Travel / “Travel Photography Brings Different Parts Of The World To You” – Eti-inyene by NTravelpack: 5:32pm On Jul 31, 2019
Eti Inyene is one out of many photographers in Nigeria who has taken Travel photography to another level. He is a photographer with a sweet spirit for photography as an art and simultaneously the executive director of the new photography movement in Nigeria, PhotoWaka. This movement was conceived out of his passion not just to remain a photographer but also an agent of change that can easily relate with the ordinary people and on their immediate environment.

In this interview with Nifty travel, Inyene shares his experience traveling with the lens and how much he has been able to give a voice and expression to his art even while capturing faces.






Can we meet you?

I am ETI-INYENE GODWIN AKPAN popularly known as SIR Inyene. I am a documentary photographer with a difference, and one who is very passionate about capacity building for budding photographers. I am also a certified counselor.

I am the Chief Executive Officer at the SIR Inyene Company. This is a media house located in Lagos, Nigeria. I am also the Founder and Executive Director of PhotoWaka Africa Development Initiative which is a social enterprise focused on youth empowerment, creativity, job creation and creating a sustainable value chain in the photography and creative space. The vision of PhotoWaka Africa is to develop professionally inclined, engaging and highly creative community of visual storytellers around Africa, with the bodacious mission of telling African stories through photography thereby using photography as a tool for social change. I am presently serving as the Lead Photographer for Social Good Lagos; a sub-community of the United Nations Foundation. I’m also a member of the African Photo Journalism Database (APJD) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

How much has Photography shown you to the world?


Through photography, I’ve been able to understand what empathy is and that no one is a stranger. I take pictures of people I don’t know and I’m able to connect with people on a deeper level. I’ve also been able to travel to places.

What excites you at the mention of a photography job outside your state?

First is the story behind the project. Their culture, food and the people. These are what excite me about going for jobs outside Lagos. It will as well interest you to know that I get to see something different every time I go to different places.

How do you communicate art to the ordinary people through photography?

For me, pictures speak more than a thousand words. I don’t just take pictures alone; I create images to connect with the person’s emotions. So even when an illiterate sees the pictures he or she can understand what it’s saying and can relate with it easily.

They say image speaks volume. How much have you proved this in your career since inception?


Like I said before all my pictures connects to the person’s emotions.

What do you consider as your most memorable moment traveling to know other culture even while you shoot?


I remember going for a project in Oyo and there was this morning I was taking a walk while taking random pictures. I saw this elderly that said; ooni ya mi (won’t you take me a picture?) And that touched me. As I was about to take the picture, she quickly used her wrapper to clean her face and it dawned on me that there’s a girl in every woman. She was so happy to take the picture.

In your words, how will you define Travel Photography?

I’d say travel photography is less about the place or location but more about the experiences the place gives. Travel photography brings different parts of the world to you even though you’re not there.

What makes a good travel Photographer?

It is first, how you see (perspective). It’s not about your camera but how you convey that mental picture into your camera for others to see. A good travel photographer should be sociable, quickly adapting to any new area or individuals and understanding their rules and culture. There was a time I went to the north to shoot in a Muslim school and I wore shorts, they didn’t let me enter to shoot because I had to be fully covered.


What other profession will you have taken if not photography?


I would go for psychology because I apply that to my photography as well.

One top notch professional you draw inspiration from in the industry.

I have many of them I draw inspiration foremost from God.

How do you backpack on any Photography job outside the state?


It depends on the kind of job and location. First I have my strap, then I take the necessary lens for the occasion so I can travel light, it’s important to travel light as photographers. Know the occasion you’re going for so you can take the necessary gadgets.

What is that challenging moment of yours while setting out as a photographer? How have you proved failure wrong?


First is getting the right clients that would be able to value the kind of work you do and pay for it. Expensive gadgets are also a challenge for a budding photographer.

Where is your best relaxation hub in Nigeria, Africa and in Europe? Which of the resort centers in Nigeria can you refer to as your delight?


In Lagos I’d say Epe resort, very lovely ambience. But for relaxation hubs in other continents, I have none but just countries that you love. I love Obudu in Calabar, Zanzibar in Africa and Paris in Europe.

What does Travel mean to you?

To me, travel is exploring, learning new ways of life and culture, therapy, and just seeing the world in new light whenever I’m in a new space.

What instituted the Photo Waka Movement? What is the big picture you envisioned or will Envision?

The PhotoWaka Africa movement started because I saw a problem in the photography industry and our society. As a documentary photographer, I got lots of questions from budding photographers about how I managed to go out to the streets and tell stories of the streets with my pictures. They told me that they would love to do the same but they were just too scared to bring their camera out on the street and weren’t bold enough to approach people. They were scared of the police, “agberos” and the likes. This made me to push out a photo walk for just 2 or 3 interested people. That same day, about 20 people showed interest and registered. In less than 3 days, they were more than 60 and this made me close down registration because they were much more than I even expected.

Travel / 5 Best Practices To Get Over Travel Sickness by NTravelpack: 9:41am On Jun 22, 2019
Have you ever had reasons to throw up in between a road trip or even experience dizziness amid an air trip? Yes what you‘ve just experienced is travel sickness otherwise called motion sickness.

Travel sickness might just be new to you but then it is real and it happens to people. Travel sickness is one awkward moment for travelers and it is generally aroused by vehicular movement of any sort. It is that sickness that researchers said first causes disturbance in the inner ear and later result into nausea, dizziness, vomiting etc.

It is an unintentional discomfort that accompanies travel. Researchers explained that motion is detected by the brain through different pathways of the nervous system which includes the eyes, the inner ear, and the tissues of the body surface. This further explains that when the body is moved intentionally, for example while walking, the response from all of the pathways is coordinated by our brain.

Medical news today explains that the symptom of travel sickness appears when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the sensory systems: the inner ear, eyes, skin pressure receptors, and the muscle and joint sensory receptors. For example, if someone is sat on a boat or in a car (not looking out of a window), their inner ears sense movement up and down, left and right, but their eyes see a static view, as if they are not moving at all. It is hypothesized that the conflict among the inputs is responsible for motion sickness.

Before we look at the possible solution to travel sickness, one constant remedy to it has always been the motion coming to a halt. It is confirmed that when motion stops the distress experienced comes to an end as well. Just as you know that this is not your usual medical blog, we will be looking at possible solutions to travel sickness.

1. Be careful what you eat before departure. Eating oily and greasy food before embarking on a trip can also be disturbing. When you consume food as this and motion toss you to and fro there is a possibility of you vomiting or having stomach upset.

2. Sleeping. With the help of your sleep mask, sleeping becomes easy and it brings a total calm to any possible nervous discomfort. Sleep helps to bring to rest conflict between your eyes and ears. As a matter of fact it is another easy way to remain refreshed till you alight at your destination.

3. Get fresh air. Fresh has been proven to help avert quite good numbers of the travel sickness you can think of. It generally helps to avert bad smells but also help bring calmness to your bodily system.


4. Try ginger candy. It has been reportedly said that hard Ginger candy helps avert nausea.

5. Chewing gum. By chewing gum, an uncanny effect is created and this effect reduction or total aversion of motion sickness when one is on motion. While gum chewing seems effective, other things can also be chewed like snacks etc.
Medications can also be used to stop and avert travel sickness. Other symptoms of travel sickness includes; sweating, drooling, pallor, short breath, incessant yawning, uneasiness.

Travel / I Confirm That Flying Is An Adventurous Job - Joy Ogbebo by NTravelpack: 10:03am On Jun 08, 2019
Even after she took a meritorious bow from her extensive decades of service in the Nigerian aviation industry most importantly after attaining her career peak as Head of Cabin and Inflight Services, Mrs. Joy Ogbebo remains a source of inspiration to the next generation of inflight cabin crew.

In this interview with the founder of Mamaj Aviation Consult Ltd,Mrs Joy Ogbebo unleashes to Nifty Travel pack her twenty-six years career as aviation professional in Nigeria and further into her career history explaining her thoughts on air travel in Nigeria. She further tells of her eventual career metamorphoses into developing other potential aviation professionals who could build up their career in the industry.



Can we meet the woman called Mamaj

My name is actually Joy Ogbebo. Mamaj is my nickname.

I studied Mass Communication at Delta State University and Social work at the University of Benin. I have also attended many Aviation courses within and outside of Nigeria.

I am a seasoned Aviation professional, an Aviation blogger, Aviation Career development advocate, mentor, Customer Relationship Manager, and project management. I am the founder of Mamaj Aviation Consult Limited. With over twenty-six years of experience in the Aviation industry, I am passionate about grooming the next generation of skilled Aviation professionals and preparing them for Aviation future. After spending almost three decades in the industry, this is my way of giving back to society; impacting on the next generation of Aviators,” Sending the elevator down”.

My Aviation Career started in 1992 with Okada Airlines as Cabin Crew. I then rose through the ranks until finally reaching the peak as Head of Cabin and Inflight Services. Other Airlines I have worked with are Associated Airlines, Virgin Nigeria and Discovery Airways.

I have a mentorship Academy and I am the convener of the Annual Aviation Career Conference and the Cabin Crew Fair whose aim and objectives are to introduce and mentor the next generation of aspiring aviation professionals on the much aviation career opportunities that exist. The events will also guide them on their career choice and help them identify the key skills, and create a platform for professionals and intending Aviators to connect and share knowledge.

I am the publisher of Mamaj Aviation blog, an online Aviation and Travel news platform. My mission is to create a one-stop shop for Aviation news and latest trends in this exciting industry, with the desire to change the narrative in the Aviation industry.



Why aviation? Why not script writing, presenting, journalism

The Aviation niche was naturally an attraction for me because over time I realized that, not much was heard about the Aviation industry from the media unless something negative happens. For example, a plane crash. Whenever it happened, there would be so much hype about it in the media. Based on my experience I knew there was so many positivities about the industry that was not being highlighted and I wanted to change that narrative around this industry. I wanted people to know that a lot is happening in this all-important and sensitive industry. A lot of Career Opportunities. We now have females flying as pilots and even taking commands. We have Pilots getting married to pilots and coping well. I just wanted to tell the story from within and project these positives.



Tell us about your career in the aviation industry of Nigeria with specifics.

I started my Aviation Career way back in 1992 as a Cabin Crew with Okada Airlines. I came through the ranks, as Cabin Crew, Purser, Crew Development Purser, Cabin Services Supervisor, Crew Line Manager, Line Trainer, Performance manager. I have also been into Customer Relationship Management, Assistant Cabin Services Manager, until finally rising to the peak, as the Head of Cabin and Inflight Services. Apart from Okada Airlines, I also worked in Associated Airlines, Virgin Nigeria Airways, and my last Airline was at Discovery Airways Limited.



What triggers your interest in aviation every time you wake up to a new day?

It’s my Passion. This is what drives me. Lol, interestingly, uptodate that is the industry I have spent all my working life. Twenty-six good years! Sometimes I pinch myself when asked how long I have been in the industry.

What does travel mean to you. How else can travel be well defined?

For me travel is fun and exciting. Travel gives you the opportunity to explore the world, meet new people, learn new things, be adventurous and off course relax. Traveling helps you connect with different people from different cultures, it provides you with the education you couldn’t have had from traditional school and overall, broaden your horizon. As they say, you haven’t really lived until you have traveled. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place. So travel is something I would recommend.



What is the inspiration behind the first ever, Cabin crew fair in Nigeria? What has been the testimony afterwards?

I always knew that at some point I will need to give back to society. In fact, blogging was an eye-opener. Over time, I realized that many young ones out there were contacting me. They all needed mentoring. I used to receive lots of overwhelming calls, Facebook Messenger chats, instagram, Facebook, Linkedin and whatsapp. They are either requesting for help for the job of a Cabin Crew or requesting for information as regards the Cabin Crew job in particular and Aviation Career. So I identified an information gap that needed to be closed. I also observed that there were no mentoring institutions where these young ones could be mentored. I knew it was not possible for me to respond to every request or chat with almost 10-20 people every day. Then it struck me that what I needed was a platform where I could reach out to a large number of people at the same time. That was why I started the Cabin Crew Fair. This conference is a Career initiative and an annual event which attracts many participants comprising aspiring next generation of Aviation professionals, Aviation Professionals, Government Agencies, and stakeholders, Schools, youth development agencies, Airlines, and Aviation training Organizations. The aim and objectives of the Fair is to promote relationship between Nigeria Cabin Crew and Crew from other part of the world, introduce and mentor aspiring next generation of Cabin Crew Professionals and participants on the Cabin crew career. It also will expose them to the opportunities that exist in the aviation industry, highlight the valuable and strategic role of Cabin Crew, introduce intending Cabin Crew to their career choice and help them identify the key skills. The fair has become a platform for professional and intending Cabin Crew to connect and share knowledge and celebrate and honor outstanding aviation professionals and stakeholders who have contributed immensely to the Cabin Crew Profession.

This year, we will host the 3rd edition. Interestingly, each year gets better. But I must confess that the first year was so challenging. Since it is a non-profit career initiative, the only ways I could fund it was to reach out to sponsors. Organizations are not quick to supporting initiatives that are career oriented or have not been tested. So it was so a bit frustrating. If I was not a resilient person, I would have backed out. I am happy I didn’t. If you ask me my biggest achievement so far, I would tell you it was hosting the first Cabin Crew Fair in Nigeria was the highest point in my Aviation career. Though it was the first, it was such a huge success. The fair recorded about 350 participants. Honestly, i was very proud of myself as well as the tremendous impact it is having on the young ones in our society.

I want to also mention here that my company also hosts the annual Aviation careers conference. Hopefully, we will be having the 3rd edition this year in October.

What has been your greatest challenge with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority?

I haven’t really had any challenge with the Regulatory Authority. In fact, I have enjoyed a lot of support from the body especially during the second edition of the Cabin Crew Fair and the Aviation Career conference. They have been supportive.



What will you say is the future of air travel in Nigeria?

The industry is going through a challenging phase with the exchange rate which is affecting ticket fares. The high cost of traveling is also affecting the rate at which people travel. The economic situation in the country is not smiling. Nigerians are known to be regular travelers. But in all, the future looks promising.



How best do you think safety can be assured in Nigeria aviation industry?

Raising the safety bar requires a holistic approach by all stakeholders, which must be a conscious, intentional and deliberate one. We all have a role to play. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the training organizations, and airline management. I can overemphasize the crucial role of the respective organs and agencies to checkmate. This been said, there is a need for consistent checks and monitoring of Airlines operational activities as well.

The training organizations must consistently ensure the highest standard of training at the foundational stage. If the training is flawed from the beginning that will be a recipe for a low standard of professionalism. The level of training they receive will determine how competent they will be and how well they perform on the job. So our training must be top-notch. Oversight responsibilities of NCAA as a regulatory agency should be sustained. The Authority as it is doing now must continuously maintain consistent policing to ensure strict adherence to safety regulations. Safety standards can be maintained through consistent checks and monitoring of Airlines operational activities. Airline Management must create enabling operating environment that is motivating, this will help the Airline staff perform more effectively on the role. One of the ways we can keep raising the safety bar is to create a feedback system and consistently review our processes for improvement. We must aim to be above standards at all times.



Tell us about your bitter, sweet experience as an in-flight service provider.

It’s been a remarkable 26 years journey for me in the Aviation industry in Nigeria, starting as a Cabin Crew. Flying is quite exciting. It is fun. It gives you the opportunity to see the world absolutely for free and still get paid! You go to amazing places you never imagined. You meet with world-class leaders, superstars, and very important personalities. You stay and dine in 5-star hotels. Imagine having breakfast in Lagos and dinner in London. What can be more exciting? Flying is a glamorous profession. However, behind that glamour, there is also the bad and ugly side of flying. I have seen it all. I have enjoyed the good side; you know the perks that come with the job. I have also experienced the risks, exposure to assault, unfriendly skies, continuously flying in pressured cabins, and the ugly? Well, I have experienced two plane crashes.

The job of a Cabin Crew is very unique. It’s hard work! It transcends a tea and coffee service. Cabin Crews are strategic in the aircraft Cabin. They are safety officers. The training we receive makes us a well-grounded and well-rounded. This is one job at which you juggle different roles with a short time frame and in a confined environment. Once you step on board as a Crew, you automatically become a Safety Officer, a first aider, a Security Personnel, a Hospitality Personnel, and a Psychologist. So many roles rolled into one. I usually call it a one role fits all. I once became a tailor on board for a passenger. Every split seconds counts for the Cabin Crew. It is a very mentally tasking and sometimes physically draining job, I must confess. The ability to multi-task is the key. Above all, you must have a passion for what you do. That is what will see you through.

I confirm that Flying is an adventurous job, with dependable income (but commensurate?). The work schedule is quite flexible compared to the 9-5 jobs which can be monotonous. Sadly, all people see is the glamorized aspects. Unknown to people, the job of a flight attendant is hard work! Back-breaking hard work! You can only enjoy the job and become successful if and only when you work hard. It could be quite challenging, you know, juggling different roles most of the time and trying to strike a balance. If you are an aspiring flight attendant and you are lazy, then please I will advise you to consider another profession.

My experience has been interesting. I found joy and happiness in doing what I am passionate about. Every moment has been fun!

...It is not expensive too

Your comment, part of my latest discovery.
Travel / “travel Is The Best Education Anyone Can Acquire” – Curator, Femi Coker by NTravelpack: 11:48am On May 17, 2019
Setting the pace and blazing the trail just as often said can be as simple as, beating footpath and embarking on a journey to a place no one has ever been. This been established, Femi Coker, the curator at Femi Art House in Lagos has proven this saying severally and he is soon to become a renown artistic icon in the black continent and confidently the world in general following his remarkable feat the world can’t afford to push to the back door.
In this interview with Nifty Travel, Femi Coker explains the marriage between travel and art alongside his passion, struggle and the force behind his soon-to-be, world acclaimed invention.


Can we meet you, please?
My name is Femi Coker, from Lagos Nigeria. I majored in philosophy at the Ogun State University, now Olabisi Onabanjo University.
I cut my teeth, working with one2one communication and Skills Integrated, both, Telecom/ Public Relations Services Provider. Respectively as a marketing executive.
I moved on to GOGE Africa, as a research /marketing executive and onward to Nike Arts Gallery, as curator and manager.
I’m a self-trained mixed media artist, a culture vulture, a published poet and an innovator.

What triggered your interest in art and what will you say, led to the emergence of Femi Art House?
I have always been a passionate and imaginative person and my working experiences with both GOGE Africa and Nike Arts Gallery, further deepened and broadened my interest creatively, to promote Africa’s rich artistic and cultural heritage on my own platform in 2009. Femi Art Warehouse!

What does art mean to you?
To me art serves the same purpose as music: it inspires, edifies, educates, informs, entertains, and challenges. The same way artistes address contemporary and global issues, same way artists do!

What is every artistic work of yours trying to achieve?
Each of my artistic work is unique on its own and serves to promote a theme in a monumental way. For instance, if am working with a drum, it is not only in sheer size or height, that it intimidates, in content too, which makes it truly exceptional. Making it a museum on its own!

Which area(s) of art are you particularly focused on. What can you be identified with?
I am a self-trained mixed media artist, therefore, I possess the capacity to work with any material. More importantly, I seek to passionately promote Africa’s rich artistic and cultural heritage through my artistic and creative expressions.

In art, everyone has got a muse. What is yours?
Africa’s history, heritage and humanity.

What is the motivating factor behind all your artistic creations?
Repositioning Africa’s true history and project its true essence in a grand and monumental fashion to the entire world.

Apart from your innovations what else can we find in Femi Art House?
Apart from my unveiling and thematic exhibitions, I run a culture club, a language centre, a textile gallery, a reading club and organizes a yearly Easter Artfest and the Badagry International Art Fair.

Have you ever considered placing your works for sale or do you just make them for your gallery alone?
Not all my works are for sale. Some are for exhibition purposes, though some have been acquired. And I have also been commissioned to produce some others.


Your world largest textile map seems really impressive. What will you say influenced it? Did it ever go through any form of African or international exhibition at all?
It was inspired by the diversity of Nigeria and the many different cultures, which are usually expressed in the fabrics and textiles of the peoples.
The map was unveiled at the Badagry Heritage Museum in 2014, to commemorate Nigeria’s centenary celebration. And also exhibited in collaboration with the National Museum to commemorate International Museum Day in May of 2014.

Will you want to share any Guinness book of records achievement credited to you lately? If any?
None has been credited to me. Though I have written to them on a few occasions. But the fact is, some of my artistic and creative works still doesn’t exist in the world. Such as:
World’s tallest drum
World’s largest recliner
World’s longest cap
World’s biggest straw mat art
World’s longest photo collage sentence
World’s largest textile map etc
I do my research before I embark on these initiatives or projects.
Sooner than later, I will be validated.

Has Guinness world record failure to include your works of art into her record been a major discouragement for you?
The failure of the Guinness world record to acknowledge my accomplishments doesn’t discourage me in any way, because it is just a matter of time before I am validated.
As a matter of fact, it serves as a stimulus for me, to be more consistent, dedicated and passionate.

Amongst all your creative works which will you label to have challenged you so much?
Every single one is unique and challenging and I have a dedicated team to work with. I can say the drum, because of the skills required for its production.

Which has landed you more fame?
The drums and the textile map.

How best do you think African youth can harness their hidden potential in the face of a certificate focused labour market?
Looking inward to explore their talents, to understudy a successful role model and learn or acquire skills and expertise in vocational training, observe global trends and learn something new and in demand.

Recently you said and i quote: “Our educational system is heavily Eurocentric one of the reasons why we are not making any progress” Can you broaden on this?
According to Babs Fafunwa, the seven cardinal goals of African Traditional Education are:
• To develop the child’s latent physical skill.
• To develop character.
• To indicate respect for elders and those in the position of authority.
• To develop intellectual skills.
• To acquire specific vocational training and develop a healthy attitude toward honest labour.
• To develop, appreciate and promote the cultural heritage of the community at large.
• To develop a sense of belonging and to participate actively in family and community affairs.
Suffice it then to say, that this education was aimed at training a child physically, developing his character, intellectual training, vocational training and respect for elders and peers. More so, the Russian system of education is founded on their culture, the same goes for Chinese system of education etc. Their tradition serves as the catalyst for their sustainable development. If our system of education is modelled after our culture, it will become more practical and productive.

What will be your ideal Nigeria or world educational system?
Finland’s educational system is rated the best in the world and it even outperforms that of the US, because it is made suitable for the learner and very flexible, as everyone doesn’t learn at the same pace and are endowed with different talents.

What is your 2019 going to look like? What are the projects still in the pipeline?
2019 promises to be very interesting and challenging. My current project is the world’s biggest chair/library.

On your path to greatness, what has been your greatest challenge, amazing moment and the moment you never imagined will happen?
Inspiration comes from the Almighty and I have lent greatly to trust more in myself and depend less on people. Amazing moments are usually the processes of making the monumental works.
Being commissioned to design and produce the photo collage to commemorate the UN at 70.
A monumental drum acquired for the Centre for Black Culture and International Understanding (CBCIU)
A monumental piece acquired by Prof. Wole Soyinka.
Being commissioned to design and produce the world’s tallest drums for the maiden edition of Nigeria’s Drums Festival in Ogun state in 2016 and African Drums Festival in 2017.
Collaborations with the United Nations Information Centre.
Collaborations with the National Museum Onikan, Lagos.
Performance /exhibition at the Black Heritage Festival.
Performance /exhibition at the world Sango Festival, Alaafin of Oyo’s Palace.
Performance /exhibition at the American International school 60th Anniversary celebration etc.
Meeting great and important dignitaries, at the highest level of government, academia, diplomatic corp, the business community, youth and children groups

How will you relate what you do with travels?
Arts and culture are the wheels of tourism. When local or foreign tourists and visitors, visit a site or destination, they are usually attracted to or fascinated by the history, culture, heritage etc. of the destination. This visit provides them with relaxation, entertainment, information and education. My works passionately promotes arts and culture and are available to the public. Moreover, arts and culture are the catalysts for sustainable development and travel is the best experience (education) anyone can acquire.
