Joy Isi Bewaji
UrbanCode is a work life magazine that questions the life of the workaholic. The quarterly glossy addresses the needs of the busy employee or entrepreneur working their butts off in a cubicle with very little time to watch the sun set.
With a hip launch in 2010 at Sheraton, and a soft launch in March this year at Waterfalls Lounge, the mood is set to address the emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual needs of the working class.
Gracing the cover of the second edition are two inspiring entrepreneurs – Bose Olanihun, CEO of Buttons. The couturier is making a difference in the fashion industry one button at a time. Beside her is Chinelo Utaku, MD Lotem, building a plastic empire.
UrbanCode aims to provide options for a balanced life.

this sounds interesting. but am sure if i buy it, it’ll be a different experience. too many magazines with no spark. look at wow, complete fashion, sleek weekly, beautiful package, no content. they should all refund my money!
who are the women on the cover?
cut and paste dont work on a cover. the positioning of the models are wrong.
i came to this page thinking Joy had one of her sizzling articles, just to see this?! there’s nothing to catch my attention on this cover. which one is my plastic story again? is dat the best title to come up with?
yes oh! we workers need some spice. may be i’ll buy this, may be not, but i have my doubts. I dont like the cover. not sure why
i think its the titles, they are not catchy. it looks like a wannabe mag. after Mania, i gave up on nigeria mags. no content. na picture we go chop?
they should have taken the picture together, not cut and paste. urban code sounds like a real estate magazine
chai! see as Joy do us 419. let’s have a beautiful article of this ur headline pleeeeeease!
it looks promising, but i dont think there’s any creativity here. good effort still
how many magazines are we going to buy sef? and dey dont come cheap. if am going to take out my money to buy a mag it has to one: catch my eye with picture, catch my intellect with the headlines, and keep me faithful with content oh. i don talk my own
what is going to make me buy this magazine. the titles on the cover are so randomly boring and over-flogged. i miss truelove. south africans left and madam bola couldnt do anything! shame! dat is the issue in naija: nothing is based on talent, everything is on privilege.
while we are busy looking for musicians, comedian, and actors, we should build writers. there are no writers, talkless of editors, read citypeople, even the so called glossies. those days students read newspapers to learn vocabulary, no more! the blunders in papers and mags these days go make u bow! if u have money to spend on a mag, why not spend on good writers??? its d naija mentality: build a good company and emplo the cheapest labour. nothing to do with this mag oh, just lamenting my own
these two women don’t seem like they are having enough sex either! Sorry Joy, I know what you are trying to do with your title, and I love it! Gosh! i always love to read ur stuff! BUT not even your hot headline can save this mag. i am looking at the cover now, and i am wondering: so we have mania, complete fashion, wow, genevieve, tw, wow, blast…and this is the best this newcomer can come up with?
please am looking for a job, maybe I can apply at this mag. I am an upcoming stylist
look at the ordinary shirt that lady is wearing on the cover! kai!
don’t think these women are having enough sex either! lmao!!!
‘nothing is based on talent, everything is on privilege’. u are right. everything in naija is man-know-man. instead of hiring able hands they’d get cheap labour or hire their siblings, and make their cousins managers. that’s why we suffer. I’ve never heard of this mag, am not surprised why.
so Joy managed to bring me to dis page with her sexy headline. I don ‘cum’… bye bye!
Not fair o joy! U made me spend 5whole minutes waiting fr this page to load!where is d sex talk??? 🙁
nice cover seemingly interesting articles.i hope the content is as good as what i see here.
interesting cover.i have never seen any like this in nigeria.how do we know what was written inside?is there something fishy with these comments? side eye look*
lol! in Naija everything has to be fishy. If u allow ur product up on the web, u shouldnt be surprised with critical comments. dats wat the web ensures. as much as i will not run this down, i know for a fact that magazines fall short in excellence. what brought me here was Joy’s headline. so this for me is an anti-climax. unless she has an article in this magazine about workers not getting enough sex…cos it sounds like an interesting subject.
wat is this mag all about,is it about the two ladies on the page or to tell us the real deals in our community.U go fit beat other mags soooo,u go try.
