occasionally, a PR Executive's life takes me to places that are sometimes wierd and sometimes wonderful. i come across things that the general public does not, possibly becos i am always on the look out. in recent days,i have been off the desk and more on the streets, building the brand and keeping up the hustle. i made a few discoveries and as is my way,im gonna share.....
ABUJA'S BEST KEPT SECRETS
JB'S BAR AND GRILL
its funny this place has been in existence for more than a year, but i only just went by on saturday when i attended a ' tea party ' for the fashion house ICONOLA. the decor is cool and fun, the ambience is comfortable and warm and you can just sit and relax, its a very unpretentious place. if u r one of those people who likes to have a quiet drink after work or have a me and u time with your pathner,then this is the place for u. but if u are a see and be seen type, pls stick with british council.
CELEBRATIONS(WHITE HOUSE)
i love creativity, love it love it. so when i have to give a card for a birthday or to say goodbye or sorry or.... i like to be able to say what i want to say and how i want to say it. thats why i loooove this store, they have the best cards in abuja, as a matter of fact, they have cards my dad use to give my mom in the past(i know becos one of the ones i gave her brought tears to her eyes). they have other cool stuff but their cards are totally awesome.
CHOCOLATE PLACE(DUNES)
ok i dont have a sweet tooth. ive had 4 of my teeth removed and i believe my sweet tooth was taken out .even when i go to watch a movie,i order plain or salty popcorn, i hate candy, i hate icecream and bisciuts annoy the hell out of me, but but but, when u taste this choc which luckily u can buy in grams and measures, then my friends, need i say more...
JESSE JAGS
uuuuhhhh 'baby let me serenade u with effizi". if he wasnt so young i would be chasing this talented swaggerlicious abuja sensation with a bunch of pink roses from celebration stores and chocolate from choc place. but he already has enough chocolate, he has got the choc boys behind him and we know, yes we know that jesse jags is the next big thing coming out of abuja. jesse jay today, babay u too fine oh, boy u blow our mindz ohhh...
No.5 CHICKEN WINGS
im a chicken lover. i can eat chicken for breakfast lunch and dinner, 5 days a week. its that bad, ive had all types of chicken, all, ok maybe except raw chicken(thAt will be wierd). well if you appreciate good food and u are a chicken addict like me, then i sure reccomend.
EDEN V.I.P
if i say too much people will say ehen ij is marketing, but make no mistake, i only talk about cool places and honestly Eden VIP, coooooooollllll..
SOUNDCITY 327 ON DSTV
even now as i write this post im watching one of the hottest songs rite now on the channel. what i like most about this channel is that it can rival any channel on dstv, both music and otherwise, and i love the way they promote the nigerian music/entertainment industry. kudos to the chief executive officer of soundcity, his vision, insight, drive and discipline has paid off and we all are reaping the fruits of this forward thinking young sir.
TECHNOLOGY ADVISORS
ok the most i know about law, ive learnt from boston legal, but a law firm that is not called OBI OLUNI & CO is new to me. they specialize in technology law and i discovered them when i decided to take white rabbit concept on line. people are doing fantastic things in this country albiet quietly and we have to recognise, encourage and support them.
UTAKO/JABI
we pay a premium to live in abuja. every one want to live in wuse but 'iji kwe EGO"? as my friend will say..... maitama and asokoro have lovely houses, clean straight streets, but im sorry to break it to you, asokoro is saturated and has narrow streets and maitama is so 2000&late. if u drive through utako and jabi, the lovely houses that have sprung up in that area will put those 1990 architecture houses in maitama and asokoro to shame. there is even a plot of land by jabi lake im eyeing and i will be accepting contributions at this time to purchase it and build my dream house, offers any one????
P.S - there are a couple of other places and things i have discovered but as is my way, im writing this post by 1am and my brain is shutting down for the night, will update as i remember.
if by any chance you would like to check out any of this places or need more info, feel free to call, txt,tweet or email me.
i am the white rabbit.........

PATRICK Too...
AWWW Patrick Swayze. i remember you. from when i was a child in kano, sneaking with my siblings to watch dirty dancing and uhhhhh ghost. you introduced me to the gorgeous DEMI MOORE and fantastic WHOOPI GOLDBERG. i learnt about betrayal from ghost and rebelliousness( and summer fling) from dirty dancing, that is still one of the sexiest movies i have ever watched. you were handsome patrick, oh yes you were... i remember back in unical when my girls (nkiru, kate.gilda,effiowan,preye etc) and 1 use to have horror movie nights, we picked Ghost as a scary movie but spent the whole night staring at your sexiness and wishing we could have love like the one btw u and demi moOre, some horror movie,lol.
i heard about your fight with cancer, a while ago, didnt take much noticE then, the mistake we always make till we hear that the person is gone. im sorry it took you so early, but i reckon you are in a better place, no pain, no grieF, dining with ppul who went there before you.
im impressed by your Bio, nobody makes a big deal about marriages in hollywood that last long, but you were married to your wife for 30 years, and your father was at your side when you died - such a close family unit, but ITS unfortunate he has to bury you, God grant him and your dear mom fortitude.
Micheal jackson died, farrah died, even my hero Gani died and i did not write about it, but i know there wont be a media frenzy about your death, even face book and twitter is still silent about it, but i am moved because its you patrick, iM moved because even as a child i watched your movies and took something away. REST IN PEACE, PATRICK.
P.S - LOS ANGELES, California- Patrick Swayze, whose good looks and sympathetic performances in films such as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" made him a romantic idol to millions, died Monday. He was 57. Swayze died of pancreatic cancer, his publicist, Annett Wolf, told CNN.

LEST WE FORGET
I went to bed early last night for two reasons. 1. I had the grandfather of all headaches 2. So I could wake up early enough for morning mass. I woke up late, with the headache still throbbing and to discover that the car had been blocked by canopies but up by one of my neighbours for some kind of celebration which I knew nothing about. I decided, since I was up early, let me do some real cleaning up around the house starting from the living room. The party had started downstairs and they were playing very loud Yoruba music so I tuned my home theatre to kiss fm and raised it to the loudest volume ready to listen to some good music.
Nothing prepares you for the encounter I had.
I have been so busy chasing my dream, building my company, making friends and expanding my network, facebooking, websurfing, developing concepts, selling products and services and products, hanging out etc that I completely forgot the one who made it possible in the first place. For five minutes I listened to the most gut-wrenching testimony I have ever heard in my entire life and instantly I asked God to forgive my neglect and self-centeredness.
I didn’t even catch the name of the singer who gave the testimony but I guess the reason It touch me so much was because somehow I could relate and I felt a form of empathy. In a nutshell, ‘her grandma taught her about God and the bible and told her one Day God will use her. When she was 11 her family moved to LA leaving her grand ma behind. By 13 she was in the clubs, by 16 she was a single parent. At 14 she had her first hit single and stated touring the US with music greats. She was introduced to drugs, alcohol, promiscuity and all the ill associated with the world of entertainment. She craved the fame and lived off the bright lights and cocaine was her best and only friend and her live-in lover was a dealer. One day she walked straight into a wall, hit her head and started sliding down and her mind told her this was it. At this point the talking ended and she started singing, but one thing she kept saying throughout the testimony was ‘grandma never stopped praying’.
I am alot of things to alot of people. Daughter, sister, bestfriend, friend, colleague, CEO, white rabbit, PR exec, partner, associate etc and I see the glamour associated with the business and I see the bright light that blind, approaching, but as Cobham’s raps ‘this is not about me’.
I am no preacher; I am not even in a place spiritually where I can give any kind of advice but I have this to say today,’ do not forget God in anything you do’. He makes everything possible, and most especially he keeps you safe. If you have a friend or brother or colleague that you see is going astray, please don’t stop putting him in your prayers, it might be you keeping him safe, not luck nor fluke. And please put me in your prayers too.
Dear lord,
As you build up WR CONCEPT LTD with your knowing hands, bring with all the wealth and fame, humility. Help me to never forget that this is not about me, but to your honour and glory. Amen

08 08 - DETAILS IN WORDS
people are still asking how we did it, only two weeks to plan and we pulled off an amazing priemier event. it wasnt only WR concept premiering that evening, LOTANNA- an abuja based designer, presented her line for the first time on stage and the clothes were fantastic, she took the red carpet by storm at the begining and the models were flaming on the runway.Lotanna,whose line comprises fashion forward ready to wear contemporary african designs , plans to move to Couture and more.
the 08 08 event red carpet started at exactly 6.30pm with teeming paparaazi (abuja top 25, spice tv, nta and our own photographe) were all there to take photographs of fashionistas and fashionistas sure did turn up.evry one was looking beautiful. it was a positive event for the abuja out going crowd that brought a lot of great people and groups together, and for us that coming together is what white rabbit concept is all about.
Elnathan had the 15 lovely models walking and struting to his poetry,which had a fusion of gothic and african to create lovely melody, performances from yoye and young uno-the numero uno recieved a huge amount of appreciation from the crowd which had built up from the start of the event. and also performing that evening was dj zeez of the oforcasibe (didnt spell that rite did i?)fame, abuja loved him and he totalled loved the crowd appreciation. at this point i must confess that i indulged a secret fantasy when we invited chocolate citys jesse jags as headliner for the night and he got every one squealing with delight. he even made alot of guest including a member of the internation community get up on their feet to party like its 1999. thanks jags, you made our nite...
white rabbit concept exist as a PR firm and we always look for new ways to create mileage for our clients and our teeming assiociates. every establishment that was involved in the event was able to showcase their goods and services to a crowd of abuja people that didnt know they even existed but were happy with the information. all our designers went home with orders, inspector gadget stors will definately be getting visitors and c&c collection will be clothing abujas finest for years and years to come.
i missed alot of the performances, since i was back stage, but fortunately for me i had watched the storyteller perform before, but he is new everytime he gets on stage, a guest exclaimed'where did they find this people'. story teller just goes to emphasis the point that we have great talent in this country,he was wonderful. he performed along side bem sar, whose guiter strumming was sooooooooooo koooooooool. BOI came all the was from lagos to showcase his glamour line and the models were excited to look so glamourous.
special thanks to Gang(our compere for the evening),lotanna,kejie of cyreene makeup lounge,alhassan mohammed,sam of BOI,dooshima of inspector gadget store,emeka of c&c collections,adegbe ogbeh of 1number,ulabi agba,bill uko,alkasim abulkadir,leslie emegbuonye and the entire white rabbit concept team.
