Need that sharp cut? What if I told you this little tray was spreading disease, what would you say? And yes, ladies, this post concerns you, even if you don’t cut your hair, you have a partner, a child or family member who has a hair cut every once in a while.  Well, barbers everywhere are getting addicted to using powder for fades or carving but they need a certain level of hygiene or re-education to save people from diseases spread by micro blading cuts.  If you walk in to get your hair cut, most often you’re gonna get fades. Carving or fades is the crowning beauty of a haircut, those nice edges that give your look that razor sharp appearance. Powders are the highlights for most fades, often helping barbers see the accuracy of the cut, whilst leaving an appealing hairline that will most usually disappear after a hot towel wipe, a disinfectant face spray or a shower back home after seeing the barber. It’s an after cut illusion except for those who actually let it stay on on p...

Have you ever had a bloody genius idea, that you think “if you get the idea to market you’d make millions” as an entrepreneur? If you have innovators as friends or have had those moments as well, you might have probably heard how they taught of an idea and had been planning for it only to be hit with Facebook or Instagram ads about their dream project. Well don’t be sad, and yes, nobody stole your idea. Ideas are like rain, they fall from heaven (or the cosmos) just like rain falls on everyone. Some run away from the rain chanting 🎶 “rain rain go away come again another day” while others collect it in a bucket for re-use. Somewhere else there is a farmer who has planted 10-acres of seeds and seedlings and he has been praying for the rain. Another entrepreneur has built a reservoir almost the size of a small lake to store water for all seasons, so he can water his lawn, water a farm all year round, even has a fish pond and has five other ways he was able to monetize his collected wate...

Who is who? The world is a dynamic tapestry woven with the threads of constant change. This dynamism demands not just the acquisition of new knowledge, but also a critical re-evaluation of what we once considered absolute. In this ever-evolving landscape, two crucial elements emerge: Re-education, the conscious unlearning of outdated paradigms, and RE (renewable energy) education, the cornerstone of a sustainable future. Re-education: Unlocking the Doors of Progress Imagine a vast library filled with outdated textbooks, their once-revolutionary pages gathering dust as knowledge surges forward. Our minds, too, can become such libraries, harboring outdated notions that impede our progress. What was once the "only way" can become a cumbersome anchor, preventing us from navigating the uncharted waters of innovation. The call for re-education stems from the recognition that many of the skills and perspectives ingraine...

A Nigerian conundrum.  One thing I try to wrap my head around sometimes is why Nigeria and Nigerians in general lack the support from its government and truthfully the support to innovators within its clime. We’ve all seen young people from the hood make drones or planes or automated devices that got coverage from one tv channel of the other, some of them were recognised with sponsorships but after that what happened. What is the role of our Nigerian government really if you can’t take good ideas and make it into everyday hunger and poverty alleviation. If it can’t mandate itself to easing off hardship and increasing internally generated revenues from the minds and efforts of the citizens. We all know the struggle INNOSON has had, to be adapted into mainstream Nigerian private and public usage, up until recently INNOSON should have been one of the most available options for mobility in a country wanting to grow industries, factories and empowerment. This article is for the support ...
