Chez Victor is a real gem and great edition to the Abuja restaurant scene. With a extensive menu offering French and African fusion meals. You can tell without a doubt owner and head chef Victor has poured all his passion in every single dish he creates. From the ingredients, the flavour to the presentation, even in the simplest dishes, the bread alone is baked to perfection. The ambience it self gives a cosy feel accompanied with the french music and sometimes jazz that plays whilst you enjoy your meal, everything just fits. The walls are paved with Chez Victors story, from scriptures to pictures of his cookbooks. Chez Victor is always up and about asking making sure his guest are always happy. This has to be one of the finest restaurants in Abuja, the food is exceptional and definitely a must try for all.CHEZ VICTORName - Chez VictorAddress - 7 Ganges St, MaitamaWebsite - chezvictor.meIn Thailand, food forms a central part of any social occasion and vice versa. Food often becomes the social occasion in itself, or reason to celebrate. So it makes perfect sense that Sawadee is the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal in a great setting. Looks wise, Sawadee doesnt picture well, but once you dive into their mouth watering dishes, and look past the plain and almost outdated furniture and decor. You discover you are eating the most authentic Thai food to be found in Abuja. With freshly cooked, authentic Thai food with everything from their curries and sauces to their starters are made by hand. Offering innovative yet classic cuisines for all Thai lovers. Sawadee Thai is the perfect place to experience contemporary Thai food in a clean and sophisticated setting. Private rooms are available for corporate and family entertaining guests.SAWADEEName - Sawadee Oriental CuisineAddress - 43 Kumasi crescent, wuse 2Contact - 092911826 - 0812878087Type - ThaiWebsite - sawadeeorientalcuisine.comSituated in the heart of Wuse, Tulip Bistro somehow managesto be a little oasis of calm away from the steady heartbeat of Nigerias capital. The Bistro is reasonably small but flooded with natural light and stylishly furnished with high wooden chairs and tables,a huge glass fronted display showing all the freshly baked goods on offer and a hand written menu behind the cash desk. Everything is quick to be served and delicious- from the grilled chicken salad which has fast become a fan favourite, to the enormously satisfying classic burger served with perfect French fries. The Bistro also cashes in on Abujas insatiable desire for yummy pastries- try any one of their extensive range of muffins and fall instantly in love. The best place to go fora quick lunch, an easy coffee-and-gossip or a short break from whatever life throws at you, Tulip Bistro is a welcome addition to Abujas gastronomical scene. Ask nicely and you can even plug your own iPod into the speakers for an extra blast of chill.The Tulip BistroName - The Tulip BistroAddress - 3 Bangui St, off Kindia St, Ademola Adetokunbo, Wuse 2Type - Caf, RestaurantTimeutO AbujaAn Onwugbenu Reviews OriginalOnwugbenu Reviews is an original concept that rates and recommends places and venues.BOX Tips in aEvents- 360Information & Guide5 things to do whenyouareinAbuja.Time Out Abuja1.

ThanksPhoograpy Nna Sam In- Aujath-cbRent in Abuja is a serious business and in case you are looking for a place to rent for a year; then you need to hire an agent. Renting in Abuja can be fun and it could also be disastrous. There are certain things to look for when you are working with an agent- For instance- looking for a place in Gwarinpa? Most Gwarinpa based agents work as a network of several pairs, so it will be ideal for you to include inspection fee( which is betweenN2000 to N5000)as part of your budget during house searching.Why? The idea of working in pairs allows some agents be in control of the houses and their owners, while other agents are in charge of the clients looking for where to rent. Certain factors to look out for in renting a space would be -1. Every area has unique agents who know what you could be looking for.2. There is need for inspection fee; in some case it is per house which you inspect.3. Once you have identified the house you want to live in; it is ideal you instruct the agent to fix what needs to be fixed {bear in mind this is also on your budget}4. Electricity and water are two vital keys in a home- you may not have them both. Keep asking until it is fixed[ this is the agents responsibility not yours, so if you don't ask, you may be the one to fix this problem.]5.There are times when you need to live in an environment that has close proximity to a school, a market or even a church- please insist that you need this and if it is not possible, arrangements could be made for transportation.Abuja real estate is ideal and it is not as cunning as others worldwide. Next week we will give you adequate information on how to rent the ideal space for a shop or even where to find large spaces to rent as a loft. We have taken the liberty of including realtors in our backpage listing to help you start your house hunt.EMERGING DESIGNERSIN DEMAND!SUNSHYNSCOUTURETime Out AbujaOriginally an ex pupil of Olumawu School, Regina Pacis Secondary School and Houdegbe North American University- First facilitator for United Nations Initiative- Childrens Parliament- a Senator- turned fashion designer with a design studio based in the United Kingdom- Sunshyns Couture is a unique label that is in demand.

I have failed a lot in the past but my belief system only kept getting better and in the process I have managed to win where others have failed. what is your goal? is it to win andavoid failing? then maybe you need to study the life of famous people who always seem to stand out- even the presidents of many nations failed at some point in their life. there is honor is failing and it comes from the humility that comes from the experience of shame. face the music- you may not be all that you expect to be now because you refuse to try the unknown- the minute you decide you will win.- winning the battle of failureEditors PageFamous Failuresbusiness update TimeutO Abujahow ecHe: male modelis capturing the world of male modeling worldwide..franchise opportunity -ecHe: male models- SpainecHe: male models- AbujaecHe: male models- New DheliecHe: male models- TanzaniaecHe: male models- South AfricaecHe: male models- GhanaecHe: male models- LagosOwned by Leucci Communications Limited-RC 314044, ecHe: male models is an online male model agency that works with male model scouts and photographers worldwide to create professional platforms to launch careers of male models and menswear designers within and around Africa.

I love to be told where I can improve.. you HAVE to have HARD SKIN!! no softies.. this does not mean being a b*tch.. that will not get you very far.. but it means not letting one knock keep you on the floor.. have the ability to use the window if the door is closed!!Energy: In my impression.. people in the fashion industry could possibly have the worst eating habits.. I sometimes have gone a DAY without eating because I am so busy!! but I have learnt to keep lil snacks on me that keep my energy boosted to the MAXX!! you need to have energy.. It keeps you on top of your game.. if you are really unhealthy and are not prepared to run to get yourself to a meeting on time.. then in my impression.. your NOT CUT OUT!! I have ran like Usain Bolt on some occasions.. My manager will be my witness LOL!! Some think stylist life is all glamourous.. IN FACT you are one of the hardest working people in the industry..Trend Awareness: Its nice to be able to dress.. some think this is all a stylist does.. But being Trend Aware and knowing what is in on the current season and seasons to come is essential!! it keeps you on your A Game.. know what is big this season.. make it your own.. pick your favourites.. and style it with your model/client in a way that is visually appealing.. especially to the CLIENT!! your Client.. wether it be a magazine ora record Label.. or a man/woman you are personally styling.. get to know them what they LOOK for.. Trends they like! etc.. For me I get to make what they want!Fashion Visual Sense: This to depends on the Client.. if I was to style for Company Magazine.. it would NOT be the same as if I was to style for ID Magazine or Instyle this again is knowing your client.. and having a good visual eye for the customer.. and spotting kinks and flaws its no good doing a photo shoot and wasting a whole hour on shots with a belt twisted etc. it takes attention to detail.. and unfortunately.. this is not just on the clothes.. its the look as a WHOLE!! (you are the ribbon to a package)JASON CHIKA SAMUELVersatility: Having your signature way of styling is an important thing to have, but it is also very important to be versatile.. be able to style in different ways.. for a man.. for a woman.. beauty.. hair.. the wider your versatility stretches is the more work you are able to getGood networking/Communication skills: Talking to big companies or people could be daunting.. but to be honest.. you WILL get the hang of it.. lol I like to talk to as much people as possible nowadays.. Getting to know people is important!! and most of all.. its important that people get to know the great person you are. good people skills are good tools to stay professional.. and allows you to build relationships with people.. DO NOT CALL VOGUE and speak like Vicky Pollard!!Open Minded: For me.. this is a wide-spread characteristic. be open-minded.. you are not always in control of everything.. I have found myself in a position where a member of the team on a shoot has a strong idea about what they visualized for the hair they had done..I was open-minded and tried what they said.. in fact.. it turned out better than what I had initially planned!! be open-minded.. you will work with people from different ages, genders, sexual preferences & races.. be open and ready to treat everyone equally.. if you dont have the ability to be open-minded about basic things such as this.. I would tell you to consider.. is this really for you? turn back and think again..Jason is the creative director for menswear label, JASON PORSCHE BESPOKEc u l l e d f r o mjasonporshe.wordpress.com...featured writerDavid TlaleDavid Tlale David TlaleTimeutO Abuja The RISE of MenswearThe RISE of Menswear The RISE of MenswearTimeutO AbujaRhodesMcMekaThe RISE of MenswearGrafix CoutureGrafix Couture Grafix CoutureTimeutO AbujaBest Place To Acquire A New Creative Skill In AbujaPlot 248 Cadestral Zone B09Kado District Off Gwarinpa Express Wayphone: +234 818 321 2885instagram- thefashionacademyabjwww.tfaabuja.comindtraing esignerscoursesbasic sewingcuttingpattern makinglayering and stitchingyou can check courseoutline online.TimeutO Abujadiet and nutritionhow to loose weightaround your mid sectionFAST!Is Abuja ready for FINE DINING?Feature ArticleIn 2014, I started a consulting position with events-ng.com and I must say it was an eye opener. Iam one of the few originals who have been living in Abuja since the late80s and I must say this without hurting myself- Abj is so laid back, so I am always wandering when will Abuja begin to dine and wine likethe mega communities worldwide. Abuja is a city with a lot of gardens that people actually find it boring at times to go out to a classy restaurant and honestly I do not mean MR. Biggs. When will this ultra modern city be ready to dine and wine daily without busting the ATM late at night? Ifor one would like to chill and relax with a glass of wine, while eating eba( I dey dream abi?)yes, I am....but seriously when will Abuja be ready to ditch the garden life and make it to therestaurants? Hopefully soon. Yeah, I believe- with the likes of Chez Victor, Tulip Bistro, Sawadee; we will soon make that transition. Are we ready to stop pointing and killing those catfishes? Are we game with switching from lager beer to red wine? I am so ready! Yes I am- but first I will have to fight those friends who wont let go of a plate of pepper soup or isiewu somewhere in masaka. They are always the ones to call you when the urge is there to go to anewly discovered garden on the outskirts of Abuja. I am not asking for an eradication of gardens- I love them please- but every once in a while we will need to sit down comfortably in a serene environment and delight our taste buds with fine cuisine.100%effectiveHave it delivered to you anywhere in NigeriaN40,000Weekly delivery available.+256 785 255358Basic KnowledgeHospitalityPre-OrderTimeutO AbujaTimeutO Abuja TimeutO AbujaHow to make clear lemonades...ingredientsSqueezed Orange JuiceCrushed GingerMint LeavesIce CubesHoneyRumMethod...Mix the juice and the crushed gingertogether in a largeglass cup, pour in theice cubes and top it with the mint leaves and honey.This is a good mix and is very ideal for those that need to fixsore throat or a mild cold andit is also a classy cocktail as it canbetoppedwithrum.The 25mins mealPotatoes and Shrimps in chilli sauceIngredientsBoiled PotatoesShrimpsParsleyChilli Pepper PasteSpring OnionsThyme & CurrySalt to tasteOlive OilMethodToss the boiled potatoes, diced spring onionsthyme and curry with a bit of salt into olive oilin a pan and stir for 5-7mins.

Take an honest look at yourself- True confidence is firmly planted in reality. To grow your confidence, its important to do an honest and accurate self- assessment of your abilities. If there are weaknesses in your skill set, make plans for strengthening these skills and find ways to minimize their negative impact. Ignoring your weaknesses or pretending theyre strengths wont make them go away. Likewise having a clear understanding of your strengths enables you to shake off some of the more groundless feedback and criticism you can get in a busy, competitive work environment- and that builds confidence.2. Say NO- The more likely you have at saying no, the more likely you are to experiencestress, burnout and depression-all of which erodes confidence. Confident people know that saying no is HEALTHY, and they have the self-esteem to make their nos clear. When it is time to say no, confident people avoid phrases such as I dont think I can, or Im not certain. They say no with confidence because they know that saying no to a new commitment honors their existing commitments and gives them the opportunity to successfully fulfill them.3. Get RIGHT with your BOSS.- A troubled relationship with the boss can destroy even the most talented persons confidence. It is hard to be confident when your boss is constantly criticizing you or underminingyour contributions. Try to identify where the relationship went wrong and decide whether theres anything you can do to get things back on track.4. Seek out small VICTORIES.- Confident people tend to challenge themselves and compete, even when their efforts yield small victories. Small victories build new androgen receptors in the areas of the brain responsible for reward and motivation. This increase in androgen receptors increases the influence in testosterone, which further increases your confidence and your eagerness to tackle future challenges. When youhave a series of small victories, the boost in your confidence can last for months.How to boost your confidence...TheConfidenceTheory...By Dr. Travis Bradberryco-author Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and President TalentSmart.New BusinessesTheContents FarmProviding you what you need for your publications.+234 803 704 1575PromotionsHouse for Sale in EfabHouse for Sale in Efab House for Sale in Efab3 Bedroom, 2 Rooms Self Contain BQHouse 35, 3rd AvenueEfab Estate- Lokogoma- AbujaAgent- PhillipContact: +234 803 442 8352Price: N30millionTime Out PortfolioMansion for sale in MaitamaMansion for sale in Maitama Mansion for sale in MaitamaAn Exquisite Mansion For Sale At Maitama Abuja With The Below Features:Basement, Carport, Dishwasher, Dryer, Family Room, Fenced Yard, Fireplace, Furnished, Hardwood Floors, Heated Floors, Hot Tub, Living Room, Microwave, Refrigerator, Sauna, Sun Room, Swimming Pool, Washer, Balcony, Airconditioners, Borehole, Boys Quarters, Cable, Dog Cage, DSTV, Generator House, Guard Room, Visitors Longe, Yard/GardenVisit www.chuksrealtors.com for more informationInternational ContributionTimeutO AbujaPrivate Cab ListingsIn this column, we list private cabs in order to make it easy for the tourist on the move to shuttle through Abuja.Godwin- 08144250686Okeychukwu- 08032905446Peter- 08137501874...All cab fares range between N1000 to N5000 depending on the route(from Wuse to Gwarinpa to Airport.)

Do you realize that words can either propel you to achieve excellence in everything that you do or hold you down from even trying anything at all? Words whether written or spoken are the most powerful force on earth because not only are they the hallmark of our humanity, they are also used to create and communicate ideas that can either make or break us, both as individuals or as institutions. Indeed, words are the kindling energy that shapes our thoughts, fuels our actions and creates reactions in others. As a result of this, every word we speak or write produces an effect in the world even though we are oblivious of the positive or negative effect these words have on ourselves and the people around us.Actually, most of us take words for granted by failing to realize that words are the most powerful tools with which we use to influence others, either negatively or positively. We do not understand that the constant usage and application of negative words lower self-esteem and destroy the joy of living; while well-chosen positive words on the other hand motivate, encourage, as well as propel us to gain greater heights in life. This is to say that nothing positive (good) can come from being negative (bad). However, for the benefit of those who may still think or feel otherwise, here is what the Bible says about the value of well-chosen words: A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.- Proverbs 15:1In light of the above, rather than use words to hurt, abuse, ridicule, distort, disrespect, misguide, demoralize, defile, curse, humiliate, damn, destroy and hate use words to heal, praise, compliment, beautify, respect, direct, motivate, purify, bless, educate, salvage, build and love. Certainly, the result of habitually using or applying positive words in our daily interactions with one another is greatly beneficial and more pleasing to humanity; because by doing so, we can actually overcome despair with hope, hate with love, failure with success, wickedness with compassion, impurity with purity, injustice with justice, weakness with strength, division with unity, selfishness with generosity, fear with faith, corruption with integrity, war with peace, and ultimately, evil with good. Simply put, through well-chosen words, you can become a dealer of hope in a world that is filled with fear, doubt, and anxiety. Moreover, the continued cultivation and apprehension of such a worthy aspiration is far better than just complaining about the wrong things of this World, and practically doing nothing to change them. As a matter of fact, you can become part of the solution to the problems devastating many nations by making a conscious and consistent effort to always choose your words wisely and carefully, knowing that these words will surely have a positive and lasting impact on you and the people you interact with every day. And while you are at it, do not hesitate to encourage, urge or challenge those around you to continue emulating this meaningful act until our world becomes an interwoven web of positive words. Imagine what a beautiful world it would be!Allow me to quickly add that just as God Almighty who is the maker of all heavenly and earthly things, created us in His image and likeness with words, so too do we all possess the ability to create our world and determine our destinies with words, as well So let your words heal and not hurt!Let your words HEAL!Inspirationalby Chuma ObumAirlines: we like!Airlines: we like!

Men love to look good no matter how flexible their spending habit is. The typical African man knows now that he needs to look extra good in other to meet the demand s of a hard knock life- the women seem to have made their lives easy with the rise of the Sugar Daddy while most young African men dream of having a Cougar as a friend. Men now have adapted to the art of dressing up and menswear designers now command more than other designers who have decided to sew generally. Our statistics proves that out of ten new designers,2 are menswear designers and this alone is a big leap in fashion. The key to looking good for any young African is in the ability to mix and match. Yeah, I know it is scary to match- but wouldnt you rather look fabulous in coordinated style than look like a drugged out dandy trying to make an effort. We would like to enlighten the man who thinks it is girly to look good that it is high time he wake up- men want to ooze sex and they can- because it is a mans WORLD! Believe it-every beautiful woman wants to be seen with a remarkable looking guy who is not afraid to show off his masculinity even if it means looking on top of his game.
