DAIRY OF A KING (HRH KINGDAREAL)

  

Blazing the Trail In a unique style of what I can clearly call Afro-Urban Gospel Music, HRH KINGDAREAL is one of the fastest sweeping rap artiste the world has ever yarned for.
  Dareal who's full name is Achonwa Onyekachukwu Precious was born in the late 1980s into the family of Mr and Mrs Felix Achonwa... Hilariously known as The Citizen of the Creeks, This Star Hails from the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria.

  Growing Up as an only child, this multi-talented King Realised his strong interest for Urban Gospel Music. Listening to the likes of "Kirk Franklin", Bebe & Cece Winans", Hezekiah Walker and the Love fellowship Choir and a host of others, He became driven with such musical Inspiration and passion for good music, and was introduced to the likes of Lecrae, Andy Mineo and Da'T.R.U.T.H, which is presently recorgnised as one of his hiphop mentors and the whole of Crossmovement Records Artistes by a real friend name Toju "Choice" Edema, and that was how the Passion of Rap Music Shot him off into the Cloudnines of writing his own songs.
   

AFRICA FASHION WEEK AMSTERDAM

Last year, the 29th-31st of August saw a new type of fashion event in the Netherlands. This was home to the first ever Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam (AFWA), which consisted of an interactive celebration of fashion, culture, music and talent within the World Fashion Centre, Amsterdam. The event was hailed in the media as a great success, which saw thousands of visitors watch dozens of models glide down the runway in hundreds of African inspired or designed outfits to the delight and excitement of its audiences.

This year, with enhanced exposure and funding, AFWA is looking to break existing records as the brand continues to grow in popularity within the media and community as a bench mark for promoting causes, uniting talents and breaking barriers within the community. The event will take place for the second year from 27th to 30th August at an exclusive venue within Amsterdam.

´Many key figures from the Africa community have already confirmed their attendance such as award winning movie star Ramsey Nouah and several prominent business entrepreneurs. We are looking to break existing records and take the event to the next level, which is certainly developing´ Diana Tambe (Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AFWA) quoted.

5 FASHION ITEMS EVERY NIGERIAN LADY MUST HAVE

A lady’s wardrobe is an extension of her personality. Stocked with everything from essentials to frivolous knick knacks, it is equipped with everything that a lady needs for her armour. Kaymu’s Fashion Week showcases must-haves for the Nigerian woman’s closet.

Red Lipstick

A rich red or burgundy shade of lipstick is something that you are most likely to find in any lady’s hand bag. Whether it is a casual brunch or a date after work, red lipstick can work wonders and change your look from casual to classy. Be sure to take note of your skin tone when buying your lipstick though. Luckily, there are many shades of red to go around, so go for it!

Pastel Shirt

A pastel or white shirt is one of those evergreen classics which will never go out of style. This too can be versatile and can help you work the look in an office environment or even a casual night out. Most women prefer a blouse which is slightly fitted because something that is too loose could make you look boxy and that’s definitely something you do not want!

Trusty Heels

The term ‘killer heels’ are a cliche for a good reason. A pair of heels can absolutely transform any outfit that a lady may choose to wear. Whether it’s a business meeting or a night out in the town, nothing helps boost confidence like a pair of heels! The best heels strike a balance between balance and comfort and at the same time manage to add the extra oomph!

The woman who makes so much money because she looks like Kim Kardashian

Jo’Anne Patton, 32, has had so much success as a Kim Kardashian lookalike in Leeds that she estimates earning up to £36,000 over the course of the year for just six appearances per month.

 The lookalike, who currently works as a PA, said

Kim Kardashian has done really well for herself and has her fingers in a lot of pies [and] I am flattered that some people think I look like her.‘For some events, for example a teenager having a Sweet Sixteen or another birthday party, then people pay well into the hundreds for a Kim Kardashian appearance because she is their idol.

‘She’s very popular in that age group because she’s such a good role model’, Miss Patton added.
‘At the moment I have a full time job and do the Kim Kardashian stuff as a side hobby, but now because there’s the appetite out there for her, it’s something I’d really like to do full time and create a business out of it.’‘My first booking was a private birthday party and I was really nervous’, said Miss Patton. ‘I wore a tight cream and black body-con Lipsy dress, because Kim likes those dresses, and did my hair and make-up as best I could.

‘Luckily, the host and all her friends love Kim Kardashian so in the end it was great, as I just smiled and had my picture taken with everyone.’
