NIGERIA: From a Street Hawker To a Beauty Model... True Story!
Recently, TYBello, a Nigerian recording artist and photographer, was having a photo-shoot with an American music star called Tinnie Tempah.
She had chosen to pitch her set on the streets of Lagos so as, according to her Instagram post, to showcase the beauty of her Lagos rather than be confined in some hole. While on the shoot, a bread seller from Sabo market strayed into the shot. Upon realizing what damage she could have done, this bread hawker became confused, perhaps a little scared, especially with boos and jeers from people who asked her to quickly get out of the set.
Alas, TYBello, the photographer, signaled her to walk back into the set and asked for her photograph to be taken and she obliged. TY had seen, through her lens, diamond though very much in the rough at this time.
When I saw the pics on TYBello's Instagram page, I was pleasantly surprised to know the bread seller concept was not pre-scripted. Kudos to TYBello for her ingenious shots. The effect of these photos was so overwhelming that the scout for this 'Waka Pass' model began. Finally, she was found.
She is Olajumoke, 27year old mother of two: a boy of 5 and a 2year old daughter. She can't write or speak a word of English, she communicates in Yoruba. Though she's not literate, today, she shares the coveted ThisDay Style Cover with the likes of Dangote, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, A'List Socialites and Celebrities, the Creme de la Creme of society, From a most indigent background, Olajumoke left Osun State where she was a hair dresser, to come to Lagos in search of the Golden Fleece, hawking bread 7times a week with a profit of 200 naira daily.
Even with two children, she didn't fold her hands and beg for hand-outs, she hawked her way into her destiny. She was the Golden Fleece that TYBello was going to search for. In no time, with a make-over, the gold in her is brought to fore and shone in her pictures that have gone viral on the internet.
TYBello has proved with this story that we can create positive movement for one another without waiting for government (government should play their role though). It's obvious that most of the people who walk around the streets have gold in them, they are all waiting on a gold digger to dig it up. Nobody is ever useless, no matter the condition you find yourself,no condition is permanent, as long as you are not lazy.
This is the moral of Olajumoke's story. People pray to God to meet them at the point of their needs but they need to know that God is waiting to meet them at the point where they are making use of that which is in their hands. Hard work and tenacity will always win "it" for you. Opportunities are all around us everyday but we seize them (or not) by time and chance.

Khloe Kardashian: Ratings Fall For New Khloe Kardashian Talk Show
Kendall, Snoop & Khloe
The ratings for “Kocktails with Khloe” — the latest mishmash of a television show foisted upon viewers by the Kardashian clan — has lost nearly half its audience so far.About 238,000 viewers tuned in for the latest edition of the bizzaro Khloe Kardashian-hosted talk show, according to Nielsen.That’s a fraction of the whopping 496,000 who tuned in for the show’s Jan. 20 premiere on the FYI network.And while the network was crowing about the achievement, citing it as a record-shattering audience for the fledgling network, the truth is that number was actually calculated by combining the audience for many different airings of the same episode.
Do you think KhloMoney’s show will get renewed for a new season or nah??
