Lost in the midst of finding oneself.
Lost in thousands dreams and aspirations.
Lost with plans and counter plans.
Lost so thou can be found.
May I find thee
More than I find myself.
May I get lost in thy ways.
May thee locate me more than
I locate thee.
Let my dreams be a reflection of thy plans.
Let me be lost in thee.
Let my career be my destiny.
And my joy thy purpose.
Till I find myself
Or till I find thee.
Let thy word be my guide.
Lost so I can be found.

Do you know of any amazing male housemate Salone star? List them in the comment below and I will write about them.
Tolu Jethro Bade is the man changing the concept of entrepreneurship in Sierra Leone by using photography. A Nigerian with Jamaican ancestry, he lives and works in Sierra Leone.
“When I started photography in 2017, most people didn’t respect photography or photographers as compared to lawyers and doctors. The craft wasn’t well branded as compared to the artistry and glorification it has in Nigeria for example. I had to change that perception. Today, having a camera and taking a picture is cliché. Even though it’s picking up pace slowly and it’s much admired, there’s still much effort needed to brand the profession. Photography is a very difficult ordeal which requires enormous amounts of creativity and discipline. It may be even more difficult than most professions in the world. When it comes to being a doctor, there are books you can read.
He said he is not sure there are books on how to be a creative photographer because being a photographer that stands out from the competitive crowd means discovering your own inner creativity and displaying it in ways that wow people. Knowing how to take a picture is one thing and knowing how to be a photographer is another.
Tolu loves telling stories of people and culture in Sierra Leone through pictures and depicting beautiful landscapes and sunsets.
” Photography discovered me and as a creative artist, photography is a medium in which I use to express myself mainly.”
When photography discovered him, Tolu took his time to bond with the craft by everyday practice, trial, and errors and constant learning.
“I graduated with a BSc in computer science at Njala University in 2014. My first job was a graphic designer at ‘Call to do Business’. Then I worked for UNICEF Sierra Leone for two years and Africell for one year as their graphic designer. While being a graphic designer at UNICEF, photography introduced herself to me and I fell in love with her.”
There are many Africans that want to start up businesses but usually fail because they do not take the required steps. They see education, being an apprentice and voluntarism as a waste of time but Tolu is an exception and an example to many. Today his creative studio is one of the leading studios in Sierra Leone and it is more than just a studio but a creative hub for young people.
“Envizage Concepts it’s not just about photography but about creative arts. It’s about expressing yourself as a youth and using photography, graphic design or videography to display that self-expression. Young Sierra Leoneans come to learn, get inspired and explore their own creative abilities in order to make a difference in their lives and communities by using these mediums.”
For the past 9 years, Tolu has used his skill and knowledge to inspire many upcoming gurus in his field. Ever since his establishment of Envizage Concepts two years ago, Tolu has trained more than ten youth especially females in photography wherein they used the craft as a self-confidence and self-esteem booster.
Here are a few of his mentees:
1. Camareh Sarah Kamara – Photographer, Reality Television Star and Best female Photographer 2017
2. Joy Gborie – Best female photographer 2018.
3: Grace Kamanda – freelance photographer
4. David Moore – owns Dave Images and the official Photographer of Housemate Sierra Leone 2019
5. Harold Davies – Depth Vision
6. Daniel Kamara – Model at Zee factor also a photographer.
He also provides holiday jobs and internship opportunity for young people.
” I always let any youth I train know that Envisage Concepts is not the final destination and that the world is theirs to explore. They have to make a name for themselves, impact and change lives through art.
In most African setting bosses or trainers never want their students to be self-reliant but to work for them as long as possible. This is a concept we need to change.
This 37-year-old entrepreneur has created the most classical and fascinating creative studio in Sierra Leone. His studio now is a reliable friend for most celebrities in Sierra Leone and the official creative studio for many private individuals, companies, and NGOs. Tolu regards all his clients as important clients no matter their size or age.
“I don’t grade clients by popularity, I treat everyone equally. Whether you are a young child or an elderly person, they are all important and I treat them fairly. Nobody is bigger than the other. Some just have the ability to pay more money.”
Tolu for the most part of his life has considered himself as a global citizen even though he does not possess a UN passport. This is due to the fact that he believes we are not limited to our place of birth to make an impact but wherever we find ourselves in the universe.
“It’s not about where one is from or which citizenship which one holds, It’s about what we are doing in the world we find ourselves and the impact we creating in the lives of people around us.”
We live in a world that is full of conflicts and rivalry between and within countries, race, tribes, political parties, communities and families. The family which every human being belongs to has a significant part to play in these conflicts. But it’s sad to say there is also much rivalry in the family today. These have made it hard for a child at an early age to understand love, mutual respect, consideration, compromise and other human values.
My mum, Mrs Annie John, a lady in her late 40’s have always make us her children believe that we are all her best and favourites, children. These have promoted love and unity among us.
” Mama please don’t watch Tv at night till I finished my examination “
My younger brother, 14 years, Sinava John is my mum’s best child.
Her recently arrangement with my little brother amazed us very much. Sivana told her if she wants him to study, she should to not watching Television at night. She wholeheartedly accepted. My mum is someone that love movies so much she used to spend every Sunday watching movies. When she was much younger, she will leave her business to be in the cinema. Due to the love, she has for my little brother she is ready to sacrifice it. In most African home, a kid can’t mistake to say such.
” Go watch if dem don plant (braids ) you sister don”
My younger sister,19 years, Konia John is my mum’s best child.
My younger sister is enjoying her after High school life, she just braids her hair. It takes a long time before the lady could finish it and it was late. Every 10 minutes, my mum would ask us to check on her. She just keeps sending us to her and everyone notice how much she cares and love for her.
I, Bosedeh George, 24 years old, I’m my mum best child.
“You mama Lek you ooh, a yo e born?”
She has pampered me and give me the best life. Everyone that knows me will instantly know I’m for a family where I have enjoyed so much love. When I was in primary school I was believed by many people to be stupid and lazy. I lost my books almost every day and always fail my weekly spelling test. She still shows me love and gives me new books every day. She does not “beat” me very much and I am grateful for that. Whenever I failed and repeated a class, she will buy new uniforms and increase my lunch. I love my mum very much.
Her love and concern have been what have kept us all these years, it has inspired and strengthened us every day. One day we will make her the on happiest mum on earth.
