From the very first edition, a number of brands came along for the ride, asking a simple question: How do we become part of this experience?

Edition after edition, these brands have aligned with the spirit of HERtitude and what it stands for. As we gear up for the fifth edition in 2026, we’re spotlighting some of the brands that have sponsored HERtitude and how they’ve won by showing up the right way.

2022 – 2023

In 2022 and 2023, Aura by Transcorp, Busha, and Chippercash brought the games, while GoMoney and Sparkle showed that nothing pulls a crowd faster than a Spin-the-Wheel and a good photo booth.

2024

In 2024, the feedback was unanimous: the turnout was massive, the energy was high, and the brands that gave the women something to do won the day.

Sparkle

They took over with a multi-layered approach: a treasure hunt, a beauty parlour for that festival glow-up, and a Quacktail sit-out bar for the vibes. 

The Verdict: They loved the energy and were already looking at this year. Their takeaway? Let’s get integrated even earlier and bring more upcoming female artists to the stage.

WILAN

They brought Boss Energy to the field with a leadership workshop paired with a fun dress-up photo booth. 

The Verdict: It was a total hit. They loved the engagement but offered practical gems: we need a bigger venue, better parking, and more on-stage announcements to keep the crowd in the loop.

Flying Fish

Kept the spirits high with an open bar and free drinks. 

The Verdict: They’ve got a taste for the HERtitude magic and want to see even more international collaborations and a bigger space to scale their activities.

HERtitude

Jack Daniels

A classic combo of an open bar/free drinks and a high-end photo activation. 

The Verdict: JD recognised the value immediately. Their feedback was simple: There will always be a huge turnout for HERtitude, so let’s get a venue that can hold the crowd!

Chicken Republic

They fed the fans! They gave free food to the first 20 attendees and ran a high-traffic sales station. 

The Verdict: Great event, but they’re looking for better real estate next time. Positioning is everything for visibility when the crowd gets thick. 

Thirdwave

Served up a mix of free drinks and premium cocktails/mocktails. 

The Verdict: They loved it but noticed the crowd’s hunger for knowledge, suggesting more engaging workshops on topics affecting women today.

Beauty Hut & Blue Poppy

These skincare brands focused on the Soft Life. Beauty Hut sold skincare products, while Blue Poppy gave out free face masks. 

The Verdict: Both are locked in for the future. Blue Poppy specifically wants to see those female celebrity artists take the stage in 2025/2026.

W-FM 91.7 & Sosa Drink

W-FM handled the amplification, while Sosa brought the Sip-and-Paint energy and free drinks.

The Verdict: W-FM gave us a 10/10 and wants to talk about media marginalisation next year. Sosa loved the infusion but wants more space to truly let their brand breathe.


HERtitude 2026 is happening this April, and the theme is Main Character Energy. Get your tickets here:


2025

If 2024 was about engagement, 2025 was about immersion. Brands became part of the lifestyle.

Nivea

The ultimate Soft Life activation. They hosted Sip-and-Paint sessions, Yoga & Relaxation zones, photo activations, and brought in celebrity guests, all while selling their skincare and makeup lines with cash prizes to boot. 

The Verdict: Nivea felt like the Main Character of the vendor village. They were thrilled with the conversion rates from the yoga mats to the sales counter and loved how the safe space vibe allowed women to try products comfortably. 

Filmhouse Cinemas

They kept it cinema-chic, offering free popcorn to attendees. 

The Verdict: As first-timers, they were blown away by the safe, inspiring space. They loved the four-month intentional planning journey with 91¿´ƬÍøվ but noted that VIP service timing and more freedom for booth customisation would make 2026 even better.

Indomie, Addme & Nutrify

The Holy Trinity of snacks and products. Indomie kept everyone full with free noodles and fun vibes. 

The Verdict: They highlighted the harassment-free objective of HERtitude as a major win. Their suggestion? Even more creative games like wine tasting, perfume mixing, and pottery.

Joy Soap (PZ Cussons)

They took pampering literally with product sales and free pedicures. 

The Verdict: There is nothing a HERtitude girl loves more than being taken care of. The foot rubs were a legendary move.

The Verdict: High-energy brands that thrived in the social atmosphere. They saw firsthand that HERtitude women have premium taste.

Riggs & Confetti

Distributed free products and engaged the crowd. 

The Verdict: They loved how welcoming and eager the audience was. Their big tip for next year? Let sponsors get on stage to announce giveaways and really hype the crowd.

As we look toward this year, the message from our brands is clear: More space, more female artists, and deeper integration. The brands that win at HERtitude don’t just show up; they grow with us. They understand that when you support a woman’s right to have fun, you earn a spot in her life, long after the music stops.

How to Shoot Your Friendship Shot With a Nigerian Woman, According to Nigerian Women /ships/how-to-shoot-friendship-shot/ Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:04:56 +0000 /?p=341474 Making new friends as an adult is hard. Making friends with Nigerian women? That’s a different level of difficulty. Between men who mistake friendliness for flirting and women who’ve been burnt by shady friendships, many women are cautious about letting new people into their circle. But if you genuinely want to be her friend, here’s how to do it without looking suspect.

“See gist? Join gist”

You can’t form a friendship without conversation. If she’s passionately arguing about whether Wizkid or Davido is the GOAT, and you have something interesting to add, that’s your in. Just don’t be a contrarian for vibes. Nobody likes the person who kills the flow of a conversation just to be different. *Amaka, 28, shares: 

“One of my closest friends today is someone I met at a restaurant. I was ranting about how some Nigerian waiters are super friendly, and she jumped in to agree. We started gisting like we had known each other forever. I left with a friend and a new restaurant plug.”

Pro tip: If you’re jumping into a conversation, add something meaningful or funny. Don’t just agree for agreement’s sake — contribute something that keeps the gist flowing.

“Never underestimate bathroom breaks in social gatherings”

If you’re looking for an organic way to make friends, the women’s bathroom in a fancy restaurant, club or even at all-women events like #HERtitude is prime real estate. Compliments flow freely, and bonds are formed over lipstick adjustments and outfit malfunctions. *Bimpe, 27, shares how she met two of her closest friends:

“Two of my cutest friendships started in the bathroom of a lounge. One was from helping a girl adjust her wig, and the other was from complimenting a woman’s dress. We exchanged numbers, started hanging out, and now, we’re pretty tight. To be honest, I’ve had to slow down a little because I’m always ready to make friends whenever I run into cute babes in the restroom. I watched Ayra’s “” video, and it was so relatable.”

Pro tip: A well-timed compliment is the ultimate icebreaker. If you see a babe struggling with her outfit, offer to help. Just don’t be overfamiliar; read the room.


TAKE THE QUIZ: Are You Really Your Best Friend’s Best Friend?


“Shared interests are your best bet”

Friendships thrive on common ground. If she’s talking about something you love — books, music, fitness, anime, skincare — contribute to the conversation naturally. You don’t need to force a deep connection in one conversation; just keep showing up and engaging over time. *Ife, 34, shares:

“I made a friend because she saw me reading a book she loved and struck up a conversation. Another one happened at the gym. She was struggling with a routine, I helped out, and we ended up bonding over how wicked personal trainers can be. We aren’t exactly friends friends, but we’ve gotten to that point of just looking out for each other in the gym. I think there’s a future where we become besties if we both lean into it. Fingers crossed.”

Pro tip: If she mentions something you’re also passionate about, don’t just nod, engage! Ask about her favorite book, recommend a song, or suggest a workout challenge if it’s a gym situation.

“Don’t lead with ‘Let’s be friends’”

Friendship is best when it happens naturally. Telling someone outright that you want to be their friend can come off as strange or even suspicious. Focus on being a fun, engaging person, and let the connection form on its own. *Kenny, 30, shares:

“A babe once came up to me at a wedding and said, ‘I think we’d make great friends.’ I smiled, but in my head, I was like, ‘Why? Do you want to use me for ritual?’ Obviously, I didn’t say that to her, but I felt the exchange was so random. I gave her my number sha because I didn’t know how to turn her down.”

Pro tip: Let the friendship form naturally through conversation and shared experiences. Announcing your intentions might make things super awkward.

“The mutual friend route is your surest plug”

If you and a potential friend have a mutual connection, use that to your advantage. Group hangouts, bridal showers, birthday parties, or even WhatsApp group chats are solid ways to ease into a new friendship without the awkwardness of a cold approach. *Esther, 24, shares how she connected with a babe on an aso-ebi girlies WhatsApp group. 

“I became friends with a girl because we were both on the bridal train of a wedding. We didn’t even like the bride that much, but we bonded over the ridiculous tasks they were giving us.”

Pro tip: Use group hangouts or online interactions to build rapport first. If you’re in a WhatsApp group chat together, react to her messages, share jokes, and ease into private conversations.

“Be consistent, but don’t force it”

Friendships need time to grow, so check in, send memes, and invite her out once in a while. But if she’s not reciprocating the energy, take the L in peace and move on. Not every friendship shot will land, and that’s okay. *Tolu, 28, can relate. 

“I remember liking this girl in my first year in uni. She just had this really cool vibe and I wanted to be in her clique so bad. We had a couple of exchanges in class, but she wasn’t getting my green light. So, I switched things up and tried to befriend her. But every time I reached out, she was either busy or unresponsive. I’d keep space for her in public lectures, and she’d appreciate my effort but it never went past that. I eventually took the hint and moved on. No hard feelings.”

Pro tip: Friendships should be mutual. If she’s not reciprocating your energy, don’t overstay your welcome. Some shots will miss, and that’s okay. Focus on people who genuinely want to connect.


Speaking of women supporting women, have you copped your tickets to #HERtitude2025? It’s 91¿´ƬÍøվ’s all-female concert, designed just for you. Don’t miss out on good vibes, great music, and a chance to connect with the hottest babes in Nigeria. Grab your tickets .

Old Nollywood, But Make It Fashion: How to Channel 90s & 2000s Glam /her/old-nollywood-glam-for-hertitude/ Wed, 05 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 /?p=341273 If there’s one thing Old Nollywood babes knew how to do, it was serving iconic fashion. From the slinky dresses of Regina Askia to the bold, thin brows of Eucharia-Anunobi, the 90s and 2000s were a golden era for statement style. And what better way to make an entrance at HERtitude than by channeling the retro glamour of this era? If you’re looking to turn heads and give hot babe energy, here’s how to bring Old Nollywood fashion into 2025.

1. Ankara & Adire

If Nollywood aunties of the 90s taught us anything, it’s that African prints will always be a slay. Whether it’s an Ankara two-piece, an adire wrap dress, or a structured boubou with exaggerated sleeves, the key is in the tailoring. You can wear Oleku (a short-sleeved top and wrapper combo). Pair with bold accessories, think chunky gold earrings and strappy heels, to add a modern twist.

2. Statement Sunglasses Are Non-Negotiable

Remember when Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde would pull up in those oversized, tinted sunglasses, serving boss babe realness? Well, that’s your blueprint. Go for retro, oval-shaped frames or dramatic cat-eye sunnies. Even better, pair them with a mini bag for that ultimate “rich aunty” aesthetic.

I loveeeee pretty Y2k glasses ❤🥰❤

3. Velvet, Satin & Silk—The Fabric of Luxury

Old Nollywood glam was all about looking expensive. The ladies of that era understood the assignment, draping themselves in velvet gowns, satin midi dresses, and silk blouses. Choose rich jewel tones—emerald green, deep burgundy, royal blue, you can even do black—and let the fabric do the talking. Bonus points if you add a thigh-high slit for drama.

4. Micro Bags & Chunky Gold Jewelry

Handbags in Old Nollywood movies were either comically large or adorably tiny—there was no in-between. For HERtitude, lean into the micro bag trend, preferably in a bold color or textured material. And don’t forget the jewelry—layered gold chains, oversized hoop earrings, and chunky rings are your best friends.


What’s a killer outfit without a place to show it off?

5. Short Skirts, Skimpy Dresses & Daring Fits

Let’s be real! Old Nollywood baddies didn’t shy away from showing some skin, and neither should you. Think mini skirts, halter tops, tube dresses, and body-hugging fits that scream confidence. Channel your inner Rita Dominic by rocking a bold, short dress paired with knee-high boots or strappy heels. Add a cropped leather jacket for that extra Y2K touch.

I looked high and low for some Y2K stuff on Amazon💕 hope this helps somebody

6. Hair & Makeup: The Ultimate Finishing Touch

Channel the 90s and 2000s with bold beauty choices. High ponytails, yaki flip, puffy afro, deep side parts, and sleek buns were signature looks. And we can’t talk Old Nollywood beauty without mentioning those thin, long, perfectly arched brows that Eucharia Anunobi and co. rocked effortlessly. Pair them with deep brown lip liner, ultra-glossy lips, shimmery eyeshadow, and—if you’re feeling daring—a pop of blue or green eyeliner. And if you’re feeling extra, throw in some body glitter—because why not?

7. The Ultimate Nollywood Diva Attitude

Style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how you wear it. The true essence of Old Nollywood glam is confidence. So, whether you’re rocking a corset dress, a matching set, or a power suit, wear it like you just stepped out of a scene.

HERtitude 2025 is themed Retro Glam, and we’re celebrating women who own their power, and what better way to embody that than by channeling the most iconic women of Old Nollywood? So, step out, serve lewks, and let the HERtitude energy flow. See you there, hot babes!

90% of this outfit is thrifted 😌
