The Bookshop House – aka CSS (i.e. Church Missionary Society) Bookshop has been a leading supplier of books, items, stationery, pamphlets from public lectures and also church related publications such as hymnals, for over a century (since 1869 to be exact).

However, I recall observing during my last visit to the CSS Bookshop (over 10 years ago), that it was not in the best shape.

So, when I was taking my girls there on this day (17th February 2024), I was not sure what to expect. But I simply could not imagine bringing them to that location and NOT taking them into such a historic landmark.

Walking into the shop however ended up being quite a pleasant experience, as we were greeted with a most appealing menu of new, and colorful good quality books on a wide variety of subjects fully stacked on shelves all around!

Little wonder that the girls went on to explore and purchase multiple items – many of which turned out to be quite affordably priced. It was really refreshing to see the iconic bookshop looking rejuvenated and radiant in a manner befitting its status. Kudos to the management!

Pigeon “Guest” Makes Nest, Lays Egg In Tayo’s Window!

This “girl-pigeon” has been living in my window since the last week of December 2024, but I was not aware of the fact, until last Sunday 5th January 2025, when I accidentally pulled back the curtain and saw it in its nest. Since then, I’ve tried to record its activities whenever I take a break and notice it’s around.

Valuable 2 Hr Career/Life Coaching & Experience Sharing Session With CEO Of BEA MAKEUP & HAIR, Ikeja

The day started with a hiccup LOL! The girls were late to our agreed meeting point at Zenith Bank, so they had to find their way down to the salon on their own by bus (I’d already left on the BRT bus to ensure I did not keep the Salon CEO waiting, knowing she’d have tried to free herself from appointments to host us).

What They Offer

1. An innovative menu that makes average Nigerians believe they can buy fast foods on a regular basis – daily even – due to their VERY pocket friendly pricing – starting as low as N1,000.

2. Most popular was their what they initially called a “Combo meal” but which was later renamed as the “Refuel” meal – and comes in different forms.

3. Over the years, they’ve successfully added other attractively priced options such as the Citizen’s Meal, Express Meal With Chips, Hamburgers, Bucket Chicken, Pot Lovers Meal, Spicy Yam MAX Meal etc.

Little wonder the traffic of Nigerians across economic classes who frequent their outlets has been sustained!

[NOW LIVE] VIDEO: The Full Story Of How Two Sisters (12 & 9 years Old) Got Invited to Show Housewives, Undergraduates & Youths, How to Make Drinks You CAN SELL from Peels of Pineapples – In Ogun State on Sat. 14th April 2018!

In this video podcast, I narrate the full story (including background details) of how my 2 daughters (12 and 9 years old) – supported by me – Tayo K. Solagbade – got invited to demonstrate “How to Make Drinks You CAN SELL from Peels of Pineapples” to an audience comprising housewives, undergraduates and youths, in Ognumakiin community of Ogun State”.

Date: 14th April 2018 | Time: From 10a.m
Venue: Town in Ogun state
Facilitators: Temi (12) & Oluoma (9) Solagbade
Organiser: BHF Foundation [3 Day Youths Conference]

The event was sponsored by B.H.F Foundation, whose CEO – after several discussions with me – sent us a formal invitation, to facilitate the event on the final day of a 3 day youth conference outside Lagos. Our training comes up on the final day (Sat. 14th Apr 2018).

The purpose of running the event in this manner was:

1. To challenge the adults attending the event to BELIEVE they could do it, after seeing my girls do it.

2. To give the girls an opportunity to develop their sales/marketing presentation skills as part of the Vocational Skills training based education they’ve been undergoing.
