How time flies!!! Just a decade plus 5 jolly years ago, November 1998 to be more precise, one of Nigeria's top fashion brand emerged on the scene, known to the world as Tiffany Amber, and owned by the gorgeous daughter of the Parakoyi of Ibadanland- Chief Bode Akindele of the Modandola Group fame, in the person of Folake Folarin Coker.
What emerged on the scene then like a bolt outta the blue as a fashion brand, as since become an award winning Nigerian/African global brand, that has become a household name amongst those who understands fashion & style and those who appreciates excellence. Tiffany Amber, when it came on the scene 15 years ago, was the first fashion brand to take the bull by the horns, following in the footsteps of established international fashion brands, by coming out with a read-to-wear line that could match any of the international standard bearers.
Jumping forward all of 15 years now, those eventful years proudly flying the Nigerian flag at international fashion shows with much aplomb, garnering awards after awards on the way, it was a very monumental & joyous occasion to mark the 15 years very recently.
The fashion brand was joined by world renowned champagne brand Laurent Perrier & Cointreau to celebrate making 15 years and moving forward.

We have tried to find the words, but truly nothing much came forth. If not for anything at all, at least we are thankful that we are alive and OK. Today, Tuesday, October 1, 2013 is Nigeria's 53rd birthday.
From 1960 till now, how far have we come? Have there been major improvements? Have we learnt on this journey so far?
How far have we come as a country? In 53 years we still have not been able to agree on leaving together, forging ahead and achieving great things. We still suffer from suspicions, the number one thing that should be our strength, which is our diversity seems a major weight, an albatross on our necks.
A nation that is so blessed by God, with everything all other nations of other continents would kill to have. Unbelievably abundant mineral resources. Gloriously rich and fertile land mass. Our human resources is first grade, in terms of skills and sheer numbers, we even have some of the most brilliant people on the face of the Earth, in all areas of human endeavours, banking and finance, science and medicine, governance and economy, religion and the arts, fashion, lifestyle and entertainment etc.
But instead of us shaking the world as one of the top 5 nations of the universe, according to how God has ordained us to be, strife, greed, theft, violence etc seem to have become the order of the day.
