*Neku, The Lover of Horses

Neku

Name: Neku,

Sport: Polo

i do not plan that far ahead, I do not think it is healthy. I am happy with the direction I am going. But in 14years I hope to have touched a lot of lives in different ways.

i love it- it makes me happy. This reason enough. Plus I love to win and compete.

"Many of life's failures are ppl who do not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Never ever give up!

to me, deciding to study horses as a degree! I learnt a lot more about what I love, and learnt different disciplines like dressage and show jumping.

never- and I have very little interest in sitting at a desk all day, when life is moving outside and the sun is shining, and the birds are singing

i like scars

i have no secrets......

Did you believe that? if I told u, I'd have to hack into your website and destroy it.

1) polo

2) polo

3) polo

4) polo

5) polo

6) and listen to bob marley (who I always sing when I play) *baby don't worry! About a thing! Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!*

Polo.

My family.

My dog

Depends on the day. You cannot know tomorrow, so I do what I need to. I say 'Thankyou God for keeping me alive to see another day'. I do not like mondays- cliche I know, but what can I say.

play a good game everyday, horses go well. Learn new things. And am presented and prepared for new opportunities.

seriously?? Any man that can play the Piano deaf gets my vote! Beethoven is an international legend. Personally, with classical music I prefer Gustav Mahler, his music is about death and sorrow, and it makes you feel very alive!

i always seem to be having breakfast in airport lounges or hotels these days. Today I had grapefruit and scrambled egg whites, with sausages.

was not memorable- but it did its job. Of all the lounges I have eaten at, the french lounge had the most boring food.

if my cousin will do the dishes, kitchen. Cause I am an amazing cook- hate when people say they cannot cook- basic necessity- I heard someone once say 'if you can't cook, you can't &*$#' :-s while that is extreme, people, cook!! The fresher the better!

Amor, salud y dinero

blame it on the cold weather

so the new collection finally came out of the oven.. and according to the words on the streets.. it might be the best collection to date.. well the streets might be lying :) since they are bias anyway to what we put out.. but yeah the new collection should be on point.... i am sure yall wont be disappointed.. just hope u will hold us down when its time for dinner.

the new collection is called TheComeUp. and thats exactly how we feel.. we are still on our grind.. still paving our way thru the concrete jungle.. still tryin to build the brand and still tryin to put out the hot ishhhh( note the word trying) but yeah u get my drift..


a few more wks and the shirts should be up and ready for serving

much love and ns always loves u more

Just incase

just incase the lynch mob decide they want blood..

we dont need to have a democratic country to be democratic as a people..

thats all folks.... and ns always loves u more

its that time of the yr again

well with the exception of last yr 08 we have always marked Nigerian independence day. Thats 4 designs under our belt.. so we needed to make this one extra special as u can imagine its 5 times the charm..
anyway so going along the lines of what we stand for .. who we are and the voice we want to have.. we decided to make this design extra hard

so enjoy and welcome to NS indy 09 ..

look out for a new collection coming out real real soon.. NS TheComeUp.

ns loves u more..

Dollars n Sense

Ok maybe it was better to have written this right after it happened.. well those in the bmore area would have at least heard of the play Dollars and Sense . what can I say.. u should have been there.

keep their names in your mind for bigger and better things from them in the near future. The show was very funny well directed and it packed more than enough laughs and a few social consciousness.. on a scale of 1-10. I’d give it a ten.. and believe I would have just kept quiet about the whole thing.. but I am tellin u that if they maintain and continue their clean from the ground hustle they will be a huge force

Anyway much love and enjoy the pics …

ns loves u more

be yourself and just be better than last time. be innovative-- follow-follow will only get you 2nd place, at best.

to just be myself in every capacity, unapologetically (not sure if that's a word. but you get what i'm saying.).

yes, i do

lol. my boss is cool. she's a great motivator- works very hard. so i'd just say thank you, but i gots-to-go!

i believe in Jesus Christ as my lord and savior

a) i work and play extremely hard

b) i love creative folks, and would go out of my way to help anyone out

c) photographs is all about lighting and not the camera

a positive attitude can really make dreams come true. make every attempt to do what you love doing...even if it means that you have to work 3 other jobs. be incredibly good at everything that you do, and finally, believe in the freshness, vitality, and importance of your own experience and imagination.

Falz The Bahd Guy

Falz

Thats quite a precise number of words. lol. Well, my real name is Folarin Falana but everyone knows me as Falz or Falz the Bahd guy! Im a Rapper/ Rap Artist/ Musician. You wouldn't be wrong to classify my music as Hip-Hop/ R n'B but at the same time i like to call it Afro-HipHop or Contemporary Rap. Im currently studying in the U.K so music is still a part-time job, so to speak.

. As if you knew of my intention. I see something massive in the near future. I know, as they say, its easier said than done but there are plans that i have been making these past few months with a couple of close pals and we actually see a potentially successful career emerging from the music that i'm making right now. Its definitely going to take a lot of hard work and evolution but in 14 years i see myself as a massive national and international hip-hop superstar!

At first music was just something that young Folarin was passionate about but then over the years i've just magically evolved into this great lyricist. I think the fact that i've developed so much in the musical realm in a relatively short period of time just speaks a lot about what is to come in the near future, and for this reason i feel its worth my going 100% at it!

I've learned that for you to be successful, you 'ld definitely fail at first but what would make you who you wanna be is your ability to raise your head high and continue going for it even after you've failed. Wise words right there my brother, wise words!

To stay in school and not be a useless drop out just because i realised a great talent in me. I did consider it trust me

As stated earlier, Im still a student at the moment so that is what i do from 9-5!

dont think i have any message for my lecturers. lol

Some people may have noticed but i wish other people would just see that im a very special kid and even music-wise, that what i bring to the table is far from cliche!

1. That i have a pair of pink boxers. lol
2. That i could be quite a shy guy
3. That i eat quite a lot
4. and That Iv never been in love.

1. Play soccer/football,
2. Play Table tennis,
3. Play on my xbox 360,
4. Eat,
5. Just hang with friends really,
6. and party!

1. Food
2. Football (playing and watching)
3. Music

Go to the toilet to ease myself, im sure we all do that.

A good friday entails waking up in the morning to a nice rich breakfast, No lectures at all throughout the day, Chinese for lunch, Playing some sweet football in the evening and then rounding up the day with a night-out with my guys!

c'est fini

*Laughs* 3 extremely different people. I 'll go for D'banj! yess!

Bread with butter...and some chicken.

Ah i enjoyed it oh

I am actually sober

well imagine u r in the kitchen cooking a dish u have planned for months and u start cooking.. ur rice is done boiling and all of a sudden the gas runs out and it will take a few days before u can refill it and u have a dinner party for 5 separate guests back to back in the next few hrs

well thats exactly where i am now.. i am waiting feelin very restless kinda kickin myself a little cuz i almost jumped the gun and the ppl coming for dinner might be disappointed ns isnt delivering in a timely manner :-(

lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

thanks

ns loves u more..

*Maaa NI$$A*

Man on a mission.

NS loves you more

STOP THAT

they need to get off their high horses and look in the mirror.. stop claiming.... . be comfortable within ur own skin.. and stand for something deeper that what u r falling for..

inbtw ns will be the best... there isnt a competition in sight.. ok we had a few a few yrs back.. but its all stories... we r about changing attitudes and we that we will .....

the world is too fake ..too many fake ppl... too many false prophets.. too many snakes. tooo many hypocrites... too many insecurities..


anyway maybe one day it will make sense.. but pls look in the mirror and be as real as u can be and most importantly be as U as u r suppose to be.. forget the, "what they expect of u or what the status quo"

much love and ns still loves u more....

before they shut us down

he is def having the last laugh

at the end of the day.. no one can say he isnt a brilliant man.. infact i think the biggest trick he pulled off was to make ppl think he was a gangsta.

http://kayodeadegbola.shutterchance.com/

My name is 'Kayode Adegbola, and I'm a Law student in the UK and have been an active hobbyist photographer over the past two years. Besides study and photography, I am interested in media (music, art, fashion, etc.) and politics/current affairs. I like to think of myself as an all-rounder ;o)

In the next 14 years, I expect my photos to have been exhibited in some of the world's best galleries; and to be collectors' items amongst genuine photography and art lovers globally. I am planning my first exhibition at the moment, starting in Lagos, Nigeria and then London, UK. NS will definitely be kept posted ;o)

I don't get asked this a lot, and I'm glad that I've been asked it now.

◦ I am greatly spurred on by comments from people about how my photography inspires them, on a daily basis. There have been certain photographs I haven't been totally pleased with, but for every photo I've taken, there has been at least one positive reaction. For these two reasons alone, I am pleased and thankful for my talent in photography.

A hard knock lesson I'd like to share is that the first step to living a meaningful life is realising that life itself was not designed to be easy. Once that has been realized, then all else will come along with determination and hardwork. This, I try to remember whenever I feel like giving up. The concept has also been constantly taught to me by my parents and mentors.

The answer to that question does not exist, as I try to remain pleased and exempt regrets from decisions after I have made them. If I encounter a problem as a result of a decision I have made, I do my best to find a remedy!

I am still a student; in that case, we can refer to the Law School at Queen Mary, University of London as my 9-5 (and more) job.

N/A

One thing I wished people knew about me ----- It has taken me days to answer this question; I think a suitable answer is that I have a heart just like everyone else, and that I'm far from perfect, but perfection is what I strive for.

4 Secrets ---
◦ I hardly follow movies and television series, I'm known for falling asleep in cinemas :o)
◦ I love rain, especially tropical rain in Nigeria
◦ I'm only just getting over the fear of flying
◦ when I just hear a song and I like it, I listen to just that song until I'm tired of it.

I listen to music --- I have a wide, varied taste in music.
I take a Catnap --- this I do, when I'm very tired
I check out my twitter! --- fantastic for networking, useful for blog followership
I read blogs online --- I follow the NS Blog of course (**KA** loves NS), the Sartorialist, Brooklyn Circus, notjustok.com, and many more
I take a lukewarm shower
I read a magazine or a self-help book

my blackberry
a camera: on my phone, my SLR, or my point-and-shoot camera
my computer

I ashamedly admit that the first thing I do in the morning is look at my phone.

A good Friday will be spent in a nice London club ;o)

Beethoven in the morning, Jay-Z in the afternoon, D'banj at night ---- on a Friday this will be very much in order !

Indomie noodles ---

it was very basic, I won't eat it tomorrow!

Mostly order in, I cook 1/5th of the time (Noodles included of course!)

Thanks and best wishes to NS, **KA** loves NS too
