VIDEO: AFRICA FASHION WEEK AMSTERDAM 2014

So here it is.
The maiden edition of Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam was held at the World Fashion Centre. It was a long day but it was worth it! The event was founded by Diana Tambe Blackpearl and co-organised by Aydin Acik. The hosts, Ramsey Tokunbo Nouah and Caroline Ter Linde did an excellent job. People from different sectors were in attendance. Beautiful designs were showcased by designers from home and abroad. The atmosphere was warm. It was also an opportunity for new connections.


Overall, I'd say it was a succesful event and I would not hesitate to attend the next edition

VIDEO: BRACKET LIVE IN ROTTERDAM

It was one hell of a show. This show took place in Rotterdam and it is Bracket's 2nd performance in The Netherlands. They performed in Amsterdam in 2009 and they had a massive audience.




Enjoy the highlights of the Rotterdam show.

VIDEO: SEUN KUTI LIVE IN AMSTERDAM

''Our politicians are thieves...'' After his performance at the MC Theater in Amsterdam, I had the opportunity to sit down with Seun and speak elaboratively with him about his music, the present situation in Nigeria, and fatherhood.




I never saw Fela Kuti perform live on stage so I feel privileged to witness Seun's performance. He gave his audience just a little piece of the ''Fela experience'' but he remained true to himself all through the performance. His own lyrics, his own moves, his own gestures, his own interpretation of art. He is a bundle of talent and creativity. I must not forget to applaud his humility.




Listen to what he has to say.

CLUB APHRODISIACSZ OPENING WITH THE CEO DANCERS

This is the very first event am attending since the inception of Blessing Njoh Media & Events. Yes, I went solo! My own entertainment outlet.




The 22nd of March 2014 was a hectic day for me. After having spent a few hours at the office, I hurried down to Zwolle where I was scheduled to follow a LEAN 6 Sigma training. After the training which ended around 5pm, I knew it was time time to party.




I made the 146km drive to Dordrecht where my I met with my Presenter and friend. After eating a good dish of Cameroonian food at hers, it was time for a make-over. We got busy until every single corner was painted. Then, it was time to hit the road.


First stop was The Hague where we had to pick up the video camera that we would use for the night. Why, you would wonder, well, because I left my own camera battery back in Amsterdam, oops.


Camera, check! Microphone, check! Chargers, check!


All set, now off to Rotterdam, destination: Club Empire where the Aphrodisiacz show was going to be held, hosted by DJ Locco.


Overall, it was a succesful first gig for me, although not without the usual ups and downs that one would expect with a first-timer but at the end of it all, i was satisfied. And I got the chance to meet and interview some awesomely talented peole like Miss Bess and the CEO Dancers from the UK.


Fast forward to the present... I am very nervous about sharing the video because... because I did the video recording myself. Well, let's just say...watch out for the video,,, well, maybe :)


Below are some of the pictures from the gig.

VIDEO: FASHIONSHOW DÉSAR & ARTS EXPOSITION ELS HENDRIKX 2013

On the 11th of May 2013, I made a road trip to Venlo, Southern Netherlands, to witness the 2nd edition of Monique Désar's Fashion Show & Arts Exposition by Els Hendrikx.

Last year, I could not attend the 1st edition due to some technical issues beyond my control so I promised myself that I would attend this year... and I did. I booked my ticket for the show a couple of months prior to the event just to be sure I could secure a seat. I'm lucky I did because the hall was filled to the brim: over 400 people were in attendance.

The journey to Venlo from Amsterdam was long so I decided to stay at a hotel for the night.

At the show, everything seemed to be going pretty fine until the battery of my camera ran down... any blogger's worst nightmare.... my Nokia phone did the rest of the job :)

Happy viewing.

What I learnt about Poland within my 1-week stay:

- Pork meat is widely/daily eaten in Poland

- Polish people would put a slice of lemon in tea, water, coke... I wonder in what else, but I loved it

- Don't order a Quarter Pounder at the McDonalds in Poland; they don't know what that is...

-... their ice-tea is highly diluted though

- Poland seems very stable and peaceful

- Do black folks live there? Just asking...

Ow what a day it was... What can i say. Getting all those people together. A model called off and since I was the Producer of the talkshow, I had to provide a replacement within 24 hours. I succeeded. We did it and here is the result. Thank you all for watching my videos.
