PRCAN Offers to Help FG Burnish Nigeria’s Image
By Dipo Olowookere
It is no news that the image of Nigeria on the global scene is not one can be proud of as a result of involvement of few citizens of the giant of Africa in fraud and corrupt practices.
But one group that is ready to change the wrong perception some global citizens have about Nigeria is the Public Relations Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (PRCAN).
The organization, through its newly elected president, Mr Israel Jaiye Opayemi, who is also the Managing Director/Chief Strategist of Chain Reactions Nigeria, said it was ready to assist federal government work on the image of the country on the international scene if given a chance.
Speaking after he was elected for a two-year term in office on Friday, September 6, 2019 at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of PRCAN in Lagos, Mr Opayemi said he was worried at the harsh treatment Nigerians were subjected to outside the country because of the sins of few persons.
Commenting specifically on the recent grand jury indictment of 77 Nigerians for alleged involvement in online fraud schemes in the United States, the brand expert said what Nigeria needed was a robust response strategy and campaign plan, and not knee-jerk reactions from several government spokespersons.
The new PRCAN President explained that the FBI investigation and subsequent indictment has further sullied Nigeria’s brand reputation and that the association was in the best position to help.
“The truth is, a narrative has been created about us as Nigerians. A wrong perception with its attendant generalisation has also been created. Not a few Nigerians have cancelled their planned trips to the United States for fear of the horrible treatment they will be subjected to by the United States Immigration.
“The PRCAN leadership takes the view that rather than engage in the needless game of blaming the government for the character of its response to this issue, we on this occasion offer the professional assistance of our member-firms to the Federal Government at a time like this,” Mr Opayemi said.
According to him, “In times like this, governments the world over would rely on the professional advice and expertise of practitioners who are not in any short supply within the Nigerian Public Relations community to help craft a response strategy and a campaign plan to manage the narrative and shape the perception. This has not been the case here.
“The situation at hand does not call for hasty rebuttal press releases. This is not a time for too many government officials to be speaking on this vexatious subject. This requires a strategy! This is what our members can offer the Nigerian government at a time like this. We missed the timing to tell the story of the rare exceptionalism of our people, but we must never miss this opportunity,” he added.
The PRCAN chief advised President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to tell the authentic Nigerian story and to let the world know that we are not all fraudsters as Nigerians citizens are being erroneously portrayed.
“It is incumbent on us to tell the world, that the reality of our case is that, it is #NotAllOfUs. Not all of us are fraudsters. This is the country of origin of Aliko Dangote, Dr. Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola, Wale Tinubu, Anthony Joshua, Professor Wole Soyinka and Chimamanda Adichie.
“Let us remind the world that the immortal Chinua Achebe was from amongst us. This is the time to remind the world that this is the country of Ayodeji Balogun aka Whizkid and Innocent Idibia aka Tuface Idibia.
“This is the time to tell the world that this is the land that produced legendary Olu Jacobs and Pete Edochie. Never must the world forget that Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde of Nollywood; Alex Iwobi of Everton, Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City, Victor Osimhem of Lille are from this great nation. Let us remind them that this is the country of origin of Texas-based Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, who shocked the world with a rare surgical feat by operating on an unborn child who had tumour right from the womb. Dr. Olutoye removed the tumour, restored the foetus to the mother’s womb. He exemplifies the story of our exceptionalism,” he said.
Earlier in his valedictory speech, the immediate past President of PRCAN, Mr John Ehiguese, highlighted quackery and non-compliance with set standards as top among the challenges faced by the PR industry in Nigeria, stating that the onus is on PR professionals to come together to stem the tide.
He stated that during his tenure, the leadership fostered a better relationship with the national body, NIPR; raised industry compliance and enforcement; secured the re-admission of PRCAN into the membership of International Communications Consultancy Organisation (ICCO), ensured regular hosting of the PRCAN MasterClass series, PRCAN Breakfast Meetings as well as the PRCAN Gold Medal Lectures amongst others.
Business Post reports that other members of the executives who will be steering the affairs of PRCAN with Mr Opayemi over the next two years are Mr Adedayo Ojo (Vice President); Mrs Tokunbo George-Taylor (Secretary General); Ms Martha Okpeke (Assistant Secretary General); Mr Bolaji Abimbola (Publicity Secretary), and Mr Raheem Olabode (Treasurer).

Fringe Wigs Now Available at Twinkles Beauty
Twinkles Beauty has added fringe wigs to its catalogue, bringing one of the most directional styles in contemporary hair fashion to its growing international customer base. The launch positions the brand to meet demand for a look that has moved steadily from editorial runways into everyday wardrobes, earning a permanent place among the styles modern women return to consistently.
The fringe wig delivers something that most other wig styles do not: an instant change to the entire aura of the face. A well-constructed fringe alters the visual proportion of the forehead, draws attention to the eyes, and produces a finish that reads as intentional and precise. Unlike the bone straight wig, which leads with length and sleekness, or the body wave unit, which leads with movement and texture, the fringe wig leads with structure at the very front of the style. It is a design decision that changes everything about how a look is perceived, and it is why the fringe has maintained its relevance across decades of changing fashion without ever feeling dated.
Twinkles Beauty was founded with a clear commercial mandate: make premium human hair accessible to women who have historically been underserved by international pricing structures and inconsistent quality standards. The brand has built its operational foundation across Nigeria & Ghana before extending its delivery network to customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and multiple additional international markets.
Every product in the Twinkles Beauty catalogue, from its frontal wigs to its precision-cut bob units and glueless options designed for everyday wear, is held to the same sourcing and construction standard regardless of the length or style category it falls under.
The fringe wig collection enters that catalogue with the same expectation. Units are constructed from premium human hair, with lace options that blend against a range of skin tones and cap architecture built for secure, comfortable wear. The collection covers multiple length options, meaning a customer who prefers the clean, above-the-shoulder finish of a shorter fringe unit and one who wants the same style at a longer, more dramatic length are both accommodated within the same launch. The fringe detail is consistent across lengths, delivering the defining characteristic of the style at every size available.
The addition reflects a pattern that has defined how Twinkles Beauty has grown its catalogue over time. New collections are introduced in direct response to what the brand’s customer base is purchasing and requesting, not simply in response to broad market trends. This intentional design means the store covers the full range of what a woman shopping for premium human hair actually wants. The collection spans from the ultra-sleek finishes that bone straight and HD lace units provide, to the textured, high-volume options that deep wave and curly units deliver, and now to the sharp, face-framing precision that the fringe collection brings.

Choose Milk Campaign: FG, Others Urge Nigerians to Prioritise Real Milk for Healthier Families
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
Nigerians have been advised to prioritise the consumption of real milk, not creamer, because of its nutritional value.
This piece of advice was given by the federal government and some of its partners at the launch of the Choose Milk Campaign in Lagos.
This is a strategic national initiative focused on helping Nigerian households make informed dairy choices by strengthening consumer education and awareness on the nutritional benefits of milk and the differences between real milk and creamers.
According to the Senior Project Manager from the Danish Dairy Board, Mr Lars Jensen, the initiative seeks to address widespread misconceptions about dairy consumption while drawing a clear distinction between dairy milk and creamers commonly found in the Nigerian market.
He said at the unveiling that, “Not all products marketed within the dairy category deliver the same nutritional value,” noting that, “It is important for consumers to understand that creamers do not offer the key nutrients found in dairy milk. This campaign is about clarity, transparency, and better health outcomes.
“We are taking this message directly to communities, schools and nutrition advocates because education at the grassroots level is key to driving lasting behavioural change,” he added.
Also speaking, the Danish Consul General to Nigeria, Ms Jette Bjerrum, emphasised the importance of stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors in driving nutrition awareness and improving health outcomes.
She noted that sustainable progress in nutrition education and dairy development can only be achieved through partnerships among governments, healthcare institutions, development organisations, and responsible industry stakeholders.
Echoing this call for collaboration and shared responsibility in improving nutrition outcomes was the Minister of Livestock Development, Mr Idi Mukhtar Maiha, who, in a video message played during the event, commended the initiative and reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to improving nutrition and strengthening the dairy sector in Nigeria.
“This ‘Choose Milk’ campaign strongly aligns with the Ministry’s objectives to improve national nutrition, promote sustainable dairy consumption, and strengthen the local dairy value chain,” he said. “By encouraging Nigerians to prioritise dairy milk, we are taking a significant step towards building a healthier and more food-secure nation.”
In her remarks, the Director of Food and Drugs Services of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Mrs Olufowolabi-Yusuf Adeola, described the campaign as timely and aligned with the federal government’s broader efforts to tackle malnutrition and improve nutrition outcomes across the country.
“Nutrition remains one of the most important public health priorities for any nation seeking sustainable growth and development. Consumers are faced with numerous food options and varied information about nutrition.
“Therefore, people must understand what to consume, why it matters, and how it contributes to their health and well-being. Campaigns like this help bring the nutrition literacy gap by empowering consumers with accurate information that enables them to make informed dietary choices for themselves and their entire families,” she stated.
The Choose Milk Campaign is expected to run for three years, driving sustained nationwide awareness efforts designed to help Nigerian consumers better understand authentic dairy products and make informed nutritional decisions that support healthier families and communities.
The campaign will reach consumers across the country through community engagement initiatives, school educational sessions, social media campaigns, TV and radio awareness programmes, and other public education activities.
The launch was attended by several personalities, including Funke Akindele, Dr Ayodele Renner (Noisy Naija Paediatrician), several senior government officials, respected media personalities, digital creators, and lifestyle influencers.
