling raw material costs and plating design. 

The Sous-Chef de Cuisine (under-chef of the kitchen) is the second-in-command and direct assistant of the Chef de Cuisine. This person may be responsible for scheduling the kitchen staff, or substituting when the head chef is off-duty. 

The Chef de partie also known as a "station chef" is in charge of a particular area of production. 

And the Commis (Chef) is a basic chef in larger kitchens who works under a chef de partie to learn the station's or range's responsibilities and operation. 

So you see there is a rank or a ladder of promotion that an aspiring chef needs to climb to reach any of the aforementioned positions in the kitchen. Every chef needs to have someone to look up to for motivation, inspiration and consistency. There are many of them in the Nigerian Hospitality industry but we will mention just 4 of them. Please do well to follow them on Instagram. Ok? Let’s go.


Tolu Eros (Cheferos)


This wonderfully looking Chef has a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business Management from the University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. After working as sous chef, he moved back to Lagos to open my first restaurant La Saison Café and Restaurant, Ikoyi. Eros and Gourmet was launched in 2014, and he is currently the Chef Ambassador for German home appliance brand “Miele” in Nigeria.He is the founder of Cookie Jar Bakeries and also the Executive of Chef Eros and Gourmet foods. He has given master classes to aspiring chefs at the GT Bank Food and Drink Fair and is also currently the West African Chef Ambassador for German home appliance brand, “Miele.” Catch Chef Eros on Instagram @cheferos


Michael Elegbede


He is celebrated for showing his culinary skills in preparing certain meals from the same land he visits for a number of people is one chef we can never get tired of following. His good looks and Afro hair is one thing we noticed his followers can never get enough of. 


Ronke Edoho /9jafoodieRonke Edoho


Popularly known as 9jafoodie has effortlessly gained the love and trust of so many Nigerians with her culinary style of cookery which focuses mostly on Nigerian dishes such as Egusi soup, jollof rice, ofada rice, efo riro amongst others. She is one of the best Nigerian food bloggers, and also happens to be a certified nutrition and weight loss specialist who has helped lots of people improve their well-being by creating easy follow recipes for their everyday lives.


Gbugbemi Fregene 


Chef Fregs is one of the best in the list chefs Nigeria has ever produced with his mind-blowing expertise in the culinary game. His passion impelled his to educate himself  to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in Paris to learn the art of cooking. He runs a private dining and catering business called Chef Fregz which focuses on fine dining style food that incorporates flavors that this side of the world understands.
So there you go! Going though their posts on social media platforms can revitalize your zeal for culinary arts and keep it unquenchable. Now how do you get to acquire culinary mastery on your own?

How to begin?



  • LEARN HOW TO SHOP


If you have the luxury of a local farmers market near you then make certain you go there regularly and check out the produce. Many times they will offer more variety than a supermarket. While you visit the market, be sure to get friendly with the owner and workers there. Ask questions and let them know more about you and your desire to learn to cook and become a Chef. More often then not, they will be happy to talk to you about the produce and other products they sell. 

  • YOUR EQUIPMENT. 


If you are going to learn how to cook at home, you are going to need the right cooking equipment. Now don't be mislead into believing that you need the top of the line everything and every gadget under the sun, in order to be a Chef. This is simply not the case, but you still need to invest some money into buying equipment. For your cookware, get yourself a basic set including a fry pan, a sauce pan, a saute pan and a stock pot. You may also want something for grilling. A cast iron grill works quite nicely. The next thing you will want is a good set of knives. I wouldn't go cheap in this department. Knives are a Chef's best friend, so invest in a good set. If you buy a cheap set of knives, they will go dull very quickly and a dull knife can be dangerous. 

  • EXPERIMENT 


Are you a picky eater? Not into certain types of foods? if this is you then you will need to develop different taste buds if you want to be a successful Chef.  So in order to understand how to cook with these items, you have to be willing to at least try them.

  • LEARNING RESOURCES


There are a ton of learning resources available to today's Chef. Everything from books to videos are within everyone's reach. Start out with a few good books on French Cuisine. Or in a local scenario, you could try the Nigerian Cuisine. It  is a good place to start because of its influence on other cuisines. Do not simply skim through these books until you find a recipe that interests you. You should read these books from start to finish, including the introduction, appendix and glossary. Try out as many different recipes as you can. This will give you a well rounded and rewarding learning experience.

  • COOK FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS 


Once you have been cooking for awhile, you will eventually want to cook for people right? It can get kind of lonely eating by yourself. Besides, cooking for friends and family is great practice and an excellent way to get feedback. Here is what you do. Find a few of your friends or family and let them know you would like to have a dinner party (try to scrounge up 10 bucks a head to help pay for the ingredients). Tell them it is your first time cooking for a group of people and that you would like their honest feedback. Come up with your own menu of dishes that you would like to prepare, just like a restaurant. Then work out any mistakes you may have made and try it again in a month or two.

Culinary Schools and courses you can patronize.


Of course, if you are certain about taking a  career path in the world of culinary arts, you should try upgrading your skills in any of the following schools.

  • Cmk culinary 39 Osolo Way, Isolo, Lagos
  • Culinary Academy Nigeria 50 Raymond Njoku St, Ikoyi, Lagos
  • Culinary School 22 Unity Road Ilorin, Ilorin 
  • Chef's Academy Abuja 1372b embu street, off WuseII, Aminu Kano Cres, Abuja, Nigeria
  • Red Dish Chronicles Culinary School 18 Fola Jinadu Cres, Pedro, Lagos
  • Crumbles Chef Academy Chevy View Estate, 40 Udeco Medical Road Off Chevron Road, Lekki Penninsula II 
  • FOOD PERFECT Institute of Culinary Arts No 59c, Old Aba Road, Rumuobiakani, Port Harcourt.

If you are any of these strategic metropolitan cities in Nigeria exploit everything they got to offer. They are resourceful and promising. Be A killer Chef. Cook your passion out to the world and you will be celebrated. Stay tuned. Cruise Africa.

Slave Trade in Libya! How? Why? When? First of all, let’s be candid. Slave Trade has been boundless in various corners of the world. Abolision of this inhumane trade has not aborted its under- covered development in some countries.
So definitely, Libya isn’t the only hub where this heinous commerce is taken place. But what makes the social media, the press, the elite and the masses point fingers at Libya is the fact that slave trade is undergone in the open. One could go to a farmhouse, place a bid for as little as $400 (N144,000) and practically “own” a person. The trade is so transparent that one could make any individual with human feelings go berserk. 
Those people or refugees take the risk of going to Libya in a bid to escape war, poverty and unemployment. But once they arrive there, they realize that the intermediaries, to whom they trust their lives, are people smugglers. The refugees are then sold for a ransom and become subjects of forced labor or sexual assault.
Why has Libya been a consistent option for exit? Why do people "patronize" Libya for a better living? Well, this North- African country is actually a means to an end. It is the main transit for refugees to cross through the Mediterranean Sea and find themselves in Europe. Unfortunately, they have got another thing coming. What is shockingly disheartening is the fact that the Libyan Coast Guard is “directly involved” in the human trafficking. The political affairs of Libya are not governed by the rule of law in the first place.  So accountability for this obscene crime is lightly addressed. 
The European Authorities collaborate with the Libyan Coast Guard in order to obstruct the inflow of refugees. The EU Authority doesn’t seem to favor the commerce of slavery. However, their inactive response indicates that they prefer Africans being enslaved in Libya to being free in Italy. Hmm…

You don’t have to a brother, a sister or a parent to the victims before you sympathize with them. Even celebrities such as Cardi B, Pharell and the likes are frowning and tweeting against this unwholesome activity. Rapper Eldee thinks outside the box and maintains that slave trade occurs even within people’s houses by assaulting housemaids. In essence, slave trade is a loud reflection of the inhumane treatment towards domestic staff in African countries.
Slave Trade in Libya is disgruntling and gruesome. Peoples’ sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces are traded for a ridiculous amount of money as a sacrifice paid in pursuit of a better living.  
Slave Trade is unwelcoming and MUST be aborted!
