Promoting Others

I came across an old family friend on Facebook today. FB does rock 'cos you won't believe the number of peeps you've lost contact with and then all of a sudden they appear out of nowhere.. So we got chatting and this old pal has done really good for himself...we went to same elementary school as kids and of course you know how that goes, we didn't conversate much while growing up...so just chatting with him today made me go wow! Ol' pal is all grown into a fine young man...and running his own business. I didn't hesitate to add him to our list of insipirations. This inspiration goes waaaay back in time and did i already say how proud I am?

Going through his portfolio, he has done a number of good works from SoundCity to Trainning and resource sites, Educational sites and to hosting our very own koko-master's site. On a side-note D'banj has got to be the most craziest dude alive. Needless to say his site is banging and the most amusing of it all was the little excerpt of his voice on any page about to load..... 'hmmmm the koko is loading'....lol! Y'all shld check it out!

So this goes to the Future generation of Nigeria. We do have very intelligent peeps in Nigeria who have done well for themselves and a lot of us who are coming up the ladder...my dear family friend - Segun Ajiboye is part of them. We all need to keep encouraging the young generation 'cos their acumen and creativity is beyond comprehension and there's so much still yet they can do for Naija.

Having said that, the 'Future Awards' nomination has started. So guys, please take some time to nominate people like Segun and em...peeps like us - Jotees (gotsa promote ourselves too) for categories such as the 'Entreprenuer of the Year' award. To nominate, please go here -http://www.thefuturenigeria.com/nominate.php

Someone else I strongly believe deserves recognition is:

Onada - For her great works in reaching out to needy children worldwide. There might not be a category for deeds such as this, but please feel free to create your own category jare...that way the organizers/judges know that in 2009 they ought to create a category for this.

For questions on nomination categories, post them up...I'd be glad to answer them.

Thanks and God bless y'all as you nominate!

I am glad you enjoyed my latest post.
i like the different ankara and adire on your pervious post.if only africans would wear more of their traditional clothes, the textile industry would definetly get a major boost but we all like to dress like the oyinbo.
we do have a lot of creative people in Naija,but i wish parents would watch their kids and encourage them to become what they are destined to be.
there are a lot of creative people out there with no direction or motivation, a result of being labelled as a nonentity. I wonder when people will start seeing the creative arts as it really is.

Nigerians are an incredible people. Unfortunately a small minority have taken it upon themselves to soil our reputation abroad and within the country by succumbing to greed and ignoring their conscience.

Oh well. Off to check out the nominees.
