The photos in the slideshow linked below show Oluoma, my 9 year old girl (recovering from a bout of Mumps) plaiting her older sister’s hair in the style for school.
A visit to their school led to Oluoma’s teacher’s discussion with me about the need for them to come with the right hairstyle to school in the new week. So, on Sunday 28th October, after they returned from church, I got Oluoma to plait Temi’s hair. The exercise lasted about 1.5 hours – but that was due to distractions. I know from watching them work, that it could have been done in well under ONE hour, by either of them.
Like I told someone few months ago, the girls have now achieved a level of what is called UNCONSCIOUS COMPETENCE, and it’s only a matter of time before they attain full mastery. This has been confirmed by their respective hair-styling trainers.
Oluoma has not achieved perfection, but her finished work is more than presentable.
Little wonder that Temi wore THIS hairstyle to school ALL week without getting any negative comments from the school.
Apart from hair styling. the girls and their brothers bake various confectionaries e.g. cake, cookies, pizza, bread, chin-chin, puff-puff in addition to making drinks from pineapple peels which they even sold in their former school.
Oluoma has also reared snails on a micro scale since August 2017 (click here to read true story), selling N500’s worth in Dec. 2017. This year she has over 70 snails and is looking to sell much more.
