HIGH PRAISE,HIGH FASHIONISTAS!




This is my novel attempt through a social media (apart from Facebook of course), though a bit of nerve, I trust myself to do a good job at it because it is something I have always wanted to do for a very long time. Perhaps, this journey will lead down to the road of bestsellers authors. (AMEN!!).

Come with me on my first topic titled "High Praise, High Fashionistas"; the link between the two, you will very soon find out.

A song writer once wrote in one of his songs about God and I quote "Praise looks good on you'-Don Moen.
So what has praise and fashion got to do together? Having a sister who from an early age has said time and time over that' I will become an Iya Oge (Female custodian of fashion) in the future; she is very well on her way there as she is now a big Fashion designer in England. You can visit BB Sule  pg.13-14 to read a bit more about her style.

Now back to when we were younger, she kind of challenged me as I struggled to catch up with this very beautiful, fashion conscious and fashion trending sister of mine. I must say that many years after, I'm not doing so badly myself these days.

I have also seen fashion evolve, transform, metamorphose on all fronts, from hairdos of Afros in the '70s, to the tubular styles in the '80s, the epic styles of the '90s (when Anita Baker haircuts reigned in naija circles). Or do we talk of the Oleku attires (3/4 length Iro &Buba-a western African dressing), or the wide leg hot pants worn by men in those days. For the just weaned teens and young adults, please ask grandmas what grandpa wore on his first visit to her place...lol.

Men and women have always sought to look good, some women have even driven their husbands to the cliffs to buy them or give money for that latest 'outfit in town' just to look their best or outdo their so called fashionista friend.

However, from my short experience, I have discovered a form of garment or style that has constantly remained in fashion and that is PRAISE, whether it be praises to men of 'timber and calibre (naija -Nigerians peeps will understand) when they are been praised by a famous Juju maestro or what i call the Highest praise, which is no doubt praises to God the almighty, my Father, my zillionaire daddy, the richest of all, that kind of praise just never goes out of fashion.

It is highly consistent, incontestable and unchallenged. The Psalmist praised Him like this in Psalm 102:25-27 that at the beginning you existed and the laid the foundations of heaven and the earth, which are your handiwork and though these will perish and become old like a garment, like clothing you shall change them...... but you oh God remain the same and your years have no end. Now, this is what I am talking about; praise consistently in fashion.

To all my great fashionistas out there, I call you on board to put on your garment of praise, it is affordable, beautiful and easy to create-just pour out heart and open your lips and let us praise His name together.

I couldn't think of a better way to start blogging but to just praise His name and extol him for after all He is my all-time zillionaire father and with Him (Mo yo bi ojo-I come out looking new).

A little gift awaits the best praise eulogy/writing by any of our readers- this will be adjudged by the judges on the blog panel. Once again, I WELCOME YOU to the HOT LOVE blog.

My next topic, hmm can't wait, title? -WHAT'S IN THIS MARRIAGE THING SEF!

See you in a fortnight, in two weeks or in 14 days’ time.

In the mean time,don't be naughty.

Hey Kike,
This is so awesome, especially since it's something you always wanted to do. Congrats on your new blog!! Nice article. I read your article 2 mins after I turned my TV off in disgust at the TV shows content - so good timing. True talk, high praise can never go out style. Looking forward to more articles.
