Hi everyone, this is a late post, but I must do it. I saw the movie October 1st last week and I thought to review it. Kunle Afolayan’s movies leaves you with answers and yet more questions, so I decided to do an in depth research which gave me a better understanding of our independence here in Nigeria, thanks to the movie October 1st. I bet most people don't even know the real story, only the surviving heroes and our founding fathers most of which have gone to their great beyond can tell the story, thanks to History, hence the movie OCTOBER 1st .

Cheers to the weekend peeps, hope you all have had a great week and getting ready to unwind this weekend? Let down your hair, cool your head, have an open mind and get ready to unwind. Looking for what to wear this weekend? A  shirtdress  is a style of  dress  which borrows details from a man's  shirt . These can include a  collar , a button front , or cuffed sleeves . Often, these dresses are made up in crisp fabrics like cotton  or silk , much like a man's dress shirt  would be. As they are typically cut without a seam  at the waist, these dresses often have a looser fit, usually relying on a belt  to define the waist.
