Dangote - 64th in Forbes ranking

One of the reasons why LUMEN was setup, is to celebrate our own ... and how could we forget to blog about one of our own, whom the world is celebrating; and I mean it with every sense ot the word. It is Aliko Dangote - Africa's richest man.

Helping Hands

Ok ... so here I am trying to do some research on a Fashion Show I would be taking part some time in November (I will talk more about that later), I decided to reachout to google for help with the search words "Northern Nigerian Women". And voila, I saw an article that caught my attention... instead of the pictures I was in search for. The article is about the work of Fiona Lovatt Davis in Kano State.

To get more information about this lady, I did a search on her, and found this article:

LOVE - My view

Onisofe Promise Francis

Sitting on the couch this morning, I began taking stock of events of the recent past in my love life, wondering why things went the wrong direction, why love became hard to find. I've been into so many relationships and it took me many trials and errors to realize my undoing. The start point of my relationship wrongs was my mindset... "MEN ARE THE SAME".

Good news to Wedding planners in Kano

The Wedding Planning Industry in Kano is organizing a meetup

 

From the flier, there would be in attendance well-known names, and the event has the support of big brands. So we anticipate that the program would indeed be worthwhile for players in the wedding planning industry.

So what are you waiting for, save the date!

Comedy Concert

Yesterday, the city of Kano experienced entertainment in a new level. Though Team Lumen did not make it, we do trust that MC Jay did not disappoint, with the event he organized tagged - "Comedy Concert".


Sunday Meditations

If you want to feel NEEDED by people, start meeting their NEEDS.

Friends

Shoprite in Kano!!!

Model of Ado Bayero Mall

Ok, I know … I can’t believe that I am like one of the last people knowing about this; anyways, better late than never. So a friend of my living in Lagos gave me this information, and Google came in handy as usual, giving me more details. Shoprite in Kano!!! Although quite a distance from my normal route I am excited about the news of everything, and by this I mean Ado Bayero Mall. Hopefully I get to include the area in my route, thus bring you more information about this big city – Kano.

Praise Jam Kano

Yesterday evening was a blast. Attended Praise Jam at The Palace, Kano. I had so much fun; from the comedy, songs, dance, drama, to the presentation (Sisi of Wazobia FM Kano and Sammy were so on point).... it was out of the ordinary. I always knew Kano had talent, but have never before been in the same place where talent was so on display.

LUMEN's First

Yeah!!!

Finally putting pen on paper for the first post on LUMEN. Is it a coincidence that I moved back to Kano State yesterday? - after spending six months away (I visited in between sha). It did feel like home coming even though I spent almost twenty-four hours on the road! At a point, when I woke up from some time of sleep, I was expecting to see a sign with Kaduna on it, instead I saw Lokoja… I thought I was dreaming LOL. The good news is because we kept on, we did arrive in Kano.
