"THAT FRI(EVERY)DAY FEELING."
It's a Friday where I am.
Though I typically don't live for the weekend (every day is an opportunity to really live), I understand the frustrations/pressure at work that result in millions of people being excited to exit the work place with a happy Friday strut.

AFRICA FASHION WEEK LONDON 2019.
This summer, we chose London for our family summer holiday because, family reunion and least stress.
Turned out Africa was having its fashion week at the FreeMasons Hall in Covent Garden, at the same time I was in the city.
I had my camera. I captured Londoners in their best "motherland" essence.
I love my people.
Enjoy.

TRUE.
Recently, I spotted some photos in my archives that I shot years ago.
I probably didn't post them because I believed the shot wasn't quite perfect or was a "busy" shot.
This suggests I sometimes get lost in the purpose of this web log...
To capture when style is true and when style is you.

SHAME TO THE BODY SHAMERS.
I've posted these photos before, possibly even 2 years ago, however there's a need to repost.
In the spirit of the current election season in Nigeria, the lovely lady in this photo recently shared some political views on her Instagram page.
Like me, she's a lawyer.
Like me, she's not politically apathetic.
Like me, she has opinions.
Opinions she made with reference to popular Nigerian singer Davido and his own political choices.
Side bar: It's a constant wonder to me how and why a lot of Nigerian (African?) men think the first and best response to any disagreement with a female is to derogatively address her body parts.
Mr. Davido's response was of this particular brand - completely digressing from the topic at hand and taking unnecessary and in fact untrue jabs at her body (I mean, let's be honest she's gorgeous!).
I wish sound argument could simply be met with sound argument.
Stop this ridiculous body shaming.
It's untenable.
Men folk. Please. Stop.
In any case, if you were interested in knowing more about her life, when she's not lawyering, you can find her You Tube channel HERE.

WHAT'S ON OUR MINDS?
Browsing round the interwebs, it would appear the average Nigerian youth has one of 3 things on their minds:
1. Big Brother Nigeria
2. The Presidential Elections
3. Valentine's Day
Where do you fall?

PAIN & GAIN.
I just received some rather disappointing news regarding a course of action I had placed a lot of life's bets on.
So this photo represents how I'd ideally like to be expressing myself right now, but...
