In this Issue
Profuse apologies from the Compass publisher--Tamsin Barzane had nearly a week without the Internet, completely unanticipated. We hope you will forgive us this unintentional lapse.
The Compass will publish on Tuesdays rather than Mondays for the coming nine months due to a change in the editor's schedule.
This week?
**A feature on Nigerian canoe regattas and the upcoming Saminaka African Festival
**A column about the new exhibit space at Irie Vibes
**A column about African spirituality
Plus business and events news on Saminaka, virtual Nigeria!

HAWKING IN THE MARKET--SAMINAKA COMMERCIAL NEWS
***Ikorodu Market completed its expansion! Kiko Life and Cinnamon Brigade are now bigger, and the Market has been retextured with the look of old Yoruba turn-of-the-20th century buildings, rusty zinc roofs and all!
***Kiko Life has more beautiful skin lines and a new display! And don't neglect to check men's skins at her main store on Kiko sim! (But patronize us for her ladies' line, so she stays!)
***Cinnamon Brigade is starting to go shoe happy! The move of all traditional items from Tropicality is complete, so men's and women's clothing at CinnB is now all traditional, while that of Tropicality is contemporary and African inspired.
***New small stalls at small prices (with small prim allowances) will be up soon--great for vendors! We'd love a hair vendor, particularly, so if you have a friend....
***Response to The Saminaka Compass is great! As of this morning, our circulation is 98 and growing fast! Bring an advertiser to us and get a week's ad of your own for free! We have a targeted market interested in diaspora life, Africa, history, and culture--an intelligent bunch, with money to drop! Just the folks you'd like to reach.
***MANY MORE great bloggings on our Treasure Hunt!

Oliha Yiwama, Associate Editor
The capable and imaginative Oliha Yiwama is my Associate Editor--it is no accident that the Compass is being published soon after he came on board in SL! Oliha (as this week's column shows) is soon off to RL Nigeria, and will be sending us his observations and anecdotes--and when he returns, wooooo-eeeee! Things will be hopping at Saminaka with all kinds of new ventures! Oliha's got writing (newspaper and otherwise) in his past, present and future, and is sure to amuse and amaze.
