But while traditional, formal and regular casual wear has dominated our fashion landscape for most of its existence, the country’s population has begun to embrace other dressing modes. Take streetwear, for instance. It’s a trend that’s taken off in urban Nigeria in just the past couple of decades. And it’s become the in-thing, especially among city-dwelling youth in first-tier metropolises. Initially, much of the streetwear in Nigeria was imported. But there’s recently been a surge in the number of fashion brands putting out clothes in this category. One of them, Severe Nature, is going all in on the trend, with sweaters, jackets, shorts and accessories that are expressive and echo a sense of individualism—exactly what you’d expect of streetwear. Severe Nature makes and sells garb for men and women—knickers, jeans and tracksuit pants; Tee shirts and button-down tops of varying colours; knitted vests and hoodies; and hats, pouches and bags that compliment typical urban wear. These items can be purchased from the company’s online store, which showcases a collection of them for visitors’ casual perusal.

Established in 2012, Severe Nature was set up by a team of three: Christopher Afolabi, Tobi Adeleye, and Michael Atobalele (now late). Its first home was in Canada, and there was little trouble attracting buyers in a market that was already familiar with streetwear. But the founders soon realized that there was an opportunity to launch in Nigeria, where locally-made streetwear was still scarce. In 2016, the Severe Nature team spun a presence in their home country. They say it’s been received well, with customers voicing out their gratefulness for being able to shop for streetwear on a website and have it delivered to them in a relatively short time span. This is possible because the brand operates from within Nigeria. Since it came on the scene, Severe Nature has yielded a number of seasonal collections. They include ‘Kats’, from the spring of 2016, and ‘Forest Men’, a pre-fall of 2019 collection. There’s also the ‘S Star Knit Set,’ a multi-purpose array for 2023, which comprises tops and shorts, and is designed for use as both home wear and outing attire.

Although some of the items on its hangers are fit for use by people across diverse demographics, this brand specifically targets Millennials and Gen Zs. Its pricing method also suggests that it has middle-class Nigerians in its sights. Featured Image Source: Severe Nature

I recently hired the best team of hackers known as RecoveryBureauC to help me bust my cheating wife. They were able to clone her phone and with the help of sophisticated spyware, I was able to mirror her phone’s activity and gain access to her emails, text messages, and other data. I was shocked and horrified to discover that not only was she cheating, but that she was actively planning to leave me and my 3 year old son. I couldn’t believe the level of betrayal, as she ridiculed me with her friends while I was busy trying to make our marriage work.
The process only took close to an hour, and I’m still spying on her as I haven’t yet gathered enough courage to confront her. Every day, it seems like I discover more and more about her infidelity, and I’m heartbroken but relieved to have enough motive to close this bad chapter of my life. I hate that I had to resort to spying on her, but she left me no choice.
I want to thank RecoveryBureauC for their professionalism, they are the real deal. I would not waste my time with any of these other hackers, and wish I had known about them sooner. The use of spywares, bugs, and malwares to hack into phones and other data is a highly technical and advanced process, and RecoveryBureauC were able to carry out the task with skill and expertise. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation. You can email them at RECOVERYBUREAUC @ GMAIL C0M
