10 Things Every African Man Needs To Know About Makeup & Women
Relationship and lifestyle blogger, Kwadwo Panyin explores 10 Things Every African Man Needs To Know About Makeup & Women: When you ask an African man what is the most important thing he looks for in a partner, none will ever say âhigh arched eyebrows.â If you can find one African dude who says he only likes to date women with cut-crease smokey eyes, I have a bridge I can sell you. A few years ago, an ex-girlfriend was hemming and hawing in the bathroom as she was applying makeup. I walked in to see what the issue was and I found a frustrated woman frantically looking for something. I asked; âHun, can I help you with something?â âI canât find my bronzer anywhere!â She snapped back I saw her leave a beauty product on the kitchen counter so I stepped outside the bathroom and came back with a lipstick. âIs this your bronzer?â I asked âSeriously! Are you kidding me?!â She yelled and shut the door. Itâs an established fact that men know little to nothing about makeup. I honestly at that time, thought a bronzer was a type of lipstick color. I mean, how are we supposed to get the fact that women use 15 different products on their faces? To make matters worse, there are all these fancy beauty products names and types of makeup and they all sound like a foreign language to me. What the heck is a matte? Matte who?  To me, you look natural in your foundation, bronzer, concealer and nude lipstick. We love women and we canât deny that! We are instantly attracted to a pretty face.  We will chase a pretty woman with makeup all over the place like zombies oblivious to the fact that it took her hours of primping to achieve that level of perfection. We simply have no clue what women have to go through to look good all the time. Fellas, itâs time for us to stop being clueless about the beauty routines of our queens. Weâve basked in the blissful ignorance of not knowing about makeup for way too long. Iâm not suggesting that we get on the same level of understanding as women. Iâm asking that we get to know the basics. Will knowing the basics of makeup and understanding the beauty ritual of women improve your life as a man? Probably not, however, knowledge is power! Read on my fellow tushie admirers. 1. Women do not wear makeup for men Let me get the most important nugget you need to know about makeup out of the way first. Women do not wear makeup for men. I repeat women wear makeup for themselves. It took years for me to finally get this distinction down. Some women spend years upon years honing their makeup technique and ensuring that they can turn out the perfect curly eyelashes every time. Itâs years of trial and error to get that liner to look even on both sides. Try curling your eyelashes to perfection without stabbing yourself in the eye. I canât even put eye drops in my eye without it going through my nose. Women endure this routine because they enjoy it. Makeup makes some women feel confident and powerful. Sometimes they use makeup to cover up blemishes or annoying spots on their faces. Letâs not get it twisted, Fellas. Women wear makeup to present a good face for themselves. This revelation does not mean we stop giving women compliments though. We need to appreciate the artistry of makeup which women have perfected over time. 2. What is the foundation? For years, I had no clue what the foundation was. Allow me to explain foundation in a manner fellas can comprehend. Foundation is usually the first step in the makeup routine. It is a skin coloring paint that women apply all over their face to smooth cracks, bumps, blackheads leaving their faces looking even. The untrained eye should not notice the difference when applied correctly. Think of foundation like the primer painters use on walls before they apply the actual paint. Foundation is supposed to be invisible and make a womanâs face appear smooth without any blemishes. If you meet a woman and there is a clear difference between the shade of her face and the area behind her ears and neck, something went awry when she applied the foundation. 3. Concealer What exactly are women trying to conceal? I used to think a concealer is the same as foundation. Make sense right? A concealer is a product women use to hide the stubborn and bumpy parts of their face.  Think of a concealer as the tool masons use to remove excess cement out of building blocks and smooth over any cracks. A concealer is basically the second wave of attack unleashed on troublesome areas the foundation could not properly hide or blot out. Iâve seen concealers in liquid forms and others look like a glue stick. I am not sure why though. All I know is, unlike foundation, women use the concealer to smooth over or hide stubborn blemishes or bumps. 4. Powder. I think I know this one! I grew up having powder sprinkled all over my face and body as a child. I never understood why I had to put that crap all over me.  It was hot and sticky and it smelled weird. The powder women use for makeup is obviously not the one I used as a kid. The powder women use as part of their beauty routine is applied using a makeup brush. Women mostly apply powder to the areas of the face which secretes the most oil. A powder is used to curb this secretion and blot out the moisture. Women usually apply powder to their foreheads, nose and chin areas. Powder use is another area which requires precision and practice. Too much powder application can give a woman the much dreaded cakey effect look on her face.  Man, this makeup stuff is something. Isnât it? 5. Blush Blush is one Iâm still trying to wrap my tiny brain around. When I think of blush, the cheekbones of a woman come to mind. Blush, however, is so much more. After a woman applies foundation and a concealer, she may look a little monochromatic or to put it bluntly, like someone who just passed away. Blush is a form of powder used to restore the shape and the natural complexion a woman covered up when the foundation was applied. Blush can make a womanâs cheeks look rosy and a little prominent.  Women spend years perfecting the application of blush along their cheekbones. It makes the cheekbones appear sharper and well defined. Are we done yet? Nope! There is more. 6. Letâs talk about the Bronzer By now, you already know I thought lipstick was some form of a bronzer. Well, I have evolved and will no longer mistake a lipstick for a bronzer. So what is a bronzer? Our sisters use bronzers to enhance the contours of their faces and it also gives them a glow. A bronzer comes in a tube and its applied with a makeup brush, I believe. 7. Lipstick Lipstick is lipstick, what else is there to know about lipstick? Itâs color applied to the lips. Well, these daysâ women have a type of lipstick collection referred to as nudes. It subtle and one can ever tell (Iâm talking about fellas here) if a woman has lipstick on if she chooses to go nude.  8. Eyeshadow Eyeshadow is basically the paint women apply to their eyelids. Itâs the color highlights you see between a womanâs eyebrows and the top of her eye. A concealer is used sometimes underneath the eyebrows and the lids blotted out with cotton and the eyeshadow applied. I feel like Iâm missing something here. Oh well, you get the point. 9. Eyeliner Whatâs the difference between an eyeliner and an eyeshadow? I used to think they are one and the same. The eyes are the best part of your face so the eyeliner plays a key role in the makeup routine. An eyeliner is applied with a pencil or a thin brush. It is the color you see around a womanâs eyes and makes her face more prominent. Eyeshadows make the eyes bigger and the eyeliner accentuates the eye itself. 10. Mascara. I like that name! Sometimes I totally forget that I have eyelashes. Heck, sometimes I forget I have eyebrows. Mascara is a thin makeup brush with Christmas treelike small branches attached from the tip to the middle portion of the brush handle. Women use this brush to lift, darken and elongate their eyelashes. Mascara can give a woman an exotic look and helps to make her eyes more appealing. Bonus Point:  Makeup rubs off Fellas, women do not spend hours getting their makeup right only for you to mess it up while trying to get affectionate. When you try to get too close to her face and she gently puts up a barrier, respect that! The last thing a woman wants is her makeup ruined and smeared all over your shirt. If you have to kiss, be gentle touching her face or stay away altogether. Well, unless you are back together behind closed doors and about to get some. Okay, Fellas, thatâs it! There is so much more to discuss but I need another article for that. I did not mention the cleansing routine to take off the makeup at night, contouring, I did not touch on the weird white and green substance some women put on their faces and scare the crap out of us sometimes. I did not mention manicures and pedicures. A womanâs hair routine will make a novel if I decide to write about it. For now, these ten items are the basics every man needs to know about makeup. The next time your wife or girlfriend steps out with you, compliment her on her makeup. Tell her; âHoney, the neutral eyeshadow you have on matches beautifully with your dress.â Look her in the eyes and say; âSugarpops, your eyes look beautiful and amazing today.  What brand of eyeliner or mascara did you use for your eyes? Iâd love to know just in case I have to pick it up for you one day.â Beauty is not cheap and its time consuming for our queens.  Open up those wallets for her to grab some cool beauty products, sit back and appreciate the efforts and the artistry that is makeup! Ladies, do share this article with your men and have them learn a thing or two. I still have a whole lot to learn myself so donât hesitate to call me out if I missed anything. Now I have to go shave my beard. I will be done in 3 minutes flat! Stay pretty, my African Queens! Feature Picture: Awuni Isabella, Makeup Artist & Founder of izamakeupgh.]]>

South Africa prioritizes safety of Ghanaians, other tourists, with a $10m security investment
South Africa has invested over R174m (almost USD10m) in its public and private security services in the last few months to provide safety for Ghanaians and other travelers who have chosen the country for leisure and business.
South Africa, which ranks among the best tourist destinations in the world has over the years recorded some attacks on tourists. However, the country has delivered a swift response to the attacks and perceptions about the country in recent years. The government has invested millions of rands to strengthen its security.
The Minister of Tourism of South Africa, Patricia de Lille, disclosed this move during an interview with David Mawuli, editor of MawuliTravels.com and Ghanafuo.com, at the just-ended Africaâs Travel Indaba 2024 held in Durban.
According to Patricia de Lille, South Africa has formed partnerships with both private and public sectors, including the hospitality industry, to provide safe environments for travelers.
âWe certainly for the past year formed a partnership with the private sector, police service, National Prosecuting Authority, all provinces and metropolitan cities,â she told David Mawuli on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
âWe launched a safety forum and we have put a plan in place to deal with some perceptions — you know, sometimes, perceptions become a reality. â
She said in 2023, the country invested R174m in its security services. Part of it was used to identify âhotspots of most visited tourist sitesâ and further recruited over 2,000 young South Africans whose job is to serve as âsafety monitorsâ for tourists.
âLast year, the government invested R174m to train and employ 2,300 young people as safety monitors. We identified what we call hotspots â frequently visited tourist establishments â and after we trained them, we deployed them into those areas, including a place like Table Mountain, where there is also a lot of attacks,â she said.
The Minister said the private sector has contributed enormously to addressing the security challenges in the country.
One of them is an app called Secura. With this app, visitors visiting South Africa can download and log in the number of days they will spend in the country during their stay.
The security-tracking app can give visitors access to 300 security companies, including South African Police services, in case of any attacks. Health-wise, if there’s a medical emergency like a heart attack, visitors will get access to 200 medical organizations.
She further disclosed that in August 2024, the government launched a Control Operation Room that monitors when there’s a response needed from everywhere.
âWe regret attacks on any tourist, and we regret sincerely. So when a tourist gets attacked, we’ve put in place what we call ‘After Care Service’. That tourist will be taken to the nearest police station and helped file some charges (against attackers), and we make sure the tourist is safe and in safe accommodation,â she said.
On the resolutions of criminal cases against visitors, she said: âWe contact the embassy or the high commissioner of the country where the tourist will be coming from. We also assist with translation services.â
âFormerly, when a charge is laid with the police and the case gets to court, you have to travel back to South Africa to attend court proceedings. We have changed that now with the National Prosecuting Authority for virtual interconnections. This means you can attend South African court from anywhere around the world.â
âWe’ve also got a communication strategy around crime issues and the hospitality industry has come on board. In this case, you find a little [security alert] note in your hotel room. There are just certain places you don’t just go at certain times. So when tourists go on hikes, walks, and all of that, they will be monitored. It really helped us. The summer season is over now but we didn’t have many attacks this year.â
Hon. de Lille revealed that she has further communicated with embassies to echo these security messages to their citizens willing to visit South Africa.
âIn November, I called all the High Commissioners, Console Generals, and Ambassadors together to inform them about our safety plans and asked them to inform their potential tourists planning to visit South Africa. Through our own Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, we shared the plan for all the South African missions across the world.â
âThat is what we’ve done for now and we have already seen improvement,â she concluded.
Between January and March this year, South Africa received 1.8 million tourist arrivals from the African continent, marking a significant 74.5% of all arrivals.
Ghana was among the top countries that stood out for its remarkable growth. Ghana recorded a 249.4% surge when compared to 2023, reaching 7,904 arrivals from January to March 2024.
Patricia stated that the recent visa-waiver agreement between Ghana and South Africa contributed to this impressive growth within a short period.

UNIJAY AMALEBOBA FOUNDATION SECURES GRANT AGREEMENT WITH INVESTING FOR EMPLOYMENT (IFE)

The agreement, inked amidst a momentous ground-breaking ceremony, marks a significant milestone in the establishment of the UniJay Centre of Excellence and Hostel Facility for Apparel and Garments. This ambitious project represents a collaborative effort to revolutionize vocational training in the textile industry and address the pressing need for skilled workers.
With the generous support of the KfW Development Bank and the BMZ, facilitated through IFE, UniJay Limited and Unijay Amaleboba Foundation are poised to embark on a transformative journey towards creating a state-of-the-art training facility and hostel. Part of the successful graduates from the training centre will be hired directly by the grantee to work at its new garment factory. This endeavour underscores their shared commitment to nurturing talent, fostering innovation, and bolstering employment prospects for Ghanaian youth. A total of 1.977 new jobs will be created by the project: 796 at the granteeâs entity and 1.181 at third party textile factories in Ghana. Around 1,300 of the new employees will be women and around 2,000 will be younger than 24. The IFE grant will be used for the construction of the training and boarding centre and purchase of equipment.
Mr. Steffen Kuhl, Managing Director of IFE, reiterated that âWe are not here only for the opening of a factory but also for complementary aspects of a College. We look forward to creating more than just jobs, but an ecosystem that can see to the sustainability of jobsâ.
The UniJay Centre of Excellence will serve as a beacon of excellence, equipping students with the practical skills and knowledge essential for success in the apparel and garments sector. Coupled with the provision of modern hostel facilities, the project aims to create a conducive learning environment conducive to holistic growth and development.
