Nigeria has won the rights to host the 9th edition of Miss Heritage Global, a global event to showcase its culture and rich heritage to the world.
The President of Entertainment Economic Africa Group, Alhaji Musa Ibrahim Mantu, announced this at a news briefing Monday in Abuja,
He said Nigeria was able to secure the hosting rights in spite of fierce lobbying by countries like Vietnam, Russia and others who saw the economic potentials in hosting the money-spinning event in Abuja.
Mantu said the event is a 10-day event starting from 30th September when the Economic Summit will take place, which will serve as a prelude to the global event, then meetings with ambassadors of participating countries which would culminate in the coronation of the winner on the last day.
The costume design throughout “Small Axe,” a collection of five films directed by Steve McQueen that depicts British West Indian life during a certain time, is a mosaic of precision details. Ordinary garments, to the untrained eye are, indeed, brilliant artifacts of West Indian expression. Watch the episodes with the wardrobe in mind, and you’ll notice vibrant, bespoke personal style hiding in the seams. An A-line dress becomes more than a dress after we learn that a young woman made it by hand; a polyester robe decorated with a pattern like stained glass becomes a mantle when a don wears it. “What is key is that everyone is about a certain style and way of doing things,” McQueen said. “If you look through all of the episodes, it’s not just in the clothes; it’s all a style. It’s not just what you do, it’s the way that you do it.”
