• Gen. Yakubu Gowon Says Two Christian Friends in Plateau Betrayed Him in New Memoir

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd.), has revealed that two of his Christian friends from Plateau State betrayed him, saying the experience remains one of the painful memories of his life.

Gowon made the revelation in his newly launched memoir, My Life of Duty, unveiled in Abuja during a ceremony attended by prominent national figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, former First Lady Aisha Buhari, former Heads of State, senior military officers, diplomats, and other distinguished guests.

In the book, the former Head of State recalled that two of his Christian friends in Plateau State abandoned and betrayed him, noting that the incident left a lasting emotional impact.

According to Gowon, despite the passage of time, he still feels the pain of what he described as their betrayal.

The elder statesman explained that one of the major reasons for writing My Life of Duty was to correct what he described as longstanding misconceptions and inaccurate interpretations about his life, his leadership, and the policies of his administration.

He said the memoir offers his personal account of key events in Nigeria

  • Three Years After Lalong Left Office, Nigerians Reflect on His Legacy

Three years after the administration of former Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong came to an end, residents and political observers have continued to reflect on his eight-year tenure, with discussions centering on his achievements, shortcomings, and overall legacy.

Across social media platforms and public forums, many Nigerians have been asking a common question: "Three years after the Lalong administration ended, what stands out most to you about his time in office?"

The question has generated diverse reactions, with some respondents highlighting infrastructure development, road construction, educational reforms, and efforts to promote peaceful coexistence during his administration.

Others, however, pointed to persistent security challenges, economic concerns, unemployment, and governance issues, arguing that these remain among the defining aspects of Lalong

The woman in the suit explores how the tailored suit has become more than a fashion choice and how it is a statement of power, purpose and modern femininity.

There is something undeniably striking about a woman in a suit. It is not just the sharp lapels or the confident shoulders, it is the message it sends.

In a world where femininity has often been defined by softness, the suit stands tall as a quiet rebellion.

It is no longer borrowed from men, it has been reclaimed, reimagined, and reshaped to reflect grit, grace and agency of today’s woman.

This is not about trends, it is about intention.

It is about showing up for the boardroom meeting, for the moment, for herself in a structure that does not confine but defines.

’’ A SUIT HOLDS POWER, PRESENCE AND PURPOSE. IT IS NEVER JUST A SUIT.’’

From classic tailoring to experimental cuts, the woman in suit is not trying to fit in, she is here to take up space with purpose, with power, and with style that speaks louder than words.

The Suit As Symbol

For men, it has long stood as a default, a signal of professionalism, stature, masculinity and respect.

But, when A woman steps in a suit, the symbolism multiplies. Oh yes! It becomes a statement, a shift, even a subtle provocation. She is no longer dressing for the gaze, she is dressing from a place of power.

The story of the suit in women’s fashion is at its core, a story of resistance and reinvention. In the 1930s Marlene Dietrich caused a scandal by wearing tailored suits and tuxedos with unapologetic ease.

In the 60s and ‘70s, Yves Saint Laurent introduced ‘’Le Smoking’’ a tuxedo made for women, challenging the idea that power belonged only to men in tailored silhouettes.

Fast-forward to today, the suit has undergone countless transformations, but the essence remains: control, command and choice.

The styles have changed, but the motive has not. It is about showing up on her own terms-dressed not to shrink, but to shape the space around her.

As Giorgio Armani once said:

‘’THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STYLE AND FASHION IS QUALITY.’’

Today’s suit is not about trend, it is about truth. For the woman in suit, that quality lies not only in fabric, but in conviction.

Precision tailoring may sculpt the silhouette, but it is purpose that brings it to life.

The Emotional Architecture Of A Suit

The perfect suit does not just fit the body-it fits the moment.

There is an unspoken ritual in slipping into something structured.

The transformation is subtle but undeniable, it is not about wanting to become someone else, but becoming more fully yourself.

The woman in the suit is not performing power, she is embodying it.

In an era of curated chaos, fast fashion, fleeting trends and constant noise, the tailored suit feels like a grounding force. It does not shout, but it is never ignored.

It does not beg for approval, but commands respect. And in many ways, it reflects the woman who wears it: composed, intentional, unapologetically in control.

The very act of choosing to wear a suit, especially in spaces where femininity is expected to be soft, fluid or ornamental becomes a quiet rebellion, a refusal to be diluted.

The power suit is not just a strategy, it is an emotional anchor. A second skin that holds shape when the world tries to pull you apart.

The woman in suit is not dressing to protect herself, she is dressing to show up fully-ready, grounded and unwilling to shrink. As Michelle Obama once said,

‘’YOUR STORY IS WHAT YOU HAVE, AND WHAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE. IT IS SOMETHING TO OWN.’’

And what better way to own it than with structure that reflects beauty, confidence and strength.

Beneath the seams and stitching lies something more, a kind of emotional architecture.

Confidence built into clean cuts, discipline tucked into every dart, and grit silently sewn in between the lining and the label.

Fashion meets Identity

Style has always been a language for women, the suit has become one of its boldest most distinct expressions.

Once a symbol of assimilation, power dressing now speaks of autonomy and today’s woman in suit is not trying to fit in, she is standing firm.

This is where fashion meets identity. Not in trends or loud logos, but in the quiet force of tailoring a sharp cut, a chosen fabric, a thoughtful silhouette.

The same garment,yet deeply personal. For some, it says elegance and for others, edge.

As gender lines blur and style becomes more fluid, tailored fashion for women reflects far more than aesthetics.

It reflects power, presence and purpose. Whether oversized or fitted, pinstriped or pastel, the suit adapts not to the world, but to the woman.

Today’s woman in suit is not seeking permission, she is expressing identity, declaring confidence and redefining what it means to show up.

‘’ A WOMAN IN A SUIT IS NOT ASKING TO BELONG, SHE ALREADY DOES.’’

The New Feminine Fit

Power dressing is being redefined. Where suits once meant fine lines and sharp silhouettes, modern tailoring now embraces fluidity, softness and ease.

Designers like Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham and the Row are leading the shift, showing that structure can be soft and still strong.

Today’s woman suits are made to move with you, not against you.

From blush pinks and rich browns, tangerine orange and silk blazers, the feminine fit is no longer about mimicking masculinity. It is about reclaiming strength, confidence and grit on new terms.

On runways and in street style , fluid fashion is thriving.

Think Zendaya in custom Fear of God or Tilda Swinton’s signature suiting. It is not about gender, but energy.

The suit is a statement of identity: expressive, fluid and unmistakably feminine.

‘’ THE NEW SUIT DOES NOT CONFORM, IT MOVES, FLOW AND OWNS THE ROOM.’’

The Suit As A Statement

Today, the suit is not just about style, it is about presence and for many women, it is an armour, memory and movement in one.

Whether worn to a pitch, an event or a solo dinner, it carries stories of resilience, grit, confidence of power reclaimed.

This is power dressing redefined, not loud but grounded. Not built to impress, but to anchor. The modern suit does not confine, it stays true.

From boardrooms to fitting rooms, women are choosing tailored confidence.

Choosing only fabric that fortify, not flatter, lines and silhouettes that reflects strength, not suppress softness.

Wearing suit today is not about asking for space. The woman in suit is not asking to be taken seriously, she already is.
