In this video story, I’ll narrate full details of how 5 years ago, my 2 daughters – Temi & Oluoma (12 and 9 years old at the time) supported by me, Tayo K. Solagbade – demonstrated “How to Make Drinks You CAN SELL from Peels of Pineapples” to an audience comprising housewives, undergraduates and youths, in the Ognumakin community of Ogun State on Saturday 14th April 2018.
The event was sponsored by B.H.F Foundation whose CEO – after several discussions with me – sent us a formal invitation letter, to facilitate the event on the final day of the 3 day youth conference his foundation was holding in Ogunmakin.
This is a 3:06 minute VIDEO TRAILER version of my latest Best Practice Parenting & Schooling (BPPS) video.
This version you’re looking at has been sped up about 3 times to show more footage so you can just get to see some of the slides/frames.
Now, my daughter was given an assignment from school for math. They were supposed to cut out the shape of a Kite on a piece of plywood, and they were actually told to contribute money to go and get it done with a Carpenter.
Temiloluwa (15) and Oluomachukwu (12) – guided by their mentor Ada, CEO of Ada Unique Saloon – shared their knowledge, skills and experience with attendees via practical step by step demonstrations.
It was a great – maiden – outing on Saturday 1st May 2021 at Ada Unique Saloon’s No. 5 Akinremi Street, Anifowoshe -Ikeja, Lagos premises.
This VIDEO (see below) features highlights from the LIVE event and is in 7 parts:
This PUNCH Newspaper headline [Reps approve compulsory vocational studies in secondary school] is proof that we’re winning – at least on THIS front, and at long last too.
Only a few weeks ago, I attended a follow up meeting with senior officials at the Ministry of Education, who had invited the Chairman of the State Parents Forum to discuss with me.

This video trailer features:
1. Highlight photos and a video clip from the 1st practice session done – on Tuesday 27th April 2021 – by the girls with their Mentor, the CEO of ADA UNIQUE SALOON located at No. 5 Akinriade Street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja, Lagos.
2. Subtitled playback of a recorded phone Conversation, 2 days later, on 29th April – when Ada spoke with Temi after seeing photos of the 2nd practice session done by the girls at home.
Temiloluwa (15) and Oluomachukwu (12) started learning hairstyling with doll heads in 2018 as apprentices, then moved on to styling one another’s hair, and today are able to style client’s hair to get paid.
It’s not been easy to get them this far. We have had to deal with various challenges – some from the most unexpected quarters, but the girls’ love and undying passion for hairstyling has really helped to keep them on track.
After yet another challenge had kept them from hairstyling practice, from mid-2020 right into April 2021, I finally settled on an Action Plan to implement my idea of getting them invited to host a coaching clinic.
When Samuel, the CEO of SACAJ COMPANY NIGERIA LIMITED (where I do my magazine printing) learned I was looking for a saloon to partner with to host the girls’ maiden coaching clinic, he immediately recommended Ada Unique Saloon – noting that he was personally aware of at least ten kids she’d trained in the past.
By the time I met and spoke with the CEO of the saloon (i.e Ada), sharing the vision I had for my girls, and explaining the unique challenges they’ve faced since they began learning from back in 2018, I could see her passion driven interest was triggered.
Not surprisingly, when she met the girls on Tuesday (27th April 2021) for the first time she did not hold back. In less than an hour, she’d taken them through the steps required to create amazingly beautiful, yet low cost hairstyles using simple, commonly available tools.
My girls went home excited, and two days later produced photos (and videos – which will be posted later) showing they really grabbed it!
Ada was very impressed – and as you will hear in the second half of this video, commended them during the phone conversation she had with ‘Temi.
Tomorrow (i.e. Saturday 1st May 2021) is the Big Day for their first ever mobile “FREE BASIC HAIRSTYLING CLINIC FOR KIDS” (8 TO 15 YEARS).
They will be demonstrating to attendees who have already pre-registered (ages from 6 to 16) using the techniques they were coached on by Ada, in conjunction with braiding skills they already have from years of practice.
We are ALL excited & looking forward to a great outing.
Full videos and photos from start to finish will be uploaded to their own YouTube channel, which I will setup after the training.
The videos and photos will also be posted in a blog on http://www.temiandoluoma.com [Sisters With Skills]
