C.o.n.t.e.n.t.s Hello Readers,

E

very fashionable woman should have secret style tips that keep her in charge and naturally on top of her game. If you don’t have one, quickly note this: it will last you a lifetime.

Have you ever wondered why some people come out looking as effortless as possible? It is not always coincidental, they take their time and have secret tips they keep to themselves. Little wonder some people hardly ever go wrong when it comes to dressing.

What was on Choco Channel’s mind when she created the black little dress? We might not be able to give a perfect answer, but that was the most revolutionary fashion creation in the fashion world. Even if you don’t own an LBD, you would be forgiven for knowing about its creation because fashion makes no sense if you are ignorant about its rules. Your own fashion tips are probably in the power of your dressing or choice of colours or accessories. Whatever it is that makes you to stand out is your secret weapon, and only you can decide when to use it most effectively.

Among colours, the power of red is almost unbeatable. It’s ‘delicious’ shades range from deep to spicy tomato, all the way to light tints of pink, which are all complimentary when used appropriately, so have lots of fun.

Our personality for the week is Halima Buba, who wished to be a police officer.

Hope you enjoy the package Have a great week.

‘My ambition was to be a nurse, police officer’ INTERVIEW BY Mulikatu Mukaila

B

orn in 1974 in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Halima Buba started her early education at Zaibadari Primary School, Michika, from where she proceeded to the Federal Government Girls’ College, Yola and graduated in 1991. She attended the University of Maiduguri where she read Business Management and later bagged a master’s degree.

After her national youth service programme in Abuja at the Nigerian Export and Import Bank, she secured a job at the All State Trust Bank, where she worked for about two years and moved to Zenith Bank. She later proceeded to the Inland Bank as a deputy manager.

She worked there for about two years and moved to Oceanic Bank as a manager. She rose to the rank of an assistant general manager.

Following the merger of Oceanic Bank and Ecobank, Halima Buba was recently promoted as a deputy general manager in charge of the Public Sector Group in the Federal Capital Territory and the entire North. The mother of two spoke to Tambari on her childhood dreams, motherhood experience and more.

Halima and her children, Mahmud and Amina

Growing up as a child

The fondest part of my childhood days was in secondary school - the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), Yola. In my school in those days, there were students from all parts of this country. That afforded us the opportunity to meet people with different characters. There were a lot of activities, and it was fun. That was the best part of my growing up as a child. I don’t think I can forget that easily; it was quite interesting.

I also recall when we would go for excursions in other schools and make friends with students there. And at the end of the day, writing letters was the only means of communication. But today, we have mobile phones all over.

Aspiration as a child

I had wanted to be a nurse because they look admirable in their complete white attire. I had always admired them, and my mother always told me that if I became a nurse I would save lives and God would reward me. She said it was one of the best professions one could think of, especially for a woman. Along the line, however, my ambition changed from becoming a nurse to becoming a police officer. I never thought I would become a banker. I was already building the ambition deep down in me because I loved to investigate cases. Anytime I came across cases I would imagine what must have transpired to

trigger the incident. I love to investigate things.

However, after my youth service, I got the opportunity to work in a bank.

The journey to my banking career

After my national youth service, my friend came all the way from Lagos to visit me. She asked me to follow her to Lagos, but I declined because my uncle would not be in support of that. And I had never been to Lagos. So we cooked up a story that we were going for an aptitude test in the All State Trust Bank. He gave us a note for the chairman of the bank because he happened to be familiar with him. They were classmates in Kings College, Lagos. When I got there he attended to me and asked if I would want to work in the bank. I said I didn’t mind, so he asked me to sit for the test, which I passed.

I got the job offer and that was how I started my career as a banker.

Following my parents’ footsteps

I took after my mother. She cared for people around her a lot. My father is very reserved and conservative, but my mother was a people’s person. She was very lively and always wanted to see members of her family in a joyous mood.

“My ambition changed from becoming a nurse to becoming a police officer. I never thought I would become a banker. I was already building the ambition deep down in me because I loved to investigate cases.”

COVER INTER VIE W What I miss most about her

I miss her generosity. I also miss the fact that she loved people. In fact, whenever we visited the village during holidays the house was always filled with distant relatives, but since her demise there is a difference; you hardly see people. May Allah continue to bless and reward her.

Motherhood experience

Motherhood is wonderful. To really feel the sweetness in it one has to go through it. When I had my first child, I couldn’t believe that the baby came out of me; maybe because I had heard many stories about labour pains. I was still expecting the pains to come when the baby came and, Alhamdullillah, it was a fast one for me.

Motherhood and career

It is not easy to work in the bank as you are expected to leave your house at 7am,

depending on how close your office is. I started work as a cashier. In those days there was nothing like teller machines or ATM, so the job was more tedious as long queue of costumers would wait for you to attend to them. But as a single lady then, I didn’t have responsibilities attached to my schedules. But in life, as you take on more responsibilities such as motherhood, things will also change for you because you will have to take care of the home front and the office as well. In other professions, people say that the higher you go, the cooler it becomes, but it is not like that in the banking sector. So, as a woman it is not easy to combine both job and home front. However, in life we all have to prioritise and give everything its time.

Mode of relaxation

I relax by spending time with my family. Sometimes we all go out to the cinema to watch movies together and visit relatives.

Fovourite holiday spots

I don’t like travelling outside the country. I prefer to travel down to my village to spend time with my parents and extended family members.

Sincerely, that is my favourite holiday routine. I travel outside sometimes when it comes up, but I prefer to travel to my village where my kids will have all the time to play with other children. I will also have the opportunity to see and relate with my childhood friends.

Role models

I have lots of role models from different professional backgrounds and different paths in life.

I met a female doctor when I was travelling to Lagos recently. We sat next to each other in the aircraft and we started discussing about the issue of the Ebola disease. I told her that the doctors were trying their best, but she said it was their calling; hence, it was their duty to treat anyone who contacted the disease. I immediately admired her for

that courage and bluntness.

Also, my principal in the FGGC, Yola, Hajiya Maryam Yunusa is one of my role models because she was a very beautiful woman and very intelligent.

She taught us how to walk and talk like ladies. She would always tell us that as a lady you don’t walk anyhow, you would raise your shoulders up and walk majestically. She taught us a lot of things about life, and I am most grateful to her.

Definition of style

My definition of fashion is what you can wear and feel comfortable in. You don’t have to follow the trend. I love fashion a lot, but because of the nature of my job I have a dress code for working days and other days. I love to put on my normal traditional attires.

I love the atampa prints because they are casual and light in nature.

Beauty routine

I love natural products, and I visit the spa quarterly.

Best part of my culture

In fact, I love every aspect, from the dance, the food, the people and the mode of dressing.

Lesson of life

In life you don’t give up, and you should always tell yourself that you can do it. This is because life itself is all about challenges. If we don’t take challenges we will miss some other things.

Achievements

Honestly, I thank God for the position I found myself at my age. I think I should give Allah the glory.

Legacies

I want to be known as a very kind person and someone who loves to assist people in need.

“In life you don’t give up, and you should always tell yourself that you can do it.

This is because life itself is all about challenges. If we don’t take challenges we will miss some other things.”

Gold Apple watch that can buy 10 Ipads COMPILED BY Victoria Onehi

A

ccording to a new report, one gold Apple Watch can buy a new iMac computer, as well as the new iPad Air 2.

Apple’s new smart watch is sold at $349, but if you want it in 18-karat pink-or yellow-gold version, then you will be ready to cough out $4,000 to $5,000.

That would make it more expensive than a 5k Retina IMac and the new Ipad Air 2. In fact, if the report is accurate, you could buy both of those instead of the gold Apple Watch and still pocket some money. Or you can use the same amount to buy the watch to purchase 10 of the lowest-end iPad Air 2 models.

Watch enthusiasts can spend this much on a gold timepiece.

Apple Watch may be one of the most expensive luxury items the company is offering.

Gele fashion stars gather to tackle dementia

S

ome leading designers of the traditional African head-tie (gele) gathered in London yesterday to raise awareness about dementia.

Gélé Tea, the couture fashion show and afternoon tea event highlights the traditional African head dress while raising awareness of dementia.

Organizers mobilised the support of the community in highlighting the disease, as well as create a memory box full of ideas to help black and minority ethnic (BME) people who are living with it.

Though the event is fashion-orientated and incorporates the tradition of partaking in afternoon tea, the emphasis is on educating people about the impact of the disease, highlighted by a special theme song written for the event called Memories, by singer Lanre.

Gélé Tea spokesperson, Edward Boateng said: “We held a roundtable discussion with the leading dementia organisations in 2011 to examine how to raise awareness among BME groups as there did not appear to be much information aimed at BMEs and African Caribbeans; so it is good to see how things are progressing though we would still like to see more representation.

“Gélé Tea is an event where the head-tie

takes centre stage along with other forms of headwear. It is putting gele on the map in a unique way. The point about Gélé Tea is that it is named in honour of somebody who appreciated the art form. By promoting gélé as couture we have drawn attention to the queen of head-ties and its cultural significance in Africa and the Diaspora.”

A range of new collections were launched at Gélé Tea 2014 by leading couture designers.

Design house, Kosibah unveiled its new range of African inspired wedding gowns.

Adebayo Jones and Lyze Hats also showed guests their latest work, and Clarisica Gill launched additions to the Gelina collection that went global.

New designer, ShollyJaay unveiled black and white wedding gowns made from Aso-Oke, the ceremonial fabric from Nigeria, while Lara Extravaganza demonstrated how to tie gele, as she recently did on BBC television.

Gélé Tea ended with the launch of the Gelestoire collection of the couture gélé, the first in the UK, with designs from leading stylists: Signachore, Lara Extravaganza and Juliet Onyeka.

The multicultural event was held at London’s Tower Grange Hotel.

Agbani Darego launches online shopping site

T

he former Miss World, Agbani Darego, has launched an e-commerce website known as www. adbyagbanidarego.com. The launch came one year after her fashion line, AD, came on board.

The new site is coming after the expansion of AD, a retail brand for accessories and other clothing items, with new pieces comprising of tops, dresses, sandals, handbags and sunglasses.

Darego is the brand’s director and founder.

Posing in a pair of chic sunglasses and denim hobo she said, “I am excited to introduce www.adbyagbanidarego.com. There has been a lot of interest from consumers in various states within the country and abroad. It is great to finally extend the AD experience to them. The site is easy to navigate. It has been designed to provide consumers with a pleasurable, reliable and secure shopping experience.”

ADD A BOW TIE Tunji Balogun

BY Pupwaya Timothy Dibal

A

bowtie has become a modern stylish accessory for men. It can give you that sophisticated look you want. It can become a conversation piece or the centre of attention, which will end up saying a lot about your personality and character.

The proper size should never be broader than the widest part of your neck, and should never extend beyond the tips of the shirt collar. Bowties come in different colours, sizes, styles and patterns.

Whether solid, patterned, striped or graphic, a man can wear it to any formal occasion and even on his wedding. It gives you a formal and elegant appearance.

So do you want to turn heads? Wear a bowtie and pair it with a matching shirt for a more dapper look.

IRREGULAR MENSES

I am 15 years old, and I started my menses in 2013. If I see it this month, I will not see it next month. Since June I have not seen it, I am not married, yet I have not seen it; please help me?

When menstruation starts, that is after menarche (first menses), it could be irregular in the teenage years. Therefore skipping one or two months is not unusual.

I presumed from your statement that there was no sexual exposure. If there was, do pregnancy test, if it is negative, then it is likely to be oligomenorrhea, which is common in teenage years.

I will suggest you inform your parents or guardians and see if they can take you to see a gynaecologist.

DOES DIABETES HAVE A CURE? I am 45 years old and have been on diabetic drugs for the last two years. Does it have cure? What should I do? Hassan Kontangora.

Diabetes does not have a cure, but it can be managed. In the earlier editions I had written about types of diabetes. You are likely to be having the adult onset diabetic mellitus.

What you need to do is to comply with your medication and diabetic diet. In case you are obese, reduce your weight.

Do not forget to check your blood sugar regularly. It is advisable for all diabetics to have glucometer at home for regular home blood sugar check. Glucometer is an instrument used to check blood sugar, and it is simple to use.

FORCED SPILLAGE ON HSG

What is the importance of forced spillage? I did HSG and the report says I have a forced spillage.

Amina, Lokoja.

HSG means Hysteron Salpin Gogram. It is a test done for cespillageis when there are adhesion or partial blockage of the fimrial end of the tubes, but due to pressure the dye still passed through the tubes. It may necessitate lap/dye to confirm the diagnocs.

SMALL GROWTH IN MY PRIVATE PART I am 19 years old. About three months ago I discovered that inside my private part there are little reddish dots, and when I burst it, it brings out blood, but it is not paining me. I don’t know what it means. They are many when I put my fingers inside. I want to know the cause and if it is an infection.

It will be difficult to say what it is until one sees it. A possible diagnosis is that of genital warts. If it is, then Podophyllin ointment will do. But it has to be administered with care so that it will not burn the adjacent structures. I will suggest you see a gynaecologist.

Please, always include name and address when sending your health enquiries to us. Thank you

KANNY WOOD

Our Indian experience will move Kannywood forward -AsFaika Ibrahim Rahi a female director, Faika Ibrahim Rahi’s name has been

associated with many success stories in the Kannywood movie industry. In this interview, she spoke about the challenges before a female director, as well as other issues in the industry.

BY Ibrahim Musa Giginyu

You are at the forefront in advocating the emancipation of the Hausa movie industry; do you believe the needed change has come?

It is indeed a plus to the industry and a step forward in giving the Hausa movie industry a formal recognition. It earned a more positive reputation. As practitioners we really appreciate the federal government’s intervention, and we urge them to do more in uplifting the movie making business.

As the first female Hausa movie director, do you believe that females are being given a fair opportunity to contribute in the movie business?

As a progressive individual, I believe that with time and hard work change will come gradually. Moreover, you will bear me witness that the industry has recorded some tremendous changes that are more daring in terms of shots and better stories.

Twenty Kannywood actors and filmmakers left Nigeria for India last September to participate in a film training programme at the Asian School of Media Studies in Noida, New Delhi, India. The training was sponsored

You are one of the beneficiaries of the federal government’s intervention in the movie making business; how would you describe the gesture?

This is something that involves a lot of stages, and it is formally done. It was not an issue of who-knows-who, but an issue of who has got the merit. Ask around and you will find out that the beneficiaries were not just handpicked.

Also, people tend to forget that Kano is practically the capital of the North. And the movie industry started from Kano, therefore, I see no fault in the caliber of the beneficiaries, which I believe was done based on merit, experience and whether one had applied for the training or not.

The movie industry is a multi-faceted sector. Some of its aspects are visible to an outsider while some are not. However, I have never been too far from the industry. As a trained professional, I operate a private media consulting firm. I am also into entrepreneurship. That does not mean I have left the industry. If a good script comes along I will direct.

You recently travelled to India; what was the experience like?

moving the industry forward. The expert I was talking about also advised us to make good use of Cinema in curbing the lingering menace of piracy.

It was also said that the intervention favoured movie practitioners that are based in Kano. Is that true?

You seem to have stayed away from the movie industry for some time now; what happened?

“We discussed issues on measures to tackle the issue of piracy, movie distribution and marketing.”

We were in India, not on an excursion, but to seek more knowledge on the art of movie making. In view of this, we had a series of meetings with Bollywood stakeholders, one of which is the biggest movie marketer and distributor, Mr. K. Jain. We discussed issues on measures to tackle the issue of piracy, movie distribution and marketing.

I can assure that the advice we got will no doubt assist us in

I have said this time without number. I am a very shy person, so I have chosen to deal with the practical aspect of creating things and making things. So for me, I rather remain at the background making things happen than to be in them. There are many women like me, and I am happy today that female directors are coming up. I want to state here that with what is obtainable on ground now their involvement will definitely give Hausa movie a face-lift.

Customs of the traditional Wodaabe Marriage

BY Fatima Hussain Yakasai

T

he Wodaabe, also known as Bororo (cattle Fulani), are mostly found in the subSaharan region and the Central African Republic. They speak the Fula language, which has no written form.

Two forms of marriage are practised by Wodaabe people. The first one is called Koobgal. In Koobgal, parents make marriage arrangements for their children at tender ages. This form of marriage is practised among people of the same bloodline.

The second form of marriage is known as Teegal.

This is considered more important since it is based on true love. This form of marriage allows future couples to make their choices; hence people are free to marry from other clans. A bride can also leave her first husband and wed another man. This is called “running away.” But the bride does not completely cut off her family ties with her first husband. In this way, Teegal encourages polygamy.

The Wodaabe people are prominent for their beauty.

They are widely known to have tall statures, sharp jaws, thin lips and light skin, among other features their females find attractive in their men. The men also prefer girls with beautiful statures and body features, as well as those with great intelligence and good character.

During courtship, males decorate themselves with facial paints, colourful beads, along with a courtship dance. Suitors apply yellow paint to their faces. This is said to highlight their charm. Applying black paints to the lips brings out the whiteness of their

teeth.

After the elaborate decorations, a seven-day courtship festival called Yaki is held. This is where the males find their female partners. During these seven days, suitors compete in a contest of dancing and flaunt their beauty. Men dance on their toes in order to appear taller, even as they roll their eyes. Grinning is also an attribute that females find attractive. The women do not participate in the dances; they stay on the sidelines and wait for the males that have taken interest to approach them.

The women are not allowed to make eye contacts with males unless when approached.

Men also partake in a sacred dance often held at midnight, which only involves natural beauty. In this dance, men who feel confident about their natural looks come to dance in front of those they are interested in. After the ceremony, the newlyweds return home while others go their different ways.

“The Wodaabe people are prominent for their beauty. They are widely known to have tall statures, sharp jaws, thin lips and light skin, among other features their females find attractive in their men.”

Just like any other person, high fibre in the diet is needed for a person with diabetes, from vegetables and whole cereals, to fruits you can eat. It is an erroneous impression that once a person is diabetic, he should not take fruits.

“If the person is sedentary, he or she must improve activity level-exercise. There are behaviours he/she has to jettison, such as eating fried food. Trans-fats are generated from frying. Trans-fats are implicated in the instances of diabetes,” she explained.

But there are two basic things a diabetic person must note. If you have diabetes, leave sugar alone and eat foods low in carbohydrate,” Abagai explained.

To get it right, you must consult a dietitian. The dietitian has the responsibility of assessing your condition, planning your diets appropriately and calculating your carbohydrate requirement and factoring it into your menu.

Diabetes is a condition where the body fails to utilise the ingested glucose/sugar properly. This could be due to lack of the hormone insulin or because the insulin available is not working effectively.

RECOMMENDED FOODS

Eat healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains, legumes (beans, peas) and low-fat foods.

Eat fibre-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole-wheat flour and acha.

Eat heart-healthy fish such as salmon, mackerel; and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which promote heart health by lowering blood fats called triglycerides.

FOODS TO AVOID

Avoid saturated fats, high-fat foods and animal proteins such as beef.

Trans-fats: These types of fats are found in processed snacks, baked foods, margarines, and should be avoided completely.

Cholesterol: Sources of cholesterol include high-fat products and high-fat animal proteins in beef and other foods.

Beauty Do’s & Don’ts

BY Aishatu Musa Shallangwa

M

ake-up, like most substances applied to beautify the skin, has to be washed off the face after serving its purpose. Every lady needs a skin care routine.

Washing the face once before going to bed is just not enough, a deep cleansing to exfoliate the skin is very important as left over makeup has dangerous side effects on the skin, which most times results into rashes, pimples, skin blemish and eczema.

Surprisingly, most ladies overlook these side effects of leftover makeup. To avoid this mistake and enjoy a flawless skin, here are two easy steps to cleaning your makeup and making your face fresh.

First, using skincare products, concentrate on removing the makeup along with all the dirt that stuck to your skin during the day. There are various cleansing products in the market. Such products can be used to remove makeup and grime. To keep the skin dry, apply the cleansing oil, gently massaging it into your face, then rinse with some room temperature water. The easiest way to remove your makeup is with a cleansing wipe.

Having removed your makeup, you need to wash your face again. If your face is already damp, apply your favourite cleanser. If you have a normal or dry skin, then use a milk cleanser. People with oily skin or acne-prone skin may want to use a cleanser with active ingredients such as salicylic acid. Rinse your face with room temperature, never hot water, and pat your face dry with a clean, cotton towel.

Now, your face will be smooth, soft and refreshed. Your skin is definitely ready for the next steps in your skincare routine. You can comfortably sleep and wake to continue your skincare routine, after which your facial cream, foundation and all your makeup should be applied for a great day.

“The easiest way to remove your makeup is with a cleansing wipe.

Having removed your makeup, you need to wash your face again.”
