How do you know you’re really doing this adulting thing? (Apart from your mum never paying you back for the bread and eggs she asked you to buy on your way home from work.) When you finally move into your own space. Are we right or are we right? Few pleasures are as heady as […]

We love women. It’s just how it is with us. Now, women in business? Count us in, take our cards, the whole shebang. According to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), 41% of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Nigeria are women-owned – that’s 23 million women.
