LIVE from 'Hip-Hop Classics Nite' at Base Lounge

One of my craziest childhood fantasies was of me as the HOTTEST & BADDEST Female D.J. ever!!!

Yesterday, I decided to give it a shot!!

I had a little shindig at the cosy Base Lounge, Siverbird Galleria, V.I. We tagged it 'HIP-HOP CLASSICS NITE' and it was the isssshhhhhh!!!

The evening was spent enjoying quality and timeless Hip-hop music from the Best of the Best...Notorious, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Nas, Talib Kweli, Common, Public Enemy, Outkast, LL Cool J and the likes!!

It was all about true Music Appreciation, with the Compilation selected by Yours truly...we ALL had a Blast!!

LIVE from The Creative Careers Fair

The Creative Careers Fair, a first EVER of it's kind in Nigeria, held on the 15th & 16th of July, at the new City Hall in Onikan, Lagos.



The venue was PACKED on both days, which is not surprising as volumes of young Nigerians want Careers in different Creative fields.

The Fair afforded them the opportunity to receive knowledge, opportunities and also allowed them network with established Professionals in their fields.



Nkiru Asika, Initiator of the Fair

The TARIERE team was there, and we have brought live images from the Event. Note that I have played a little with ALL the images..just introducing you to my new passion, which you'll be seeing a lot of from now (hahahahaha)...

The Event had some very notable Speakers...

STORM Superstar, Naeto Chikwe, gave some Participants the opportunity to be his Personal Assistant!! A FANTASTIC opportunity for any aspiring Artiste to learn the ropes of the Business..


Naeto C

..But they first had to convince him, by making a Pitch as to WHY he should hire them...







After listening to tons of passionate and some hilarious pitches, Naeto C finally had to make the tough decision...


'KINI BIG DEAL??!!'

He chose this fresh graduate and aspiring Artiste, who was soooo overjoyed, he almost lifted Naeto off the ground...



So meet the New Man who's gonna be knowing ALL of Naeto C's 'P'...
