LENS ON TALENT
THE LADY WITH THE MAGIC FINGERS
UNVEILING THE BRAND
Igene Isimeme Mary ,CEO sIssymeme.
An Estate Surveyor and Valuer by profession from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
I've always had the passion for fashion designing, as far back as my secondary school days, I used to and still sketch designs on any jotter I could lay my fingers on.
I'm petite and this posed a little difficulty in getting my dress sizes. I remember my friends teasing me when we go out shopping to check the children's section for my size. This challenge kind of inspired me more to acquire the skill and start designing and tailoring clothes for myself then my sisters and my friends.
In the last few years, I've made some brides look fabulous, made lots of bridesmaids very hott, made a lot of friends at school beautiful to their class dinners and the list goes on and on.
A friend asked me once if I've clothed any "superstar" and I said not yet but I'm so sure I've made all of my clients dazzle more than stars.
Presently, I'm just a young talented designer, aspiring to get better.
ON STARTING SMALL
Like most young entrepreneurs, I started very very small, in fact with zero income. All I did was enroll for training during one of OAU's countless strikes and step by step, all the pieces started to fall together.
Thank God for supportive parents too, they sensed my passion and got me all I needed to start off the training and it's all been the grace of God and my little efforts since then.
I'll say the best way to advertise your brand is to wear them and get the right people to wear them. I started with a few of my popular friends in the hostel and that did the trick.
CHALLENGES
I'm never afraid of challenges, in fact, I love challenges, cos it simply makes me work harder.
ROLEMODELS
Folake Coker of "Tiffany Amber" and "Folake Folarin"
Deola Sagoe

GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
*All you need to get to your 'there' is in you, only you can stop you.
*If someone else can do it, I can.
*Step by step, little by little, I will get there.
I also acquired a few training in Make-Over, Neck Piece, Hair Piece and Catering....all these help to enhance the creativity and delivery of my work.

MOVIE REVIEW-THE GHETTO DREAMS
GHETTO DREAM
MOVIE REVIEW
“Mo ni dream lati fi Ajah se residence
mo ni dream lati di Nigerian President
owo ti awon president nje lon encourage mi
epe ti awon eniyan se fun won lon discourage mi
mo ni dream lati di pastor
but everyone ni mo n mu shepe, mo de n fa polli,
mo ni dream lati believe bi pastor Chris
but mo wa carried away pelu efizzy ludacris”
He did not do music for the award show judges, or upper class kids in Ikoyi, When Dagrin rapped, he did it for the streets. He did it for the street urchins in Mushin, he did it for the elderly lady setting “boli” in Ajegunle, he did it for the young hustler living in the ghetto, dreaming of a great life in the future. Dagrin inspired the down trodden, they were his salesmen settling his lifestyle, he was their CEO (Chief executive omita).The start was rough for Dagrin, just like every artiste.
He hustled and was rejected severally for his different brand of hiphop. His persistence paid off, the shows started coming, everyone wanted a piece of him on their album, mixtapes, and video shoots. Then suddenly, death came knocking. His life and times was like a rose that grew from concrete but trampled by death.
THE GHETTO DREAM
It wasn’t a bad idea when the Stingomania crew decided to do a biopic on Dagrin’s life and times. His journey to fame, his hustle, dreams for the future, his love life, family life, rejections on the path to success, and his eventual death. With appearance from Nollywood’s veteran actors Pa Kasumu, Rachael Oniga, and the relatively young and talented Gabriel Afolayan, including a role from the fast rising Oyindamola Odesola, and a celebrity appearance from Kenny Saint Brown and Jaywon. The movie was directed by Daniel Ademinokan.
THEMATIC THRUST
The thematic thrust of the movie can be viewed from four perspectives. Dreams, struggles, success and death. Dagrin dreamt and aspired to become a superstar which he almost attained. Just like the lines in one of his songs:
“Aimoye Igba ti awon eyan ti ni kin lo give up
won ni mo local, pe ona mi onse hip-hop
But mo wa determined, mo de wa focused
Tori eni oruko mi se spread bi staphylococcus”
His rise to the top was full of struggles. He had to do odd jobs, hustling the way an area boy would. All this he always reflected in his lyrics. Painfully his struggling days wasn’t well represented in the movie. Too much attention was being paid on his venture into “yahoo yahoo” at the expense of other periods of his life when he roamed the street, and become violent as a boy. These highpoints of his life were sadly missing in the movie. There were times in his life when he did free shows, when he had many coloured t-shirts and only one red boot to match. The producers of the movie where in a hurry to tell the story, that the movie just transmuted form Dagrin’s struggling moments, to his stardom days without the viewers of the movie being taken through the process of his success. He just started living the life, driving his own car without a detailed description of how these things happened for him.
CHARACTER
Doris Simeon who played the role of Chichi, Dagrin’s girlfriend was obviously too old for the role. The director should have used someone that is of the same age bracket with the Dagrin we knew. This choice affected the plausibility of the movie. At that point in Dagrin’s life, his girlfriend could not been more than 18-23. Doris didn’t look that young and was not made up to. Trybson, the guy who played the role of Dagrin found it difficult holding, kissing, and caressing , the actress. There was a serious disconnect between Trybson and Doris. Oyindamola Odesola the lady who acted as Dagrin’s sister might well serve as a perfect person to play the role . Rachael Oniga deserves a thumbs up for excellently depicting the role of Dagrin’s mother in the movie.
PLAUSIBILITY
For a man who used music to escape a lot of trouble, one would have expected to see in Ghetto Dreams, Dagrin hitting stages as much as he was hitting studios. Why was any of his performances not shown? Why was he already using a Blackberry bold 2 (as seen in the movie) far back in his “Yahoo yahoo” days, when that phone was only released last year. The lazy portrayal of his accident which should have been an highpoint in the movie, for me has scored the movie low. His tragic death was generously covered by the media in Nigeria. But the lazy infantile method the producers adopted goes to devalue the role the media played in the coverage of Dagrin’s death. Why was YQ (a close friend) not featured in the film? DJ Zeez too
was missing in action.
LANGUAGE
The language-medium of communication in the movie was not really focused on. At a point, the cast were conversing in English Language, at another instances, pidgin English, then suddenly, you hear Yoruba in other scenes . A lot of street slangs were employed in the movie, which made the ghetto scenes a bit believable.There was a lot of background noise during the movieshoot, which affected the audio clarity of the movie.
For a biopic movie, one would have expected the producers to work on their research and really dig out the nitty gritty of Dagrin’s lives, the movie is only rich in sound and music, but bereft of rich dialogue and content.
For those who scarcely knew Dagrin or his music, the movie will give you an insight into the man, his music and his mysterious death, beyond its plethora of blunders. And you will almost shed a tear for the rising star that never was.

RIGHT OF THE AFRICAN YOUTH BY WALE ODUNSI
RIGHT OF THE AFRICAN YOUTH
It is a truism that youths are the future of tomorrow; this fact has overtime remained undisputed. From generation to generation, the youth have proven to be an efficient tool and an integral part of any (serious) nation. The physical and intellectual dexterity they possess cannot be overlooked. To buttress this, analysts say that the productivity of a nation depends largely on its youth. However, here in Africa, it has been a case of mixed tales; the luckless destiny of the youth seems fait accompli. While counterparts in the developed world can stand tall and boast of world-class facilities in the areas of -but not limited to- education, healthcare, sports, arts, information technology, we curiously lag behind. As if not enough, our leaders have shown little political will to turn around the abysmal fortune. If you are reading this piece and hold a dissimilar view concerning the youths of Africa as aforementioned, it is either you have been in coma, lived all your life in the Diaspora or purely naive.
It was Napoleon Bonaparte who said “a leader is a dealer in hope”. This obviously cannot be said about leaders in this part of the world as most are not fit even as retailers of hope. Their common myopia, rascality and sit-tight syndrome are some of the scary idiosyncrasies which have brought us all to this level of little cognizance by the larger world. Not many will argue that ‘third world countries’ as we are often regarded live in anguish and in some cases abject poverty in the midst of abundance. It is trite that sizable erstwhile regimes in Africa failed in the implementation of youth development-oriented programmes that would have freed us off these ostensible shackles we find ourselves. While it appears graft, lack of zeal, bigotry and disdain hampered successive governments from vigorously carrying out quality ideas, others simply had no clear-cut vision for their respective countries.
Remarkably, the enduring aspirations of the African youth have always been to face up to their adverse circumstances instead of waiting for a miracle to change the situation. Of course they are aware that the needed solutions will not just drop from high heavens on their laps without their own initiative. But the question is: Do they have the right and enabling environment? Indeed it is a shame that decades after gaining independence from colonial masters, the continent at this time and age is battling with common things like infrastructural development. Till today, upon human, material and natural blessings, many countries continually record unappealing gross domestic product statistic; uncertainty pervades good standard of living; battle against malaria and other killer-diseases had not yet been won despite massive grants/aids from donor countries and agencies; inflation rate soar at will; access to equity, fairness and justice still a daydream; alarming index of unemployment; concept of self-dependence gradually erasing; evident dismal performance of undergraduates/graduates. Er, need say more? It is pathetic that all pointers give cause for worry. Alas! We have governments in place.
The predicament is a helpless but not a hopeless situation. Our leaders can redeem their image (if they cared) by displaying more purposefulness and determination in the discharge of affairs of governance. The first step that should be considered is the immediate convocation of an African Union convention with special and unflinching attention to the youth. A Charter must be put in place where the rights of the African Youth must be distinctly spelt out. A follow up to this should be that all member-countries as a matter of urgency include content of the charter in their constitutions while individuals with impressive tracks and impeccable character should be appointed to manage ministries overseeing issues that affects youths.
Also, the recommendation by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that 26 percent of countries’ annual budget be devoted to education must henceforth be implemented without further delay. Ideally, such a declaration ought to be obeyed in view of the fact that it seeks to improve quality formal education. It is not only mind-boggling but sad that majority of the continent’s governments have disregarded the directive with apparent contempt and flagrant impunity despite being signatories. This is not unexpected since their wards get the best education in western countries to the chagrin of the citizenry and detriment of their nations at large.
Lastly, the cankerworm that has eating too deep into the fabric of our society, corruption, is worth and must be included in the list of crimes against humanity by the United Nations. Already a pressure group in Nigeria CEASE CORRUPTION (CC) has initiated the move. It is imperative to send a stern signal to people of crooked tactic that they cannot eat their cake and have it. The world-body will do the youth an eternal good by seeing that this clarion call sees light of the day. The time to halt the lawlessness and executive brigandage of the elite and ruling class is now.
It is believed that more effort will be put into area of youth development lest the supposed bright future become austere. To be a force to reckon with, it will take more than the usual earth-shaking prayers and ample good luck wishes to better the lot and fortune of African young adults. What is expected of our leaders is a conscious but genuine resolute to confront the present challenges headlong. The youth on the other hand must ensure Bertrand Russell’s philosophy that “extreme hopes should be the response to extreme misery”. Perhaps if we get our acts right, who says the countries of the continent, cannot be in the league world powers in the near future.

from the classroom to the boardroom
FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE BOARDROOM
The classroom can be defined as a room in a school environment where learning takes place. While a boardroom is a room set aside for use by the board of directors of a company or business. Moving from the traditional classroom to the boardroom is no mean feat, as it requires a rebirth in our mindset, a paradigm shift, and a victor’s mentality. Its no longer news that the average Nigerian graduate as been tagged :”Unemployable”, because irrespective of the years they’ve spent in the classroom, they lack the requisite skills necessary for victory in the battlefield called the boardroom. The movement from the classroom to the boardroom without a re-orientation about the real world board room experience is just like pouring new wine into old wine skin. It will burst and the content will become a waste. This is the same way our graduates are bursting in life, running the rat race. Even if they win the rat race, they will still be rats not eagles.
Education is nothing if it fails to teach the beliefs and skills which prepares you to live successfully within your lifetime. A question we must always ask ourselves is: How as my education helped me live life to the fullest? If you walk into a classroom today, I doubt if you will find much enthusiasm and excitement , too often you find boredom and fear. Students are driven not by the excitement of learning , but by the fear of being wrong. On the other hand, if you walk into a boardroom, you will find great minds soaring together on the same wave length , rubbing minds and creating solutions that will better people’s lives. A myth that is eating deep into the fabric of our society is that if you do well in school , you will do well in life. But we all know that believe is outdated and obsolete. Doing well academically, is not a guarantee for success in the real world.I,ve met individuals who were brilliant students in the classroom, but are no where to be found in the boardroom. Such people have concluded that the classroom knowledge is enough to win in the boardroom.
Everyday, graduates experience the contradiction between what they are taught in school and what they see in the real world .Let’s quickly examine some of these contradictions.
1.In the classroom your lecturer is responsible for imparting knowledge to you, in the boardroom you take responsibility for your learning. Majority of our graduates only depend on what the lecturers has taught them, but to be ahead of the pack in this information age, you need to consciously drink from the well of personal development. Personal development is beyond what you are being taught in school, its about applying yourself to life, books and resources that will jumpstart you into success. Most graduates think learning ends the day they write their final exams.Continious and never ending improvement must be your watchword for unlimited success in the boardroom.
2.In the classroom, you might not necessarily have passion for your course of study, but in the boardroom passion is the music of the song you must sing. Often times, a chord is stuck in me when I see people jostle for jobs that are not in harmony with their natural giftedness. A large percentage of the Nigerian students will be quick to tell you the fact that they were not admitted for the course they initially wanted to study. So all they engage in throughout their stay in school is to read, cram, pass, and forget. It is not advisable to take this habit into the boardroom. There is no point killing yourself over a career or job that doesn’t excite nor does it makes you motivated and fulfilled. In the boardroom, it’s the love affair you have with your career that takes you far in life.
3.In the classroom you are asked questions that you provide answers to, in the boardroom, the answers(solutions)you provide to questions(problems)determines your relevance. We all know that you are paid in proportion to the problems you solve. Its pertinent to have a problem solving habit which will make you a sought after person in the boardroom. You need to initiate a problem solving campaign , if you must be on top of your game in the boardroom. Your relevance in the board room is tied to the vaccum your absence creates, your impact in the boardroom is a function of the value your presence creates. Be a problem solver.
4.In the classroom, your course mates are your competitors, in the boardroom you are your own competition. Yes! it is good to conquer your course mates in the classroom by reading hard and graduating with good grades .But in the boardroom, you need to constantly break your own records, conquer yourself and resolve not to be complacent.Complacency leads to stagnancy.
Tiger woods, the world class golf player once said: “The most important thing is furthering yourself and making yourself a better person.”Remember he who stops being better stops being good.
5.In the classroom majority of the lecturers embrace the old techniques of lecturing and imparting knowledge, in the boardroom innovation is the name of the game. In the classroom, its a common sight to see lecturers using the lecture notes they’ve been using since their appointment into the university. The only difference is that the lecture notes is now looking tattered and crying for help. It is rather unfortunate that graduates take this thought pattern into the boardroom without updating their skills and honing their craft. The boardroom is governed by enterprising individuals who have refused to dance to the beat of conformity and mediocrity.
Dear reader, Nigeria needs you to stand up and raise the standards of our education. You too can move from the classroom to the boardroom, if only you apply the thoughts I have shared with you.I will read your success story. Go and rule your world!

So all they engage in throughout their stay in school is to read, cram, pass, and forget. It is not advisable to take this habit into the boardroom. There is no point killing yourself over a career or job that doesn’t excite nor does it makes you motivated and fulfilled. In the boardroom, it’s the love affair you have with your career that takes you far in life.
3.In the classroom you are asked questions that you provide answers to, in the boardroom, the answers(solutions)you provide to questions(problems)determines your relevance. We all know that you are paid in proportion to the problems you solve. Its pertinent to have a problem solving habit which will make you a sought after person in the boardroom. You need to initiate a problem solving campaign , if you must be on top of your game in the boardroom. Your relevance in the board room is tied to the vaccum your absence creates, your impact in the boardroom is a function of the value your presence creates. Be a problem solver.
4.In the classroom, your course mates are your competitors, in the boardroom you are your own competition. Yes! it is good to conquer your course mates in the classroom by reading hard and graduating with good grades .But in the boardroom, you need to constantly break your own records, conquer yourself and resolve not to be complacent.Complacency leads to stagnancy.
Tiger woods, the world class golf player once said: “The most important thing is furthering yourself and making yourself a better person.”Remember he who stops being better stops being good.
5.In the classroom majority of the lecturers embrace the old techniques of lecturing and imparting knowledge, in the boardroom innovation is the name of the game. In the classroom, its a common sight to see lecturers using the lecture notes they’ve been using since their appointment into the university. The only difference is that the lecture notes is now looking tattered and crying for help. It is rather unfortunate that graduates take this thought pattern into the boardroom without updating their skills and honing their craft. The boardroom is governed by enterprising individuals who have refused to dance to the beat of conformity and mediocrity.
Dear reader, Nigeria needs you to stand up and raise the standards of our education. You too can move from the classroom to the boardroom, if only you apply the thoughts I have shared with you.I will read your success story. Go and rule your world!
The classroom can be defined as a room in a school environment where learning takes place. While a boardroom is a room set aside for use by the board of directors of a company or business. Moving from the traditional classroom to the boardroom is no mean feat, as it requires a rebirth in our mindset, a paradigm shift, and a victor’s mentality. Its no longer news that the average Nigerian graduate as been tagged :”Unemployable”, because irrespective of the years they’ve spent in the classroom, they lack the requisite skills necessary for victory in the battlefield called the boardroom. The movement from the classroom to the boardroom without a re-orientation about the real world board room experience is just like pouring new wine into old wine skin. It will burst and the content will become a waste. This is the same way our graduates are bursting in life, running the rat race. Even if they win the rat race, they will still be rats not eagles.
Education is nothing if it fails to teach the beliefs and skills which prepares you to live successfully within your lifetime. A question we must always ask ourselves is: How as my education helped me live life to the fullest? If you walk into a classroom today, I doubt if you will find much enthusiasm and excitement , too often you find boredom and fear. Students are driven not by the excitement of learning , but by the fear of being wrong. On the other hand, if you walk into a boardroom, you will find great minds soaring together on the same wave length , rubbing minds and creating solutions that will better people’s lives. A myth that is eating deep into the fabric of our society is that if you do well in school , you will do well in life. But we all know that believe is outdated and obsolete. Doing well academically, is not a guarantee for success in the real world.I,ve met individuals who were brilliant students in the classroom, but are no where to be found in the boardroom. Such people have concluded that the classroom knowledge is enough to win in the boardroom.
Everyday, graduates experience the contradiction between what they are taught in school and what they see in the real world .Let’s quickly examine some of these contradictions.
1.In the classroom your lecturer is responsible for imparting knowledge to you, in the boardroom you take responsibility for your learning. Majority of our graduates only depend on what the lecturers has taught them, but to be ahead of the pack in this information age, you need to consciously drink from the well of personal development. Personal development is beyond what you are being taught in school, its about applying yourself to life, books and resources that will jumpstart you into success. Most graduates think learning ends the day they write their final exams.Continious and never ending improvement must be your watchword for unlimited success in the boardroom.
2.In the classroom, you might not necessarily have passion for your course of study, but in the boardroom passion is the music of the song you must sing. Often times, a chord is stuck in me when I see people jostle for jobs that are not in harmony with their natural giftedness.

5 TOP TIPS FOR BECOMING A SUPERSTAR IN YOUR PROFESSION)
(What Nollywoood taught me)
What makes a good Nollywood movie?Exactly the same elements that makes one sought after in any chosen craft.Imagine you have the capacity to produce your own movie, that will become a blockbuster…..where will you get the best hands to execute this dream……Nollywood!
Even though you probably don’t have the resources to hire the Nollywood pros ,from the Tunde kelanis to the Tade ogidans ,and the Genevieves including the Ramsey nouahs,the good news is that you can still use the Nollywood basic techniques to become a sought after star in your profession.
1.Start with a captivating title
You are reading this article because the article captures your attention.It sparked your desire about knowing what it takes to become a superstar in your craft.The title is the most important part of a movie, so is the headline the most important part of a newspaper or magazine. So how does this relate to your profession? What you choose to call yourself counts far more than what anybody calls you. Its a crowded market, choose to stand out and be outstanding.Gbenga Adeyinka calls himself Comedian of the federal republic(CFR), M.I calls himself Mister incredible.Create a captivating name that can sell your brand , the same way a captivating title sells a movie
2.Collaborate
Collaboration is mandatory in Nollywood and it can work for ‘Talentpreneurs’ and professionals.Greed often gets in the way of commonsense.Sometimes celebs in the music industry are featured in movies, while same applies to the movie industry too.You see an Omotola collaborating with a Ruggedman.It is better to collaborate and pick the brains of other pros in your industry.We are no longer in the age of competition, we are in the age of collaboration.Never underestimate the wisdom in the next person.I once collaborated with a colleague of mine to organize a seminar which both increased our cash flow.
3.Use scene changes
Nearly in every movie, the lead character gets into a challenge and runs into another.The movie literally moves from point to point maintaining interest by changing settings, focal points, and energy level. The biggest enemy of a ‘Talantpreneur is sameness. You have to adapt to prosper. I once appeared on a television for a political talkshow in order to share my views on the happenings in the nation’s political terrain. This also gave me the opportunity to share my expertise with the viewers. In this age and time, you’ve got to be able to adapt to change with the speed of light.
4.Provide a message
All great works of art have a message including movies. Explosions and car crashes are exciting but at the end the viewers will be left with a big so what? Beyond the blings and the glamorous packagng, what do you stand for?What message are you preaching through the platform your profession provides you.There is a message embedded in the beat of the music,there is a message in the wonderful portrait you just created, there is a message in the beautiful video concept you just got. You need to dig it out and amplify it.
5.Dress the part
So many people seem to forget a costume can either make or break a character in a movie. Same way a poor personal image can be detrimental to your brand. In the words of Eldee tha don:’You are a brand and a product, people place value on you by the way you present yourself ‘It is imperative to look like your solution because packaging enhances value.
I hope these few tips will help you become sought after in your profession.I will read your success story.
