-THE PRICE OF FAME
– THE WAR ROOM
Fashion enthusiast and businesswoman , Dr Nkechi Harry Ngonadi aka NHN most likely does not need any introduction as she is quite well known via her engaging social media page . The Lagos based fashionpreneur who recently clocked 45 , celebrated by sourcing the services of a huge number of fashion and beauty entrepreneurs in numerous photsessions from lagos to Abuja ,spanning over months and wearing over 120 outfits (interesting & hectic you might say) . In this rather intimate feature , NHN speaks of turning 45 , the price of fame , the war room and the future of the NHN brand .
Turning 45
I never celebrate my birthday . Usually I seize it as an opportunity to hold sales so literally, I use it to make money via my biz . At 40 I didn’t celebrate. Last year I had an opportunity to but God told me it was about Him and not me , hence the outreach I had .
Now usually, in a year I shoot almost 200 outfits (all paid for )just because I want to display my fabric . I feel it’s the only way people can see , interpret and appreciate the fabric which we make into various clothes . So while preaching the gospel I post my clothes and pray. Now, we have a budget for shooting and this year the pandemic changed everything . So I decided that since I already had the budget, we would still go ahead with the shoot and work with all the brands at once instead of breaking the photo sessions hence I ended up with over a hundred outfits .
So basically my turning 45 is to use my fabric and celebrate other fashion entrepreneurs from fabric merchants to hairstylists, photographers etc . Some I paid for some while some allowed me wear their brand .
Nhn is 7 years this month . You know , it always about a group of people all the time but decided to create this niche for myself by pushing my brand myself from local to International platforms . I spend a lot to be on global platforms so with that I created a niche for myself .
THE PRICE OF FAME
Hmm……. it’s been a journey …..my family my kids . The price ,eventually I’m not the only one paying . My entire family is paying for it Fame found me . I did not go looking for fame . It’s the favour of God in my life. My reputation has been tarnished, my name dragged – all from faceless people . What has kept me going is me living my truth . Whatever is said doesn’t bother me . Everyone is entitled to their opinion. They can never win their negative battle over my life . Although the price of fame is very costly , It’s the price for Greatness and God has been with me every step of my journey.
The future of NHN
We are working towards a project
My dream is for NHN to be an empire . One stop shop where you have everything beauty and fashion we are working towards it .
The war room
That is my baby Nhn is 7 years this month the war room is 3 years this month. It was a vision given to me after 40 days dry fast . Funny enough I was going through a major challenge . I was attacked on social media . It is not a church , it si not ministry . It is not a fellowship. I am not a pastor or an ordained minister I am a business woman that God has used to gather women to pray
We are prayer intercession, not prayer collectors or we prayer contractors . Our anchor scripture Mat 6,33. Seeking Gods kingdom first. So that is what we are doing Job 42,10- not until Job prayed that his life turned around . Our problems are Thanksgiving, we labour in prayers for another person . We have had unbelievable testimonies. It is a faith movement . Our total absolute dependence and pray for prayer projects God sorts our problem. Your engagement is your solution / breakthrough . We teach you to catch Gods attention using his words .
THE FUTURE OF NHN
We are working towards a project
My dream is for NHN to be an empire . A one stop shop where you have everything beauty and fashion and we are working towards it .
