Daily life in my head 😂 A full board meeting of tiny versions of me trying to make sense of everything. One is healing. One is building empires. One is overthinking. One is romanticizing life. One is tired. One is creating magic. And somehow… they all work together to keep me becoming. #MiniMeEnergy #InsideMyMind #AfroBaroqueSoul

A breath becomes a beat, a rhythm becomes a memory… humming with scent and sound, woven by hands that create, voices that unite and linger…each telling stories, peculiar and unforgettable.

A spark of laughter, a curious inhale, one moment of wonder, and the city shifts… fragrance that lingers and speaks your language. This isn’t just smell. It’s personality. It’s rhythm. @artofabela @matriaerlab @saraunniya.ene @goetheinstitut_nigeria #ScentStories #CityRhythms #AbelaCentreforOlfactoryArt

On Saturday, April 11th 2026, we gathered with @saraunniya.ene for an artist talk that unfolded through memory, scent, and spatial imagination. The collective shared their process and reflections on Taruwa City, inviting us into a layered exploration of history, embodiment, and the afterlives of monumentality. Through conversation, they opened up questions of how cities are remembered, how power is held, and how sensory practice can reframe our relationship to space. It was a moment of slowing down and listening differently. One that lingers through what is felt, carried, and reimagined. Big thank you to @amandamadumere for moderating this exciting session. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🚀 @abela_olfactoryartcentre #chordnotes #bodyrhythmsinthecity #dreamingnewworlds #goetheinstitutnigeria #artisttalk

No vision builds itself. It needs people, real hearts and real hands to carry it forward. So we write it plainly, not just on paper but on hearts... So that those who encounter it can run with it. The Humans of Abela®️ are our reason to keep moving. They do not just execute the vision, they embody it. They give every expression its meaning, its breath, its life. Without them, Abela®️ does not exist. We are Light bearers. And we stand not only because of those within, but because of you who believe, who show up, who keep us in motion. Thank you for walking this journey with us.

We came together, we engaged, we created. The city’s body rhythms and scents blended into one unforgettable memory. CHORD NOTES was more than a closing party, it was a heartbeat etched in Lagos. With @artofabela @abela_olfactoryartcentre @matriaerlab @saraunniya.ene and @goetheinstitut_nigeria , Art, scent, and rhythm… all in one city pulse.

"It's not who starts, but who can finish strong. This is the real challenge of entrepreneurship" THESE ARE WORDS ON MARBLE. And quite honestly, it truly can be a lonely journey. Most don't realise the hard work required to keep showing up each day for a vision you believe in but aren't sure won't break you. But then again, it does break you, everyday till you're refined like gold. The breaking doesn't really stop until you stop. So keep going to break through.

There’s something quietly powerful about spaces built with intention… the kind that hold you, reflect you, and elevate how you live. Still soaking in the warmth of the Vivano Beddings & More open house, where comfort met beauty in the most effortless way. From textures to finishing, every detail felt considered, grounded, and quietly luxurious. And I love this part… you can now experience a seamless blend of worlds. Abela® products alongside beautifully crafted beddings and fittings, all in one space. If you’re in Lagos, step into the new Vivano lifestyle store at 224B Etim Inyang Crescent, Victoria Island. It’s more than a store, it’s a feeling you carry home. Thank you for having me, Vivano 🤍
