A touch of green every where,a beautiful sight to behold! Cheers and smiles, pleasantries with warm embraces. That was the atmosphere at the 6th edition of the future awards which held some eighteen hours ago at the spacious Landmark events center on the shores of the popular Oniru beach.
It was simply awesome and inspiring! Well attended by most of those who believe in the strength and ideas of the Nigerian youth, all those who believe that the youth begins to lead tomorrow from today and that celebrating them is key to spurring them on and as well inspire them to do more in contributing to our dear nation's development.
A well attended occasion by children,youths and the grown ups. It all started from the entrance with the sharp contrast of the green carpet and the white beach sand leading to the beautifully decorated hall. Guest check-in started as scheduled and they all started arriving in their droves and the cameras started clicking away;from Bosworth international college to Wesley Girls college, Karen Young to Omotola Jolade-ekeinde , Pat Utomi to Dele Momodu,Joke Jaiyesimi to Kemi Adetiba, Flo Adefope to Segun Dangote,Omowunmi Akinifesi to Oyinda Osonowo, Jedi to Princess,and on goes the list.
The award event started 7:48pm with a sensational rendition of our national anthem by Segun Obe and Ego followed by a musical performance by the all girl group; Chase (Crat,Ollah and January) which carried enough energy to usher all in attendance into what to be expected- a fun filled evening.
Omowunmi Akinifesi and Gbemi Olateru were the first to present the first category(s) of award which was won by Muyideen Salau (Best use of advocacy) and Tolulope Iruoye (Best use of technology) and that marked the beginning of the anticipation.
Aisha Augie-Kuta after winning In her category told the story of the nigerian youth as bare as it is through the lens of her camera,it was food for thought for it captured the waste of a youth due to the system's inadequacy to support the survival of its progeny. Lara George quickly brought us back into the event from our wondering of the youths sufferings with her lovely performance and then Salewa (Tinsel) gave a little drama that got everyone laughing.
Mr Segun Aganga - the minister for finance gave the keynote address with honour. He described how Obi Ezekwesili and Dora Akunyili had described what to expect to him and how the youth organizers had held him spell bound with the delivery of the event,he went on to say how the anthem's rendition gave him a youthful feel and how much he loves the zeal and pride in the Nigerian youth. He highlighted our potentials as a nation and the need to through the youths make these potentials translate into better lives for all. The minister ended his address by asking all Nigerians and the youths in particular to live the words of the national anthem.
Freez , Lolo, Salewa, Geneviev, Omotola along with Lynx,Tosin Martins,Obiwon all presented different category of awards at this time before Sound sultan gave his energetic performance with MI which got the crowd going wow! Uche Nnaji(ouch!) Told the crowd about the pains of entrepreneurs and how system breakdown in the country militate against survival.
The creative director of the awards event Chude Jideonwo gave a thought provoking speech about the state of the federation,it shook everyone listening to the very bottom of their being the speech said all the event sought to tell. Dr Sid and Dolapo Oni took over as comp ere before Banky W performed why? (From W experience) with his band it was splendid.
The show went on and this time to its ebb, all those who deserve to be recognized has been recorgnized and those who stood out got honoured. It was an event not to be forgotten in a hurry as the thought of it is a souvenir to stay on the mind of the nations youth constantly reminding us that we are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow is here already it starts right now!
