I never really get over Christmas.<br />
I enjoy December so much that it carries into January and I leave decorations up, Christmas ringtones on and cards out still till about February.<br />
<br />
Even then, I never fully let go. I listen to Mariah Carey's '<a href="https://youtu.be/BEJmP8T07JU" target="_blank">O Holy Night</a>' as often as I can and then just wait eagerly for the first smell of harmattan and that feeling Christmas comes with.<br />
<br />
What is your favourite Christmas carol?<br />

Okay na!<br />
Where better to shoot a video with a hook about the Holy Ghost Fire falling on 'them', than at a place Lagosians associate not just with a weekend out with friends, sand or swimming, but also with a certain garment.<br />
(You either get it or you don't).<br />

<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag" target="_blank">Hashtags</a> are an important part of living and dealing on social media. Whether as a way of joining or starting a conversation, they help your posts (and therefore, you) to be seen.<br />
<br />
Improper use of hashtags however can do more harm than good. For example, if you break one of the hashtag rules, you may find people skipping over your posts, and a platform like Instagram could even 'shadowban' you, making it hard for your posts to be discovered.<br />
<br />
What are some of these Hashtag sins?<br />
- Putting the 'hash' key in the wrong place. Always #OAP101 and not OAP101#<br />
- Using too many hashtags. While on Instagram, you can get away with up to 30 hashtags, on Twitter and Facebook, you want to do fewer tags; maybe 1 or 2, 3 maximum.<br />
- Putting them all over the place. While it is okay to sometimes hashtag a word in the middle of a sentence, it can make your captions look clumsy. Instead of a sentence like, 'This is the #OAP101 #blogpost for #today', write the sentence first, THEN place the hashtags below or after the caption.<br />
See an example <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BowHQ73hPoA/?taken-by=theoap101" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Now that we have covered some of the sins, what makes for a great use of a hashtag?<br />
<br />
1. Unique hashtags<br />
You need a unique hashtag for your brand, like how we have #OAP101. I also have #ShopTosyn and #TosynBucknorDaily.<br />
This one is simply for your brand and you can ask your followers to use it for posts they want you to see or repost<br />
<br />
2. Relevant hashtags<br />
Apart from using one or two unique hashtags (if on Instagram), you also need a hashtag that is relevant to the post you have up. In this instance for example, I definitely need to include '#Hashtag' and perhaps '#SocialMedia' in my post.<br />
<br />
3. Popular Hashtags<br />
Be careful with how you use popular hashtags because if you use them just to get your post discovered, it can actually be worse for you. If people feel you're using hashtags indiscriminately, they can ask for your post to be removed from that particular hashtag, and like I mentioned above, some platforms will penalise you for it.<br />
Popular hashtags vary from region to region so a quick Google search can show you top hashtags to use.<br />
<br />
Another tip is to place your hashtag correctly.<br />
For Facebook and Twitter, write your caption, then place 1 to 3 hashtags at the end of the caption.<br />
On Instagram, to make it neater, write your caption then leave some space before including your hashtags as shown above. You can also simply put your hashtags as a comment on your post.<br />
<br />
I hope these tips help.<br />

I woke up this morning ready to seize the day! It's been seized alright, by Instagram being down!<br />
First I thought I had run out of data only to see it was the same issue even via wi-fi.<br />
Instead of the app refreshing, you get the 'cannot refresh feed' message. If you try to log on via web, you get a page saying <span style="color: #281e1e; font-family: "independent serif light" , serif; font-size: 19px;">"5xx Server Error".</span><br />

I was on a panel moderated by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/princessuvbi/" target="_blank">Princess Uvbi</a> with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/moskedapages/" target="_blank">Sally Dadzie</a> and Laila Ijeoma, on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BoOPkQLljc3/?taken-by=tosynbucknor" target="_blank">'Blogging as a Tool for Social Change'</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from s.h.a.r.ing how and why I started, and giving tips on time management in response to a question from the audience, I was able to s.h.a..re my thoughts on how blogging can be used to positively influence society.<br />
<br />
I remember being taught, 'Instead of putting energy behind what you dislike, put your energy into creating what you do like'.<br />
<br />
It is what I have tried to do with radio and yes, definitely also with blogs and social media. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alternativemusicnaija/" target="_blank">'Alternative Music Naija'</a> for example, is something I created to showcase the kind of music I love. I do football as told by women via <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R5_KVjkR3w&list=PLIBYnewte-eXGLvwgwANqELJIGbyl9XzO" target="_blank">Pink Football</a>, run <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theoap101/" target="_blank">OAP 101 </a>for media personalities and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shoptosyn/" target="_blank">'ShopTosyn'</a> to s.h.a.r.e style inspiration.<br />
<br />
If you're reading this and you want to start something, remember that what you do can have an impact on one or more lives so go into it with passion, and purpose.<br />
<br />
It wasn't just panel business though. I finally met some people I have always admired, and also saw my favs like Olorisupergal and Demola Expoze.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wrote it because I had a crush on my friend's brother so I would call her, praying and hoping HE would pick up the phone not her. I was thinking about this and thought of how there are so many hidden motives behind seemingly simple things we do.<br />
Ever fully asked yourself why you're making a certain move? Altruistic or no?<br />
<br />
Why should we even bother with motives? Can't we just live?<br />
<br />
Amen to that because I could definitely turn that energy I use to analyse into something more fun but even if we forget about the motives of others, what about OUR motives?<br />
<br />
If you lie to people, that's bad, but if you lie to yourself, that is tragic. With a capital 'T'.<br />
Be honest with yourself about your motives and acknowledge your imperfections. This honesty helps you in several ways including<br />
- helping you know which battles are worth fighting<br />
- helping you work on a flaw you have<br />
<br />
And just like in my <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tosynbucknor/hidden-motives" target="_blank">song,</a> I will ask...<br />
<i>"...Who knows all the reasons we do the things we do</i><br />
<i>Who knows all the million hidden motives that we use"</i><br />
<br />

While what was on television was great, sundays meant I would have to go to school the next day.<br />
I hated school.<br />
<br />
When I started a job I loved however, Sundays came with a promise. I was usually rearing to go; like let us do this! 8 years later, still the same.<br />
I love Mondays. On Mondays, I can fly, I feel productive, I tick most of my to-do list FOR THE WEEK.<br />

<br />
<br />
Sadly, it starts to go downhill from there.<br />
<br />
Sometimes Tuesdays are so anticlimactic that I wish they would end just as they begun. My Tuesday shows can be below par in my estimation; like I gave my all on Monday and I am now just handing out scraps.<br />
<br />
It picks up on Wednesdays but yeah, by Friday, I am on another high- last day of the week, bring the weekend on type of high. Then I start it all over again on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Is it like this for you or you're pretty much the same all week?<br />

<br />
Today I would like to talk about something I have seen debated fiercely.<br />
Most radio trainings (and indeed, broad journalism trainings) insist that one be IMPARTIAL and NOT HAVE AN OPINION.<br />
For example, you read the news? Keep it neutral and just present the news. Don't react, and read news you agree with in much the same manner as you would news you disagree with.<br />
<br />
The truth is, after all is said and done, people still look to the 'experts' (in this case, news anchors, journalists et al) to be credible and unbiased.<br />
Having said that, radio and 'talk' has changed a little with more emphasis now being put on PERSONALITY of the hosts. For example, you have a Wendy Williams, an Ellen, a Steve Harvey... These 3 have clear and distinct personalities and never leave us in doubt as to where they stand.<br />
<br />
So what is the conclusion then?<br />
<br />
I think good radio depends on knowing who you are exactly on the show.<br />
As a news reader, or a moderator, you must stick to those guidelines of being fair and impartial. When it comes to radio or television hosts though, I do not know that people knowing where you stand on an issue is a problem AS LONG AS you can still be impartial or at least, fair.<br />
Let me give you an example with sports presenters.<br />
The best sports presenters have a team they support but still give professional analysis of games, stats and results.<br />
<br />
What do you think about this question?<br />
Should a Radio Host be completely neutral or can they have opinions and express them?<br />

In between all of that, I was working, thinking, and believe it or not, writing and completing short films.. in my head. </div>

I think it was Joe but let's just still call him Joe.<br />
<br />
I was watching my new addiction, 'LockUp', a series that takes a look at prisons in America. The tv crew will go to a prison and spend time there, finding stories about love, dealing with addiction, gangs, punishment and more, within the prison. If you can, catch an episode; it is on Fox Life and I watch it on Kwesé TV.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I watched an episode over the weekend where there was a prisoner named Joe. Joe had been in and out of prison for most of his life, starting from when he was 18. As at the time the show caught up with him, he was nearing his parole period. For some reason, he then began to act up. One of the guards said to the producers that it might be fear causing him to keep misbehaving.<br />
<br />
Does that sound weird? Fear of being out? You would think it would be more a case of joy and anticipation right?<br />
<br />
Apparently not.<br />
<br />
Finally, his release day came and Joe was so excited! He changed into non-prison clothes excitedly, ready to start afresh and definitely not come back.<br />
<br />
He came back.<br />
<br />
Infact, he ran away from the halfway house he had been placed in, and was found at a petrol-station near the prison. He will now serve the remainder of his term behind bars.<br />
<br />
We might be tempted to laugh at Joe but think about how like Joe we are sometimes in our own daily lives.<br />
<br />
1. How many times have we done or said things we shouldn't have out of fear? Sometimes instead of letting ourselves be vulnerable and express our fear, we cover it up with anger.<br />
What can we do? Do not deny things you feel; acknowledge the fear and then try to work on it.<br />
<br />
2. Joe had freedom but couldn't handle it; he had got so used to another life and went back to it.<br />
Sometimes we let routine become a prison for us and run back to it instead of facing the unknown and using our freedom wisely.<br />
Be careful about things and situations you hold on to simply because that is all you know. Try new things and see what may come from that.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great Monday!<br />

As you may already know, Weddings are a big hit in Nigeria. It really is a different ball game entirely- from the rich culture to the decor, make-up, <i>aso-ebi</i> and very importantly the MC.<br />
In my opinion, the MC at a wedding can make or mar that event, I mean, one wrong statement from them and everyone's upset.<br />
So in my curiousness, I thought to have a chat with one of them so we could have a sneak peek into their world. Today, we are crushing on the amiable Tosin Ibitoye AKA the wedding MC. Interestingly, many of his responses made me smile. I hope it puts a smile on yours as well.<br />
Enjoy ;)<br />

Hi Tosin,<br />
<b>1) You’re an actor and a wedding MC, has this always been a dream or it just happened? What's the story?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>TOSIN: </b>This has always been the dream. I don’t mean to act and MC weddings are my specific dreams but the dream has always been to entertain and put smiles on peoples faces, so anyway I can do this I am so up for it, even if it’s at the expense of my image.<br />
<b><br /></b>
There is a saying I believe I coined and live by and it’s ‘don’t take like too seriously…you won’t get out of it alive ‘ so anyway, anytime I am willing to make someone smile and help them forget their worries for a few seconds, minutes, days, months or years.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>2) What do you love most about hosting weddings ?</b><br />
<b>TOSIN: </b> What I love most about hosting weddings is the privilege to make a certain couple’s big day a memorable one. What gives me the most joy is when my client walks up to me and says ‘thank you very much, you made my day’.<br />
<br />
Because it’s not often that people get married twice so the fact that I was able to give these people a memorable first and only wedding that they would remember for the rest of their lives is great.<br />
<br />
Oh did I forget to mention that I love the credit alert part?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) What's one thing you wish more people would know about you?</b><br />
<b>TOSIN: </b> I wish people would know that I don’t really care what they think of me hehehe. I am kidding.<br />
<br />
It really isn’t anything, I just wish more people will know about me hehehe.<br />

-Make sure to have fun will working it brings out the best of you.<br />

<br />
Today is a great day to crush on a pretty woman. Don't you think? The first time I ever really noticed her was in a movie called 'Weekend getaway'. There was something about her acting and I kid you not,I kept rewinding to watch her scenes again; the way she played her character as if she actually wasn't playing it and how she eased into it. From then on, I've seen many of her works (Being Ms Elliot, Last flight to Abuja amongst others) and I continue to be impressed. I guess when you're really talented, it has no choice but to shine through.<br />
<br />
Our WCW is the beautiful actress, and director of Chime for Art foundation, Uru Eke. Enjoy ;)<br />

Hi Uru,</div>
<br />
1) <b> Was there any particular occurrence in your life that made you sure that acting was the right path for you?</b><br />
<b>URU:</b> I wouldn't say there was an actual occurrence, I've just loved assuming the role of someone else, stepping out of character to play a fictitious person is somewhat liberating.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2) You're the director of the 'Chime for Art' Foundation, why did was it important for you to begin this foundation?</b><br />
<b>URU:</b> The foundation was created to produce films that promote social change, this is my way of impacting our society.<br />

<b>Hi Eso!</b></div>
<br />
<b>1) You’re a TV Host and voice over artiste, what do you love most about the career path you’ve chosen?</b><br />
<br />
<b>ESO: </b> What I love most about the career path I've taken is the reach I'm afforded. As a TV presenter, musician, actor, voice over artist and all encompassing entertainer, I'm priviledged to have a platform that lets me showcase my talents, connect, and influence a boat load of people.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2) You are a host on renowned fashion and lifestyle channel, Spice TV, how did that come about?</b><br />
<br />
<b></b><b>ESO: </b> Lol. That came about with persistence! I was, (still am) just a young young man who came from Benin and got into Lagos with a dream of being a musician and TV personality. My job came about because of the belief someone at the top had in me. Not everyone gets that chance. I'm lucky....<br />

<br />
<b>3) Any plans of practicing law full time, sometime soon?</b><br />
<br />
<b>ESO: </b>I have a soft spot for the legal profession. I currently still dabble a bit in it (drafting documents, and what not) but ,for the time being, I'm fully immersed in the business of entertainment and media. The good part is, law degrees don't expire. I have plans to go back to 'lawyering' in some capacity in the future.<br />

Being a Fitness trainer, I've learnt what training teaches. It teaches us that there's a casual relationship between hard work and reward. Sometimes, you get lucky in life and experience rewards that you haven't earned, but this never happens in the Gym. You work hard, and good things happen there. You don't work hard and the good things fail to happen. You ONLY get what you work for. Nothing more, nothing less.</div>

Hey Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
<br />
Can I get a 'yaaaay' for our WCW today because I'm very pumped. She's a model, actress, TV Host and the head of operations at CBL Africa. You'll most likely have known her from the just concluded big brother Naija where she was one of our favourite housemates. *Drumroll please as we crush on the beautiful Antoinette Munirat Lecky popularly known as Anto. Enjoy ;)<br />

Hi Anto!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We all know the reception has been crazy since the Big Brother house, but if you had to choose one, what would be the biggest lesson you learnt from being in the HOUSE ?</b><br />
<b>ANTO:</b> Don't judge a book by it's cover. Someone may look like they have it all together, but might be going through a lot. Someone may come off as childish and unserious, but can be very focused and driven.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You’re quite passionate about sports, what’s something you’d like to change in the Nigerian sports scene? </b><br />
<b>ANTO:</b> I would love for Nigerians to know names of clubs and team players, the same way they can list all the clubs in Champions League. Nigerians need to be more supportive of home-grown talent and home-played sporting events.<br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>3) One mantra you live by is…..... </b><br />
<b>ANTO: </b>You are not for everyone and everyone is not for you. Don't try to please everyone.<br />
<br />
<b>4) What’s one thing you'd like to say to your '20 year old' and '50-year old' self respectively? </b><br />
<b>ANTO: </b>To my 20 year old self, I would say Forgive yourself for your own and other people's mistakes. To my 50 year old self, be happy because you lived your life the way you wanted, to more years of you.<br />

<b>5) You must have times when things aren’t going as well as you thought they would, how do you get yourself back up during those times? </b><br />
<b>ANTO: </b>Unfortunately, I actually dwell a lot when things don't go as planned, but I'm a firm believer in things happening for a reason, so I try to think about the positives in any situation and move on to bigger and better things.<br />
<br />
<b>6) Who’s your WCW today and why?</b><br />
<b>ANTO: </b>Genevieve Nnaji because she's WCW every Wednesday. She lives the life I'm trying to live. Nice and private, and when she lets us in, we feel so fortunate that she's sharing her life with us LOL<br />

<b>1) Why did you choose to be an actor and not something else? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>ADEOLU: </b>Just before I moved to school in the UK I went to go and see a performance of Les miserables expecting to hate it but instead loved it, when I started school I had to pick and extra subject, between drama and home economics, that experience watching Les miserables made me choose drama. I was young and at first I treated it like a class I got to play in but the more I did it the more I fell in love with it. It became something I wanted to do at any given opportunity. To tell stories, to see from different perspectives. I also fell in love with watching film and the way it inspired me to think differently and to do and be better since then I haven't looked back.</div>

<b>2) You have a series 'Shop Talk' where a group of young people come together to discuss relevant issues, how did that come about?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>ADEOLU: </b>Shop Talk came almost out of nowhere, it wasn't a goal or something I foresaw myself doing till it came to me. After a programme in my church called the manifestation is when it all began. It bothered me that there were next to no men in attendance. Yet we talk of men as leaders but men aren't seeking wisdom or things of faith. And so how can men be expected to lead with wisdom or have values they don't pursue. That birthed the idea of putting me in a place to speak openly and honestly about real issues they don't usually speak up about and feed in good strong values so they can begin to have positive impact.</div>

<b>3) You must have times when things aren’t going well for you, how do you get yourself back up during those times?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>ADEOLU: </b>I can't pretend to fully have the answer to that. It's one thing in your head to know that it is in the testing of your faith that endurance is produced and another to go through the process without sometimes rebelling. It's about being intentional and God is teaching me perspective. This life can't kill you when you know that life in Him is eternal. So no matter what it is, it will pass. It's also integrative found to surround yourself with people that will lift you up when you struggle to lift yourself up. </div>

<b>5) What three tips will you give to someone starting out in the entertainment industry? (acting especially)?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>ADEOLU: </b>- be diligent, don't slack cause others are slacking, be timely and be courteous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- remember the goal you set yourself and let that lead you in what you do and don't do. Selling out won't get you where you're going and getting to where you're going I'd more important than just going anywhere</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- rejection is part of the job and most of the times it's got nothing to do with you so don't take it personally.</div>

<b>6) What’s one thing you'd like to say to your '20 year old' and '50-year old' self respectively?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>ADEOLU: </b>To my 20 old self, concentrate on what you want in life, don't get too distracted and in the end it's not about you, everything in this life is bigger than you, look beyond yourself .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
50 old self, again it's not all about you. Whether the future looks like you imagined or hoped, it's not about you it's about what you put in others. So I hope you thought of others in the road more than yourself. </div>

<b>7) What’s on your mind this Monday?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A nation of talkers! We talk, we pray, we lament but we don't listen. We don't listen to others, we don't listen to God. We don't listen to crying hearts and we don't listen to direction, we are inactive! Faith without works is dead, and we are the walking dead, what will stir us up to act if not the mass casualties these past weeks? If not the senselessness of it all. We can and should hold our leaders more accountable but I'm more concerned about holding ourselves more accountable. We who are not in governance, we who are not in political office far outnumber those who are. Our voices would be louder if we speak up and our footprints will sink deeper if we stand up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“I don't know what to do about our economy, crime, corruption, terrorism, education, lawlessness and lack of infrastructure all I know is that first you've gotta get up or off your seats, stick your head up and yell, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Your influence is always wider than you think it is, don't wait for someone with more power to do something, just start, God will always meet you at the point of your faith. Faith is not what you do when you know confirmed end, it's what you do when you don't. Do something for Nigeria today! All our small rumblings will add up to an earthquake; Cause the ground beneath you to shake because something has gotta give!</div>

Hmmn...So much food for thoughts, but that's it guys!<br />

What's up this Wednesday?<br />
<br />
I saw her first in Biodun Stephen's film -Sobi's Mystic,then I saw her in another movie called 'Tough love'. It seemed as though with every movie that rolled out with her face in it, falling in love with her became easier.<br />
You <i>can't not</i> notice her in any movie she's in, so I thought to ask her a few questions to help you get to know her better. Our woman crush today is the beautiful, uber-talented and fast rising actress, Bolaji Ogunmola. Enjoy ;)<br />

Hi Bolaji!<br />
<br />
<b>1) Why exactly did you choose to be an actor and not something else? (Details please) </b><br />
<b>BOLAJI: </b>Why did I decide to become an actor? Hmmm. You know growing up you watch movies and you are completely into the film and you forget your issues, house chores you were meant to do or even the fact that you haven’t eaten because of how great the movie is.... that’s the power of film, it entertains, it gives hope,it reassures,it empowers!!! I just knew I wanted to be part of something that phenomenal and to be honest I didn’t even know I was good at it until my drama teacher in church encouraged me to give it a try. I was sold the moment I did my first church play.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>2) If you had the chance to be the lead role in any classic (local or international) which movie?</b><br />
<b>BOLAJI: </b> I think it would be Titanic... lol. I love love....<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) What has been the proudest moment you’ve ever had since the beginning of your career?</b><br />
<b>BOLAJI: </b>Getting one long ass email from someone about how one of my movies helped her through some stuff!!! I was literally crying!!! That was definitely worth more than an Oscar award, I tell you.<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>4) You must have times when things aren’t going as well as you thought they would, how do you get yourself back up during those times?</b><br />
<b>BOLAJI: </b> Hmmm. See ehn, I PRAY!!! I won’t even lie, there were days I thought I wasn’t good enough or I should just find another occupation but I knew deep down, I was meant to be doing what I am doing. Thank God for friends also that encourage you.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>5) What three tips will you give to those starting out in the entertainment industry (acting specifically) ?</b><br />
<b>BOLAJI: </b> Develop your craft, Don’t be discouraged by No’s, I still get no’s sometimes, If you can’t think of doing anything else apart from acting, then you are one of us. Believe in yourself.<br />

Today we are crushing on a young, talented and of course very handsome man. He's an actor, event host and a Fashion Model. He rose to limelight after playing the role of Soji in Tinsel. He has since then gone further to do greater things in the Nigerian Entertainment scene. Enjoy my short chat with him ;)<br />

Hi Gbenro!<br />
<b>1) Why exactly did you choose to be an actor and not something else? (Details please) </b><br />
<b>GBENRO: </b>I would say acting chose me because I never saw myself as an actor. Modeling was my thing and I was doing it professionally for a few years before Tinsel(which was my first) came knocking .The audition info came to me as a TV commercial for Mnet from my agent back then.(Wildhoney models)<br />

Issa wednesday!!! I know i'm not supposed to be excited considering the disaster that befell us Nigerians last night lol. But as they say, life goes on. Our boys did the best they could.<br />
<br />
Moving on, a friend of mine did something amazing recently and I can't understand why I didn't share her story on here earlier. She launched her fashion line but ... there's a BUT, the line produces beautiful ready-to-wear Ankara sleeves. As ladies, sometimes, we want to wear some dresses but we change our minds because they are sleeveless and may not fit the occasion.<br />
Well, our WCW, Debrah waters has helped us solve this problem with the introduction of her fashion brand, 'Debrah Waters.' Enjoy ;)<br />
<br />

<b>Hi Debrah!</b>
<b>1) You are a presenter and a fashion entrepreneur, what do you love most about the career path you’ve chosen for yourself?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DEBRAH: </b>I love that I’m living my dream. I’ve always known that I wanted to be a TV Presenter and a Fashion entrepreneur which is why I ensured that I followed these dreams in the strive towards carving a career path for myself. I am passionate about entertainment as well as fashion and I believe strongly in making your passion your career so that when challenges come by, your passion is enough to keep you happy and hopeful. So yes, apart from the glitz and glam…I love that I am doing the things that make me happy!<br />

<b>2) You recently launched your fashion line which makes fashionable Ankara sleeves, how did you get that fabulous idea?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DEBRAH: </b>Debrah Waters, the fashion brand, is a unique brand which was setup to create African fashion solutions and also to redefine and commercialize high fashion in Africa.<br />
<br />
The idea of the ready-to-wear Ankara sleeves came to me earlier in the year when I was getting ready for a presentation. I was supposed to wear a pretty sleeveless dress but I honestly thought the dress would be prettier if it had sleeves. “What if we had fashionable and removable sleeves that you could rock with anything sleeveless from camisoles, tubes and possibly dresses?” And better still, “what if they were made from Ankara fabrics?” It was just a seed, a thought that needed to be tested. This gave birth to the Debrah Waters Super Stylish Sleeves.<br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) How did you get the confidence to launch, did you have any fears?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DEBRAH: </b>I think the confidence to launch my fashion brand “fell on me” when I didn’t win a beauty pageant sometime in 2017. I was particularly pained because of the amount of money I spent in getting ready for the contest. At that point, I had to decide if I was willing to continue to waste my hard earned money on chance or if I wanted to build something for myself that I would be proud of many years to come. I chose the latter.<br />

And yes I had fears. Many. Like how do I get the capital to start up? What if people don’t like my designs? How soon will I begin to get a return on investment or will there ever be returns? Etc. But just like many other scenarios in my life, fear had never been an excuse. I have failed many times, been told “No” a couple times…but that never stopped me from trying.<br />

<b><br /></b><b>4) What’s your favourite talk show?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DEBRAH: </b>Hmmmn…this is a hard one though! I have many favorites but I think the one that stands out for me is “Your View” on TVC. I simply love the way the women dissect political issues and profer personal solutions to them. I hope to create a show like that for girls sometime soon.<br />

<br />
<b>DEBRAH: </b>To Debrah at 20,<br />
<br />
This is the best time for you to focus on yourself and explore. It’s okay to wanna be so many things at this stage- It’s just a phase. You would feel confused and not good enough but don’t stop there! Keep enjoying your journey to self discovery. And don’t forget to have some FUN baby coz’ YOLO!<br />
<br />
To Debrah at 50,<br />
<br />
I know you are the hottest mama ever liveth but hey, don’t be too hard on the younger ones…I also know you don’t want them to make the same mistakes you made and its okay to feel that way. Guide them while letting them experience life. Experience they say is the best teacher. And hey, keep being the hottest!<br />

If you are interested in things like branding and positioning as a media person, a S.W.O.T analysis at its' most basic will be beneficial for you.<br />
What does it stand for?<br />
<br />
S- Strengths<br />
W- Weaknesses<br />
O- Opportunities<br />
T- Threats.<br />
<br />
Simply put, take a look at your SWOT and then use that to plan your next few steps brand and position wise.<br />
Your strengths are the things you do best AND that make you unique. For example. one of your strengths can be that you can talk about any subject on earth! Trust me, not everyone can do this. Another strength can be that you like something others like you do not like. Take me for example, I think I am one of the few women On-Air Personalities in Lagos who not only love but follow and analyse football games. Trust me, it has been an advantage for me.<br />

<br />
Your weaknesses are those things that you obviously don't do well, or don't do better. Opportunities speak for themselves. These are the jobs, brands, and other avenues open to you as a media host to grow and include things like reading the news, hosting a show, speaking at a conference, interviewing guests on the red carpet and more. List them.<br />
<br />
Last but not the least, taking a look at the space you're in, list your threats; these are competitors and factors that may prevent you from getting certain jobs. For example, I mentioned that I like football more than most. There are some who DO like football as well though and may be a threat when it comes to football based opportunities.<br />
<br />
Once you have done this, and please note that this is not something you do once and forget about but rather, something you may need to go back to from time to time to update, you can then see clearly how to BUILD on your strengths, WORK AROUND your weaknesses, LOOK for your opportunities and POSITION yourself ABOVE your threats.<br />
