STORY
Enitan Oshibodu
Quotes...
“Unless both sides win, no
agreement can be permanent”.
- Jimmy Carter
“Blessed are the hearts that can
bend; they shall never be
broken”.
- Albert Camus
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack
of friendship that makes unhappy
marriages”.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
“I never had a policy; I have just
tried to do my very best each”.
- Abraham Lincoln
It looks like 2016 is the year of the woman! If Theresa May
wins the Tory nomination in Britain, she would be the second
female Prime Minister to rule Great Britain and increase the
population of women ruling their world or our world.
At a time the world seems to have lost it, the responsibility of
fixing the world’s challenges looks set to be thrust on women.
We always clean up the mess left behind by men, don’t we? Be
that as it may, it’s a great time to be a woman. If I may echo
Beyonce’s rhetoric question in her song, “Who runs the world?”
Girls’ indeed!
For cover today, we feature Enitan Oshibodu who is surely
ruling her world. Enitan turns 50 in a few days and, to celebrate,
she has written her story in a book that would be launched as
part of the celebrations. She speaks frankly about that golden
age and why she felt the world needed to read her story. For
me, she represents you and I; women who were focused
enough to arrive at a place of rest turning 50. Please turn the
pages.
Another fashion week ended with a credendo. Yemisi

Enjoy!

MIXED PRINTS
TREND
Fashion designers have
been playing at mixing
prints in ensembles for
years, but in the last few
years some designers,
such as Marc Jacobs and
Dries van Noten, have
really embraced this trend,
leaving many women to
wonder whether or not they
should try to wear mixed
prints.
It is no wonder that women
find mixed prints puzzling.
Luckily, wearing mixed
prints certainly is not a
“must-do” for a woman who
wants to be considered
stylish.

photographers, marketers, textile manufacturer, exhibitors, fashion journalists and
buyers, thronging the Expo hall of the Eko Hotels and Suites, as the 3rd edition of the
Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) 2016 takes center stage.
The 3-day event which held from 1-3 July, kicked off with the Textile and Garment
Manufacturing Conference, followed by two days of fashion festival with over 40 designers
and models from across Africa, showcasing the best of African fashion to the world. This
year, Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN), was all about colours, comfort, feminine cuts
and creative play on fabrics.
With three shows daily, day one featured a good number of young and emerging
designers poised to taking over the fashion industry in a few years. Their collections were
no less captivating, as they brought back the ‘50’s look with the hourglass silhouette that
flatters the feminine form.
The ‘80s references were not left out: skinny trousers, crop tops, and exaggerated
shoulders were central components of the collection as displayed by Tube, Nope Skin by

Enitan Oshibodu
- Celebrating Life @ 50
By -Yemisi Suleiman
It is a sad irony that as life expectancy increases, growing old becomes less and less
desirable. However, this is not the case with Enitan Oshibodu who recently turned 50.
For her, turning 50 is something to be celebrated rather than dreaded, knowing that
she is quite lucky making it this far in life. And, to celebrate this milestone, she has put
down her life experiences in a book titled “Enitan - The Stories Behind the Smiles” with
50 shots of herself; each representing her fifty years on earth. She tells us her story.
Where did the 50 pictures idea come from?
The idea was to have a picture for a year. I
have been counting down since I was 45 years
old. Each anniversary of my birthday day, I take
pictures because people say I don’t look my
age and I can’t hear it enough. So, I decided to
make a mother picture; that was how I got into
the 50 shots for 50 years idea.
So, how does it feel to be 50?
It is awesome! We were three girls in my
family; my older sister didn’t see 50. By the
time she was 48, they told her to get ready
because she had cancer. So I live with that kind
of experience; because, I was with my sister
and we were counting down for her to die. Ever
since, I have been very mindful of my time. I
know it is a privilege to be alive. For me, it’s
like I am living two lives - my sister’s and mine.
When she died, she left her two kids who I took
as mine.
So, going to 50 years, I remember that my
sister wasn’t able to get there. So I am grateful.
It’s very great and for the fact that people think I
am younger than my age, it is a good time to let
people know I am 50 years old.
You wrote a book recently about your life
titled “Enitan”. What inspired it?
50 years means a lot to me. I have had
a pretty rough life and coming close to 50
years, I decided I wanted to do something;
to put something on record. I have worked
with important people and a lot of things have
happened to me. That was why I decided to use
the 50 pictures as a step up to another level. I
decided to take notes down and it was flowing
as I wrote. I didn’t have a title for the book when
I started. I just knew I wanted to write about
myself; who I am, my parents, background, why
I am who I am and how I got to where I am;
about the people that influenced me, helped
me around my journey and who have upset me
because I believe I have upset a lot of people
too.
I had to stop, at a point, to ask myself if I was
writing a fiction or real life (story) because, if I
was writing a fiction, I can pluck names (fake
names) but that won’t do what I wanted and I
have always been a bold person. So, what I
put in the book are facts; there are some things
that are controversial so I expressed them in
an objective way; not my opinion. I wrote even
the bad things and challenges that happened to
me because, everybody has his or her ups and
downs.
If you ask anybody that knows me, I have
never been unhappy or sad. Sad things happen
to me but I am not sad. I don’t know how to be
sad and I am too hyperactive so I am always
laughing and messing around. I thought to
myself, having gone through this, if you have a
discerning spirit, you will know that there is more
in between the lines.
My name is ENITAN. In Yoruba, it means ‘a
person of story’, which I am. There is a reason
why I was given that name. For Yorubas,
when they have children, they look at the
circumstances surrounding their birth and name
the children. When you are given the name
‘Enitan’, it means there was death surrounding
the child’s birth.
My life has been a story. I have one saga (or
another) following me; never run short of things
that happen to me. So, wondering what to call
my book, I gave it my name which is good
because there are lots of stories in the book
even though people never knew I was going
through all that.
They say women don’t want to age because
we live in a society where aging induces
fear of physical changes and limited
opportunities. Do you feel that way?
Recently, I was asking myself, now that I am
50 years old, do I want to slow down? Because
I was so focussed on 50 years, maybe because
of my sister, I couldn’t think of anything but 50
years.
All I want to do, I have certainly crossed the
bridge because I have raised all my children
so it’s going to be different ball game. No
more worries, no one makes demands on
me because two of them are graduates and
working. The third one is at University of Kent
and the baby is going to his first year A’levels.
So, I am free now. The answer to your question
is rather than worry about aging, I am looking
forward to doing something tangible with my
time. I want to even know when I will start aging.
Tell us a bit about yourself; where you grow
up, educational background and your job.
I grew up in Ibadan, practically lived my life
there. I studied Communication and Language
Arts at the University of Ibadan. After university,
I felt I had had enough of Ibadan so I carried my
stuff and off to Lagos! I did my NYSC at NTA.
I also did a short time at Daily Times. Those
were the days that people were ‘checking out’. I
also travelled out. I went to the United Kingdom
in 1990 and didn’t come back until I had my
kids. I relocated to Nigeria with my children in
2003. When I got back to Nigeria, I bumped into

Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the former governor of
Ogun State. I became his P.A. I was his P.A. for
2 years and I had some issues which are in my
book. I left the government and moved to the
Stock Exchange, worked there for five years.
Then, they had crisis and the capital melt
down; that was during Prof. Ndi Okereke-
Onyiuke’s time. I was among the people that got
swept out. I moved around a bit, used that time
to settle down. Then, I gave Alhaji Aliko Dangote
a call and as soon as he heard what happened
to my job, he said ‘Come on’. That was like
four years ago. That’s how I joined Dangote
Group. I work in the President’s office; I work
at Dangote - in the President’s office - that is
Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s office as Head of Facilities
Management. I am in charge of making sure
that the factories are looking good at all times,
monitor group contractors
and all that; even up to as simple things as
landscape because, in Nigeria, people don’t
understand that your environment means a lot.
You can spend millions to build a house or
a factory but if you do not pay attention to your
environment, it actually brings the value down
and, at the end of the day, you may be losing

money. Alhaji is very particular about improving
and sustaining the way the surroundings look;
so the factories are not only operating to full
capacity but they are environment-friendly as
well, to the workers and the neighbourhood.
So, with less responsibility now, what do you
intend to do with your time?
I have written a book but that is not the
only plan I have. After my 50th, I have another
plan which I will unveil at the party. I want to
be known for something good. I will launch a
foundation that will bring solar power into the
country. I know a company in the UK that does
solar light. It is crazy that, in this country where
there is sun 24/7, we still have issues with
power. Meanwhile, we have free solar. I believe
it will work in Nigeria. I don’t know what is wrong
with our government; they will install solar power
(equipment) and it won’t work.
What will you do about it?
We have started slightly by installing some
samples. We used our own money. The first
one we did was for our church. We put one
there for everybody to see; once it is dark, it will
switch itself on. Once daylight comes, it will go
off. So, for the next ten years, you don’t have to
do anything. It is automatic and it has been on
for almost a year now and the lights are still as
bright as ever.
We will look for sponsors then locate a
particular place or rural areas where we will
install it with our sponsors’ names on it. We have
experts who can do the job.

/ July 10, 2016
What do you do to stay in shape and
continue to look good?
I definitely change some things I used to do
before. I am a little more conscious now. I used
to be a Coke addict; I could drink a crate in a
day. I had to stop because it was showing on
me, my tummy. Now, I have reduced my intake
of Coke. I do not eat late at night because of my
tummy. If I think I am stretching my clothes, I
reduce my carbohydrate (intake); like not eating
rice in a week.
What is your take on fashion?
I love clothes and fashion in general. I love
jeans and shirt. I love true religion jeans. If I
want to dress casual, I wear short dresses but I
love to tie my gele as well. I make a statement
with whatever I wear.
What would you say life has taught you at
50?
Life is tough; that is what it has taught me
and that it’s not for the faint-hearted. It has
also taught me never to give up so, at 50, I feel
bolder and more confident. I believe the saying
that time will set things straight.
If there is anything you would want to
change about yourself, what would it be?
To learn to talk less. My mouth is my problem.
It’s a double-edge sword; it pulls me out of every
corner but it also saves me sometimes.
If you had to go on holiday, where would you
go?
I want to go to the Seychelles Island. They
said it’s a nice place.

AFWN:
Charting A Way On The Thorny
Path To Manufacturing
By - Jemi Ekunkunbor
The entire value chain of garment production
came under searchlight recently. The
chain is not what it used to be. From cotton
production to fabric manufacturing and
garment production, the testimony is bleak. The days
were when the textile industry in Nigeria was a major
employer of labour and and source of income to
government. But things have since fallen apart, with
many of the textile companies folded up and the few
existing ones struggling to survive in the face of local
challenges and foreign competitions.
Garment producers such as the fashion designers
have not fared well either. Not a few of them have
been able to lift themselves to the level of mass
producing.
Despite the bleak situation on ground, the Bank of
industry has recently, dedicated about 30 Billion Naira
to support the fashion industry.
It was in a bid to chat a way forward, that a one day
manufacturing conference was convenend as part of
activities marking the 3rd edition of the African Fashion
Week Nigeria. The event which took place at Eko
Hotel And Suites, brought together stakeholders in the
garment manufacturing value chain to examine the
challenges and profer solutions to the problems.
The conference was themed, “Making Nigeria the
Fashion Hub of Africa”.
Convener of the conference, Ronke Ademiluyi,
while recalling her growing up years in Nigeria,
noted that there were more textile companies then
than now. “ We just want to encourage and kick
start manufacturing in Nigeria. We feel that if a lot of
things are manufactured in Nigeria, it would help the
economy and there will be a lot of job creation and
here, we are talking about raw materials as well as
production of finished garments. If we are able to kick
start the manufacturing industry, it will help boost the
economy”
Although Guest speaker, Mrs Aisha Abubakar -
State Minister, Industry, Trade and Investment,
pointed out that job creation as well as provision of
enabling environment for business Is key to president
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the reality on
ground is quite different.
Speaking on the “ Challenges in the manufacturing
Industry”, acting DG, Nigeria Manufacturers
Association of Nigeria, Mr H.A. Kwajaffa, said although
Nigeria prides itself as the biggest in Africa, Nigeria
has the highest tarrif in Africa making it difficult to
compete both locally and internationally. Amongst the
challenges he listed are: non mechanisation of cotton
farms, porous borders, challenge from Asians who now
have about 95% market share, high cost of financing.
All these activities he said have caused a decline in
employment generation.
On the way forward, he called on Nigerians to
patronise made in Nigeria goods as this will help grow
Nigerian industries.
Boss of Sam Sara, Mrs Folake Oyebade, with more
than 25 years experience in the industry didn’t have
a cheery tale to give. The inability to of designers to
mass produce, remains a major obstacle to them
being able to export. Although she was able to break
this glass ceiling by exporting finished garments to the
USA, “ we were unable to make profit” due to the high
cost of production in Nigeria.
She urged government to back policies with action by
encouraging indigenous companies such as Sam Sara
to take over production of uniforms for the Nigerian
Armed forces.
But as we found out at the conference, having a
made-in Nigeria product does not solve the entire
problem. The Nigerian consumer has developed
a knack for foreign goods that a high quality made
in Nigeria product may not even help change their
minds. According to Dr. Johannes Flosbach, Head
of Performance Management Group (TGI Group),
he noted that although most of the products made
here are of high quality, once when they tried with
one of their products and labelled it made in Nigeria, “
patronage dropped”
Both president of the Fashion Designers Association
(FADAN) Mrs Funmi Ajila- Ladipo and Mr Akintunde
Oyebode -Special Adviser for Job Office of the
Lagos State Governor, agreed that the value chain
be tweaked for manufacturers to be truly productive.
According to Mr Oyebode, skills and talents to harness
opportunities abound in Nigeria but a the manufacturer
must decide on one aspect of the value chain to
concentrate on, what Mrs Ajila Ladipo described as
“sub skills”. He encouraged manufacturers to focus on
lines that link hubs to manufacturing centres and fix
standards for production and products.
Re emphasizing the place of the value chain, DG,
Nigerian-German Business Association, Jennifer
Ijeoma Anoyika, cited the case of Zara, the popular
brand that adopted the value chain system of thinking.
According to her, this system is about starting with the
consumer. Manufacturers should make the effort to find
out what the consumer wants and stay in relationship
with them.
On the way forward, Commissioner for Finance Lagos
State, Dr. Mustapha Akinkunmi said that although the
textile and clothing industry provide income and jobs
as well as lay the foundation for sustainable economic
development, he pointed out that our love for foreign
clothes is killing our industries. According to him, “our
country must not be used as dumping ground for
foreign made goods”
He also called on Nigerians to take pride in the use
of local fabrics such as adire, aso oke and ankara
especially in hotels and schools. He urged Nigerians to
continue to do this “until we are noticed internationally”.
He urged Designers to get education on emerging
markets and specifically, strategize to take over malls
to sell African inspired garments.
He said for the textile industry to succeed, these issues
must be addressed.
He revealed plans by the Lagos State government to
establish a Fashion Science Department at the Lagos
State University (LASU).
As the conference came to a close, only time will tell if
stakeholders in the textile and garment industry, would
be able to surmount the many thorns on the path to
manufacturing.

and disadvantages, which is a discussion you
should have with your Doctor. There are also
some off label uses for Botox like to treat
wrinkles in the neck skin, migraine headaches,
and excess sweating in the armpits and palms.
Again, it is important to discuss the risks and
potential complications of these off label uses
with your Doctor before trying it.

Or The
Knife ?
In summary, above the eyes : freeze the
muscles with Botox. Below the eyes : fill the
lines with a filler. Eat healthy, exercise, if you
have to age, then age gracefully....and if you
need help all you may need is a needle...not a

Botox is a chemical that
paralyzes muscles by blocking
the neurotransmitter that
communicates between the
nerve endings and the muscles.
Its effect is local and limited to
the muscle it’s injected into. It
is a safe and very effective way
to freeze the muscles that cause
wrinkles and folds. Its only
drawback is that you can’t freeze
muscles that you need. That is
why, IN GENERAL, we use Botox
for wrinkles above the eyes.
Freezing muscles below the eye
can cause problems with smiling,
talking, drooling, inability to
close or open the eyes properly
etc.

Dr. Emeka Onyewu is a U.S. trained Plastic and

Fillers allow us to “fill in” the
unwanted lines and wrinkles
without paralyzing the muscles.
There are several different fillers
on the market. Most people have
heard about the Hyaluronic
Acid fillers like Juvederm and
Restylane. These are naturally
occurring substances in the body
that are easily broken down
naturally over 3-6 months. In
general, we use them below the
eyes to fill in frown lines, smile
lines, tear troughs (hollowness
under the lower eye lids) and
to plump up the cheek bones to
replace ‘fallen fat’. Because they
are broken down by the body,
these treatments need to be
repeated 2- 3 times a year but are
a great temporary measure to buy
time and avoid or delay surgery.
They are quick procedures (5-
10 minutes), can be done in the
office, do not require anesthesia,
and have no down time. Patients
can get them done and return to
work the same day.
There are other longer lasting
fillers, but some of them are not
as smooth as the Hyaluronic Acid
fillers and have other advantages
