Hi, there!

W

e wish our esteemed readers Happy New Year.

We thank you for sticking with us over the years. We appreciate your patronage, phone calls, text messages, comments and goodwill which together helped us to perform better. In this New Year, we hope to serve you even better.

Having a healthy hair is what you can work towards having this year. Most times, we focus so much on what we apply on our hair in order to make it grow, forgetting that great looking hair actually starts from inside out.

Eating a balanced diet and drinking a lot of water is the first step to take if you really want to acquire a healthy hair. Eating foods rich in protein as well as green leafy vegetables and fruits is the magic! Flip to our beauty page to get all the details.

Our featured personality is a woman who has worn various caps at different times. She is a teacher, counsellor, politician and, recently, diplomat. She was Nigeria’s immediate past ambassador to the Gambia.

Her wealth of experience which she shares with us is something we can all learn from. You don’t want to miss her inspiring story.

Sarauniyarr Jiwa An indigene of Chikara community in Co Abaji Area Council of Abuja, she spoke to abou her experience as female Tambarii about envoy childhood and many more. foreign envoy, Educational Background I have a Bachelors of Arts in Economics and Guidance/Counseling from the University of Jos. I started my primary education in Kaduna State at the L.E.A Primary School, Barnawa, in Kaduna. I then proceeded to the Government Commercial College, Zaria, Katsina State College of Arts, Science and Technology, Advanced Teachers College, Kano State, and University of Jos, where I had my degree. I will say I have other activities going on around me because I am currently going through a Master’s degree programme at the Cambridge Guard Graduate University, London, U.K. Career background I read Economics, and taught in Kuje secondary school and Tudun Wada secondary school, in Zone 4, Abuja, before I became a manager with the FCT Teacher’s Cooperation. I later went back to FCDA, Education Department, as a counsellor. I was always handling issues affecting students in schools, especially cases the schools found difficult to handle. I retired in 1998 from the FCDA Education Department and went into politics. I am a teacher by profession but I have discovered myself in the political terrain and, by God’s own desires, I also discovered myself as a diplomat. I left Gambia some few months back as an ambassador. I was once elected into the House of Representatives, representing Bwari Federal Constituency. Our tenure in the House was dissolved when the late head of state Gen. Sani Abacha died. I contested then under the UNCP and after that I contested for the position of Abuja Municipal Area Council chairman under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). I am a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, representing the FCT. Challenges I have discovered that everyone go through some challenges in life. The challenges I went through as a woman mostly have to do with my struggles with the men to get to the position I wanted attain. Yet, I have served in several non-governmental organisations and held many positions. I stood for election at the students’ union and got elected as a parliamentarian twice in Katsina College of Arts, Science and Technology and when I was in the Advanced Teachers’ College in Kano State. I have also led women organisations, I was one of the presidents of the National

ESTHER AUDU // Council for Women Societies in the FCT for 4 years. So I have discovered that men will not just let it go, you have to face the reality on the ground and keep struggling. We are in a male dominated society and with the kind of culture around us, especially the northern woman, you just have to be courageous and believe in yourself.

I HAVE LEARNT TO BE COURAGEOUS AND BELIEVE IN MYSELF. THAT IS WHAT I ALWAYS TRY TO TELL MY FELLOW WOMEN. I ALSO TELL THEM TO DISCOVER THEMSELVES.

Being an ambassador My experience as an ambassador in the Gambia was interesting. I found myself in a different world, standing in for my country as an envoy and had to sell my country. Everyone saw the image of my country through me, so it was a life of living your best, trying to tell the whole world what Nigeria is about. I had to learn to be diplomatic, in order to sustain relationships that were there already, and build more relationships for Nigeria. As a woman, that wasn’t really new to me because we have always had to lead our children, support our husbands nships. As an experienced mother, I was able and try to balance relationships. ure that the relationship I met on ground to do my best to make sure ies was sustained. I tried as much as between the two countries possible to get used to the cultures of the people so that th me and know that Nigeria is a they feel more relaxed with receptive country and wee are always ready to listen and work together for peace and progress. therhood and work Balancing between motherhood anning. You just have to plan To me, it is all about planning. your life, making sure thatt you put God first. Also, try to create an understanding between you and your children for them to understand why you are not where you are me they need you supposed to be at the time and make your husband understand the kind of position you are occupying.

Make him realise that at the end ding in of the day, you are standing for him and the countryy as ea whole. I thank God because there were orien-tation programmes that my husband and I went through before I went to Gambia. This was necessary for all envoys and their spouses. My husband was very supportive as he made our children understand that I was the image of our country and, as a result of that, they also had to conduct themselvess God that well at all times. I thankk o support me in my my children have learnt to ty I had, I made sure works and any opportunity I cook in the house.

Fond memories I would say, when I was in the parliament, there was a general name for me because I was always insisting on accountability, especially when we had to deal with th the treasurers and secretaries. I believe in accountability.

Childhood aaspira aaspirations goi to become a soldier. I was always adI thought I was going miring people in u uniform, excluding nurses. I never liked anything to do with the hospital but I wanted where I could give orders and they would be obeyed. I found myself as a teacher because by tthe time I went looking for admission, I was told that if I had tto go into the Army, I would have to be through the areas of nursing n or catering. Yet I loved children and I always believe believed that someone should be able to teach a child what he or she wants that child to do. I had love for teaching and I ended up a teacher. As a teacher, you correc correct and teach every day. I have discovered that I ha have a listening ear and that was the reason wh why some women in FCT decided that I shoul should go for an election. I didn’t just go into act active politics on my own. The FCT women brought me out to stand for the House of Representatives election. That was when Maryam Abacha, the wife of the late head of state Gen. Sani Abacha, was sscouting for women to vie for elective po positions.

Life Life’s lessons I hav have learnt to be courageous and believe in m myself. That is what I always try to tell my fellow women. I also tell them to discover yourself yourself, know who you are, develop any interest that you know you will be best at and go for it.

My husband husb &I Coincide Coincidentally, I was in my father’s house in Barnawa Barnawa, Kaduna State, when the young man came. H He told me that he had heard a lot about me and decided that he was going for my kind of wom woman. So he came to our house in the company of a late cousin of mine. He, in fact, told me that he w went to meet my cousin in Keffi and told him his intention towards me and they had to travel al all the way from Keffi to Kaduna to see me.

And bec because my cousin was involved, he was allowed in into the house freely but before they left, we spok spoke and he told me what brought him and we pick picked up from there.

Special gift from him Well, wh what I cherish most from him is his persistence sistence, going for what he wanted, he heard about m me and came for me and didn’t give up.

So I cherish che that boldness in him. I also cherish his softn softness. It is not every man that would allow his w wife into politics, he would always check on me in in-between my meetings and campaigns and, som sometimes, he would go out for campaigns with me.

//ESTHER AUDU

TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER IS ALWAYS A THING OF JOY FOR ME. THUS, I WAS ABLE TO BRING TOGETHER NIGERIANS OVER THERE, MAKING THEM TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN IMAGE TO PROTECT. myself.

Mode of relaxation I must let you know that I am a dramatic person.

I dance a lot. I am the type that would create time for myself for little exercise and relaxation.

While I was in the Gambia, I got myself registered with the Fajara Club, where I had to start learning how to play golf and I did a lot of walk to keep fit. Even if there is nothing happening, I like to call my children, drivers and cooks to enjoy ourselves because I am the type who like to be happy at all times and I don’t like dull moments. When sadness comes, I try to lift my spirit.

Best travelled destination sed the I would say Cape Town, I like how organised ey laws town is and how the people there obey here are and discipline themselves. The houses there organised and almost everybody has flowers and orchards. ve on Three fashion accessories I always have I love my trinkets. I love my shoes and my bags.

When I want to give out gifts, they are mostly shoe and bags and I like to use atampa (fabric) pensive to make my outfits. I don’t go for the expensive ones, I go for good styles because I am always conscious of how I look.

Best mum’s advice ways reMy mother was the type that would always houldn’t mind you that you are a woman and shouldn’t be in a hurry about anything. I tell my children not to be in a hurry because as you rush in, you est, my rush out. Take your time and get the best, mum used to tell me. e One advice I would give a younger me I would tell the younger ones the samee thing rry, take my mother used to say: ‘Don’t be in a hurry, your time and get the best, do what you can do ople for best and make sure that you respect people e. Try to who they are, no matter whom you are. look good because you are a woman.’ eep One old fashion accessory that I still keep I believe in beads and I know that beadss will never go out of fashion. I love beads.

Role models I grew up to know that I have to learn from andthe elders. I did learn a lot from my grandents, mother. She used to treat children’s ailments, h and so I sometimes followed her to the bush at the see the kinds of leaves she used to treat ngredichildren. I believe in herbs and natural ingredients. My other role models are those women, irrespective of their level of education, who awadid what they believed in. Like Gambo Sawaba, Laila Dogonyaro, and Margret Ekpo. I visited them and sat with them, when they were mwalk. alive. There was also the late Helen Gomwalk.

06

TAMBARI JANUARY 3, 2016

She told me how she was arrested and kept in Kirikiri Prison. Mama Gambo Sawaba, I think I was with her just two weeks before she died. The same thing with Margret Ekpo, I visited her just some few months before her death. I groomed myself after such people. By the time I read about Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome Kuti, who drove the first car in Nigeria as a woman, I said that if a woman could do that at that time, things will be easier for us now in the computer age. What my children do with the computer today, I believe that even at my age, I should be able to do that.

Beauty routine It is very important to rest because it will help you to look fresher. You should also exercise because it is good for the body. It may not be everyday but take your time to walk and sweat out and then keep fit. I believe in natural things.

My cream is always sheabutter and I have also taught my children to use it because it preserves your natural colour. If you want toning, it tones to your colour and

make your body smooth. I try to study what a particular plant does to be able to know its benefits. I believe that natural ingredients present the answers to our skins.

Favourite colour I love red and green colours.

Best dish I love tuwon dawa and we have our local soupmiyar gauta, but I also like vegetable soup. Because of aging, I need to eat more fruits. I don’t like fruits but I have no choice, I love my tuwo anytime, any day.

Legacies I would say those tasks that I have carried out, like when I served as a local government chairperson. I had a lot of awards because I made sure that I was always visiting the wards that are not in the city. Abuja municipal is made up of 12 wards and only four are located in the city, the rest are in the rural areas, without roads, water, lights and other social amenities. I concentrated on building of boreholes, provision of electricity transformers and those things are there up till date. I made sure that any money available was used to buy some items for the clinics and that is if you go to some schools today you can see a hostel named after Esther Audu. To me those are my legacies. While I was in the Gambia, we were using a rented apartment as an embassy and before I left, we built the new chalet and it was commissioned by former president Goodluck Jonathan. Also, the Nigeria International School over there, I made sure I sustained it and moved it from a rented place to a permanent site.

To bring people together is always a thing of joy for me. Thus, I was able to bring together Nigerians over there, making them to know that we have an image to protect.

Awe Lagos Unveils New Ethno-Urban Collection – Tribe (Season 1)

U

nlike many diaspora labels guilty of not infecting their collections with just the right dose of African or most times an overdose with Ankara laden pieces, Lagos based urban label ‘awe! Lagos’ is not shy of its Nigerian heritage and proudly flaunts it.

The success of their ‘Nirvana’ collection impressed upon the creative director of the label, ApooyinAbiola the fact that tying Nigerian roots to the labels aesthetics in an ”ethnourban” fashion guarantees success.

With that in mind he set out to create another collection known as ‘Tribe (season 1)’ based on an urban mind set with a clever twist as seen in the addition of some Nigerian content that sees each tribe represented by its cultural insignia.

The brand is taking on the evolving identity of the African Youth and the result is simple; the t-shirts are wearable, they’re not so bogged down by their high concept beginnings that you start to feel like a political activist wearing a message you don’t really believe in across your chest.

HELP! MY MUM HAS SMELLY DISCHARGE My mother was diagnosed with fibroid some years ago but for some reasons, she couldn’t remove it. The fibroid always felt like a baby in her womb. Right now, the thing inside her stomach is beginning to come out through her uterus with foul smell and blood. She is currently admitted at a hospital but they said they have no drug to treat her. I would appreciate your candid advice on this issue and an explanation of the nature of the illness.

Thank you, sir.

T

hese are the possibilities: First, it’s either fibroid polyps or a cervical polyp which has not only prolapsed but also became infected. The other possibility is cervical cancer.

She will need to be taken to the theatre for examination under anaesthesia and possibly polypectomy if it is cervical polyps. If the pedicle or the stalk is not big, it can easily be done by ligation. In case of big stalk or extensive base, then, one may need to do abdominal myomectomy or total abdominal myomectomy (TAH).

In case of the latter, infection must be controlled to avoid septicaemia.

In case it is suggestive cervical cancer, then EUA/ Biopsy will be done. In this case, the best option, if confirmed by histology, will be radiotherapy.

But from all indications, it is likely to be polyps, rather than cancer. Let a gynaecologist review her case. If there is none in the General Hospital, then, let them refer you to a Teaching Hospital or Specialist Hospital.

IRREGULAR PERIOD WITH DISCHARGE Recently, I have problems with my period. It started with irregular period and I have done some test. They said its heavy growth of candidiasis. Now my period has a bad smell and it lasts up to a week. After, the test, I was asked to use vagina tablet but it did not work for me. What do I do next?

From R.I.B Candidiasis does not affect menses.

It is a fungi infection. But since the discharge now has bad smell, then, it is a mixed infection. You need to see a gynaecologist. You may need to repeat the swab test. You must bear in mind that organism like chlamydia which is also implicated in such condition cannot be easily cultured.

Concerning irregular periods, infection may not be the problem, it is more likely to be hormonal.

I am three months pregnant with malaria (++). My gynaecologist prescribed quinnine. I noticed tingling sensations in my ear after three days and stopped taking it. I’m still feverish and my doctor is not in town. What do you suggest, please?

Grace, Jos Tingling sensation in the ear is one of the side effects of the drug. You may need to see another doctor. Changing to Artesunate combination therapy will suffice.

LIFT UP YOUR STYLE WITH SUSPENDERS

tylish men don’t need many accessories to look fashionable. Again, they are not bound by many fashion rules.

One common accessory that is worn by men is the belt, but before the invention of belts, it was suspenders.

Suspenders are an elastic strap used in holding up trousers. This fashion accessory is used by stylish men and is still in vogue.

Suspenders, also known as braces, can be found in materials like silk, synthetic rayon and it’s also done with ankara to give that traditional look.

One point to note about wearing suspenders is that it can’t be worn with belt on. Using suspenders gives a neat and presentable appearance, while making you feel comfortable.

This fashion accessory is a recommended must-have for the stylish man.

FINE COOKING

with

AJWANI FISH TIKKA The existence of fish dates back as far as the Biblical days. Jesus was said to feed 5000 with only five loaves of bread and two fish (Matthew 14:13-21). Over the years it has played a significant role in the society. It is a good source of protein and is always among the top 5 recommendations when implementing a healthier lifestyle. It is very rich in omega -3 which is essential for enhancing energy levels and concentration.

Preparation time is much quicker than other dishes.

Here at Wakkis, we know we can feed 5000 with our delicious Ajwani Fish Tikka served with fresh Nan bread.

INGREDIENTS & SPICES USED TO MARINATE AJWANI FISH TIKKA LEMON JUICE: Apart from being a cheap and effective antiseptic, the effectiveness of lemons for everyday use is very common around the world.

Having half a glass mixed with water everyday helps prevent kidney stones in the long run.

Having half a glass of lemon juice also speeds up your metabolism making you feel hungry in-between meals. The zest of the lemon is used as an additional ingredient when cooking or roasting and it is also used as an infusion in drinks or garnish for cocktails. Bartenders lightly burn the zest to lightly caramelize the oils and subtly enhance the flavour of the cocktail (might also allow for more tips when you make enough heads turn).

The distinctive smell of the zest allows for constant freshness that lingers for hours on end.

Over the years it was believed that lemon juice would dissolve a fish bone if it was accidently swallowed. Before you run off drinking gallons of lemon juice, sucking on a lemon causes the throat muscles to contort, helping to dislodge any stuck bone. This is also the reason why most fish dishes come with a slice of lemon. Most of our dishes at Wakkis are deboned for your convenience except maybe our Sole Fish which requires finesse during consumption.

AJOWAN SEED: Ajowan seeds is also known as Ajwain seed or Carom. Did you know that this seed leads to greater sexual virility and higher libido in both male and female by acting on the hormones responsible for sex drive. A daily dose of a mixture of ajowain seeds, tamarind seeds, honey, ghee and milk everyday increases vitality and libido. For pregnant and lactating mothers it im-

provess diges-t i o n a n d mitigates constipation whilst pregnant. After pregnancy it possesses internal healing properties and improves milk production and blood circulation in nursing mothers. Please note that as the wise saying goes “Too Much of Everything is bad”.

Over consumption of ajowan seeds may cause nausea, vomiting or gastric ulcers. The seed are small enough to get stuck inside dental cavities and it gets difficult to remove.

RED CHILLI POWDER: These are chilli peppers which have been sundried and then blended to powder form. The first thing that grabs your attention is the unique colour of the chilli compared to the famous “yaji” used for suya in Nigeria. The redness would alter the appearance of any dish. The amount of iron in chilli powder leads to increased haemoglobin production and increases blood flow allowing for delivery of sufficient amounts of oxygen and iron in the brain which help improve cognitive performance. It is also a very important ingredient in defensive sprays i.e. pepper sprays as this becomes very irritating when it comes in contact with the eyes giving the victim enough time to flee to safety.

The fish is carefully butchered to perfection and marinated in all these spices and then grilled in-
