Look at Choco 17yrs ago (2years before Nollywood/African Queen video). Wow😇 I have grown. I look at this picture with tears in my eyes, looking back at different stages of my life and all my struggles. 
Wow, to think there was a time I had no house/roof over my head, at ojuelegba under bridge at 2am with a little bag hanging under my arm (@femibrainard69 do you remember?).. Thanks to Shola aka Shaggy Dread who opened @ogidantade OGD studios for me to lay my head for those weeks (I had to wait till everyone left the studio, or was sleeping before I came knocking on the window.😇)
Look at me now #Choco.
This picture brings memories. LASU days, as a law student we had to wear white and black everyday (hence the white top) to class.
But bia, where did my eye brows go😂? My struggles only made me who I am. I have never been scared/ashamed of where I am or where I am coming from, but I’m certainly SURE of where I am going… #ChocoRules

Meghan Markle, according to reports will spend Christmas with the royal family this year at the Queen’s Norfolk estate, Kensington Palace and  she’ll be breaking royal tradition by doing so.

This is certainly a first as Fiancées aren’t usually invited to spend the holiday with the royals. Kate Middleton, for example, spent Christmas with her family in Berkshire even though she and Prince William had announced their engagement a month before.

Prince Harry, who announced his engagement to Markle on the November 27th, is believed to have asked his grandmother for a special exception for his bride-to-be.

It has been said that Prince Harry is a favourite of the queen and she obliges him whatever he requests from her.

The former Suits star and Prince Harry will be attending Christmas Day church service on the Queen’s private estate, Sandringham House, with other senior members of the royal family.

Afterwards, they’ll likely participate in other royal holiday customs, like having a big lunch,  watching Her Majesty’s Christmas speech, drinking afternoon tea, and indulging in a buffet dinner

It has been observed that this isn’t the first time the couple has strayed from royal tradition. They frequently hold hand, right from their engagement photo call, to their first interview, to their first royal engagement

After the holiday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte) are expected to host the newly-engaged couple at their nearby country home, Anmer Hall.
