AISHA ABUBAKAR ACHONU // Background My name is Aisha Abubakar Achonu.

I am from Kebbi State and I’m married to Senator Athan Achonu from Imo State. I was born into a family of 8 children and I’m the 4th child. I started my early education at Our Lady of Fatima Primary School Gusau from 1988 to 2003, and then I proceeded to the Federal Government Girls’ College Gusau, Zamfara State in 1994 and finished in the year 2000. I got admitted to the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in 2005 where I studied Geology and I graduated in 2010. I got my fashion Diploma from the Fashion Academy in Abuja immediately after school and then I officially started business in 2011 and at that time, I was also working at the Leadership Newspapers in Abuja, so I didn’t have much time to focus on the designs but after a while I left and focused on my business fully.

Passion for fashion To be honest, I would say my mum did because while growing up I noticed she was very fashionable, so I fell out a lot with tailors who made my cloths.

As a child, I can remember my mum making me up on my birthdays, she would make me wear like six different cloths which will include shorts, iro and buba, skirts and blouse , dresses and so on, it was exhausting but I loved it and I always fell out with my tailors if they didn’t get certain things right while sewing and at a point, I started having a lot of interactions with tailors and I said to myself, I can also do this because I would love to do it perfectly.

So I decided ed to go and learn the skills. It wasn’t easyy though because apparently I found out ut that I don’t like to sew. It was difficult ult for me but my instructor at the fashion n Academy, Neena Kwande, was very patient with me and I picked up from there. here.

About Aisha Abubakr Luxury Design The name me of the brand is Aisha Abubakar and that is my maiden name because I started the business before I got married. ried. It is actually focused on luxury and d detailing, and finishing in cloths is very important to me. I like to be veryy comfortable in my cloths as well as look good and I don’t see why I should ould make that clear in my own cloths and then make uncomfortable table cloths for other people ple to buy. So Aisha Abubakar is just a luxurious brand for people who are interested in looking good and feeling ng good at the same time. e. The brand is just aboutt 4 years old now although ough business in Abuja is sometimes slow because cause people tend to shyy away when they hear luxury design because they think it is not affordable but if you compare mpare it to the international national rate, it iss way cheaper.

We put in a lot

MY HUSBAND IS MY BIGGEST SUPPORTER, HE IS MY BIGGEST FAN, AND HE IS ALSO MY BIGGEST CRITIC. more time with the hand works and detailing.

Creative designs I get my fashion ideas most times from my mood; if I am in a very good place, I get to see a lot of bright colours and things that concern the environment and time. Like for my recent collection which is called the “night flower”, I had a very good day that faithful day and then I came back home and met my two dogs - Maximus and Snow, they had played with flower verses and I couldn’t even get angry because I met flowers stuck in their hair and they were right outside, so they looked really interesting as they had roses stuck on them and we were all seating outside a n d w a s i t The dark.

scenario looked nice and from there, all of the idea for our 2015 collections came up. The first thing I read about Kim K’s book way back in school was that one should write down any ideas you get no matter how stupid it is, so I always write down stuffs no matter how unimportant it is but I have realized that anything you write down, you would come back to it and with time, you can make that silly idea a good one.

Challenges There are lots of challenges. There are times when you can’t just do anything new and it makes you feel uncomfortable and I wouldn’t say Abuja is not fashion forward, I just think we have not had enough activities in the city to push designers. Then there is the Nigerian factor which is lack of electricity, labour is high because the cost of living is also high and you are spending a lot on salaries and other things, so it makes it a little difficult for you to make profit.

Growing up I think growing up was fun, my parents were very strict. My dad was a teacher before he became a bank manager and my mum has always been a teacher and we had all of these steps that I had to climb; you have to be a stellar student , be prepared at all times because people look up to you and you have to be an example to them. Though it wasn’t fun to be an example because there was a lot of pressure but my mum had it balanced, she was strict and at the same time very motherly and I don’t think I lacked anything growing up.

Childhood Memories I remember when I used to sell sweets to my classmate. Whenever my mum buys sweets in the house, I will take them to school and then sell them and I got a very good whipping. One day, she was on her way back from work and after selling a few bags of sweet, I got on a bike to the market to get more sweets and my mum just saw me right on time and asked me where I was going to, and I told her I was going to buy sweets that I would sell in school. She asked me if that was what she sent me to do in school and I got a good

CO V E R

whipping for that.

Aspirations as a child I had always wanted to be a pilot but along the line, I weighed my options and decided to do the things I loved doing. I have always really been very independent, I am not easily influenced and I think my parents noted that at a very early stage and at a point, they just had to let me follow my dreams and do what I want to do because those are the things that make me happy.

Meeting my husband It was his daughter’s birthday, she was turning 10 at that time and a friend of mine invited me for the birthday.

I was all dressed up for the birthday but my friend came late to pick me up, and I had already changed and even removed my make-up but I said oh well, we could still go, so I wore a long dress and slippers only for me to get to the venue and everybody was nicely dressed and I was the odd one out. I quickly sat down and after a while, we were all introduced and I had a long talk with him because he is very passionate about empowerment and tackling some of the national issues in the country. He foresaw them a long time ago, and some of those issues trending today are what we talked about 3 years ago. Afterward we kept in contact and he continued calling me and finally, he got his way and today, we are married.

Husband’s Husband support He is my biggest supporter, he is my biggest fan, and he is also my critic. I learnt a lot of things biggest criti because he has been in from him b business for many years and he is a so he lets me sit made businessman, busin so that I can acquire in his meetings meeti more ideas because he says that I worry about the creative aspect of the looking at the main business, without wit business. He lets me sit in his meetings to learn how ho business is done on another level leve and such experience has changed my business between 2011 and now.

In 2011, I was just worried, I just people to see what I had to needed peo with him mentoring me in his offer but wit own kind of way even though I resisted things, I have to admit that they a lot of thing helpful. I would say the most were very he special gift I get from him is nothing compared to t his love, he is really different. I have ha not had someone love me like this, so s when I see how he loves me, it makes me love him more.

Three fashion accessories me always on m I would alw always have a wristwatch on and nice simple jewellery. me, shoes an Life philosophy phi Patience Patienc is a virtue. I learnt that because I wasn’t very patient while growing up, my mum would always say ‘slow down, it will all come’ and that is true actually because when you slow down, becau everything will come to you. everyt

// AISHA ABUBAKAR ACHONU

I HAVE THIS WRAPPER, THE WRAPPER IS SO TIRED BUT IT IS NOT LIKE IT IS BAD. IT’S HOLLANDAIS AND I’VE HAD IT SINCE I WAS LIKE 16 AND I JUST LOVE IT TILL DATE. Favourite travelled destination I love Paris. There is something about that town that makes me bring out my sketch book, something always inspires me even if it is just visiting a café and seeing how people interact, people that don’t even know each other.

How they interact is good to watch, if you speak French of course.

Best form of relaxation I love to speed while driving so I get on the freeway mostly at night at odd hour when the road is not crowded, it makes me relax.

Favourite author I have a few authors that I like. I have times when I like to read Wole Soyinka’s books, I also have times when I read Chinua Achebe’s books and recently I have been reading a lot of Chimamanda’s books but when I was in school, I basically used to read a lot of books by Businessmen and women like Kim K, Oprah and recently I read Obama’s book. I love to read inspirational books but for novels, I prefer the African novels.

Style defination I like to dress simple, I am a very simple dresser and I think simplicity allows your individuality to show and it also allow the dress itself to show.

Best colours I love red, black and white Beauty routine I have a very bad beauty routine but one thing I make sure I do is that I try to wash my face on nights that I feel I can’t take a shower but I don’t really follow a routine to be honest.

Favourite fashion designer Myself. But I also like Dolce &Gabana and to be honest, my sister- in-law is a fashion designer in Nigeria and I think her designs are exclusive and they influence my work.

Favourite perfume I like Clive Christian; you can wear it from day to night.

Mum’s words that stuck She would always say, slow down it will all come to you.

Advice for women Some people consider me a feminist when I speak, but yes, I am a feminist, I do want equal social economic rights but it doesn’t mean I don’t love my father or my brothers or my husband but it is important for women to know that we are not second class citizens and we are everything that the world is about, the world revolves around us.

Role models My mum is my role model; she is very strong, fun to be with and very disciplined and I try to be like her.

Best day of the week Friday, because I know that I would get some sleep the next day. I like to sleep, so from Monday to Friday is not a good time but I know that on Saturday, I can have some quality sleep.

What I would tell a younger me Slow down.

Old fashion accessory still cherished I have this wrapper, the wrapper is so tired but it is not like it is bad. It’s Hollandais and I’ve had it since I was like 16 and I just love it till date.

Brand name that appears mostly in my wardrobe Well, my brand is all over my wardrobe but apart from my brand, I would say Chanel.

Balancing home front and business I work with time; I try to time myself very well and I am glad I have my factory within my premises and I have a team too, so what I need to do is create and pass it on and it evolves into what it is supposed to be. My home is very important to me, so it is my priority and I try to balance things. My husband is very supportive so it easier when your spouse understands that you need to get things done.

Legacies I want to be known as that Hausa lady whose brand is in Harrods. I want the name Aisha Abubakar Luxury design to be everywhere around the world, and I want to also give back to my society especially women of where I hail from.

I need them to know that things have changed and we are capable of everything that we are meant to be, having limited opportunity doesn’t mean you can’t break out of it.

Our clothes!

Our pride!

by PRISCA EMADU

igeria is a country blessed with a population of over 170 million, more than 300 ethnic groups, different foods, languages, cultural practices and dressing. Amidst all these, one thing that distinguishes Nigerians is their different ways of dressing.

The way a Nigerian is dressed can easily show where he or she is from. Each culture and ethnic group attaches significance to its style of dressing.

Hausa: A major ethnic group in Nigeria, the men dress mainly in kaftan and agbada (babban riga) and a cap. The women wear mostly lapaya or long gowns, skirts and blouses, head gear, then wrapped with a veil.

Both attires can be worn during weddings, Eid celebrations and other festivities. A woman dressed as described portrays modesty and decency.

Igbo: Another major ethnic group in Nigeria. The men dress in their native akpochei top (suede material), black trousers, a red cap, walking stick and beads. This attire sometimes signifies royalty. The women wear blouses, two wrappers, beads and a head gear. The attire can be worn by a new bride or used to grace different occasions.

Yoruba: The 3rd major ethnic groups in Nigeria. They are known to dress in the popular aso oke material which is sewn for men in form of agbada and for the women Iro and buba. These attires can be used as a groom and bride’s attire and can also be worn for any event.

Tiv: An ethnic group in north central Nigeria. This people can be easily

distinguished because of the unique ck pattern of their attire which is made in black and white woven material. o Egbira: These people are also known to dress like the Yorubas. ps Isoko and Urhobo: These ethnic groups are from the South-South region of Nigeria and share similar cultural practices. The men tie a wrapper round their waist; wear a lace blouse, hat and carry a walking stick. d The women tie two wrappers, a blouse and shining head accessories. elves Benin: They are known to adorn themselves n with beads, especially the women. The men mes tie a red wrapper round their waist, sometimes with a top or without a top and wear beads.

The women tie a red wrapper round their chest, wear a top made with bead, and egs adorn their heads, hands and legs with beads. Their attires signifyy a new bride, royalty or a chief. gerian Efik: The men from this Nigerian tribe wear a top, side knotted d the wrapper, a wrapper tied round g stick. The neck, a cap and carry a walking ong gown women wear a puffed hand, long eir hair with or a skirt and blouse, adorn their taff. gold accessories and carry a staff n for their Fulani: They are also known ar a top unique material, the ladies wear ne that shows their tummy, tie one n piece wrapper.

These are some of the ethnic ic groups in Nigeria with different nt cultural attires that distinguish them.

PREVENTING JAUNDICE IN TEN YEARS NEWBORN AND STILL Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada - FCT. MOBILE: 0803 803 9182 EMAIL: nadewole2013@gmail.com

When I had my child two years ago, she was diagnosed with jaundice. I am rhesus negative while my husband is rhesus positive. I was warned of possible danger in my next pregnancy. What do I do to avoid danger in my next pregnancy. Chisom, Kano

R

hesus incompatibility occurs when the husband and wife has different rhesus group.

This is significant like in this case when the wife is negative and the husband is positive. Usually there is no problem with the first pregnancy and the first baby.

This incompatibility is a cause of haemolytic disease of the newborn that is jaundice immediately after childbirth. But the problem can start during pregnancy.

If the baby rhesus group is negative like the mother there will be no problem but if the fetus rhesus is positive and cross to the mother’s blood it causes immunological reaction that can lead to destruction of the foetus or baby’s red cell. This results in jaundice and anaemia.

In your case, most likely you have been sensitized and the implication is every subsequent

pregnancy is worse than the previous. Where the facility is available even if the destruction of the red cell started from the womb, exchange blood transfusion could be done while the baby is still in the womb. But this could be done in highly specialized centre. Only very few centre can do this in the country but it is more readily available abroad.

I will advise you go for prenatal clinic, a clinic before conception for proper planning.some university teaching hospitals have the capacity.

The best is to prevent isoimmumnization, therefore all pregnant women who have rhesus incompatibility with their spouse should have Rhogam injection immediately after delivery.

This should be administered not only after term pregnancy but also after abortions prevention is better than cure.

FREQUENT URINATION AT NIGHT

WAITING I was operated for ectopic pregnancy ten years ago. I then did family planning for two years and I have been trying to have a baby Since then, without any success. I did several tests including HSG. The doctor recommended folic acid, some of my friends advised me to be take clomide. I use to have abdominal pains after my period around ten to fourteen days and it will appear as if I conceived. Please advise me I want to have a baby. I hear that those who have ectopic pregnancy don’t concieve again.

Please, help me. Anonymous First let me debunk the notion that those who have had operation for ectopic will not conceive again. It is not true. One of the first patients we operated for ectopic pregnancy when I started practicing, reported in the family planning clinic five years later after the operation by then she had three kids. Once the other tube is normal, they can have as many children as they want.

How old are you? It appears the plan for conception as not been sysytematic. Let me also mention that folic acid and pregnant care conception are not primarily fertility drugs. They are medication for support in early pregnancy especially at initial formative phase.

Since you have done HSG and your doctor is given you clomid, one can assume your other tube is ok. I will suggest proper follicular monitoring whenever you take clomid so that timed intercourrse could be advised. I also hope your spouse has done seminal fluid analysis too and is normal. Another alternative is for you to do IUI that is intrauterine insemination.

Finally if there is no financial problem then invitro fertilization is an option.

I am a teacher in Kufana, Kaduna State. My problem is I urinate always in the night but anytime I run tests, they will say I have low blood sugar. Doctor please tell me what to do. Musa S, Kufana, Kaduna State.

How old are you. It is not only sugar problem that is diabetis that is the cause of frequent urination. Othe possibilities include urinary tract infection, benign prostatic enlargement (BPH) among others. In the case of urinary tract infection, there could be associate painful urination and urgency. Urine culture and sensitivity will be necessary. For BPH and other prostatic problems, age is associated with this. As men increase in age there is increasing incidence.

Sometimes controlling the quantity of water consumed towards evening may solve the problem especially if there is no pathological, cause can be found. For further consultation see a urologist.

FINE COOKING

with

GARLICKY PRAWNS “Shallots are for babies; Onions are for men; Garlic is for heroes. – Unknown. The word “prawns” alone brings a higher level of class to this dish. This is one for the fish lovers who can tolerate the over-powering and after taste of garlic. Garlic is for heroes – oh yeah! This is one harmonious dish for those who like to step up to a challenge in style. “Challenge” and “Style” – Need I say more?

INGREDIENTS USED IN GARLICKY PRAWNS PRAWNS: First of all let’s take this moment to say a little prayer for all the prawns that have gone to fish heaven. This beauty is a major ingredient used in different cultures.

The Chinese could be said to over-indulge in consumption of prawns as this is a veryy common ingredient in their delicacies. In n Nigeria, prawns are often substituted for or periwinkle in some Nigerian dishes. The he selenium found in prawns help to prevent nt the growth of cancers in the body. If you didn’t know, prawns fall in to the fish/seafood category (we just blew your mind)! This makes it a rich source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Did you know prawns are a rich source of calcium (next time you want to have a glass of milk, have a bowl of prawns instead) making it beneficial for strong teeth and bones. At Wakkis, this is one of many dainty platters which have prawns included in them.

SOYA SAUCE: This is made from a fermented paste of boiled soybeans, roasted grain, brine, and Aspergillus sojae molds. After fermentation, the paste is pressed, producing a liquid, which is the soy sauce, and a solid by-product, which is often used as animal feed. Due to the sodium

content in this, some countries use this as a healthier alternative to processed salt. Be warned that over – consumption as with any other can cause problems. People with complains of high blood pressure should avoid soy sauce, for its high content of sodium.

Moderation is key – Except ice-cream! Hint - use this to sauté your vegetables to give it a bit of flavour.

WHITE PEPPER POWDER: White pepper is the ripe fruit of pepper wine which is dark red in colour when on the wine. It is soaked in water for nearly 15 days, after which it sheds its skin leaving the white seed inside the pepper fruit. This is dried and used as white pepper whole or powder. This can be used as a home remedy for tooth aches in

TOMATO SOUP: Cream of tomato soup served with homemade croutons and freshly baked baby nan.

con conjunction with clove oil or table salt.

Because of its carminative properties it boosts the secretion of hydrochloric acid and assists in carrying out digestion more effectively. People who suffer from cataract could mix white pepper with almonds in a 1:5 ratio and then mix with brown sugar and ghee. It makes a miraculous cure for cataract that has been tried and tested on many patients.

We could tell you how good it tastes or show you. The beauty of this dish is not only visual; it goes further to tickle your taste buds. Having this with some pilau rice and gravy keeps your lunch sorted for typical Monday Rush or Friday Ginger.

What your

lipstick colour say about you

by MULIKATU MUKAILA hether you are stepping out casually or giving a business presentation, people will always judge you initially by how you appear. Makeup forms an integral part of a woman’s look and, primarily, the lipstick colours she chooses speak volumes about her. These days, just like the colours of the rainbow, there are lipstick colours available in virtually every shade. Lips are naturally the focal point of a woman for most people when stepping out officially or casually. If you are not the ‘deep lip’ kind of girl, you must at least get them lined and filled up

W

with medium toned shades or medium toned lip glosses. Selecting lipstick colours to suit one’s skin tone and personality comes with a simple thumb rule: “Every woman should have a neutral lipstick that is just one notch above her natural lip colour. This is her go-to shade; one she can wear anytime for a polished look. Once you have found this match, you can select brighter, deeper or textured versions of that shade for variety”.

Remember, if you have a fair complexion, you must use lipstick colours to subjugate it-so go on and use brighter shades which says a lot about you.

FAC I A L C A R E Tips on how to choose a lipstick colour: with MULIKATU MUKAILA

1. Find your lipstick colours: Use natural colour of your lips as a guide. For subtle definition to thin lips, use a lip liner. This should match the lipstick and your natural lip shade.

2. Build your lipstick wardrobe: Once you have found your lip’s natural lipstick colour, you can select matte, glossy, creamy and comfortable lipsticks in those colours and you can even select some with moisturizers that will suit your lips.

DO YOU KNOW...

IF YOU USE A LIPSTICK THAT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUR LIPS, IT WOULD GIVE YOU A CRACK ON THE LIPS?
