No Comments Leather Tannery in Kano Nigeria
The city of Kano in Northern Nigeria is the largest commercial hub for the leather industry. The tanneries in Kano are bustling with activity as men work on hides and various skins for brands the world over. These traditional tanneries are Nigeria’s oldest and they are also the biggest suppliers of local leather.
However, the Kano leather industry’s reach is far beyond what we could have imagined. It seems Nigeria’s northern city is the supplier for some of the most prolific brands around the world including Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
These innocuous- looking tanneries are the driving force of a profitable leather industry. They and their products keep hundreds of thousands of people in gainful employment and feed a sector of the fashion industry which is quite literally wor...

No Comments Dear Mary
Dear Mary,
My husband has started to come back late after work. He gives me all sorts of excuses as to why he must work late. I suspect that my husband is having an affair with someone at work. Please advise me how to approach the problem without getting a detective agency involved.
Dear precious one,
This must be a very difficult situation for you. The gut feeling you are likely experiencing is your intuition alerting you to take notice of something!
The important point here is that you do not yet know for certain what that ‘something’ is. I believe that you have some choices to make. But you may have to decide whether you are willing to accept the consequences of whatever you decide to do.

Kenya and Tanzania have set December as the target time when the two neighbouring countries will have resolved most of the non-tariff barriers affecting cross-border trade
