sorry, sorry, sorry! I jumped the gun a bit. Just read through your other posts and got the information I just requested. so ignore my last comment. :-)
I can't wait to go back to Naija now that I've seen these pictures. I will never be able to afford but its nice to know you can go window shopping in somewhere other than Alade and Tej.
anonymous thats exactly what I was thinking. For many of us who have yet to leave Nigeria, places like The Palm is a window to another world that is possible albeit it excessive consumption and affluence amidsts much misery and penury.
The first time I went to that shop - Bola 33, I couldn't believe that people exist in Nigeria that could afford such jewellery. I have often thought that most of the beads society women wear are fake - can't believe yhey are for real. Apparently she designs and makes them herself - they are simply gorgeous. I absolutely love the craftsmanship - on Nigerian soil. things are changing.
