Who doesnt know Encomium Magazine?
Oh i can never forgot how hard it was in the beginning and that feeling when my first story made cover page or when ALL my stories made cover.....
This photo is memory lane for me and these are the people i began my 'Journalist adventure' with.They made the beginning worth the stress one goes through sourcing for stories.
This photo is my guinness book of records and i am grateful that each person in this pic crossed my path,even some were for the better and some of them ended up in my 'bad' book ...LMAO!
I miss them all!

What a coincidence! I just googled this after to see the pixs of the lucky man who has got SDK's heart (her hubby) and I came across stories of how you wrote column for encomium and d stories of ur friendship with Egor Efiok n Linda. You ve gone a long way and may God bless and increase you. Amen. I was disappointed though as Google do not have even a copy of Korkus's pix. U stingy share. Lol

DeleteStella you look so beautiful from afar. (Or is it my glasses)
Oho, Ga-damn. Damn. I reserve my yabbings.
Hold on, Stalla, why is your face shifted to one side like some chick who just received a blowjob? Or some faces that's just been hit by Keke. Damn.

Stella I am your biggest fan.from hints magazine to encomium magazine.from when you were just stella dimoko..oh! My week wasn't complete without gist cafe..
I almost got sent out of exam hall when I was writing my WAEC cos the invigilator caught me with a copy of encomium magazine.
I stopped buying encomium mag in 2012 when I discovered this blog.
You've come a long way stells! Keep doing what you do best.more grease to your wheels.

ReplyDeleteCouldn't go a day w/o reading it.
Stella u ve really come a long way... I remember gist cafe, tatafo bird, and whisperings here and dere. Lols. Then in the early 2000, while seeking admission, i worked in a big restaurant, my madam would buy Encomium and i would be praying for her to drop it in the office and go out as usual so i could sneak inside and read it before she comes back. *memories*
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness who would have thought you had such a hot bod, wow! Having kids can take a toll on a woman's body oh chai. Its going to be my first and even with all the crayness, I couldn't ask for more and I'm glad I made this decision to give this angel life and do right by God. I am so hopeful for our future and can't wait to meet her..
ReplyDeleteIt's well with you
