Faces Of Native And Vogue

Published

on

Last year 2013, the na
tive and vogue initiative made its maiden debut in Port Harcourt, organizers and potential participants no doubt had their initial fears as to what the success rate would look like, but the Commissioner for Information ably represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Mrs Cordelia Peterside, déclares  that “last year it went well which is a reason for the hosting of a second edition.”
Mrs Peterside made this declaration last week in Port Harcourt at the unveiling of the Faces of Native and Vogue International Fashion Week 2014, preparatory to the main event which comes up September 19-21, 2014, at the Hotel Presidential, Port Harcourt.
Searching for the mysterious and unusual traits, 24 years old NYSC member, Joy Adoki was overwhelmed with excitement as she was presented to the press last week in Port Harcourt as the winner of the female category of the Face of Native and Vogue International Fashion Week 2014 by its organisers.
The 5ft 11″ elegant lady, with scintillating sets of legs, sweet to behold, has by this development, earned the sum of five hundred thousand naira only and automatically becomes the Face of Native and Vogue International Fashion Week 2014 and Rivers State Youth Ambassador.
She will be privileged to attend all Rivers State Government functions and be part of all communication and production as may be required of a model. She has the rare opportunity to walk the ramp alongside international and renowned models.
As the Face of Native and Vogue, Joy Adoki has got the opportunity to model designs of frontline designers and be the face on all Native and Vogue communication materials for the fashion week for a whole year.
For the male category of the Face of Native and Vogue an elegant, confident, Dennis Atiegoba, carted the trophy. A 6ft tall, 22 year old student Dennis Atiegoba will also fly the Rivers State Youth ambassadorial flag of Native and Vogue International Fashion Week for a whole year and all that were good for the geese, would also be good for the gander.
It is interesting to note that a platform was also provided for young designers to compete from where ten top budding designers were picked; six female and four male of Rivers State origin or residing and doing business within the state and between ages 18 and 30 years.
The emergence of these ones as top ten designers affords them the privileges of scholarship to an international fashion school, one year mentorship with renowned fashion designers, automatic FADAN membership and fashion designs in notable fashion magazines.
The Native and Vogue project is a 3-day fashion week that primarily brings together already established fashion designers from Nigeria and beyond who will showcase their wares.
It serves as a base and spring board for the upcoming and aspiring designers to cease the opportunity of a career launch after undergoing a short tutelage under the already established designers.

The Wise Woman

The wise woman builds her home. Mothers are supposed to live exemplary lives. The roles of mothers in the building of the modern Christian home cannot be overemphasized.
The function of the mother is to help the man build the home. She is a helper. A helper to the husband when the man is not doing well. It is important for the wise woman to assist when the man is not able to meet up with the items needed in the home.
A wise woman needs to reference God first and then the husband. Also the wise woman should respect her husband.
Caring for her own children as well as others is very crucial.
Do not despise children from other mothers. Discipline the child who is going the wrong way.
Ensure family bonding, show love and don’t discriminate. Connection with children is very important, especially the females. Find out who is her friend. Also find out the kind of lives they live. Caution, counsel and guide so that they make good partners.
Teaching children the dos and donts should start from birth. Inculcate the word of God in them so that when they grow, will not depart from it.
From the Scripture, some women influenced their families positively. Virgin Mary influenced the world, she never destroyed herself hence she gave birth to Jesus Christ.
Elizabeth, despite her age, God blessed her as she waited patiently.
A wise should curb favouritism in the family and love children equally. Whether a child is your biological child or not, it is necessary to show love equally. Reprimanding the children should be the function of both man and wife.

Women are blesssed with feminine abilities that can be used for good in husbands lives. With your abilities, you can create a marriage that will last till couples get old.
A woman needs
man that is honest,  trustworthy,  nice,  loving and financially stable.
There are no two ways about finance in marriage. No matter the level of love, if there is no reasonable finance,  it is always difficult to manage the home.
Referring to the Biblical belief in Genesis 3: “Your desire  shall be unto you…….. “
What this means is that whatever the woman desires in life shall be provided as far as she performs her role in her home. There are many things  the woman expects her husband to take care of.
A woman wants a husband that is not lazy,  at least helping to do one or two things when he is at home.

No matter where he finds himself, he is not destracted by external influence. He returns home to his loved ones.
A woman should not antagonise her husband because of one error or the other. No matter the level of offence he may have committed, you still show some love.
According to the Scripture, it is with wisdom that a woman builds her home. As far as he rreturns home, you accept him as your own.
It is not as if the woman will not monitor her husband, but to certain limit.  Don’t be a monitoring spirit.  Don’t allow anything to take your joy.
Don’t loose trust in your husband. The idea of checking your husband’s phone should be discouraged. The more you check your husband and his phone, the more you loose your joy.
