editor's note 

Dear Readers, 

I hope the cupid has visited you this month? 

well, for me it's all mixed feelings on what 

love is perceived as by different people. How 

it affects our lives positively and negatively. 

I could still go and on but; my focus would be 

on the theme " Spousal Love and Support" 

In the society today, we encounter a lot of 

stories and lifestyles that one might begin to 

wonder if couples still see each other as ONE 

BODY or One team. 

Some have lost sight of the fact that once you 

are married, you and your partner have to 

support each other. One partner's success 

automatically has become the success of the 

other. But No! It is now a competition, 

bragging rites and all worth not. 

I am not pointing fingers here or taking sides, 

so let me explain. In a scenario where a 

woman brings in the bulk of the cash into the 

home and the husband starts feeling "less of a 

man" or a woman that makes a lot of money 

and forgets that she has to drop her BOSS 

LADY cloak at the doorpost of her home and 

assume her wifely duties. 

Don't get me wrong, you might feel 

overwhelmed doing all that BOSS LADY and 

WIFE duties, get the required help you and 

make sure you oversee everything. 

And for Husbands that hate it and clinch at 

their women's or wives success. I have a 

message for you. 

YOUR LOSS! You should be her piper while 

she does her belly dancing. Make her look 

good, encourage her and show her love and 

support. Then watch her conquer the world.

WHAT IS LOVE TO YOU? 

love? Some say love is a beautiful thing, others say love is a wonderful feeling and 

THE REAL TALK 

WITH GIFT COLLINS 

Everyone says February is the month of love because of Valentine's Day. So all over 

the world, men, women and even transgenders celebrate love. But first what is 

some others say love is life, life is everything. I am not disputing any of these 

descriptions but if love is all of this, why do we carve out one day Feb 14th to 

celebrate it. Why not each and every other day? Why is there a specific day to 

celebrate love? You may not know the history behind Valentine's Day but here's a 

quick summary. There are two varieties of the Valentine story, one says Valentine 

was a saint who went against the wishes of Emperor Claudius to conduct 

marriages for couples after getting married was banned 

The other version says, he was the first to send a love card and he signed it off with 

from your Valentine. I prefer the latter because it's sweeter but it doesn't change 

the fact that Saint Valentine was a man who embodied love and willingly 

sacrificed himself in celebration of love. To him, love was worth his life. 

"love is a wonderful feeling" 

So I ask, what is love to you? Love to us at style beat magazine, is you, yes! you, our 

amazing readers. Love to me is like a bed of roses with a pillow of thorns, beautiful 

yet it can scar you. Love is my little escape route from life hassles, love is my 

paradise and as we celebrate this dearly beloved month of love, let's not forget that 

love transcends beyond Feb 14th. Let us love each and every day but first, I ask 

again, what is love to you?

Introduce yourself to our esteemed readers? Who is MRS Nazee Enyi ? 

CHINAZOMENYI 

• What is she all about? How would you describe yourself (personality)? What do you do for a 

living? 

THE SOFA TALK 

My name is actually Chinazom Enyi, but most people call me Nazee. I am an extrovert, I love making 

people around me happy, I love dancing, I am basically a happy child. 

• How has love affected your lifestyle in general? Given that some ladies 

have lost hope in that aspect of life. 

LIGHTS UP HE 

MY 

Love affected my lifestyle positively, I have been with my husband for 11 

years now. We dated for 4 years and have been married for 6. He lights up 

my world and always makes me laugh. We have our ups and downs but 

always come out of it even stronger. 

AND WORLD 

ME MAKES 

PAGE 08 | STYLEBEAT MAGAZINE NIGERIA 

LAUGH.

• How do you joggle all that you do and taking care of your home? 

CHINAZOM ENYI 

GET TO KNOW 

It’s not by my strength... God is definitely involved. He gives me the will and might to keep going. 

My husband also provides me with a very strong support system. It gets really tough sometimes 

to the extent that my mind starts to play tricks on me… whispering to me to give up, but with 

prayer and encouragement, I have learned to balance out all aspects of my life. 

• How many children do you have? 

Two beautiful children 

• I can’t stop gushing at this bikini bod right here, How do you do this with your type of job and being 

a mum? 

I work out at least 4 times a week and try to eat right, I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and I 

don’t joke with my sleep. 


THE SOFA TALK 

ENYI: 

CHINAZOM 

• At what age did you get in contact with 

style and fashion? 

I have been the family personal shopper 

since age 16. I don’t how that happened but 

yea I have an eye for good things, fashion, 

style, beauty you name it. 

• Who or what influences your style? 

I get style inspiration from a lot of 

fashionable people but Sarah Jessica 

Parker is my favourite. 

• How would you describe your signature 

look? 

Glamourous. 

• If you were stranded on an island what 

are those fashion items you cannot do 

without? 

My sunglasses, sun hat, lip balm and slides 

• What are your favourite trends right 

now? 

Tassels & thigh-high slits. 

• What trend would you want to “make it 

go”? 

Distressed Tee-Shirts!! Please!! 

• How long does it take you to get dressed? 

About an hour. 


THE SOFA TALK 

ENYI: 

• What is the latest collection of your Eyelash line like? What inspired it? And how has your 

CHINAZOM 

audience accepted it so far? 

The latest collections are ‘oge’ and ‘uju’. They are in the dramatic series and have been accepted 

excellently. I do make-up for a lot of celebrities that need that extra dramatic look for their photo 

shoots and music videos so the demand inspired it. 

• What is the perfect breakfast for your family? 

Pancakes 

• How do you spend your family time? 

My husband and I have movie nights, we try to all go out as a family on weekends to picnics, parties 

or just places where the kids can have fun and I read to my kids every night no matter how tired I am.

MY HUSBAND...

THE SOFA TALK 

CHINAZOM ENYI: 

• What does it feel like to move from Nigeria to Kenya? And how long did it take you to fit 

into the Kenyan Lifestyle? 

I was devastated when my husband told me about the move. I couldn’t imagine leaving my friends, 

family and work behind but It didn’t take me long to fit in because I put my mind to ensuring I grew 

my beauty brand here and of course I made friends along the way, a lot of which are my clients 

• In this social media age would you say the concept of “love, fulfilment and having it all as a Boss 

Lady” has been misunderstood? 

Well, generally yes. The misconception is usually around what people see as fulfillment, what 

their goals are. For some it’s get rich or die trying by any means necessary, for others it’s 

finding love and settling down to have a family and for people like me it’s doing what I love 

and being famous for it and still being the best mum and wife that I can possibly be. Ladies, 

you can be whatever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. Don’t let society 

dictate to you. It’s all about dreaming big, setting priorities and grabbing opportunities that 

come your way. Your dreams are valid! 

STILL BEING THE 

... 

MUM AND WIFE ... 

BEST 


THE SOFA TALK 

CHINAZOM ENYI: 

• How supportive has your husband been towards your dreams? In the Nigerian society, 

some men don’t actually want their women to be goal getters or “Boss ladies” what is your 

take on that? 

My husband is my number 1 fan and biggest critic! He encourages me every single day. There is no 

rest for me with him around. He believes I can do anything I set my mind on. With all that belief & 

support, I can’t even give up. He is truly a blessing. 

• What is your favorite quote? And your advice to young mums like you this Valentine? 

If you can think it and believe it, you can do it. For the young mums, you are beautiful. Be the 

best you can be and look your best for you, your husband and your kids every day. 

• Could you give us a sneak peek at how you would be spending your Valentine’s Day, 

notwithstanding the fact that it’s on an Ash Wednesday? 

Valentine’s day is a special day just like every other day with my Husband. Every day is Valentine ’s 

Day for us…. That said… we will be taking a trip to a beautiful beach that weekend. 

The Stylebeat Mag Team can’t thank you enough for this wonderful time on the Sofa. We 

hope you had a swell time with us too. Thank you so much, Mrs. Nazee.

Perhaps one of the most "Oscar-baiting" 

movies of the year (Meryl Streep, Tom 

Hanks, Steven Spielberg!! Come on!)... 

The post couldn't have come at a better 

time... 

A historical drama set in the early 1970's 

depicts the story of Kat Graham... And 

her fight to do the most difficult thing in 

the Reagan administration was to tell 

the truth. 

Meryl Streep does it again... Proving for 

the 61st time that she's more than a 

cold and technical actress. With her 

performance less proves to be more… 

And without excessive dramatics or 

hysterics.. We are sucked into life of the 

incredible woman Katharine Graham 

and what it means to risk everything to 

make the right choice. Tom hanks is as 

brilliant as ever in his performance as 

Ben Bradlee and with an ensemble cast 

including Alison Brie, and Bob 

Odenkirk... The acting in this film leaves 

nothing to be desired. 

Steven Spielberg is as masterful as ever 

with the post... With every movie we 

wonder if he can ever measure to the 

brilliance of "Saving Private Ryan". We 

are amazed each time and the post is 

no exception. Writers, Liz Hannah and 

Josh Singer do an amazing job with the 

script with half the material and in half 

the time!!! 

In all, The Post is a great movie on the 

threshold of becoming a master piece 

but narrowly falls short. Not to worry... 

We predict at least 5 nods at the 

Oscars Best actress for Streep, Best 

actor for Hanks, Best director for 

Spielberg and Best Screenplay for 

Hannah and Singer.) So, Go watch “The 

Post” and be shocked at how History 

has a way of repeating itself... 

RATINGS… 

4 STARS OUT OF 5.

Big brother on my timeline and mind. 

" STREETS THE ON " 

The hot topic on all our lips and social media pages is the Big brother Nigeria that is 

now ongoing. Even children who were mere babies when the maiden edition was 

aired are getting all excited and already picking favourites. Numerous reactions have 

trailed the commencement of the third edition and as usual, we are on this streets for 

the juiciest "tatafo " on the topic. There is the first group who are mad excited to 

watch other people do all manner of stuff on camera because they finally have live 

'amebo' to engage in. Then there are the people who are just glad that the show is 

back on as a great distraction from the effects of poor governance both on the side of 

the government and the suffering masses. There are also the social commentators 

who have put on their judges' hat, ready to watch to see and decry the moral 

decadence of the 21st-century Nigerian youth. But in all things, there is some lesson 

or knowledge to be gleaned. I personally can bet you dear reader that most watchers 

of big brother do not realize that it was inspired by the ominous surveillance system 

in the futuristic world of George Orwell's 1984. There you learned something new. 

Now let's get our popcorn and prepare to enjoy the show. Which "nation" shall I join? 

I ask myself based on logistics.

The artist is Akanimoh Umoh, a 

watercolor realist painter. Style beat 

magazine Nigeria had the utmost 

pleasure of discussing with him 

about his perception in the new year 

for his art and his art mistakes in 

2017. 

Here is what he had to say: 

Q: What is your personal 

perception of your art and the sales 

for you? 

A : Well.. personally I look 

forward to strengthening 

already existing relationships 

between myself and my clients 

and also with new clients 

interested in my art direction. 

I also hope to chart a new 

direction in my art too;forging 

new partnerships, evolving new 

styles and being a bit more 

professional in my approach this 

time around. Hopefully there 

would be no setbacks this year. 

( he laughs) but where such 

happens, I bet it's best I pick 

myself up, dust myself over and 

surge ahead like everyone else.

Q: What are the Challenges you 

faced in 2017 and what do you 

think 2018 will look like for you? 

A: Well..2017 was borderline 

okay. 

For my art, I had decided to let my 

Watercolour take a back seat and 

concentrated on drawings 

instead. I was going through a 

torrid time emotionally and I 

didn't want my emotional state to 

gradually seep into my 

watercolours so I decided to 

leave it on the back burner for the 

time being. 

On the flip side, in an effort to 

strike a balance, I decided to 

become a bit more outgoing and 

started attending art events and 

exhibitions and parties a bit more 

often than I normally did in the 

past. 

Q: Where can we view your 

artworks? 

A: (On) My Instagram handle
