love story of Peter Okoye & Lola Omotayo.
Genevieve magazine December edition featured Peter and Lola Okoye on the cover and their amazing story! Reading this will help you understand better why Peter places Lola above all....It's pure love from Lola
"After we had scaled the hurdle and became friends, I kept preventing her from coming to my house because everyone called her boss.From her wristwatch and everything, I would be like."CHEI! This person no be my level"
One day, I took ill and I guess she tried to reach me but I wasn't picking up. She then called brother who told her I was ill. To my horror she then came over to my house. To be honest with you, I was so ashamed that after she left, I wanted to know who invited her to my house"That person don buy my trouble".
I remember living in a small room which my brother and I shared.Our bed was a mattress on the floor. The wardrobe had clothes overflowing to the floor and the room was littered with unwashed plates and half drunk pure water nylons. I was lying down as a broken fan did its best to circulate the air and she walked in and said hello.I felt as if I was dreaming. The picture of five boys sharing a two-room apartment was definitely an eye sore. I didn't know where to look when she came in.She just tip-toed to where I was and looked at the environment then called her driver and asked him to come into the compound.
"She picked two shirts and asked me where I kept my underwear.I didn't want her to go there so I told her they were washed and drying outside .She helped me get into her car and took me to her house. I remember sleeping in her arms as we drove through thick traffic. Although I wasn't really ill by this time, I pretended to be very ill especially as I saw the layout of pounded yam and Egusi with goat meat,
Food over, she gave me some medication and I stayed at her place for three days and kept pretending to be ill because I din't know how to go back to my house.
Infact it was the first time in my life I was sleeping in a room with an airconditioner"

Beyonce ft international African writer chimamanda Adichie in her new song, "flawless".
.Beyonce features Chimamanda Adichie in her new song, “Flawless” »
Beyonce gave her fans a pleasant surprise last night, December 12, when she released a new self-titled visual album on iTunes.
This would be Bey’s 5th album and it features 31 tracks; 14 of which are new songs.
What makes this new album exciting for Nigerians is that Queen Bey featured our very own iconic author, Chimamanda Adichie in her new song titled, “Flawless” which is “Track 11″ on the album.
Although Adichie isn’t featured in the video, a portion of her rousing speech about feminism was featured in Flawless.
Check out her powerful speech/verse below.
We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
“You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man”
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach to aspire to marriage
And we don’t teach boys the same?
We raise girls to each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist – the person who believes in the social Political, and economic equality of the sexes
