The
story is basically a contemporary, Nigerian take on the classic story
of Cinderella, an ordinary girl who rises to win the heart of and marry
the Prince through the intervention of a Fairy Godmother despite the
odds life throws her way in the shapes of a hostile Stepmother, envious
Half-Sisters and a family rocking from financial vulnerability.




The Campus Queen revolves around SESSI GEORGE,
a fairly shy, highly intelligent but self-effacing, nineteen year old,
second year student at the Independent University, Lagos. When she
isn't hitting the books (as she often does), she moonlights as a
freelance writer at the upscale lifestyle magazine, X-CLASS in order to keep herself in school and support her brother, the feisty fifteen year old TUNDE 'TJ' (he hates been called Junior) GEORGE, who's studying for his O Levels. Their father, the proud TUNDE GEORGE,
a Badagry indigene, once ran a thriving law firm but has fallen on evil
days. Sessi's mother's death seemingly set this gradual decline in
motion, a situation later accelerated by his marriage to a Lagos
socialite widow, the vain SALOME CAXTON-GEORGE who has two daughters: KOFO, given to the bottle and the sexually insecure KIISHI.
Tunde's financial impotence means he's just a figure head in his own
home but is too proud to admit it. His eternal adoration of his dead
wife, JULIANNA, brings him to regard Salome as a
shallow replacement. Salome on the other hand is contemptous of Tunde's
lack of street smarts and takes it out on Sessi who also seems to be
growing up to be a dreamer. Her daughters envy Sessi's sunny
disposition and of course, superior academic prowess.





The Prince of the story is the handsome, brooding FEMI FERNANDEZ who's
born into political royalty. His uncle is the incumbent Governor of
Lagos. His older brother is the youngest senator of the Federal
Republic. His maternal great-grandfather was a minister of the Old
Western region. Femi's father himself was been groomed for the
presidency till he fell victim to a violent military regime. That
fateful day, thirteen years ago when Femi was a mere boy of twelve, he
watched his father gunned down by assassins, leaving him with a heavy
psychological scar and a pathological cynicism towards life. After his
father's death, he was flown to the United Kingdom where he lived and
studied for another twelve years. He quickly concluded his education,
got his MBA by age twenty, worked at a top communications agency before
returning to Nigeria. Upon his return, he founded an advertising firm, HYPNOTICA, with his long time friend, KELECHI KANU and
in less than three years, the upstart agency with its combination of
fresh, innovative ideas and aggressive business development has become
the toast of the advertising world. At the young age of twenty five,
Femi seems to have it all: powerful political connections, loads of
money and the admiration of beautiful women all over the country.
However, his cynicism gets in the way of him finding true love. In the
affairs of the heart, this is one dude in distress, badly in need of a
damsel in shining armour.

This week's naijaborn is the beautiful and talented Chizzy Tim-Efobi. She's originally from Obosi, Anambra State and is currently based in Abuja.


Chizzy has a B.Sc in Microbiology and currently works as a P.A/Secretary to the Managing Director in a Medical Equipment Marketing Firm, but she's in the process of venturing into a career change because being a secretary isn't what she considers her true calling.

Chizzy sparked our curiosity and we've been compelled to put on our inquisitive hats to find out more about her:

How did you find out about naijaborn?
First off. I am most honored to be selected as naijaborn of the week. Wow!

Ok. So, I found out about naijaborn through an invite from a friend. I was and am still actually pleased by the concept of getting naijarians to show demselves in various ways... So very positive!

According to your profile, you're looking for a career change. If you had to pick any of your passions as a career job, which one will it be and why?

If I were looking to pursue a career change (which, if I may mention is well under way), I'd start up my dance school- well, after I've finished with professional training, of course. And then, get my books published! (Yes, I write o! And quite well too, if I may pat myself on the back). I love to dance.. for me, dance is not just moving your body, it's an art - a beautiful art. And writing, it's the best form of self-expression. I express all I am and all my thoughts in a better way when I write. So, I'd choose writing as a career pathway for people to FEEL me and see the world through me (not my eyes).

And finally do you have a message you will like to share with the rest of your
naijaborn members?

Final words to my naija people, set your sights, set your goals, and run the goal-keeper out of the post! As Naija, a wiseman said, "we soar, we fly, we reign." God first.

Best of luck with the dance school Chizzy. I'll be first in line for a lesson ;)

Naijaborn of the week is the extremely talented Wilson Joel, aka J’ADORE. 


He hails from Edo State, Nigeria and he’s currently based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Joel is a multi-faceted man with music, fashion and entrepreneurial skills. J’ADORE took sometime out of his busy schedule to have a chit chat with naijaborn:
 
How did you find out about naijaborn?

   Well, I am an info guru in the sense that I try to acquaint myself with
whatever is going on, in the Media Circus...From TV to Newspapers to
Radio and more of the internet...Now, I stay in Johannesburg at the
moment and I met this "great mind" called Francis Oghuma and he told me
about his baby called "naijaborn"...I joined the site and realized that
it is pretty fresh and it connects Nigeria to other Nigerians out
there and automatically sells us as well to the World at large.

 What inspired you to pursue your music career?

hmmm....Errrrmmm....I am not going to say I was "inspired" but I will
rather say that, I am a musician from Birth and when I came into this
world, music never stopped playing as well. My mum had a bar in
Lagos, Nigeria and it was always music all the way, she was also in her
church choir, my brother played the drums, another one played the trumpet, my
sister sings too, while another one was a great dancer and etc...My father
was a priest too...Lol! Well, music has always been burning in me even
though my dad once asked me about what I wanted to do and I responded as a
naive young boy "DOCTOR" . . . Lol! Anyways, music for me was about LIFE...I
wanted to LIVE my music and not make it just a career...I want to earn
from it and also use it to impact people...So I fell in Love with it the
more I thought of it. At some point, I had to get my ACTS together and
did one or two professional courses in Music Business/Musicianship...

Do you have any lessons to share for anyone who's thinking of
following the musician's path?

Well, just a few lessons basically....
1.If the reason why you came into music is to "HAMMER" like we say in
Nigeria, please go now and start selling pirated CDs cos that is where you
will get your "HAMMER" money from...Music is not for "wannabees"...It's a
PASSION, if you don't have it, YOU DON'T HAVE IT!!! 

2.For those who have been doing music PASSIONATELY, its not about the money
for you(even though the money is good)...Keep keepin' on...cos one day
soon, you will be celebrated as an ORIGINAL" and not a "WANNABE"....

And finally do you have a message you will like to share with the
rest of your naijaborn members?

Well, to all y'all....I wanna say to you guys : Let us all unite together
as Nigerians, as true Naija Blood...A white lady friend of mine went to
Nigeria and when she came back, she said this to me "NIGERIA IS A
GOLDMINE!!! IT'S JUST PAINFUL TO SEE SO MUCH BACK-BITING, HATRED AND DISCORD GOING ON THERE...and she finally ended her statement by saying
"IF ONLY YOUR PEOPLE CAN UNITE AND BE ONE,THAT COUNTRY WILL BE ENVIED BY THE WORLD AS THERE IS SO MUCH TALENT, MONEY AND WEALTH OF ALL KINDS IN YOUR COUNTRY".

 Let us not kill one another be it physically, emotionally, professionally or
 any of the "ally's"...WE CAN BE THE BEST!!!!!
 
Not only is the man talented, but wize beyond his years. Thanks for sharing Joel!
