The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, until recently, owned one of the biggest spas and beauty institutes in the country. Situated along Camp Road, a high brow area of Ungwan-Rimi Government Residential Area in Kaduna State.
She owned Hanzy Spa and Hanzy Beauty Institute. The beauty Institute was the first beauty institute in Northern Nigeria and is a National Board of Technical Education accredited vocational training centre and registered by the Ministry of Education with the aim of exploring the untapped wealth in the emerging beauty industry.
Punch.
However, since the victory of her husband in late March, Mrs. Buhari closed down the beauty parlour to take up the new role as Nigeria’s First Lady. The spa and beauty institute patronised by individuals across class, was sighted closed to the private residence of the immediate past Vice President, Namadi Sambo. The institute was consulted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation/Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company to help train individuals under its Youth Empowerment and Skill Acquisition Programme.
Ms. Buhari, a trained esthetician who obtained a diploma in Beauty Therapy from the Carlton Institute of Beauty Therapy, Windsor, United Kingdom and a certificate course from the French Beauty School, Esthetique Academie Dubai, is a member of the United Kingdom’s Vocational Training and Charitable Trust and the International Health and Beauty Council.
In an interview she granted Thisday Style last year, the beautiful Adamawa State-born mother of five said:
“I’m a very busy person who does her things quietly. I keep to my profession as an esthetician, managing my spa and beauty institute both in Kaduna and Abuja. I also personally perform some advanced facial treatments like mesotherapy, gold facial and application of TCA etc. I have a number of documentations on my experience in this area including writing a book titled “The Essentials of Beauty Therapy."She has since closed her beauty businesses now that she has bigger responsibilities as the First lady of Nigeria,
Punch.
Hmmmmmm...Why not allow someone else manage it for the now.......Well...its her choice
ReplyDeleteMoye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
Before Nigerians starts accusing her of using their money to fund the business. Linda take note!
DeleteGood for her, and I wish her well.
DeleteI so agree with U. Isn't her mantle as 1st lady to empower women. That's what her institute was doing. I get that she wouldn't have had time to really pay attention to it but I'm sure she could've found someone to run it. Then again it's Nigeria, maybe she couldn't find someone trustworthy.
DeleteThank you o! Especially as it is a certified vocational school. Between, didn't buhari once mention that there will be no office of the First Lady?
DeleteWicked woman. How many people just lost their jobs? She has seen a way to steal easy money. Layer they'll be shouting that we need small scale businesses.
DeleteAbi. Before all these kidnappers will start kidnapping her employees for ransom.
DeleteThis cannot be a true story
DeletePeople should stop wasting our reading time. So she opposes her husband in job creation?
Some 1 shld av managed it 4her na
DeleteBesides it was helping pple
Wow.she just inspired me. I ll luv to go into such
ReplyDeleteEyaa, Kaduna women will go bck to being ugly again #Pasmoso Decors
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteHahahaha
DeleteShe's closing her business so she can help her husband loot Nigeria's money,since he's not for not stealing directly. Foolish Buhari without any plans for Nigeria. Aso Rock is now flooded with hausa uncivilised cows.
ReplyDeleteCan u rlly be dis stupid nd senseless @ d same tym? Wow
DeleteMay God have mercy on you
DeleteAnd yes I'm a southern Christian
Hahahah na so we are all waiting for d so called change. Why will she close d school when it can help elevate d rate of unemployment there. Hiss
DeleteGood
DeleteWhat did goodluck do for you,obviously udont know nothing what buhari stands for,what he did in his past administration, he. As minister of pet he Built Nigerias first oil refineries started nnpc all without loans imprisoned all thiefs ,this man is a blessing to nigeria,oil prices trippled under good luck n hundreds of thousands died, weĺ do i need to argue with someone who does not even know its country history
DeleteGosh u guys are so tribalistic. Which one is uncivilized cows? Dt incivilized cow just moved d military command centre to maiduguri, to combat boko haram from d ground. What did goodluck ever do apart from cry "saboteur" at every turn. Mehn now i see why some pple think igbos shldnt be in govt. Ur xter is just so proud & weird. It wont take long b4 u segregate every other tribe. And no - goodluck was not igbo. STOP CLAIMING HIM. He was actually a decent man, he just was not a leader. I wonder what an igbo leader wld be like.
DeleteIf Aguiyi ironsi was anything to go by, we have our answer......uneducated, tribalistic & bigoted. Pls watch interviews of him after he took power, and compare dt wt interviews of other leaders in d 60's. And he was only in power for 6mnths. God knows what else wld have happened after successfully removing other tribes from ministeries.
All I see is.......an idiot!!!!
DeleteYour pain, get used to it
DeleteTribalism at its peak.
DeleteShe is uncivilized and she went abroad to get a degree?
DeleteWhere is your own degree from, again?
Chill bro, it's never that serious.
Delete<< LIB Addict >>
Stupid bigoted anon 11:22. Shut ur trap. Any one who is tribalistic is officially Ibo abi??? You are the myopic tribalistic one, who thinks and believes and one who speaks bad of an Hausa man is an Ibo man. You are simply a goat. Thank me now. :D
DeleteWell I guess to avoid conflict of interest.
ReplyDeleteOk heard
ReplyDeleteOur beautiful first lady we are wit u ooo
ReplyDeleteLinda what's this new style of not posting pictures??? I have to open original story before I see the images? Linda I don't like
ReplyDeleteMtcheww!! And I was thinking it's from my phone.rubbish!
DeleteOh it a general problem? And have been blaming it on my network provider lol...any Linda pls fix it
DeleteWow! That's good but she shouldn't have closed it oh! Ha! Office of first lady isn't exactly a job
ReplyDeleteBut she dint have to. She shld ve just handed it over to somebody
ReplyDeleteNa wah only in Nigeria do people close down a growing functional business for politics, if this business has part of youth empowerment and skill development by nnpc under it, why can't you get a good manager to run it, all those 6 grown girls you have none of them is passionate about your business to continue!!! Na wah anyway now you shouldn't be bothered about people getting spa, they will surely fly in from dubai to offer you all on your first lady bed!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBigger things ahead
ReplyDeleteGood choice....
ReplyDeleteShez already gat bigger paid business...lol (dodorima Africans)
ReplyDeleteShe is just naturally beautiful. Not beauty spa stuff
ReplyDeleteWhy close it down? She should have given it to someone to manage for her now. My opinion though, but its her decision.
ReplyDelete#TeamBlessed#
Why close it down completely when she can get a professional in the field to manage it in the interim?
ReplyDeletePedigree is always important.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I love this woman, she is classy
ReplyDeleteY now. She should have trained a successor and hand it over to her.
ReplyDeleteWishing her all the best. May God grant wisdom to be the best First Lady ever.
Hmmm I love this woman, she is classy
ReplyDeleteWoman way get level, not that power drunk market woman that missed her into Asu rock.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!!!! Anonymous 8:43 are you for real, you better go back to nursery school bc your writing and spelling sucks. The woman you are insulting has gone places nd before you will reach where she just left, your 16 generation......would be long gone...Ode in capital letters### longhiss#
DeleteInteresting!
DeleteNo be only Asu rock, na Asuu strike.
<< LIB Addict >>
Woman way get level, not that power drunk market woman that missed her into Asu rock.
ReplyDeleteYour wickedness is reaching God and you will answer every negative statement you make before God.
DeleteWow...Sshe culda kept itna!
ReplyDeleteshe didn't have to close the business. I think she should have left it to someone else to manage. She is only guaranteed 4 years as first lady. One would have expected her to return to her business after serving the nation. Then again, after 4 years in Aso Rock, she might never need to work again...no be Naija we dey.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't have to close it..that salon created jobs for lots of people..not fair..another person could have managed it....
ReplyDeleteDucks!!!! Someone else can run it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't her husband say there won't be office of the first lady???..hmmm…Why won't she close it when there is free money to loot. Buhari please remember all your promises sha.
ReplyDeleteShe shud put someone else to handle it naaaa.hw can she jst close up like dat
ReplyDeleteNice move
ReplyDeleteI believe she will deliver as a 1st lady. So beautiful and motherly. God help dem Amen
ReplyDeleteCHYBIKE ODOGWU
Don't think its a smart move for her..cos she has directly killed her staff and rendered jobless..
ReplyDeleteShe is going for a greater duty and bigger responsibility. E no easy to be first lady of Nigeria. God bless her new office.
ReplyDeletei Thought she said she don't need the post or rather the position of a First lady so to say' during all her campaign,Hmmm i belong to everybody i belong to know one quote with no meaning ..Good Luck
ReplyDeleteI thought she and her husband claimed there will be no office of the 1st lady?
ReplyDeleteI thought so too.... well, I'm still "thoughting" cos it's way too early to conclude.
Delete<< LIB Addict >>
Thought Buhari said there LL be no office of the first lady.
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! Her husband said there's no office for the first lady in the constitution, so what responsibility of a first lady is she talking about? Huh? She should better start up another one in Aso Rock! Lol
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! Her husband said there's no office for the first lady in the constitution, so what responsibility of a first lady is she talking about? Huh? She should better start up another one in Aso Rock! Lol

ReplyDeleteHmmm... She just sent some people into the labour market to swell the ranks of the unemployed!!! What she should have done was to step down from the management of the coy or sell it if she is not interested in coming back to it.The best way to tackle unemployment in any economy is by encouraging small and medium enterprises. I hope this is not the type of "change" we are into - shout "we will tackle unemployment" in public while creating unemployment by your actions in your business. We all want change from the past of wicked, descriptive, self-centered and corrupt politicians. We don't want politics that pay more than professional jobs., where MD of banks will resign to contest political position because they can "make" more money in 1 month than in 10 yr as a professional. As part of "change", accountability Aisha Buhari must come out to clarify this news. Is it that she intends to tow the path of all the former first ladies in Nigeria by creating a money spinning NGO that blackmail politicians, contractors and corporate organizations to part with colossal sum of money? At the end of the day such monies are never accounted for because there is no law or agency in Nigeria that demands accountability from NGOs like its done in developed countries. This method is usually the avenue of corruption and self aggrandizement by past first ladies in nigeria. We want change and we must DEMAND change!!! We cannot afford the new gov to take our goodwill towards it as a license to comfortably drift into the past. We are not ignorant of the facts the the same politicians who were in PDP are still the same once in APC. We have achieved change in govt through our votes. Now is the time to "police" the govt and demand the change we desire. Govt must be accountable to its citizens! Let's DEMAND CHANGE!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it government money that she used to open the spa? It is her private business. Whatever she wants to do with it is non of your business. Bitter PDP give up!!!
DeleteWho is this person talking like an ode. It is her private business. It is not govenment business. So u cannot dictate to her on what she should do with her private business. Na your money she take set am up? What is your business if she decides to close it down? Do u know if she was making losses. She must have her reasons for closing it down which is non of your business and she owes u no explanation. If she keeps it open, it is thesame u that will come to this blog and say that she is using government money to do her private business. Patience Jonathan that stole money and opened airline has created jobs for Ghanians. Which job did she use it to create for Nigerians. Her airline is in Ghana called Peace Airline. So pls stop blowing this theivial issue out of proportion unecessarily
DeleteShe could have consulted someone to be running it for her. Maybe Zahra.
ReplyDeleteLevels don change ...
ReplyDeleteCan she not get people to manage it. Abeg she is not serious
ReplyDeleteClosing it down won't help, she would v put any of r close relatives der 2 monitor tins 4 r bt I still don't blame r cos d way she's going 2 handle r tin wl b quiet difft 4rm d way relatives wl do it 4 r. Best of luck in office ma
ReplyDeleteClosing it down won't help, she would v put any of r close relatives der 2 monitor tins 4 r bt I still don't blame r cos d way she's going 2 handle r tin wl b quiet difft 4rm d way relatives wl do it 4 r. Best of luck in office ma
ReplyDeleteA first lady with style and proper Grammar. I do personally thank God for this wonderful redemption.
ReplyDeleteShe shud put someone else to handle it naaaa.hw can she jst close up like dat
ReplyDeleteThis is the Image we want. Its finer than that official picture. Pls use this and always wear her her glasses. Yes we insist. That's how their aides mess them up.
ReplyDeleteALREADY SEEN
ReplyDelete#Linda's Give Away
Awwww. Maybe she could have delegated management, but I guess that is tough especially in this environment when micromanagement is necessary. If not, people spoil your business. She knows best. Wishing her and her husband utmost success!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a shame to close one's enterprise just because you are taking up on the role of first lady. You could have trained somebody to manage the business for you. What will happen after you leave office? Africans, it is only you!
ReplyDeleteNaso, now dat bigger money would start coming, why operate a spa??
ReplyDeleteThought this woman and her husband said they will be no office of the first lady!! She closed her spa fa! I see! Change is really here!
ReplyDeleteThis is not a topic to be discussed
ReplyDeleteAll of u talking here should let her be. It is her business. You were not there when she set up the business so you cannot dictate to her on how she should run her private business. If she wishes to close it down or give it to someone else to manage or even sell it, it is entirely up to her. She probably doesnt trust someone to manage it because people can cheat u and disappoint u so let her be
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck are u sayin????... shez d first lady..... shez suppose to create employment not fuckn increase the rate of unemployment..... nd wah dju mean by she doesnt trust anybdy, sooo all dese yrs u mean derz nobdy dat she can entrust dat post to..... I just hope we dont have pple lyk you by her side....
DeleteThank you... ppl go just dey comment like goat. it is her bizness and no1 can run it as best as she will. Been the wife of the president has is responsibilities also. She can't be distracted from been the first lady. The bizness is an avenue too for every rifraf to seet attention from the first lady. I trust nigerians travelling from lagos to kaduna say dem wan go first lady spa. And in the real sense. It's a breach of interest and enhances corruption. Good move madam first lady.
Delete*yinmu* lol. There we go. Just under 24hrs. Smh.
DeleteDont mind that idiot saying she should create employment. Is it government money the she used to set it up? It is her own money. It is thesame you that will come to this blog later and say that she is using government money for her business. Her husband has already promised to create employment. So be patient and wait for it to happen. She is not the president. This is her private business. You cannot dictate to her what to do with her private money. This is not even an issue for discussion. We should stop blowing this issue out of proportion. Its irrelevant at this stage if change of government. Nigerians grow up and bitter PDP people that lost elections give up and take a chill pill
DeleteOk time to embezzle billions..
ReplyDeleteI feel u shld hv just handed it over to a faithful staff. Now,ur staff are jobless...#my opinion duh
ReplyDeleteAll these people that keep talking from both sides of their mouth. Now she closing her business to be the first lady she claimed she was never interested in. God is watching u pple in 3D
ReplyDeleteShe for call me nah make I come manage am
ReplyDeleteNone of her daughters are intersted in managing it? Why close down smtin of that nature?
ReplyDeleteGet facts straight, she closed it ages ago. Has nothing to do with the new appointment
ReplyDeleteBefore she come open branch for lagos and abuja and PH. Them go come say na politics money she use
ReplyDeleteshe did not have to, she could have handed it over to someone for management
ReplyDeleteShe is actually not allowed under the constitution to have a business just like the president. Its a conflict of interest. So she did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in Nigeria , people close down business to support their hubby in politics. Baba I tot you said no office of First Lady. Here we go again, we just keep deceiving ourselves. How many jobs has she taken off people? Now with these grown up kids, we begin to see expensive brands flowing into nija and probably asking to see Jay Z in one of their parties. Let's begin to watch.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder u are this beautiful oh my 1st lady u shudnt hv closed it down! U shudda sold it out to someone else to manage and make wealth like u ma'am
ReplyDeleteNo wonder she & her daughters look flawless. Good business though. Wonder when such a business will start thriving in the south east.
ReplyDeleteSo She we not even fry akara again
ReplyDeleteSo her staffs are now unemployed.
ReplyDeleteSo much for creating jobs and alleviating poverty.
ALL OF YOU THAT HAS PASSED COMMENTS HERE ARE JUST BUSH AND SENSELESS. ONLY ONE PERSON MADE SENSE HERE. SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANOTHER BUSINESS UNDER THE LAWS AND CONSITUTION OF NIGERIA. IT IS CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF YOU ARE SERVING THE GOVERNMENT, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANOTHER JOB OR BUSINESS. ODES. EWU
ReplyDeleteOur first lady pls reopen the Beauty Centre. This is to enable the unemployed Nigerians get job bcos you and ur husband are for change also Nigerians are looking up to ur husband and his vice. Your bigger responsibility will not stop ur business Ma. God bless u as u do so.
ReplyDeleteShe should have put someone in charge
