Never give up - inspirational video

One of this great videos that give your lazy *ss a kick to continue doing what makes you happy. I am sometimes drawn by negative thoughts that make me feel like the content I am putting out are not relevant or are not special enough. But James Tew put it so well when he said it doesn't matter if you reach one person or 100 000 people. Show up and deliver no matter how many people you reach with each post because you never know who is watching or who is reading. So do not give up but rather show up constantly! Watch the video and be inspired! Have a great Easter celebration!

Toyi Toyi Toys dolls

I'm so excited to introduce ToyiToyi Toys to you. Toyi Toyi Toys is Toys designed by African, for African in Africa and the world.  This is not a sponsored post. I really want us African to patronize our self-made goods and services. ToyiToyi Toys is a company from South Africa, found by Jennifer Blaine approximately two years ago. Jennifer Blaine recognized the underrepresentation of dark skinned dolls worldwide. With the belief that: A child’s perception of belonging and beauty needs to be positive and reflective of themselves. Children construct an identity from very early in life, so it is vitally important that children see themselves represented in the toys and dolls that they play with. By playing with black dolls a child’s self-esteem is raised and an identity is formed.

 So Toyi Toyi Toys created two dolls Princess Linda and Princess Lulu

Princess Lulu
The company has teamed up with jewelry company Mauke V to design matching accessories for Princess Linda and Lulu



ToyiToyi Toys ships worldwide and their costumer service is great too! But this is the starting as Toyi Toyi Toys is working hard to bring a wider range of dark skinned dolls and even dark skinned action toys for boys, so stay tuned.

New Artist Lucy - Special driver



Yeah, African music industry has two new artists that we have to look out to. Paul Okoye, one of the duo of popular music duo P-square, has signed two new singers that I really like. One of them is Lucy.



 Lucy doesn't just have the looks but she actually has a good voice. I love her first song called "special driver" that has a dancehall style.

I will really like to hear more from her.

Afro Emoji app on the market for free!

A new app from Nigeria is here to help in the quest for more diverse emojis, and this time the wacky characters have been designed with West Africans in mind. "Afro Emoji" launched Wednesday for free download on Android and Apple devices.

The West African-themed "stickers" in the app consists of a diverse array of characters dressed in traditional African clothing and accompanied by familiar pan-African phrases in pidgin English, including "Abeg no vex" (please, don’t be annoyed), "Chai!" (an exclamation of surprise) and "Akwaaba" ("Welcome" in the Ghanaian language Twi).




 Ayoola Daramola, the Nigerian-American team lead of the app, said he believes that the idea is plugging into a key demographic that's been largely ignored in the tech world. In a press release, Daramola explained the desire behind creating the Afro Emoji app: We, as Africans, definitely have an idiosyncratic way of communicating with one another, and Afro Emoji is really a fun, accessible graphic depiction of that. We are building a modern African hieroglyph that represents us.


 While the economies of African countries like Nigeria and Ghana surge, the tech and mobile industry on the continent is also continuing to grow. Over 400 million smartphones are projected to be use on the continent by 2020. “Mobile is king in Africa," Dramola said. "It is the tool for communication and media consumption, so we expect the Afro Emoji to become a key component in how Africans message and chat.”
