ORIKI’s WORLD- UNBRIDLED

Tosin Doherty the creative designer behind the ORIKI label offers an insightful, exciting twist to the term fashion.
An upwardly mobile executive, ORIKI is modelled after her experiences and as such the Brand caters to the working woman who refuses to be inhibited by the wiles of fashion and glamour. With the UNBRIDLED collection, Tosin unearths a piece that strays from the path well trodden; an entire collection that reeks of functionality, one that speaks of simplicity being the new elegance.
The UNBRIDLED collection is a delightful cross between functionality and elegance as the timeless pieces are designed to suit the quintessential woman’s tastes and made to match a variety of usages and multi-purpose events. Whether it is a meeting with a business Client, a visit to the market or a moment of enraptured bliss with the spouse, the ORIKI woman is guaranteed a look that appeals to the fashionista within.
In the UNBRIDLED collection, Tosin Doherty expresses her artistic prowess with rich denim, Ankara and linen fabric with sprinkles of sparse embellishments which exudes the appropriate amount of glamour. The collection is created for the woman who wants to soar, for that special woman who refuses to be restricted by the fangs of glamour and this is why the collection is made to suit multiple desires.

For Adewopo Adebambo, it is goodbye to the Nigeria Copyrights Commission (NCC) after years of handling the affairs of the government parastatal as  Director General.

Gistmaster.com gathered that Adebambo, a lawyer was relieved of his position yesterday (8 December 2010). We gathered it may not have been unconnected with the recent controversies sorrounding the granting of Collecting Society of Nigeria (COSON) led by Mr. Tony Okoroji the license as the sole collecting society in Nigeria. The Musical Society of Nigeria (MCSN) led by Mayo Ayilaran and Orits Wiliki protested what they call unfair treatment as they were allowed to operate. They said they met all the requirement and were already in existent. MCSN also said it has been paying royalties to musicians before that time citing the lieks of King Sunny Ade, K1 the Ultimate, Tuface Idibia and others as example.

The protest, which was led by Charly Boy, Tee Marc, Kenny Ogungbe (of Primetime Entertainment and Kennis Music) was staged to the office of NCC at the Federal Secretariat Abuja. Protesters later matched to the office of Mr. Adoke (SAN) the Minister of Justice and Attoney General of the Federation. The minister promised to look into the issue and proffer the right solution to the issue on ground.
