First Time 

It was love at first whiff. 

He was 15 when he walked into Debonairs Pizza at Ikeja 

City Mall, and he fell in love. That smell, Lord. So 

amazing. He imagined this would be what abroad 

smelled like; rich, tasty, foreign. 

The scuffed soles of his leather shoes knocked loudly 

against the polished tiles but the heavy buzz of 

conversation muted the sound. It was impossible not to 

notice him though; mechanics never enter shopping 

malls through the front door after all. But here he was, 

eager to celebrate the end of his apprenticeship, to 

taste all the wonderful things Tade had told him about. 

Two girls paused in the act of taking a selfie as they 

stared. He dropped his eyes from their gaze, pressing 

his elbows hard against his sides to hide a large tear in 

his overalls.


He tried to ignore the stares as he pressed forward. 

“Welcome to Debonairs Sir. What would you like?” 

Sir. They called him Sir, with their forced oyibo accents. His 

chest puffed up and he pointed up to the menu board at a 

meaty looking pizza. “Na dis one…” he started to say but as 

he watched the girl recoil reflexively from the wash of his 

breath, the sound of mean laughter cut through his speech. 

He turned and saw a group of beautiful people, not much 

older than him pointing and laughing. Shit. He'd forgotten 

the hole. Now his armpits were exposed. 

His skin started to burn as shame washed through him. 

Lowering his head, he backed away from the counter 

careful to press his elbows down, and would have run out if 

there hadn't been so many bodies. Sweat dribbled through 

the hairs on his body and his thin grey overalls was 

beginning to cling.


He would have left, back to the little room he and Mama 

called home, but when he saw the escalator leading to the 

cinema, he stopped and stared, his heart starting to beat fast 

with hope. The cinema would be dark, Tade had said; no one 

would judge him in there. 

But how could he get there when the stairs refused to stay in 

one place? 

Colourful conversation floated around his head as he 

watched the moving stairs; food, politics, corruption, sex, 

school, work.Then he was ready to try. 

He stepped on the flat surface but promptly lost his balance 

when it lifted into a stair. People laughed and some stopped 

to watch. He tried again, and almost fell. His armpit hole was 

gaping now, his overalls wet and clinging, skin burning, 

chest heaving with unshed tears. He gritted his teeth and his 

shoulders sank in defeat. 

A man casually took his elbow and said, “Step on when I do.” 

He did, and though he grabbed the railing in fear when the 

stair lifted, he didn't fall. 

He glided to the top, and when he finally got to the dark 

cinema where no one judged, he watched his movie 

through a sheen of tears he refused to let fall.

My name Is Yannick 

Bakebongo, but I go 

by the name of Yann 

BK. Born and raised 

in Congo (DRC), but 

based in South 

Africa. 

My Brand is called 

“Jashughatt Pictures” 

I offer photography, 

videography as well 

as conceptualization, 

production and 

implementation of 

creative ideas for 

different sector.

The BusinessDay CEO, Oct 2017 | 09


Photography has always been my 

passion, back when the first cellphones 

started having VGA cameras, I would 

take pictures of me and my friends and 

edit them with Photoshop. I have 

always had passion for images and 

motion pictures and when I could afford 

a camera. I bought one and started 

taking pictures for fun until I got the first 

“how much do you charge for your 

pictures”. 

That is how it all started.


How much do you 

think your work will 

influence trends in 

your industry? 

For the longest time, my work has 

been entirely focused on servicing 

the corporate field, but this year, I 

decided to become more active on 

social media and shoot more 

individuals people could easily 

relate with. 

I have tried to develop a style that 

involved more thinking and 

spending more time editing and 

less application of a one off filter. 

At first people found my pictures 

too colorful, too different, too 

saturated, but slowly people 

started finding beauty in my craft 

and I am now starting to see more 

and more photographers trying to 

copy my technique and my use of 

lens flare.


I would like to influence the trend in my industry by 

challenging photographers in spending more time 

in actually perfecting their shoots in terms of 

composition, sharpness of their images and 

especially not just use a once off filter for all their 

images. 

There is nothing more satisfying than spending an 

hour on one image and actually seeing the change 

without over doing it.

five 

FUN 

STEPS TO 

MANAGING 

FINANCE FOR 

STARTUPS.


Running a small business is hard enough, 

running a small business without money is 

worse. It is no longer news that owning a 

startup is the new cool; every millennial I know 

has a business idea up their sleeve. While this 

is great, the greater question is, how profitable 

is your startup? Asides the passion for your 

work, are you making enough money to at 

least pay yourself and those working on this 

dream with you? Because honestly, if you're 

unable to effectively monetize your startup, 

you and your dream are on the verge of going 

under. So, how exactly do you make profit 

from your startup? By learning to effectively 

manage your business finances. Here are five 

easy steps to help you achieve that: 

ASIDES THE PASSION 

FOR YOUR WORK, ARE 

YOU MAKING ENOUGH 

MONEY TO AT LEAST 

PAY YOURSELF AND 

THOSE WORKING ON 

THIS DREAM WITH 

YOU? 

“”


one 

Keep separate books of 

account for your personal 

finance and business finance. 

Do not mix up personal 

finances with that of the 

business, or dip into the 

business account to take care 

of personal needs. Your 

Business is a different entity 

from you. The earlier you 

understand that, the higher 

your chances at profitability.


two 

Record ALL transactions, even 

the minutest of them! All 

income (money coming in) and 

expenses (money going out) 

should be properly accounted 

for. As a business owner, you 

must know how much is 

coming in and going out on a 

daily basis, and where it is all 

coming from and going to, as 

this affects business' profit. 

Maintaining a separate account 

for petty cash - cash set aside 

for expenses incurred in the 

day-to-day operations of the 

business; e.g. cost of 

transportation, printing, fuel, 

etc. - is also very important, as it 

provides you with an accurate 

figure on how much your 

business spends on petty 

expenses each year, helping 

you to plan for them in the 

coming year.


three 

Know your Creditors and 

Debtors. I can't stress this 

enough. It is important you 

keep track of what clients owe 

you, and what debts you owe 

others. Record as much 

relevant data on your debtors 

as possible so you're able to 

track them in the future and/or 

recall the specifics of each 

transaction. Relevant data 

includes basic client 

information, invoice date and 

number, terms of agreement, 

amount paid and date, amount 

owing and due date. You 

should also create and adhere 

strictly to a debt repayment 

schedule for cases where you 

owe others, as you don't want 

to be tagged an onigbese.


four 

Have a Payroll System. Growth 

is an exciting prospect for 

startups, as your business 

grows, more hands on deck 

would be needed to make the 

work easier and faster. A payroll 

shows the number of staff you 

have and their respective 

salaries. Before going out and 

hiring people, it is important 

you calculate what you can 

afford to pay each staff in line 

with your current revenue, so 

you don't come up short at the 

end of the month.


five 

Reduce cash holding to the 

barest minimum. Automate 

your money process if possible, 

so that most of your income 

and expenses pass through the 

bank. This way, with almost no 

cash in hand, it would be 

harder to wake up and 

squander business finances. 

Remember to hold just enough 

petty cash for the daily running 

of your business.

olanle Olukanni, 

Botherwise known as 

'Bolinto', captured 

the hearts of Nigerians back 

in 2013 with her bubbly on 

air personality, interesting 

and candid opinions and 

signature style. Bolanle is a 

millennial who knows 

exactly what she wants. Like 

many Nigerian millennials, 

Bolanle studied abroad in 

the U.S and decided to 

come back to Nigeria to live 

out her dreams. A year after 

moving back home and 

working at an NGO, Bolanle 

tried out for an opportunity 

at Ebony Life TV. This 

opportunity was for a cohost 

position with 

renowned Media mogul Mo 

Abudu or as Bolanle calls 

her “aunty Mo'. In this 

interview, we met with 

Bolanle at Maison 

Fahrenheit in the heart of 

Victoria Island to find out 

about her entrepreneurial 

ventures and much more.


What was your motivation to move back to Nigeria, after 

living in the US? 

Being Nigerian, I didn't realise the hustle I had in me until I 

moved back to Nigeria. I went to school in Chicago and I 

remember preparing to come back to Lagos, and asking 

myself what is going to be my hustle? In America, I never 

thought about money because most of your basic needs are 

met. If you really wanted to, you could go a whole month and 

not spend 50 dollars. My rent, food and transportation costs 

were already paid for in advance. My American friends would 

always wonder why I was so focused on figuring out my move 

back home. My mind set had shifted as I prepared for my 

move back to Nigeria, I always knew that in Nigeria, there is a 

need to have multiple streams of income. I remember 

looking up rechargeable fans on Ali Baba to see the viability 

of selling them back home. 

I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but I don't think 

I was in the right space when I came back, to take on 

entrepreneurship. I didn't want to be an entrepreneur just to 

say I have an income. Don't get me wrong, I love money, I 

need money but I don't believe in doing things just to make 

money. I also knew that I wanted to make sure that I did 

something I was truly passionate about so I left the 

rechargeable fan idea alone. 

I started working as a presenter and before that I got a job 

with an NGO for about a year. I find that a lot of NGOs in 

Nigeria focus more on giving hand-outs as opposed to 

giving beneficiary tools to create sustainable income.


Tell us about your new 

venture God's Wives? 

In December 2016, The 

Executive Director of Self 

Worth Organisation 

came to speak on 

Moments with Mo to talk 

about her empowerment 

organisation that 

provides group therapy 

for widows. A lot of us 

don't think about the 

stigma that women who 

loose their husbands go 

through.They are often 

shamed and ostracized 

from society. A lot of 

times they can't even 

grieve because there is 

poverty around them 

and they still have to 

fend for their families, 

because their husbands, 

often didn't leave a will, 

or in some cases, their 

in-laws took over their 

property and savings. 

You hear a lot of horror 

stories. I remember 

December rolled around 

I was in a space, where I 

was evaluating a lot of


things in my life. I always wanted to wait till I had 

tons of money till I give back, but it thought to 

myself, I'm a single woman, I have been working 

for 3 years, I don't really have that many 

responsibilities aside from helping some family 

members out and taking care of myself. I thought 

to myself I can make disposable income for other 

people if I wanted to. 

So, in December, I threw a Christmas party for the 

women, and organised food and drinks. We all 

danced, 

had fun and celebrated the Christmas 

period. During that event, I realised how we 

forget how for some people, 

Jollof rice and coke 

is still a luxury. The party was great and the 

women were happy but in the back of my head I 

knew there was something more we could do.


In March of 2017, The Executive 

Director of Self Worth organisation 

approached me and said she wanted 

to do something beyond just throwing 

parties. She wanted to create a centre 

where these women could learn, grow 

and have avenues to sustain 

themselves and make money for their 

families. The practical skills that made 

the most sense at the time was making 

cloaks, make up and catering. I put up 

the initial investment for the centre and 

the centre was built in Aguda, Surulere, 

I knew that you can rarely go wrong 

with investing in women. Investing in 

these women gave me a reassurance 

that the trust instilled in these women 

through my investment was going to 

be a beneficial one. The Women at the 

centre were touched that people they 

didn't know believed in them so much 

to invest in them, and give them an 

opportunity to make money for their 

families. When the centre opened, I 

didn't visit very much because I am of 

the mind set that when I am able to 

help someone, I don't want 

recognition I just want the person to 

make the most of it.


I remember I didn't tell anyone about the centre, because 

I knew they would say that it was not a wise way to use my 

money. My family found out in August, after the centre 

had been built. I know I could have bought a new car or 

used the money to do a bunch of other stuff but I almost 

saw this investment as another way of saving, a different 

way of growing Nigeria's economy. 

The centre trains 80 women whose lives have been 

forever transformed. The ripple effect of that is these 

women have children, who they will now be able to take 

care of. We don't how a little seed can blossom into a 

something great. Opening this centre has given me a new 

perspective on saving and investing.


I went to the centre in July of 2017, and found 

that between March and July the centre had 

broken even and saved 700,000 naira, I was 

pleasantly surprised. With those saving's they 

have rent for the next year and they are no 

longer dependent on anyone. The centre is a 

business. Products are made, sold and the 

return on investment is a quick turnover for me 

as an investor and the women as well. The 

objective is to open more centres over the next 

few years. We aim to be a sustainable business 

with a lasting business model that works.


THE CENTRE 

TRAINS 80 

WOMEN WHOSE 

LIVES HAVE BEEN 

FOREVER 

TRANSFORMED. 

THE RIPPLE 

EFFECT OF THAT, 

IS THESE WOMEN 

HAVE CHILDREN 

WHO THEY WILL 

NOW BE ABLE TO 

TAKE CARE OF.


Where does your passion for 

improving other people's 

lives stem from? 

From an early age, I was 

always taught that giving 

back was important. From my 

school in Kenya, Roselyn, a 

Christian school where 

community service was an 

intricate part of the school's 

core values. Then going to 

college at Loyola in Chicago, 

it was instilled in me that it 

was important to not just live 

for yourself. The power to me 

is when you are powerful and 

you empower others. I think 

it's important to stay 

accountable. Success comes 

with the duty to give back 

and help others. It's 

important to empower others 

to help themselves or give 

them the tools so that they 

can sustain themselves and 

their families.


I have recently been thinking about money 

and how we can diversify our incomes. It is 

important to recognize that there is so much 

potential in this era to make money online. 

There are people on Youtube making 

50,000 dollars a month. Whether you are 

selling something online, something as 

small as selling beaded jewelry on Jumia, is 

still income. In this day and age there is no 

reason for anyone to be broke with the 

internet, it is important for millennials to be 

industrious. There is a lady who is a widow, 

at the centre who sent her daughter there, 

and her mother notices a huge difference in 

her daughter's confidence and 

communication skills. She now has a skill 

that has empowered her to live a better and 

more comfortable life. Making the most of 

the resources around us is key.


What advice would you give 

to millennials on staying 

focused and accomplishing 

goals? 

There are a few things I 

would say: 

· There are so many ways 

to make money. You don't 

have to be a presenter or be 

in a specific industry, the 

internet is there for you to 

explore and find ways to 

multiply your income. 

· Procrastination will 

destroy your life. Every single 

day I have to discipline myself 

to not procrastinate. I have 

lost important opportunities 

because of it, so I started 

taking responsibility of my life 

and my actions. I do that by 

being very disciplined. I work 

out in the morning, even 

though I hate it. I stay 

accountable. 

· Read and listen to other 

people. There is a guy called 

Steven James on Youtube. He 

has very inspiring and


relatable videos. I find that it's always 

good to listen to different perspectives. 

His shows are on Youtube and are 

completely free. I also joined the 100day 

challenge which keeps you accountable 

to make the rest of the year count. 

· If you are a millennial, the internet is 

there. Ask yourself what is holding you 

back from achieving your goals? If its fear, 

I completely understand that. I dealt with 

anxiety the whole of last year to the point 

where I would start hyperventilating. Iwas 

constantly afraid and unsure of my future 

and the way I primarily dealt with that is by 

realising that my life is already sort of preplanned. 

God has a plan. Yes, I may 

deviate, but I found inner peace in 

trusting in that process. I remember the 

first episode of Moments with Mo, I was 

23, I did not know what I was doing, I was 

nervous and did not know which camera 

to look at, but I had to tell myself that 

there was reason I was there. I learned to 

deal with my anxiety and learned to 

become increasingly confident as each 

show


aired. I don't know how I was living with that, 

now that I think of it. It was crazy. I literally 

couldn't pick up my phone to call someone 

for a business favour because of fear of the 

person saying 'no'. It started out with the 

fear of failure which led to anxiety. The first 

thing I did was definitely isolating each 

problem. I remember my life coach sitting 

me down to make a list of things I had to do, 

sometimes coaching sessions could be me 

making calls and afterwards she'll ask how it 

felt taking that step and if I was okay. 

Another person who helped me through it 

was my oldest sister. She's brilliant. She says 

–' Don't look at anything or anyone with a 

preconceived notion. Always have in mind 

that the person you're talking to has 

feelings; so talk to them as if you're talking 

to yourself.' Having her in my life is one of 

the most influential things to which how my 

life turned out.


How do you see your business growing in 

the next 5 years? 

We'll continue to employ women; less 

privileged women include single mothers 

and women who have been abandoned by 

their husbands. They're not just employees 

but stakeholders of the company and it just 

won't work without them. I also see my 

business going global because of the 

internet; like I said earlier, I'm obsessed with 

digital marketing and I am excited about the 

potential the internet has for my business. 

Speaking of digital marketing, how would 

you say social media has helped your 

career? 

Let me use this as an example; I have a show 

called ''On the carpet with Bolinto”. A lot of 

people didn't know I was a presenter until 

that show; they just thought I was a fashion 

girl. It wasn't promoted as much back then 

because there was nothing really going on 

online; unlike now where you've got 

Facebook, YouTube and the likes. Social 

media has helped tremendously. 

You did it with your production company? 

Yes. It's the same company producing God's 

Wives and other stuff done before. So 

definitely, social media has helped with 

people getting to know who I am; fashion 

helped as well. It's a combination of both.


You seem to have a very busy life… how do 

you juggle it all? 

My busyness is in seasons. But I had to learn 

to isolate each task; if not I get overwhelmed 

and anxiety kicks in. So, I basically take one 

thing at a time. I'm not stupidly busy. I always 

say to myself I don't have kids, I'm not 

married – I'm not busy. Those (married) 

people are the ones that are busy. Having 

children is like… a lot of work. 

Is that something (having kids) you want to 

do? 

Yeah. When Jesus says Yes. 

Were your parents in support of your career 

path? My Dad is a very outgoing person and 

at one point he wanted to be a journalist and 

an actor when he was much younger. And 

now he's fond of saying ‘You're just like me’. 

He buys the newspaper just because he 

knows I'm going to be in it. My Dad is really 

proud. My mom, on the other hand, is like 

the opposite. She always emphasizes on not 

losing track of where you come from. She's 

very religious. It's a lot of work… but I try to 

get it done.


3 QUICK QUESTIONS WITH BOLANLE 

Let's change gears a little bit…Where do you see 

TECH taking African business in the next, let's say, 

10years? 

For me, I think people are not even utilising it (Tech) 

the way it should be. From the learnings, I've done in 

the last 2 weeks, I've realised there are so many ways 

to sell your product. The more technology is used 

and implemented with further improvements and 

innovations, are we going to use it well? I don't think 

so. People are focused on one part of selling on social 

media. For instance, Instagram isn't the only place to 

sell, there's Facebook and a lot of others. Plus, you 

don't necessarily have to be a top brand; just put your 

stuff out there. So yes, technology gives a wide 

opportunity to learn and better yourself. 

Tell us about “Shuga''… Have you always wanted to 

act? 

The very first thing I wanted to do was ''acting''. I 

auditioned for Tinsel, I got it but couldn't go through 

with it because I was doing NYSC at the time. I 

auditioned for another show, I got it too but I just felt 

it wasn't for me. I love to always move with how I feel 

about something. Even when I was in secondary 

school, I did this thing called dramatic acting which 

was quite competitive and I got to do monologues 

while at it. Basically, I fell in love with media and 

anything that had to do with presenting because of


'Kenny on radio'. I also did a one day 

internship at Capital FM and it was an 

amazing experience. But then I had to 

move to America and it just wasn't the 

same. The energy was different. 

What can you tell us about your 

character on Shuga without giving too 

much away? 

She's a recovery controversy. I would say 

that. She lived a wild life which came 

with consequences. Now she's quite 

practical about trying to guide the 

younger ones to do the right thing and 

learn from her mistakes. A new season is 

coming out some time next year. A lot of 

new characters I love are coming out as 

well and I feel people would really 

connect to them. 

Are you reading anything right now? 

I’m reading ‘Audition’ because I’m trying 

to be a better actor. It’s my main book 

right now. I’m supposed to start reading 

‘The Lean Entrepreneur’ right after. 

You can keep up with Bolanle on social 

media @bolanle 

Look out for Bolanle’s “God’s Wives 

documentary” and Friday’s Are for Maxis, 

her fashion line coming out soon.

The BusinessDay CEO, Sept 2017 | 45


M E E T I N G 

EVUAS AKPOWAYE 

CEO,


I'd never been so sure 

of anything else 

before as I was about 

being in the 

creative/designing 

path. Also, for the 

longest time, I felt 

there was some sort of 

gap between luxury 

and affordable fashion 

in Nigeria. It was 

either exceptionally 

expensive and not-sopractical 

fashion, 

sometimes or it was 

affordable but not up 

to par based on 

design, quality, fit and 

finishing. So I knew I 

would love to own a 

relatable and 

affordable brand 

someday.




How much do 

you think 

your new 

collection 

would 

influence 

trends in your 

industry? 

We aim at being a classic 

brand, one that is not easily 

swayed by trends.




Giving a 20 year 

spectrum, how do 

you see 

yourself forging and 

owning a new path 

for a 

better (African) 

fashion narrative? 

Having truly evolved into 

our essence as a premium 

brand, by being active in 

the African fashion scene; 

by putting structures in 

place and constantly 

being on our 

toes,creatively with 

designs, production and 

expansion across Nigeria 

and eventually Africa. 

God willing.

MovieReview 

Distinct title “IT” as the movie was called didn't quite give a very 

clear picture as to what the movie was going to be about, 

although the picture revealed children, it would have being quite 

hard to resonate with children featuring in a horror movie as it 

seemed to be. Most horror movies always have adults in it and 

less children, but in this movie the reverse was the case. The 

children played the vital roles with minimal appearances by the 

adults. At first it was quiet difficult to determine the cause of the 

disappearance of the children, but as we progressed into the 

movie we discovered the main cause of the issues.


The director of the movie, 

Andy Muschietti was quite 

good in his imaginative 

skills as he kept the 

suspense really high all 

through, one will wonder 

why clowns who are 

supposed to make children 

happy became a cause of 

so much freight and scare. 

The New Line Cinema 

Horror movie “IT” was 

written by Chase, Cary and 

Gary was based on the 

hugely famous Novel of 

Stephen King, which has 

being well known for 

scaring its readers for the 

past decades. The movie 

took that same shape of 

scaring everyone who 

watched as no one could 

really predict the next scene 

or tell who was going to get 

It was quite scary and strange 

how children went out to play or 

to the basement and never 

returned, one after the other 

children kept going missing in the 

town of Derry, Maine. Most 

parents became so frightened 

and worried at how they had lost 

most of their kids. In almost every 

family a kid had being lost, while 

in some even two, parents didn't 

want their kids to go out to play, 

go to quiet places, parks or stay 

out late. Almost everyone was 

scared as they couldn't really lay 

their hands of what the issues 

were or who was taking their kids 

away. There was a group of brave 

kids who decided to dig deep to 

the root of the problem and find 

out why their siblings and friends 

were getting missing. One of the 

kids had being reading a lot and 

was able to find out that this same 

incidence had occurred a very 

long time ago, centuries away 

and that the clown kept coming 

back to hunt towns and take away 

their kids. Along the line as the 

kids discussed and moved on 

their discovery escapade, they all 

found out that they had similar 

dreams, one where an evil clown 

called Pennywise appeared and 

wanted to take them away. The 

kids were able to find his hiding 

place and destroy the evil clown.

“IT” had a very good storyline and the suspense was really good, 

having children act in the horror movie made it more exciting 

and interesting. The suspense and thrill get the viewers engaged 

all through. The contradictory fact was that I am not really a fan 

of horror movies, but I kind of got thrilled about this particular 

movie. For the horror movie lovers then this is a movie for you. I 

will score it 8.5/10, why because they got all of intrigued by the 

story.
