The Fashion Trend for Equality

Hi there,

My name is Omonye Akhigbe and I’m a woman like you, A Nigerian woman to be exact.

Happy International Women’s Day!

I am very excited about this day and my excitement increased when I checked the International Women’s Day website and saw a pledge from my CEO and many others I admire. I am excited there’s a buzz about this day today, as is every year.

As I meditated on what this day means to me I realised something; it’s important what we say as women, but it is almost equally as important what we wear.

I’m a woman and whether I chose to admit it or not, from generations before I was born, I have always been judged by what I wear. Fashion fads go and come, but over the years, women have worn predominantly two outfits, hope and then faith.

The Laws of Inefficiency – The Anatomy of a Decaying Nation

I’ve have been away for a bit and while I was away, I was busy making keen observations in order to bring something very important to your notice.

Is it just me? Or have you yet taken time to note the ‘Laws of Inefficiency’?

I have observed people in situations of gross inefficiency and lack of responsibility (case study: Nigerian civil society) and noted the unwritten rules behind, beside and beneath the attitude of every unpatriotic and apathetic Nigerian. These are not theories or hypotheses, they are laws. Tested and proven, they are the Laws of Convenience.
