INTRODUCING THE BEST OF EDO AWARD 2019

Calvin Coolidge, former United State president and lawyer once said that no person was ever honoured for what he received, rather honour has been the reward for what one gave out to the society. This, no doubt is a statement of fact and true reflection of hard work, consistency, commitment and dedication to service.

On behalf of Walkfront African Network, initiator of the Best of Edo Awards and the 2019 organizing team, we are pleased to announce the commencement of the planning for 2019 edition of BEST OF EDO AWARDS with a theme: To Inspire.

The event which was introduced in 2018 with about 15 award categories drawn from various sector of the economy was design to recognize successful and hard working industry achievers who have done well in their various feild of work.

Over time the achievements of our people have gone unnoticed and unrewarded. Although these people excelled in their chosen fields of endeavors, many of them were not recognized, none celebrated in their life time at least not at home among their people.

Now BOEA (Best of Edo Award) is saying, NEVER AGAIN! We want to celebrate the Best of our people by recognizing their exploits and achievements before their Obituaries. As the popular yet less mentioned saying puts it, Give people their flowers whilst they are living and can appreciate it and not at their funerals, BOEA wants to tell them, thank you for showing the way to the possibilities that are out there as long as one is diligent and excellent in their work.

We are using this medium to call in for nominations of edo sons and daughters home and in the diaspora in the following categories; Entertainment, Business, Health, Politics, Religion, Academia, Banking & Finance, Arts & Culture, Telecommunication, Transport, Sports, Music, Media, Legal, Movie, Comedy, NGO, Security, Hospitality, Oil & gas.

Send name, current location and a brief profile of nominee/ organisation to walkfrontafrica@gmail.com. All nominations should be forwarded to walkfrontafrica@gmail.com from May 30th, 2019 till June 30th, 2019.

All nominations and final selected individuals for the 2019 edition of BOEA will be uploaded on the Best of Edo Award official website.

The awards in their categories will be conferred on well-deserved recipients (Home and in Diaspora) in a grand style event proposed to hold in October, 2019.

We are using this medium also to call for SPONSORSHP/PARTNERSHIP. You can sell your goods and services from anywhere around the world to a very wide market through our event. Contact us now.

HOW BOB MARLEYS DAUGHTER SAVES JAMAICAN WOMENS SOCCER TEAM ON WORLD CUP PATH

Cedella Marley, the eldest daughter of music legend Bob Marley, has played a key role in resurrecting the Jamaican women’s soccer team after the country’s federation cut the funding at the beginning of the decade.

Marley was upset when she saw a flier asking for donations to the Jamaican national team when her son brought it home from school in 2014.

“People were saying no to (the women), and it was for no reason,” Cedella recalled in an ESPN story published Tuesday. “The more I got involved, the angrier I got.”

Fast forward to 2019 and the Reggae Girlz are the first Caribbean team to compete in the World Cup, slated to begin this weekend in France. Their redemption story began with Marley spearheading the fundraising efforts and using her pull — as a top executive for her father’s record label, Tuff Gong — to raise awareness for the women’s group of pioneers.

Women Forum 25.05.2019 – discuss different topics and workshop

African women and girls are the groups most affected by poverty. Lack of access to education, health care, technology, political
participation, country and economic opportunities and the experience of gender-based exploitation and discrimination is
structural stumbling blocks. Although they account for 61.9% economically produced goods, only 8.5% of African wage earners in the non-agricultural sector are women. At the same time, according to UNESCO, two-thirds of the global population are uneducated female.
However, only if the chances of women’s participation in education, economy, society, and policy can be improved, the overall
situation in Africa will improve. Because the first teacher, supervisor, and boss in every man’s life is a woman.

 

Young Leaders Forum 25.05.2019 – discuss different topics and workshop

This conference unit was developed with the aim of bringing future executives of the Diaspora and Africa to enable them to address cultural identity problems and to overcome structural disadvantages, to become innovative global actors and active players and to become co-designers of Agenda 2063.
