Next Big Thing magazine Canada started off with 5-page spreads inside the Nigerian Canadian Newspaper which covered stories on Canadian PM Stephen Harper, former Governor General Rt Hon Michaelle Jean and the likes. In late 2009. there was an amicable separation which led to Bode venturing out on his own. Starting January 2010, using his feeding allowance and pocket money, Bode saved up to publish Next Big Thing's first international edition that featured HRH Queen Elizabeth II as the cover story. It's been four years after publishing the first issue in January 2010, Next Big Thing has grown and maintained its credibility to portray intelligent, smart and bold women between 25 and 50 years old, who love fashion, beauty, healthy living, travel, home design, music and film in North America and Europe. Next Big Thing magazine Canada is published by TIME Corporate Groupe in Ottawa, Ontario.
