Making wedding dresses is the best decision I ever made — Mai Atafo




Ohimai Atafo popularly known as Mai Atafo is a Creative Director in one of the leading fashion brands in Nigeria. His sojourn into the fashion industry began in 2007 after the completion of his Masters Degree in Information System and Technology at City University, London. Mai once worked at the Marketing Department, British American Tobacco Nigeria and later as the Brand Manager at Guinness Nigeria before his debut into the fashion world. His brand Mai Atafo Inspired specialises in wedding dresses, suits. He spoke with Yinka Lawal about some of the fashion trends, his thought on the fashion industry and other issues

How would you describe Nigeria's fashion industry since you joined?

Fashion industry has been doing fine and actively as well. I will rate it on the scale of 90% compared to what we used to have before now.

Within a short period you have made a remarkable success in the fashion industry. What is the secret?
Not only me, but it depends on the response people give back to you. Anyway, I don't think I have achieved a lot compared to what I want to achieve. But all I've been able to achieve is due to the glory of God and people that have been supporting me as customers. They have made me who I am today.

 As a fashion Icon, what does it mean to be fashionable?
I think that is very subjective, because everybody is fashionable in their one right. So, there is no common ground to say this is fashionable or this is not fashionable.
 How would you evaluate the industry since the journey began?
Absolutely fantastic and I think we are making talents that can actually rule the world of fashion. But we just need support.

What is trending now?
Unfortunately, I do not follow trends, so I don't know what's happening for now. But in terms of how you should look, everybody has what they are comfortable with. That you always wear native attires doesn't mean you are not fashionable compared to someone that likes to wear suits. Former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan wears South-South attire, single colour all the time. Is he fashionable? I think he is. So, there is no right or wrong. Look at that man who wore buba and snickers. Is he fashionable? I think he is. Is he wrong, you may say yes! So, it's subjective.

I get advances from men everyday —Eleyele

BusolaOke, popularly known as Eleyele, became a household name after the release of her hit, ‘Eleyele’. The mother of two who has released several albums recently spoke with YINKA LAWAL about the entertainment industry, family, and sundry issues



What has been happening to you all this while?
I have been going in and out of the country. At a time I relocated permanently but I am back to Nigeria now.

A lot has been read about BusolaOke, but how soon do you think you can achieve the feat your Eleyele hit struck?
Everything in life depends on God and the individual’s ability and struggle. For me Busola, I am doing all I can to attain my dream place in this chosen career and to make my fans proud of me and with God all things are possible. I am working very hard to become even better than what is expected of me

What differentiates a gospel artist from an inspirational singer?
An inspirational singer sings reality songs and he or she sings from a natural source; something that will move you or remind you of something that is real, something that will touch your soul and also pass a message but, a gospel artiste is like a minister of God. His or her song might either be preaching the gospel or praising and appreciating God through songs

What does love mean to you?
Love in the real sense of it means a special gift from God because true love is not easy to come by and when, I see true love I really appreciate it because to me, who ever owns or has true love has it all

Saheed and Fathia

 Nollywood erstwhile partner,Saheed and Faithia Balogun,who have been estranged for a while are now are officially divorced. The divorce papers got leaked to the media a few days ago. After accusations and counter accusations of cheating and infidelity the celebrity couple went their separated ways.

We gathered the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Oluwafunmilayo Olajumoke Atilade, who presided over the case, granted the divorce and awarded Saidi Balogun unrestrained access to the couple’s kids.
 
Saheed and Funke
Recall, after their breakup,Saheed dated a London big girl who comes to Nigeria once in awhile and after a while a traditional marriage was said to have been conducted between the two families until the devil rear its ugly head.The relationship packed and Said moved on with another nollywood actress,Funke Adesiyan.But that too was for a matter of time,Funke stated she ran for her dear life when she could no longer bear the humiliation and battery she received whilst the relationship lasted.

Because of the kids involved and the relationship already built people believe the ersthwhile partner will settled their rift but presently the producer of Eti-Keta is married to  Funke Tayo Sofowora. Tayo Sofowora, the first cousin to the popular monarch. According to Funke who is an accountant, she has been dating Saidi for the past 4 years and has decided to keep their relationship private


Pregnant Beth model boss sends hubby packing




Beautiful CEO of Beth Model and Event Management guru, Elohor Aisien has thrown her husband, Owen Aisien out of their home.
According to the information at our disposal the estranged couple may have finally parted ways due to irreconcilable differences. The former Miss Nigeria UK who we gathered is pregnant threw out her hubby after she could no longer cope with his errant ways.
Though sources couldn’t fathom what the genesis of the rift was but gist merchants claimed it could be because Owen impregnated two other women at a time. His baby ’s mama said to be pregnant with their second child allegedly bore Owen’s first son. Owen was said to have paid her bride price without his wife knowing.


Another mistress is reportedly also pregnant with her first child for him .This means the allegedly raunchy man made three women pregnant in a row.

A source said, “Elohor made it easier for him to move out of the house by helping him pack his bags them at the door.They are not on talking terms right now and seems like Owen moved in with the side chick”
Recall, sometime ago, it was reported that Elohor had a rift with another Lagos big gal, Chalya Shagaya because of the same Owen. According to a source, the rancour ensued at the Grill-on-the tent, Kudeta, the upscale rooftop located inside Mega Plaza on Victoria Island during Christmas and New Year celebrations. They almost tore at each other’s clothes when they finally met again at Lolu shodeinde’s event, but for the timely intervention of people. Chalya was later escorted out of the venue. Chalya relocated abroad when she discovered Owen and Elohor relationship would be heading to the altar.
We gather the two don’t see eye to eye because of the way the affair between Owen and Chalya hit the rocks. It was revealed that the relationship between Chalya and Owen culminated the moment Owen sighted Elohor.
