 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

FASHION DESIGNER ''TOYIN LAWANI'',COVERS TODAY SUNDAY ALLURE VANGUARD MAGAZINE.{PHOTOS}.

-
  lawani                                                              Toyin Lawani was on the cover of Allure Vanguard today sunday 21 August,2016 edition.She is a stylist,fashion designer,beautician and hair stylist,who has diversified into so many different fields and excelling in all.The owner of Tiannah's Place Empire,who found success before age 30,is a hard worker and a hustler.Unlike some entrepreneurs and successful business people,she doesn't give off an air of entitlement,but rather one of gratitude for all that she has accomplished.For Toyin,life could only mean one thing; ''Keep pushing until you hit your goal''.The mother of two,who is also the face of Nigeria' Bext Top Designer,tells her journey into business world,her success tricks,family and more,according to the magazine.Three questions of her interview caught my attention and the first one is ;
1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR VARIOUS BUSINESSES?: ''I run 20 businesses under Tiannah's Place Empire.They all work hand in hand and complement each other.For example,when I'm on set for a music video or a movie,we used to employ a hair stylist.make-up artist.production crew etc.But now,we have our own in house make-up artist,hairstylist and production crew.All i do now is pick my team members from each department and we pull our skills together.Now,I make money from the whole production because I have everything in-house.Even Tiannah Styling Fashion Academy students are privileged to learn anything they wish at the empire.I tell them that a stylist that can fix and blow-dry hair or do make-up is a dresser not a stylist; which os different from being a designer.Before any shoot or event,we start from our client's skin,just to ensure it's glowing on their big day; which we attain with our natural products via Tiannah's Glow products.A stylist must know how to illustrate,make-up design,make hair;she must know about skin''.
2. WHAT DOES STYLE MEAN TO YOU?: ''Style is a way of saying who you are without saying a word.A lot of people mistake fashion for style.They are different.You might wear a bin bag and not get it right and I might wear a bin bag and syle it properly to make a fashion statement.It's not about what you are wearing; it's about who is wearing it.I am really happy to see that I set trends and people follow.I started the pyjamas trend years ago and now the distressed  jeans style is evolving and has an attitude''.
3. AMONGST ALL YOUR BUSINESSES,WHICH DO YOU LOVE THE MOST?: To be honest,I can't choose one business all my various businesses were passions I developed into business ventures.Every skill I possess,I turned it into a business.
