ABOUT TEMI AND OLUOMA Temi & Oluoma are sisters who learn income earning vocational skills, which they actively put to use in the real world, and also share with others, by teaching those interested in learning. Examples: 1. (From the early days back in 2014), creating low cost recipes using a charcoal stove pot to bake cookies, cakes, "African-Style" Pizza, Soft-and-Fluffy bread etc. This microbusiness baking venture began as a “skills acquisition project” Temi asked their Dad to let her do, after seeing videos of homemade cookies baking. The girls learnt to make the cookies by watching Youtube videos by hobbyists/experts in the USA. But unlike those in the videos they watched, the girls emulated their brothers (who were taught by their Dad to make Pineapple peel based drinks and cakes) by using a charcoal stove and pot for baking I.e no oven! This trained them to employ create thinking to start where they are, with what they have, by using low cost methods to create low cost products they can sell. 2. From 2018 to the first quarter of 2024, the girls have apprenticed as hairstylists in three different salons (Mushin, Ikeja and Saabo-Ojodu-Berger), and today earn income Doing Business As (DBA) "Sisters With Skills (SWS) - Mobile Hairstylists". In 2021 they partnered with the CEO of Ada Unique Salon in Anfowoshe-Ikeja to conduct a one-day Coaching Clinic for Teenagers and Kids. Today, they offer On-Demand Mobile Hairstyling Services, as well as periodic street- based FREE promotional braiding solutions for selected clients.
