A U G U S T - The Month of New Beginnings

Hey reader!
A very not so late 'Happy New Year' to you and you and you.  At least, it feels like my year just hit the reset button again, and thankfully, August is the month of new beginnings.

Here are some pictures from maiden edition of The Evolving Woman 2016, hosted by Oladoyin Taiwo and moderated by me.

Yes, it is true. I authored my first self-help book, The Journey To Your Personal Transformation: Your Own Workbook, at a private ceremony held at Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotels, Lagos Nigeria.  And it is also true that we sold out in less than 3 hours. And in addition to that, we also screened my first short film - More Than A Woman - to our select guests.

Here is the link to full movie: You can WATCH IT HERE, and below are pictures from the June 12 official launch ceremony.

Kindly leave me a comment, would be happy to read from you.

Private Birthday Dinner with Dami.

So less than a week ago, Dami turned 25 and I treated her to a very informal private dinner.  The evening was perfect with so much to laugh about and catch up on since she returned from her brief business trip.

We managed to have some serious talks over our gourmet meal to discuss work, business opportunities, strategies ongoing but most of the rest of the time, we were sharing the loudest hearty laughs, enjoying fun conversations, teasing our waiter, and turning him to our personal photographer for the evening. I am sure he too had a great evening.

Dreg Waters Petroleum at the 22nd Africa Oil Week Conference, Capetown, South Africa.

As industry leaders in the oil and gas sector gathered at the 22nd Anniversary Africa Oil Week/Africa Upstream Conference, Chief Executive Officer, Dreg Waters Petroleum and Logistics Limited, Damilola Owolabi has said that the continent must look forward to value-adding services to survive in the face of dwindling commodity prices.

   Speaking at the conference held in Capetown, South Africa, Owolabi stressed that the sector must focus on delivering services that would further promote oil and gas business in Africa.

   She said, “My firm is privileged to participate fully in an event of such global reputation alongside several industry giants across the globe. It is glaring from recent development in the sector that only value-addition services can make Africa measure up in the global market.

    In line with our vision to deliver only benchmark value-adding business services in the onshore, offshore and marine industries in Nigeria, being actively participative in an event as this with multiple prospects is a necessity for us and a step in forward direction.”

    She explains that her clients rely on her organisation to offer timely delivery of licenses and permits, “Nigeria needs the right documentation and timely approvals of licenses and permits in the petroleum, water dredging and logistics industry and as an organisation, we are committed to making business swifter for the sector”, Owolabi added.

   The event, which was held in joint venture (JV) with ITE Group Plc was conducted by Global Pacific & Partners to address key oil and gas issues affecting the continent by engaging senior industry delegates in a range of networking proceedings.

 The event saw in attendance about 40 Governments with African national oil companies, licensing agencies, most senior-level executives and corporate delegates of oil and gas companies around the world, state oil officials and about 140 exhibitors.
