Add caption

Award-winning singer D’banj, in a partnership with Robert & John and First Bank, officially unveiled the Kokomobile D’banj series phones last week. Speaking at a press conference held at SQ restaurant on Thursday, April 7, 2011, D’Banj revealed that the project had been in the making since 2007 and expressed his excitement about the product launch.

“It’s a dream come true for me, especially looking at my role models who are into other things aside [from] music,” he said. “It’s a dream come true. Kokomobile is a strictly Nigerian phone and a privilege because the project has gone through a lot.”

Also speaking about the Kokomobile, chief executive officer of Robert &John, Femi Awosika, said the idea came in May 2007.

“We needed a great company that shares the same dream that we do and to get a proper representation,” he said. “Mo’Hits [Records] has to come in, as we all know D’banj is a very big act in the industry. Then we decided to go to First Bank, with over 100 years of experience, to finance the product. So we built a relationship that [First Bank] loved and the idea came alive.”

Speaking about the first model from the series, Mr. Awosika revealed that the Kokomobile is a “unique communication and entertainment device” with features including easy access to the Internet, a charity portal, God Bless Nigeria — which allows users to make donations to the Freedom Foundation, access to various social networking portals as well as a First Bank application that gives users access to financial services called First Mobile. Other features include the Kokodownload which allows users to download all the latest music and music videos from D’Banj and the Mo’Hits crew including exclusive beats from the Mo’Hit’s boss, Don Jazzy.

D’Banj further revealed that the Kokomobile was the reason that he ended his ambassadorial contract with telecom giant, Globacom.

“I didn’t want the phone users restricted to only one network,” the singer said.

Robert & John is a mobile device manufacturing company based in Nigeria. The company had already produced the mobile series rj100 and rj200 before the D’Banj series.

Keri Hilson, Akon Fight Against AIDS in H&M Campaign

Keri Hilson and Akon fix up and look sharp in H&M’s celebrity-driven collection for Fashion Against AIDS. The campaign, which also stars Selma Blair, Penn Badgley, Sky Ferreira, Nikki Reed, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scissor Sisters, Shiloh Fernandez, and The Misshapes, features each participant posing in the unisex line, of which 25% of all sales will be donated to the Designers Against AIDS charity. Miss Keri appears in a sexy slogan jumpsuit and fanny pack in her ad, while Akon rocks a gray hoodie and sleek vest.
The Konvict crooner explained that his involvement stems from his personal experience with those afflicted with the virus. “I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve been in the situation where their friends and family have been affected by HIV,” he said. “As I travel the world, I see how much HIV affects people. It’s not like we have a cure for HIV, we only have prevention. Make sure you are protected so that you don’t ever have to worry about it. Ever.”
Look out for the collection hitting H&M stores and online on April 26.

Riot Forces Angelina Jolie to Cut Short Visit to Refugee Camp in Africa

ANGELINA Jolie was forced to cut short her visit to a Tunisian refugee camp after a mini riot broke out.
The actress, who is a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, was on a trip to the African country and her arrival caused hysteria among the Libyan refugees at the Shusha camp on the Libyan border.
As she made her way through, the group, who have fled to Tunisia from their own war-torn country — chanted, “Angelina Jolie, we want to die for you!” and tried to get close to her.
“The people were beyond excited to see her,” a source said. “”There were thousands of refugees screaming her name and chanting. The crowd was closing in on her and her security detail; it was intense.”
Because of the lack of security, the mother-of-six was forced to cancel half her visit and find shelter in a tent.
“When people found out Angelina was leaving early, they had mixed reaction. Some were upset but still enthusiastic to have her there. Angelina was forced to find shelter in a tent and she had to be protected by 30 military personal with machine guns. Angelina really took a risk by going all the way to the Libyan border,” said the source.
Angelina — who is famed for charity work — was also forced to cancel plans to visit a Moroccan hospital in Tunisia.

Hair Clip Wonders, Accessorize your bag with a hairclips

This time, i am bringing something new, fun and interesting to the table. Hmmm, where should i start from? I  can imagine what is going through your mind, what is the connection with hair clips and ladies handbag? So i thought, until i saw a pretty corporate lady carrying a handbag accessorized with two hair clips; interesting right...... yes, i was fascinated; i had to approach her to find out if it is a new trend. To my greatest surprise, it is not a trend, but rather one of her unique ways of adding a spark to her look. However, Barbara .U. Ukpabi, Centre Manager of Premium Education International Center did make a bold fashion statement with that;  i loved it.

According to her, " I love to accessorize.".

  A handbag can compliment and enhance your outfit by adding a touch of color or elegance. Sometime, we add a little colour and style by accessorizing our handbags with brooch, button, a piece of cloth or scarves amongst others.

  You can decorate your day-to-day bag by adding hair clips to on the handle. This can be used to personalize the bag and to aid in creating a unique look. It is generally more attractive to use only one type of accessory for each bag to keep it simple and stylish. You can also choose colors that will match your outfit. This applies to the accessories and the bag itself.

From North, House of Farrah Goes International, showcased at 2011 Couture Fashion Wee

Fatima Aliyu Garba is the Chief Executive Officer and the Creative Director of the House of Farrah. With her direction, the Farrah brand has grown from strength to strength to become one of the most-sought after fashion labels. Before being the leading creative force behind the House of Farrah, Fatima gave up being a lawyer and an IT consultant to embrace her childhood dream and passion for the world of fashion. A law graduate of Brunel University, Fatima, a member of the Nigerian Bar also has a Master’s degree in Management Information Systems.
The journey began in 2004, when Fatima and a childhood friend, Adaora Ndukwe Ugwu established AbFab!, where they started designing bespoke women's clothes for clients from all over Nigeria. However, differences in the direction of the business led to Fatima buying out Adaora's interests, making her double up as the Chief Executive Officer and Creative Director. Abfab went on to hold it's first fashion show with d'zyn couture to critical acclaim. After three years of success, it was deemed necessary to re-focus and rebrand, thus, transforming the business and rebranding her creations under “Zain”, a label inspired by her first son Mohammed Zain.
To enable her nurture her young son, Fatima decided to close shop and operate from home, working tirelessly to position the Zain label as a unique, luxury brand. At the helm of Zain, she expanded their range of services from bespoke and custom tailored to include ready-to-wear clothing and accessories including a range for Men. Unfortunately, the advent of Zain Telecommunications in Nigeria, made it necessary to rebrand to avoid unwanted confusion thus, she rebranded the fashion house once again, this time as "FARRAH".
Working as the CEO and Creative Director of “The House of Farrah”, Fatima opened its flagship boutique in the Silverbird Entertainment Centre in Abuja in 2009. She has brought her vast international travels and her decade’s sojourn abroad to bear; experimenting with fabrics from different parts of the world to create designs that compliment the lifestyles of Farrah’s many clients, thus making the creations of The House of Farrah at once exclusive, luxurious and inimitable.
