Last Wednesday, the world once
again celebrated World Humanitarian
Day (WHD). Like most United Nations
Days, it is a day set aside to highlight
humanitarian issues and to draw
attention to the plight of the vulnerable
and less privileged members of the
society. This year, the commemoration
came quite apt considering the
devastating havoc the COVID-19
pandemic has wrecked on the world
and the efforts by humanitarian groups
to alleviate the sufferings brought on by
this disease.
Worth celebrating this year, are aid and health workers all
over the world, who, against all odds, cross all unparalleled
huddles to get aids to those who need them in crises torn zones
of the world.
Giving and helping vulnerable members of the society are
acts encouraged by many religions of the world. Some people
prize such acts of service of more value than one’s individual
needs and desires. While people give selflessly, even laying
down their lives to do so in risk prone environments, others do
charity works for the cameras.
Certain communities in Nigeria are weary of help from some
so-called philanthropist who enter such communities with a
retinue of pressmen and photographers to document their acts of
kindness. When in 2009, the UN General Assembly decided to
make August 19, World Humanitarian Day, it was provoked by
the need to immortalise Sergio Vieira de Mello, the chief
humanitarian in Iraq who was killed along with 22 other people in
a bomb attack on the Central Canal Hotel in Baghdad in 2003.
The world needs more of these people like our cover
personality, Elizabeth Jack-Rich Tein, who, in her desire to do
more for humanity, set up ELIN Group Limited, to fund and
sustain her foundation, the Elizabeth Jack-Rich Foundation. A
woman of substance with a heart of
gold, she shares her humanitarian acts J . E

Dress shirt
Elegant and simplistic, the dress
shirt is exactly what you need
when you’re aiming to impress. It
is typically thicker than a regular
shirt, with a pointed, wing or
cutaway collar and double cuffs.
The dress shirt looks best with
a tuxedo or three-piece suit,
complete with a bow tie and
cufflinks. It is often seen at black
tie events

Classic short sleeve shirt
A classic short-sleeve shirt is similar
to the traditional button-down shirt.
This shirt style has an open and
pointed collar. It is a stylish option
for a casual day at the beach or a
cafe. Available in a massive range
of colours and patterns. These shirts
look great without a tie and with a
pair of jeans, chinos or shorts.

Be you a businessman, lawyer,
or banker, there are types of shirts
that every man should have in his
wardrobe. A mix of shirts, polos, and
tees, is a sensible number for a guy.
From dress to classic short
sleeve shirt, some styles are made
for specific events and seasons and
can be worn in almost any way.
If you need some help deciding
which type of shirt to buy, here are a
few tips:
jeans
Polo shirt
polo
shirt
loafers
The polo shirt is a versatile and stylish piece of
clothing and looks best at casual events. Unlike the
T-shirt, it is made of woven fabric and is complete
with a pointed collar and a few buttons at the neck.
You can choose from an array of sweet colours for
a day out on the beach, or darker shades if you’re
heading out for lunch with mates.
Denim shirt
The denim shirt is a
piece of clothing that
can instantly tie an outfit
together. Be it a casual
gathering or a smartcasual
event, it creates an
effortless sense of cool.
Opt for a light-coloured
T-shirt under the denim,
and wear it with
a dark-coloured
pair of pants for
a simple, yet
trendy look.

INTERVIEW
Elizabeth
Jack-Rich Tein:
Passion for Humanity
Words By -Josephine Agbonkhese
Ever heard of anyone that establishes a company simply for want of adequate fund for her humanitarian agenda?
That’s Dr Elizabeth Jack-Rich Tein, the Founder/CEO, ELIN Group Limited, and Executive Director, Elizabeth
Jack-Rich Foundation.
An establishment with interests strongly established in aviation, real estate, oil & gas, and agriculture across West Africa
and the US, ELIN Group was founded in 2018 as a one-stop shop for oil & gas services, one year after the establishment of her
foundation. But trust fate to always smile on genuine enterprises; in only two years of operation, the company has landed
Jack-Rich on the world map. The Nigerian-Isreali has been featured on the covers of notable international magazines,
including Forbes China. Earlier this year, the mother of two became the first black woman to appear on the cover of World
Finance Magazine. Only last week, she was honoured by the Federal Ministry of Youths & Sports as the Matron of Nigerian
Youths. She is a receiver of the United Nations Global Women for Poverty Alleviation award.
An alumna of Cambridge University, Jack-Rich who holds a degree in Public Finance from the University of Usam, Port-
Novo, is currently studying for a postgraduate degree in Strategic Management at Harvard University. She has also bagged
an Honorary Doctorate degree in Leadership and Community from the Institut Superieur De Formation Professionelle,
Benin University, Republic of Benin.
In this interview, she speaks of her dream of an Africa that is financially-inclusive, early childhood, marriage, and also
relieves her childhood struggles.
How has the pandemic affected your business
operations?
The pandemic has really had a great effect,
negatively, on our services. Like we are all aware, the
aviation industry was closed for a while, while oil &
gas prices also fluctuated. However, things are
picking up now and we are grateful to God. On the
flip side, positively, it has thought my team and I, to
diversify and focus on other ventures of ours.
You sit atop a conglomerate with diverse
interests; have you found a need lately to rest or
dissolve any of these business interests due to
the pandemic?
Not at all. Instead, the pandemic has made me
realise the value of human consumption ventures;
especially the agricultural sector, which wasn’t a
priority in my company.
What makes being an employer to a huge number
of employees a tough job this period?
It has always been tough because you have to
cater for a large number of people. It has however
been tough during this pandemic because, I now
have to work 10 times more since I wouldn’t want to
lay off any staff due to the global economic
breakdown we are experiencing in the world. I feel
they really need me and the company now; more
than ever before. That is a difficult one because as a
wife and mother, it is more time-consuming for me.
Do you still see the possibility of actualising your
dream of an Africa that is financially-inclusive?
Yes. I always believe that anything is possible if
you set your mind to achieve it. This is one of my
many dreams I visualise about the new Africa. It’s a
possible reality and I see it visualising soon enough.
In specific terms, how has ELIN Group
contributed to growing Nigeria’s economy?
We have contributed through employment,
education and development of children, youths and
women. What many people do not know about ELIN
Group is that, it is the major sponsor of my charity
organisation. We allocate part of the company’s profit
into sponsoring projects of the foundation. It is our
way of making sure we invest into the growth of
everyone in the society.
Prior to the establishment of the company, what
career path did you pursue?
I never really pursued any career path. All I
wanted to do was humanitarian services. But the
more I rendered myself to humanity, the more I
realised I needed fund to keep up. Being one that
has never been dependent on anyone, my desire to
do more for humanity, therefore, inspired the
establishment of ELIN Group Limited. So, the
company was started as a backbone for financing my
vision. ELIN Group is my very first career path.
How did you fund the establishment of the
company and what inspired its various interests?
My husband has been my pillar of support. He
actually gave me my business capital because he
believes in women empowerment. That motivated
me a lot to be honest because, the greatest support I
can have is from my soul mate.
What gave you the foundational experience for
running a business empire of this nature?
Very funny enough, I had always wanted to be a
medical doctor. So, all through my school years, I did
more of science. My husband owns an oil & gas
producing company. So, in 2017, I observed they
were seriously struggling to get transportation to the
field. They needed a variety of services. I told myself I
could be a one-stop shop for oil & gas companies;
and that was it.
Aside my first degree, I also took some certificate
courses in aviation. Also, I immersed myself in the
basic knowledge of the fields I had interest in, and
also surrounded myself with professionals in those
fields.

INTERVIEW
Your growth has been phenomenal; what
strategies helped?
When we started ELIN Group, we began with just
two aircrafts and one jet. But today, we’ve grown from
that, through hard work. By God’s grace, we’ve been
able to multiply whatever fund was given for the
establishment of the business. The strategies that
have worked for me are hard work, commitment, the
determination to succeed and the fear of failure.
What propelled you into humanitarian work and
human capital development?
Although my love for humanity is inbuilt, I also
wanted to leave behind a legacy my children will be
proud of. I know I can’t help everybody but I wanted
my children to be proud of me. I want to define what
success means to them; I want to change the
perception that you have to be super wealthy to be
successful. No; you have to be devoted to humanity
to truly be a successful person.
Your foundation moved Forbes to come down to
Nigeria for a cover feature on you earlier in the
year. Tell us about the foundation’s achievements
and future plans?
I’m extremely proud of what we’ve been able to
achieve in a few number of years. We’ve fed over a
100,000 persons and sponsored medical bills. We
currently have over a hundred students in school,
and we’ve also empowered women and youths. Last
year, we started our first certificate training in
collaboration with the Belema Aid Foundation, my
husband’s company’s foundation. We sponsored
1,100 women for a two-week course. We did this with
the Small and Medium Enterprises Development
Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN. In fact, that training
cost us about 250million. We intend to keep
increasing the number of participants yearly but due
to COVID, we cannot gather that number of women
this year. I am proud of us and I pray for a larger
capacity because I know that I’m nowhere near what
I want to do for humanity.
Moving forward, we are strategically putting
together a more sustainable means of value creation
for women, youths and children. This birthed
ORUWODI, Opportunity for Rural Women
Development Initiative; and this is one project very
dear to my existence because of the more
sustainable and valuable impact that it will bring to
our society.
You were pictured with the Ooni of Ife at his
palace in February over your foundation’s
proposed empowerment intervention in Osun
State. How is that coming on considering the
pandemic?
The project is an initiative of my husband’s
foundation but due to the pandemic, they decided to
sedate things down and be observant. Also, Ooni of
Ife is a father to me. So, going to Ife wasn’t all about
the initiative but also going back home.
With your good looks, one would think you
missed your calling as a movie star. How do you
take care of your skin?
Well, I don’t like cameras and I can’t stand them in
the first place. As for my skin, I drink a lot of water
and I try to sleep as much as possible. I’m very lazy
about beauty regime. Most times, I break out once a
while like every normal woman. My skin is really not
that perfect.
You’re already an inspiration and a role model to
millions of people at such a young age; was this
a childhood dream?
I would say yes. Growing up, for me, wasn’t a bed
of roses. Considering the circumstances I grew up in,
I knew I wanted to change my story and be an
inspiration to many people out there.
What was growing up and your childhood like?
I grew up in Lagos with my grandmother and I
had the privilege of learning a lot from her. She really
instilled great values that shaped my life. My growing
up was very tough. I hawked, sold used clothes,
worked in bukas, trekked to school and even more.
Majority of my childhood was a struggle for me. From
school, I had to go hawk just for us to eat because I
was the only child with my grandma.
I guess you got married early?
Yes. I got married in 2015 at age 22. I missed
having a proper family experience; being with mum,
dad and siblings. So, I really wanted to have that. I
therefore desired to get married early. I met my
husband at age 20, we courted for two years and got
married when I was 22.
I now have to
work 10 times
more since I
wouldn’t want
to lay off any
staff due to
the global
economic
breakdown
we are
experiencing in
the world
Why didn’t you grow up with your parents?
My mother is from Ondo State and my father is
from Isreal. She had me while still schooling. My
father died early and my grand mum had to take me
so my mum could continue her education. In fact,
when my mother wanted to take me away later, I
insisted I wanted to keep living with my grandmother.
What’s the fondest part of your childhood
memories?
Like I said, I was the only one with my grandma
and you know what it is like to live with a
grandmother. You are not allowed to misbehave or be
irresponsible. My grandma was a particularly strict
person. In fact, I would say the fondest part of my
childhood was with her. She instilled in me so much
values and discipline.

Over exfoliating the skin:
Exfoliating is good for the skin, but like everything else,
too much of it is bad. As much as we want to remove
dead cells, let’s also understand how delicate the skin is
and why too much scrubbing might cause a tear that’ll
end up scarring the skin. So find the right way and let
your skin be thankful for that!
Not getting enough sleep:
As adults, getting the recommended
8-hour sleep feels like a stretch
because of our busy schedule; but
not getting enough sleep will not
only affect your skin due to stress
that might lead to wrinkles, it will
also affect your overall health.

Common
Skincare Mistakes
We Make
By - Linda Orajekwe

Constantly touching
your face:
During the early stages of COVID-19, we
regularly heard this message; don’t touch
your face. This is not just a COVID-19
prevention instruction. It can also affect
our skincare routine as our hands come
in contact with different germs that
might find its way to our faces.
It is no news that appearance is everything, and for
that reason, people are making an effort to ensure they
look flawless either with makeup or other cosmetic
products. But in trying to cover up these flaws, there
are some basic things we have to take care of to ensure
even the covered skin gets the quality attention it
deserves. We can achieve this by making minor but
vital adjustments in our lifestyles.
Not Separating Face
And Body Towel:
This is a mistake
many of us make.
Your face should
have its separate
sheet due to how
delicate it is co
mpared to other
parts of your body.

5
Not washing your
pillowcase & bed sheet
frequently:
One skincare mistake we make is waiting
for our pillowcase and bed sheet to
be visibly dirty before sending to the
laundry. This is wrong. Wash it as often
as you possibly can to reduce your contact
with germs.

Breastfeeding And Sexuality
Within days of giving birth, your breasts will be filled
with milk. Touching, rubbing or sucking on the nipples
during sex may make breast milk to flow and you may
even have leak or spray breast milk during orgasm.
Note that your vagina too will be dry for comfortable
penetration during mating. Therefore, spend time on
foreplay. Keep a bottle of a water-based lube handy
to make things easier when ruffling the bed sheets.
Furthermore, you may experience nipple pain
because of breastfeeding. This may make your flesh
sensitive. If uncomfortable with your man touching
your boobs during sex, be sure to tell him about this
ahead of time. Let him know you will prefer to have a
“look but don’t touch” rule, he can get arousal this way
from the visual while you feel more comfortable and
relaxed.
During this new and exciting time in your lives, it is
vital that you be open and honest with your lover, sex
postpartum can be fun and pleasurable. As with
everything else that is new in your life right now, you
need to work through this with your man. Have a
conversation about sex and how you feel about it, try
using these talking points to guide you:
*Bare your insecurities and concerns, it will allow
your partner to better serve you if you are honest
about how you feel — the good and the bad.
*Consider what you want by asking yourself what
you really seek in pleasure and intimacy right now. If it
is not penetrative sex, say so. If something doesn’t
feel comfortable, speak up. Similarly, listen when your
guy expresses his concerns and desires.
* You will know when you’re ready for sex again. If
it is not as soon as you want, that’s fine. You and your
spouse can explore other ways to be intimate. If you
are worried about pain or discomfort during mating,
talk with your doctor and consider taking your partner
with you to the appointment too. This way, you can
both ask questions and feel more secure in your
choices.
*Your body undergoes a lot of changes during
pregnancy and in the months after your baby is
delivered so, if sex does not feel as pleasurable
anymore (delivery can stretch muscles), talk with your
partner about trying a new position. Never assume it
is better to stay silent, pleasure and intimacy are a
two-way thing.
*Intimacy is more than sex while love making is
more than penetrative intercourse. If you and your
partner are looking for ways to reconnect and engage
one another in intimate ways, consider these
techniques:
*Kiss and make out with your clothing on, this
allows you to feel aroused again and may encourage
sexual activities in the future that both of you can look
forward to.
*Indulge in mutual masturbation and oral sex. Sex
toys may also be a good idea in post delivery period
while the surge of hormones, can make arousal and
sensual touching more pleasurable.
With a little time, effort and dedication, you and
your partner can find comfortable and meaningful
ways to reconnect and enjoy one another in this
post-natal period.
Bear in mind that this stage will pass; so, focus on
keeping the lines of communication open in the
meantime. Remember that intimacy is not equated
with having sexual intercourse. Rather, it is important
that you and your lover feel a closeness and bond
with each other. Kisses, an occasional nuzzle or a
back rub, may convey these feelings better than more
intense physical contact. Sincere compliments can
mean a lot to a new mother who may feel less “put
together” than she is used to, and may feel a little
self-conscious about her postpartum shape.
For this reason, it is important to share your
feelings about breastfeeding and new parenthood
with your mate whenever possible. Such
conversations can help preserve the intimacy of your
relationship during the physically challenging early
months, while also supporting your partner in her
breastfeeding efforts at a time when every
encouraging word helps.
If you love the sight of her breastfeeding your
baby, tell her how it makes you feel and if you
consider her new figure just as sexy, let her know.
Share with her your pride in her commitment to
breastfeeding as she breastfeeds in public, and make
herself available to satisfy your child’s hunger at all
times. This form of asexual support can eventually
help the couple to rediscover one another and reestablish
their intimacy and sexual expression.

What some of your favourite
celebrities said and we listened.
“Don’t trust everything you see
on social media, even salt
looks like sugar. Some people
aren’t really all they “post” to
be. So, live your life and be
content with whatever it is you
have and have achieved for
yourself. Do not wish to be like
anyone else. Secret of social
media is; Packaging is
EVERYTHING!”
Juliet Ibrahim hammers
on negativity of social
media.
“Remove your eyes from somebody
else’s achievements. That glory you
see has a story that you couldn’t
survive, if it was your battle. Say no
to envy. It’s OK to be happy for
people in their winning seasons
trust me your time will come. The
Sky is big enough for all”.
Medlin Boss pens words on
marbles.
“Hey sis, do not do wife
duties for girlfriend prices.
And in case you’re
wondering, wife duties
include; having a baby for a
man. Living with a man
you’re not married to. Being
there for him when he is
down. Cooking and doing
chores for him. If you gave all
that already, why would he
be in a hurry? Why buy the
cow when the milk is free?”
Princess writes open
letter to women.
“Things will certainly get better
after this. We shall overcome and
gain what we have lost in these
past days. Nobody hypes you
better than you, after the lockdown,
go out and do great things. Do
things better than you would have
done them before but with your

sanitizers in your pockets”.

PayPorte Unveils Chef Chioma
as Brand Ambassador
PayPorte, Africa’s leading online and in-store fashion for women,
has unveiled Chioma Avril Rowland, popularly known as Chef Chi as
brand ambassador.
This is also to commemorate the brand’s 6th anniversary come
September 2020, a pertinent landmark that many similar brands
didn’t survive to attain. Therefore, it is going to be a well-deserved
celebration and of course, an intentional-refueled effort to ensure even
better service delivery and customer, seller relationship.
Since its establishment in 2014, the Payporte family has not only
been strategic in their ambassadorial journey; but, has also been
specific on ensuring that the company’s values and customers’
interest is a top priority in their service and campaign deliveries.
Thus, the brand couldn’t have gone for a better option than the
young, vibrant, super mother of one and wife of music star Davido,
Chef Chioma, as its latest ambassador.
For Chioma, it is great to be associated with the brand as posted
with this photo on her Instagram page. “I’m looking forward to a very
exciting Partnership with Payporte as their Official Brand Ambassador.
In fact, I am already having an amazing experience.
Thank you to The MD/CEO Payporte, Mr Eyo Bassey, thank you to
my manager, Ubi Franklin.”
