I am a fashion designer and fashion instructor, I am the Creative Director and fashion instructor at Whoopy Yun Clothings in Ibadan, Nigeria.  I teach young and indigent people fashion for free, there is an African proverbs that says "Don't give me fish to eat, but teach me how to fish", I believe that empowerment through skills acquisition,  especially for young ones who didnt have formal education, is a way to reduce extreme poverty and social exclusion in Africa. In view of these, we are doing all we can to empower youths. Whoopy Yun Clothings is in collaboration with Oyo state government, through the office of the Special Adviser to the Oyo state Governor on education, we train secondary school students who have interest in fashion, we train them for free. At Whoopy Yun Clothings, we also try to rehabilitate young girls who are into cross-generational relationship with older men popularly known "sugardaddy" and "runs", by empowering them through skills acquisition in fashion.
