Nigeria We Hail Thee...........






For many years I have dreamt of doing business in my Mother's Land. But what am I to do? Follow in my Father's footsteps and work in property? Follow the droves of people over the cliff trying to get a contract in oil, gas, cement or something? Nahhhhhhhhhh ......a great woman once told me - stick to what you know Babs and that will make you and yours Stars! So I took her advice: pitched to the UK Trade and Investments Export Market Research Scheme to evaluate EMC3's point of entry in Nigeria for Events, Marketing,Concierge, Creative Experiences & Conferences.Thank you UK ....I love you and I 'm loving your work.Thank you for the grant!
Nigeria is in a state of flux....whether to expand or get hit by the credit crunch.So much money,industry,bamking and development. Yes development- I commend you Governor Of Lagos Babatunde Raji Fshola for your efforts and progress.Now all you need is someone like me to represent you here in London!! Thy will be done....Thank you also Kofo M, Shoni, Yemi F, Alhaji O, Mrs A, Kola, Aunty Shade and Fauzi for all your Love x

What great variety of food and wine we had there . Thank you Lisa Marshall & the Baglioni Team. Will be sad to see Luca Vigilio go . But we'll see you in Monte Carlo Amico .
In these precarious times very important to gee up the Staff. Got a tad messy at the end though , 12 lemoncellos later we ended up at Electric . Well it was my fault :-)

My Birthday week should be interesting ...... lots more business would be a nice gift ;-)

Comedy Night





Our comedy acts agent Dan really put on a great show on last wednesday . His acts had Alistair & I crying with laughter at his Dinner Function at the Marriot Hotel . Even funnier was to see Alistair the brunt of every other joke ...tee hee. Yes they were too scared to pick on me :-) One even said I had kind eyes and if I was to glass him I would probably only use a 1/2 pint glass. Especially funny was the Jack Black look-a-like . Thank you Maria ...... x
