Hi my name is April Basi and today I will be interviewing Igory Emeka Nnani. I’ve also known Emeka since our high school days in Naija. He’s such a good person with a good heart, and is so passionate about what he does. Infact he’s a better pikin and I really enjoyed having him do this interview, so I hope you guys have fun reading this. Ladies this one is for you, so sit tight, grab a cup of tea/coffee and enjoy.

Favorite childhood memory?

Hmm. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite but my most awkward; I got my butt whooped by the principal of my high school at the general assembly- in front of the whole school.

20+ facts about me

1. Tattoos are beautiful to me and I secretly plan on getting one, w/o telling my mother of course.

2. I love kind people with a big heart.

3. I have a weird sense of humor, I don’t laugh at a lot of jokes but when something makes me laugh it’s from my soul and I cant stop.

4. The first thing I notice and remember about a person is their head shape; therefore my love for head shapes is real. 

5. Buy me something gold, purple, white or red and we can be best friends. If you cant already tell those are my favorite colors.

6.I don’t necessarily have a favorite food. But if something doesn’t look good best believe I will not be eating it.

NIYOLA -TOH BAD

Today I want to talk about a young Naija DIVA,  Eniola Akinbo, popularly known as Niyola. The first lady of EME records. She came into the music industry around 2005 in her mid-20's. But I personally didn't know of her until I watched her 'toh bad' music video which is what I will be talking about today. So if you can't already tell I have been stalking her since I knew of her. I am so fascinated by her strength as a young African woman. Each time I watch an interview or new video of her, she is so fearless, passionate about her craft, hardworking, yet so humble; which are the qualities I love in a person. Now onto the 'toh bad' music video before I ramble on.

Before you read what I want to talk about, you might want to watch the toh bad music video and carefully listen to the message it portrays, so you can better follow what I have to say.

Episode 1 - Guchi

Hi my name is April Basi and today I will be interviewing Chiamaka Uzor.  I’ve known Guchi, since our high school days in Nigeria. She is one of the few people I know that knows and appreciates who she is and isn’t afraid to be herself, which is one of the main reasons I knew she would be a great fit to have the first interview on my blog.

So sit tight grab a cup of tea and enjoy.

What is your name? Chiamaka aka Guchi

How old are you? 21 years old

Where do you live? Currently, Providence, RI

What do you do for a living? I’m a student right now

Favorite childhood memory? About when I was 6 or 7 on Swissair, an air hostess randomly invited me and my brother to go up to the cockpit and meet the pilot, it was very exciting…. 

A DAY IN BROWN UNIVERSITY

Ihop sunday

This Sunday me and my friend went to to IHOP after a great sunday service partly because we were so hungry, but mainly because we hadn't been to IHOP in so long. It was so good I almost forgot how good it was. I had the Berries & Cream Belgian Waffle, while my friend had the Cinnamon Swirl Brioche French Toast ; of course with a good cup of coffee (they make the best coffee). It was so delicious. O btw stay tuned I will be featuring my friend on my blog soon, you guys would love her :) I hope you have a great week ahead.

Remember I told u guys I would be showing you some of the makeup products I literally can't live without well these are them. From left to right the better than sex mascara is a must have. This stuff literally makes your lashes look like they are falsies, and ladies we know how much we like it when people think our natural endowment was "bought". Well at least I do. The brushes are from my coastal scents brush set. The Marc Jacobs highliner I use on the inside of my eye for brightness, it works like magic. The lorac lip color I purchased from sephora and its a deep coral color. My only issue with it is that it is a bit drying. The the best of the best is the Kat Von D tattoo eyeliner. I love this one because it gives you that defined cat eye and it is very long lasting. Ndewo!
