Women Empowering Other Women

It seems like almost everyday I hear about some woman somewhere complaining about another woman.  Now I know we are all not perfect and some of us have had to struggle and fight for what we have and where we have gotten; but it takes absolutely nothing away from you if  you pay a kind and encouraging word to your fellow woman,  support your fellow woman's business or just even point your fellow woman in the right direction.

It takes a strong and confident woman to uplift another woman without her having the fear that her position will be compromised or that she will no longer be as relevant. Now, even if you support your fellow sister, mentor her, promote her and encourage her, it is not guaranteed she might even appreciate it. However, one must remember you are not doing it for the "thank you" even though that would be nice! You are doing this for the mere fact that you can be a better woman, a stronger woman, a more confident woman.
Hopefully at the end of the day and even when you are long gone there will be more women in business, more progressive women in the world  and most importantly more young girls that believe they have what it takes to be successful in life.

You do not even have to be a powerful woman or even a business woman to support and empower another woman. Here are a few of my suggestions on being good to your sister:

1. Listen and encourage. If another woman is telling you about her business idea and even if it might be something that you have zero interest in, do not kill her dreams unless it is illegal or involves her pimping herself or other girls.
2. If a woman you know has just recently started a business, check it out and show your support. If you absolutely love it and she knows what she is doing, help her spread the word.
3. If for whatever reason you were not impressed by what she was doing, do not go out and belittle her and call it constructive criticism. Simply make a polite suggestion and if there is not polite way then let it be.
4. If you have a connection or know someone else that may be able to help another woman realize her dreams connect them together or at least try to.
5. Become a mentor! If you have the know how, share the know how. Yes, it may have taken you years but it is ok. Women long before you have fought and struggled for women's rights, women's place in the economy, business, politics and government.

So please go out and encourage a woman today, this week, this month, NOW!  :)

This is dedicated to all my hard working sisters all over the world, you are not working in vain.
Also, if you know any incredible and exquisite woman that you think should be featured as an Omoge of the month please let me know.

Inside Abuja - Play NightClub

Name: Play NightClub

Location: Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, Abuja Nigeria (across from Peniel Apartments)
Type: Nightclub/ Hip-Hop and Naija music mainly
Phone:
Hours: Thursday, Friday and Saturdays
Price Range: Classy and Upscale (for the most part)

Personal Experience:
Thanks to PlayLounge, the weekend starts on thursday in Abuja with BYOB (bring your own bottle) rendering most professionals practically useless, groggy and inefficient the next working day; but hey who is complaining???
I've known about Play since before they even opened back around 2008/ 2009. They were a brand new club and I believe it was initially supposed to be a sports bar and lounge of some sorts but of course Nigerians do not know the meaning of bar or lounge and everything gets turned into a CLUB where they drink and dance their sorrows and cares away :)
Over time, Play has become known for being a network of friends. Its a pretty nice atmosphere, the bouncers are cool compared to some other clubs which I will not mention now and as a woman you can feel comfortable knowing that most likely you are not rubbing shoulders with the professional women of the night that are so popularly known for plaguing Abuja streets and other certain nightclubs.

Play has a number of special events and parties that they throw during the year, such as The All Black Party, White and Black Party, their famous pool parties and a few others I believe. I however, always seem to miss these "EPIC nights of alcohol and debauchery" because I am unfortunately out of town but everyone that attends always raves on about it.

From my experience Thursdays are definitely their busiest nights, with friday and saturday being a bit quieter. I personally prefer it less crowded and am usually hiding all the way in the back of the VIP looking for an AC.
So if you happen to be visiting Abuja and are in the mood for some very loud music with a pretty decent crowd Play Lounge or is it Nightclub is calling your name.

Favorites: My favorite thing about Play is that it one of the few places I can go at night if am in the mood for dancing and feel comfortable and know that most likely I'll bump into a friendly face. They also make nice cocktails and are not stingy with the alcohol.

Least Favorite Thing: The smoke! They used to have a non-smoking section but they never really enforced it  and since they recently renovated the VIP  I believe the so called non-smoking section is non-existent.

In the very back of the old VIP

My Verdict: Play Nightclub Abuja is A Ok in my books, am a certified Play Bunny ;-)

Inside Abuja - 805 Restaurant and Lounge Review

Name: 805 Restaurant and Lounge

Location: 93 Amino Kano Crescent, Abuja Nigeria
Type: Restaurant and Bar/ Nigerian cuisine and light continental
Phone: 07098741389
Hours: Closed Sundays
Price Range: Average dish is about N2500

Personal Experience:
I've only been to 805 three times and once was for take-out so I have only dined in twice. I must admit i was lured here because I was told that they serve free puff-puff while you wait for your food and I am a big time sucker for puff-puff (free puff-puff!!!). Sadly to say, I have only received puff-puff once :( They have been conveniently out the last two times I was there.
The ambiance is quite nice, they have a lot of space and seem quite busy most especially during lunch hours. However, they are never short staffed (to my knowledge anyways) so I've never had to wait too long for my food. The first time i was there I ordered pounded yam and white soup with fresh fish (Yummy!), my friend I went with had jollof rice, with eforiro (vegetable soup) and assorted meat. Everything was absolutely delicious and I washed down my meal with freshly squeezed, or is it blended pineapple juice.
The last time I dined there, I decided to order jumbo prawns with fried rice only because I discovered that their pounded yam was infact. . . . poundo (the flour mix) and not actually real yam boiled and pounded with pestle and mortar. My friend ordered the jollof rice with eforiro again and it was nice but was not as great as it was the first time, and in my opinion the portions were a bit smaller or maybe I just thought that because there was no free puff-puff to fill in the gaps within my tummy. This time I washed down my lunch with an African Queen cocktail which was nice and sweet but that glass sure was tiny.

Favorites: Their soups are always freshly made and has not been sitting outside for hours.

Least Favorite Thing: THE FREE PUFF PUFF IS NOT ALWAYS CONSISTENT!  Also they don't open on Sundays and their cocktails could be a bit bigger and I wish they served real pounded yam.

My Verdict: I like it, I would go again hopefully the next time I go there they will satisfy my puff-puff cravings.

Amateur Foodie and Minister of Enjoyment ;)

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am the eat out and takeout queen! And I am not ashamed of it :)

No need to fear though, I can cook and actually do. Anyways I have realized that this past week alone I have been to 4 different restaurants and have had completely different experiences. Some I love, some are just there and others, well lets just say I won't be rushing back.

I've decided to share some of my experiences and start posting reviews on different places that I have been within the last 6 months (so that way, at least they are some what current); the reviews will not only be limited to restaurants, but recreational facilities as well as any leisure establishment that I have actually been to. So enjoy them, share, and feel free to comment and give your own opinion as well.

Adios!

P.S- I'll leave you with some pictures of me living, laughing and loving life :)
