While Nigerians are busy preparing for their upcoming election, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are quite preoccupied with something else. On Saturday the 28th of January, IPOB opened a Biafran embassy at the Basque county in Victoria, Spain.

Nigeria has its own embassy in Spain where former beauty queen Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of late Biafran warlord, Odimegwu Ojukwu is the Ambassador.

Nigeria is in the process of voting in new governments. The election was scheduled to take place on February 14th but was postponed to March due to security concerns. Since the postponement, many are worried it might lead to a military coup, war, or divide the country.

There are also worries that the March election may not hold and that another postponement might take place. The international community has pleaded with the country to stick to the March date.

Evil Maid From Zimbabwe Locks And Suffocate Baby To Death

Another month, another woman from hell maid. This time, it is 22-year-old Violet Moyo. The evil maid from Zimbabwe was minding 10-month-old Ethan Phiri while his parents were away. She wrapped him up in a blanket, placed him inside a locker and locked it up to enable her to watch Telemundo.

The evil maid felt the baby was disturbing her from watching the most important soap in the world and found a way to shut up the child. By the time she went to check on him three hours later, the baby was dead.

Moyo has been arrested for the murder of the little baby who suffocated to death due to the lack of air. And according to the police, she told them the baby was crying too much and locked him up in the drawer to silence his disturbance.

On why she killed the innocent baby, Moyo said she was possessed by an evil spirit made her murder the baby.

Kyle Lewis Directs Khuli Chana’s 9 Shots Music Video

Arcade Content’s Kyle Lewis directed 9 Shots, Khuli Chana’s new music video about his emotional journey after being shot by police in an unfortunate case of mistaken identity in 2013.

To thank his fans for their support, Khuli released the single as a free download on 28 October 2014, exactly a year after the shooting.

He wanted the video to reflect his journey from anger to forgiveness, as well as how he oscillated between hopelessness and hopefulness. It’s not a music video attacking any individual or the SA Police Services at large: rather it’s about Khuli’s journey to healing in the medium that ultimately saved his life: music.

Like on his music video for Tumi’s In Defence of My Art, Kyle has used heavily symbolic imagery, deeply rooted in Africa.

“I feel like I’ve found my style,” says Kyle. “I’m using almost photographic compositions, with small, subtle movements, and very symbolic, very African imagery, that people can think a bit deeper about. It’s a look I want to continue to explore in my hip hop videos.”

9 Shots was lensed by Roscoe Vercueil and edited by Stephen du Plessis, with make-up and styling by Kaley Meyer.

Learning About A Business Through Its Founder

Learning About A Business Through Its Founder

When people want to learn about a business they are researching, they should start at the top. The upper reaches of a large business are filled with executives who have made their way to the top through a life story that anyone can learn from. When reading the biography of the person who founded the business, a great deal of learning can occur.

The Founder’s Mission

When someone like Sukanto Tanoto has founded a company, it is wise to read their biographical information to see why they opened to business in the first place. Some people had to open several businesses before they were successful, but there are other people who hit the jackpot on their first try. The mission of the founder of the business will likely inform the vision of someone who has not yet made their first move in the world of business.

The Executive’s Path

When someone is reading about the path that a major executive took to their corner, there is much to be gleaned from their career. People can see where these executives went to school, which degrees they have and which jobs they took before they ascended to the CEO’s seat. Some people are not sure which degree they should get, and they are unsure of which school they should attend. They might read the path of an executive to find that there are degrees and schools they can take on that will make their path straighter.

The Company’s Governance

The governance structure of a large company changes from firm to firm. Reading about how the CEO manages the executive structure of a company can show people how they should manage the executive structure of their own company. A business needs to have a way of governing itself, and people who are learning about the business need to make sure that they have a good idea of how these businesses are run.

When someone wants to learn about a large business and its CEO, they need to read the biography of that CEO. This is very important for all students and young workers who have designs on becoming more prominent in the business world. They need to read about people who have already made it to the upper reaches of the business world, and they need to learn what these people are doing to make their companies successful.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Features In Vogue UK ‘Closet Diaries’

Nigerian author and award-winning writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is the March feature of Vogue Magazine UK’s ‘Closet Diaries’. The fashion photo series, known as the “Today I’m Wearing” diary will see the “Americanah” writer showing what she is wearing every day for a period of one month on Vogue UK.

“A lover of bold patterns and bright colours, Adichie’s chic style incorporates designer items – DSquared2, Carolina Herrera and Anya Hindmarch are among her favourites – with unique pieces, often tailor-made and sourced in her native Nigeria,” Vogue UK wrote about the “Yellow Herbiscus” writer’s style.

The “Half Of A Yellow Sun” writer, who is also well-known for her narrative of gender roles in contemporary society had a TED x Talk in 2013, titled “We Should All Be Feminists”. The piece was sampled on Beyonce’s viral women empowerment song titled, ‘Flawless’ and earned the duo a Grammy nomination.

The four photos above are the styles Chimamanda has worn so far, this month. Which one is your favourite? And what do you think about her style?

Let us know what you think about the multiple award-winning writer’s fashion style for this season.
