• Lagos, Nigeria – October 30, 2025: Terra Academy for the Arts (TAFTA) has successfully concluded its Women Entrepreneurs Development Programme (WEDP), a three-day hybrid bootcamp designed to equip female entrepreneurs with the practical knowledge, tools, and confidence to grow and scale their creative businesses.

    The programme, held virtually over two days and in-person at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos, brought together TAFTA-trained women entrepreneurs from across Nigeria for an immersive learning experience centred on business growth, structure, and sustainability.

    Over the course of the sessions, facilitators shared practical insights on transitioning from informal hustle to structured enterprise, financial management, mentorship and accountability, defining target audiences, and building credibility. Participants also learned how to identify market gaps and design innovative solutions that address real business needs. A key highlight of the programme was the elevator pitch session, where participants practised delivering concise and compelling introductions of their businesses, an essential skill for winning clients and investors.

    The in-person session featured a dynamic panel discussion with distinguished industry leaders, including Mr Bayo Babatunde, Managing Director, Vistaris Advisory Hub Ltd; Faith Desmond, Business Growth Consultant, LeanX Support; Funto Ibuoye, CEO, Five28; and Uloma Nkemakolam, CEO, Pure Delight Edibles. The session, moderated by Chinedu Isagbah, Programs Manager at TAFTA, provided participants with valuable perspectives on how to balance creativity with structure and long-term business planning.

    The event also featured a special appearance by Mrs Bolanle Austen-Peters, Founder of Terra Kulture, who delivered an inspiring address to the participants, urging them to embrace consistency, innovation, and resilience as essential qualities for growth in today’s creative economy.

    “Success in business is never by accident; it’s a mix of courage, consistency, and connection. To build something truly impactful, you must be willing to take risks, stay consistent through the grind, and keep innovating. Own your story, believe in your dream, and surround yourself with people, because at the heart of every thriving business are the people who believe in and support it”, said  Mrs Bolanle Austen-Peters in her keynote address to the participants.

    In his welcome address, Joseph Umoibom, TAFTA Academy Lead, said: “The Women Entrepreneurs Development Programme is more than just an event — it’s a gathering of bold, visionary women ready to transform their talents into purpose-driven enterprises that will impact lives and society. Everything we need to become great already lies within us; programmes like this simply give us the courage and clarity to act on it.” 

    As the programme concluded, participants expressed renewed motivation to apply the lessons learned in scaling their businesses, formalising operations, and building networks of accountability. The WEDP provided not just technical training but also a community of support, enabling female entrepreneurs to share experiences, gain clarity, and discover new possibilities for growth.

    The Women Entrepreneurs Development Programme reflects TAFTA’s broader mission to empower Nigeria’s creative sector through continuous learning, mentorship, and access to transformative opportunities. By investing in women, TAFTA continues to strengthen the creative economy — fostering a new generation of structured, confident, and impact-driven entrepreneurs ready to lead with purpose.

    Jumia’s community-based sales program in promoting digital inclusion and entrepreneurship at the
    grassroots level.

    According to the report, rural areas now account for nearly half of all packages delivered on the
    Jumia platform, underscoring the growing appetite for online shopping outside urban centers.
    Categories such as Phones, Beauty & Perfumes, Home Essentials, Men’s Clothing, and Men’s Shoes

  • From Lagos to the world, Felabration 2025 was more than just a tribute to the legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. It was a week-long celebration of originality, sound, and Nigerian pride. Held in the buzzing heart of the city, the festival brought together music lovers, creatives, and culture champions in honour of Afrobeat’s pioneer.

    Right at the centre of it all was Orijin, boldly repping its My Roots, My Power mantra. Whether through taste, dance, or connection, Orijin elevated the experience.

    Here’s how the brand turned up the flavour at Felabration 2025.

    A Lounge Where Culture Met Flavour

    At the Orijinal Lounge, festival goers were treated to complimentary Orijin cocktails made with locally inspired herbs and fruits. The bittersweet blend paired perfectly with the highlife, afrobeat, and energy in the air, creating a fusion of flavour and culture that had people coming back for refills.

    Tradition at the Centre Stage

    Orijin brought the rhythm to the mix of cultural performances and contemporary dance crews. From Yoruba bata drummers to freestyle dance-offs in front of the Orijin stage, the energy was raw and infectious.

    There was even a surprise masquerade crew appearance that had the crowd shaking in the best way. Each performance wasn’t just entertainment; it was storytelling through sound and movement.

    Everyone Wanted a Picture

    If you didn’t take a picture at the Orijin stand, did you even attend Felabration?


    Decked out in vivid green, the Orijin space wasn’t just a chill zone. It quickly became the go-to stop for festival fashionistas and anyone who wanted that perfect shot.

    Where Every Moment Was a Vibe

    It wasn’t just about sipping and dancing. The Orijin stand buzzed with energy from trivia challenges to branded merch giveaways. They made sure no one left empty-handed.

    A Celebration with Meaning

    Beyond the fun, Orijin used its platform to honour Fela’s legacy. Spoken word artists and young creatives shared powerful performances about what it means to be Nigerian, to be original, and to stay rooted in culture. It was deep, moving, and unforgettable, the kind of moment that reminded everyone why Felabration exists.

    One Brand, Infinite Vibes

    From flavour to fashion, Orijin brought the deeply rooted energy that Felabration has stood for since day one. At Felabration 2025, it wasn’t just a brand; it was an orijinal celebration of Nigerian culture.

  • At the GHS Media Roundtable hosted by Global Health Strategies (GHS) in partnership with That Good Media, experts, advocates, and media professionals gathered to discuss the theme “Centering Care: Unlocking Women’s Economic Power in Nigeria.” The conversation spotlighted the urgent need to recognise, value, and structure the care economy as a cornerstone for national productivity and women’s empowerment, ahead of the International Day of Care on October 29.

    Opening the session, Adeola Alli, a multi-licensed pharmacist and founder of One Health, a digital pharmacy improving last-mile access to medicines across Nigeria and Africa, shed light on the economic and social realities of unstructured care work. She noted that about 70% of care work in Nigeria — including raising children, caring for the sick, and supporting the elderly — goes unpaid, with the majority done by women. According to her, this imbalance represents both a disservice to women and a missed opportunity for the national economy.

    “The global care economy could add 11 trillion dollars annually to the GDP if properly valued. Imagine what that could mean for Nigeria if we recognise caregiving as real work,” she said. Alli called for an economy “where care is capital and every act of healing becomes a driver of wealth.”

    Building on this, Amara Agbim, the visionary founder of The Nanny Academy, emphasised the importance of professionalising care work in Nigeria and improving the working conditions of care workers. “Paid care work is essential but suffers from systemic undervaluation. Care workers today are often undocumented, underpaid, and subjected to excessive hours without contracts, social protection, or rest,” she said.

    Agbim advocated for formal training and certification structures that would prepare care workers to enter the workforce with dignity and fair compensation — an initiative already being implemented through The Nanny Academy.

    Taking the discussion further from a legal perspective, Crystal Ikanih-Musa, an international lawyer and global policy expert, noted that Nigeria currently lacks a national policy guiding the care industry.
    “Without comprehensive, evidence-based laws that legitimise care jobs, the needs of women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities will remain invisible,” she said. She called for the establishment of a national care policy that defines conditions, compensation, and rights for caregivers.

    Speaking from a workplace perspective, Ivie Temitayo-Ibitoye, a Senior Human Resources Professional, addressed the realities of balancing paid work with unpaid care. “Care is work in itself and should be treated as such. It’s not a privilege people use to escape responsibilities — it’s a performance enabler, not a distraction,” she said.

    Ivie also urged organisations to create systems that help women thrive at home and at work, while removing the stigma around employing professional caregivers. “We need to design structures that enable women to succeed in both spaces; their private homes and workplaces,” she added.

    Concluding the roundtable, Toyosi Etim-Effiong, founder and CEO of That Good Media, who was the moderator of the media parley, charged the press to leverage storytelling to drive change. “The media has a huge role to play in shifting the narrative,” she noted. “The stories we tell shape society. If we keep raising awareness about the need to recognise and invest in the care industry, the policymakers and the decision makers will have no choice but to listen.”

  • Every year, the Ofala Festival transforms Onitsha into the cultural capital of vibes. But this year, Orijin decided to pull up and make things a little more… premium. Here’s how the brand added its signature touch to one of the most iconic cultural festivals in Nigeria:

    1. They showed up at the heart of tradition.

    Ofala Festival isn’t just any event, it’s a celebration of Igbo royalty, heritage and community. Orijin planted itself right in the middle of all that energy as the official drink sponsor, giving the festival an extra layer of originality.

    2. Their branding was unmissable.

    From the entrance to the festival grounds, Orijin made its presence felt. Their set-up didn’t just blend in, it stood out. Think bold branding, cultural touches and the perfect blend of modern and traditional vibes.

    3. They brought the vibes (and the drinks).

    What’s a celebration without a toast? Orijin cocktails flowed freely, and guests enjoyed every sip while taking in the royal procession and cultural displays. The vibe was premium enjoyment meets tradition.

    4. They amplified the culture, not overshadowed it.

    Orijin didn’t just show up to sell drinks, they leaned into the cultural significance of the festival, showing respect for tradition while elevating the experience. A classy move.

    5. They reminded everyone why originality matters.

    By supporting Ofala Festival, Orijin proved once again that celebrating culture isn’t just about showing up, it’s about creating meaningful moments that connect with the community.

    Orijin x Ofala Festival 2025 wasn’t just a sponsorship; it was a statement. Culture, community and originality, all in one celebration.

  • A quiet revolution is happening in Nigeria’s creative space, one that floats, shines, and speaks the language of joy. This season, the nation welcomes HIETEX, the country’s first premium balloon brand, born out of a vision to bring world-class quality to African celebrations.

    For years, decorators, stylists, and event planners across Nigeria have had to choose between unreliable imports and overpriced global brands. HIETEX changes that story, boldly and beautifully. The brand introduces a line of premium-quality balloons that combine strength, vibrancy, and style, built to meet global standards yet rooted in Nigerian creativity.

    Founded by Rebecca Alabeni, a leading event designer and creative entrepreneur, HIETEX was inspired by a simple but powerful question- why should world-class celebration products always come from elsewhere?

    “HIETEX was born from experience,” she says. “As a decorator, I knew the frustration of working with balloons that faded or burst too easily. I wanted to create something that represented us, our energy, our excellence, and our boldness. HIETEX is proof that we can curate quality here at home.”

    This amazing brand is born of colour, it is built from culture and it is made for the world. Every part of HIETEX tells a story of cultural pride and creative courage. From its vibrant colour palette to its beautiful aesthetic, the brand celebrates the spirit of joy, expressive, confident, and deeply rooted in community.

    Each balloon is designed to deliver consistent colour, durability, and visual impact, qualities that decorators and event stylists value most. Beyond being just another product, HIETEX represents a shift: the birth of a Made-for-Nigeria brand that truly understands how we celebrate.

    Beyond Balloons- A Movement Called “Blow Bold”

    At the heart of HIETEX lies its signature brand message: “Blow Bold.”
    It’s more than a slogan- it’s a call to dreamers, creators, and celebrators everywhere to express themselves without limits.

    Whether it’s a wedding in Lagos, a birthday in Abuja, or a naming ceremony in Enugu, or a brand launch in Accra, HIETEX invites everyone to celebrate in full colour, to make every moment bigger, brighter, and bolder.

    Through community-focused initiatives like the HIETEX Creator Circle, the brand is also building a network of decorators, stylists, and small business owners who shape the celebration industry. It’s not just about selling balloons, it’s about elevating the ecosystem of celebration itself.

    “We want every decorator and every celebrant to feel proud to say, ‘This was made here,’” says Rebecca Alabeni. “Because HIETEX isn’t just a product- it’s a statement of possibility.”

    A New Chapter for Made-for-Nigeria Excellence

    A new chapter for Made-for-Nigeria Excellence has arrived. HIETEX’s arrival signals something much bigger than balloons- it marks a new era for local manufacturing, one where creativity meets craftsmanship, and where Made for Nigeria stands proudly beside Made for the World.

    With its debut collection of premium latex and foil balloons, HIETEX has positioned itself as more than an affordable luxury balloon brand – it’s a story of innovation, ownership, and colour, crafted by Nigerians for the world to see. 

    About HIETEX

    HIETEX is Nigeria’s first premium balloon brand, designed to elevate the celebration industry with quality, creativity, and colour that meet international standards.

    Founded by the creative visionary behind Itura Events & Party Shop, HIETEX was created to close the gap between substandard imports and overpriced global brands, offering decorators, stylists, and celebrants a truly homegrown alternative they can trust.

    The brand embodies an amazing design philosophy, inspired by the vibrancy of Nigerian culture and the boldness of modern expression. Each balloon is carefully crafted for lasting quality, consistent colour, and flawless texture, built to withstand heat, humidity, and the high-energy environments of events.

    Beyond its products, HIETEX is a movement championing creativity, entrepreneurship, and cultural pride. Through its initiatives, the brand aims to empower local decorators, collaborate with event professionals, and celebrate the beauty of Nigerian craftsmanship on the global stage.

    Born of Colour, built from Culture, made for the World.
