Zim Link aims to promote the free exchange of information and knowledge with local people through film, media and photography.
Our first project will be to travel to Zimbabwe and use film and photography to empower individuals to work together to create better understanding of the world around us. We will join together with our brothers and sisters to learn and transform our understanding, creating new links to encourage a better understanding of the planet we live in.
As part of the trip we will be taking camera’s and equipment to be donated to some of the village schools so that children can have them to work with. We will be exchanging skills in web design, blogging and social media with the schools. We will also be documenting the journey and creating a short film to share with Zimbabwe and the world.
This project will be run in collaboration with Media4youth and has the potential to create new partnerships with Zimbabwe and empower individuals and organisations to express themselves through various forms of media. It will have both economic and social benefits for both societies. Zim Link promote the active participation of local communities in development and understanding of other cultures, through education, understanding and empowerment.
I was interviewed by Tony Tokunbo Eteka Fernandez from AFRICA4U in conjunction with ZIMLINK Organisation ( UNITED-KINGDOM) who congratulated me for winning the best author ( BEFFTA AWARD. 2013) and also for being an inspiration to many young people out there especially on the social media ( Facebook). MR Fernandez, also interviewed me on how I was able to turn my life around, considering some of the challenges I had to overcome to become an author and motivational speaker and if there is a chance for me becoming a role model or mentor to some of the youth within the ethnic minority by empowering them to turn their lives around as well.
I began by saying that, life itself is a challenge but the question is how an individual see and perceives the challenges of life will determine what they do and how they overcome it. It is vital that society appreciate and value the future of our youth by focusing our attention on some of major challenges facing the youth of today. Until we are able to do this, we will never be able to help them to overcome some of the complex challenges facing them such as drug abuse, crime, violence, sexuality and poverty.
Some of the youth are now having an identity issue, not actually discovering themselves and because of that, they Lack their self-confidence, developing low self-esteem (their worth in life or purpose in life) and majority of them have lost their hope in society. The only way these challenges or issues faced by our youth can be address is by them having the following four things:
• Having mentor ( positive role models in their lives)
• Discovering themselves as individuals ( their unique identity)
• Discovering their purpose in life( why they are here and where they aspire to be)
• Discover their interest ( talents and gifting )
• The youth should be ready to learn some positive things from their peers, family and society in general.
Are you an organisation working with youth?
Are you a youth and do you have a mentor in your life
Do you want to be inspired to discover yourself and to improve your self-esteem?
Then please you can email me at info@ ferdinardlawson.com or inbox me.

My name is Tony Airhenbuwa but i am often referred to as TONY AIR by friends and fans, I am the Programs director at AFRICAN HERITAGE on FM Radio 96.0 in Hamburg Germany and originally from Edo State Nigeria
.I am passionate about good music, entertaining, and hosting ceremonies and started The Programme “Whats up Naija” in the year 2010 on TopAfric Radio, Hamburg, Germany
My aim was to create a platform to communicate and discuss issues about Nigerians in Diaspora and at the same time entertain them with good music and interviews. I am passionate about letting our communities and Nigerians back home know about Africans making us proud in Diaspora. , I called the programme WHATS UP NAIJA as a way of projecting the positive developments in my home land and at the same time create a sense of unity, belonging and social harmony among Nigerians all over the world
I felt inspired to start the show because I believe no one can tell your story better than yourself and to entertain/inform Nigerians in Diaspora get the latest news, music and African artist that come to Germany to perform.
I have interviewed the likes of MC LOPH, J MARTINS, DUNCAN MIGHTY, FUSE ODG, CASTRO & NANA BORO, MEMBERS OF NIGERIA DELEGATION ON NATIONAL PLANING TO Germany, MOJE QUEEN FEMALE FOOTBALL Team FROM NIGERIA,Wizboy and many more.
Show business has always been part of me and coming to Germany has opened the way for this dream come through.
, My skills as a Compere and MC has also helped me to overcome being nervous on Air. And the fact that I enjoy listening to music helps me keep the show lively.
The show has really changed my life in so many positive ways., and I am very grateful to all my fans all over the world. Without them there will be no WHATS UP NAIJA, and Tony Air wouldn’t be known all over.
Most of all I am grateful to God and my family The best is yet to come and I believe i will be able to create more wealth in the near future, through my passion for music, Radio presenting and as an MC/Compere
. My advice for fellow Africans living in Germany is to get themselves properly integrated in to the German society because that’s the best way they can better their lives.
They should also try to learn the language and seek information for skills that can uplift their standard of living.
i was honoured at the Nigeria Europe Award (NEU) in Spain as the Best Radio Presenter of the year 2013. Best Radio presenter of the year award at TopAfric in 2013, Merit Award in 2011 for a job well done on Radio as presented by Ambassador Okoye of Nigeria embassy.

Born in the city of Benin, western Nigeria as the 3rd of many siblings, Lulu realised his love for music early (Age 8), largely influenced by legendary artists such as the Jacksons, new edition, boyz II Men and Stevie wonder. He says his ability to sing came naturally and as such he recognises the fact that he has been given this gift as the key to fulfilling his PURPOSE.
However it was his transition to becoming a Christian in August of 1994 that marked the turning point in his musical history, from singing in choirs, to being one of the founding members of the Nigerian Gospel group Positive Change notable for their uncompromising lyrics and soothing sounds reminiscent of Gospel greats such as The Winans, Commissioned and Men of standard.
Lulu’s musical abilities transcends exercising his vocal cords as he is responsible for penning some of the most heartfelt , hard hitting songs ever written , clearly evident in his debut single titled ‘Hope Again’ which was released globally on itunes in December of 2012 . Indeed he fits the biblical metaphor that says “You make my tongue like the pen of a ready writer” (Psalms 45:1).
Songs I write are aimed at two things; to stimulate minds and change hearts.Essentailly; we must be instruments of positive change for as long as we are able to breathe. The music is just my own way of enforcing that change!
As a person I have been largely influenced by Jesus – the love and compassion he showed to the world at large remain a big part of who I am and what I do… not just in the dedication of my life to him…but learning that until we begin to show that love too, we haven’t really tapped into the meaning of true Christianity.

“It’s all about letting the world know and see what they are missing”
The concept behind COMETONIGERIA.COM came up in order to let the whole world rediscover the abundant wealth of opportunities Nigeria has to offer and to encourage tourism and its potential role as a major instrument for socio-economic development. We believe that by doing this, we will be able to open windows of opportunity not only for the locals, but also for the tourists for interaction and cultural exchange.
Nigeria as a country is the most populous country in Africa and the eighth most populous country in the world with a population of over 140 million. Tourism is relatively a budding enterprise in Nigeria but owing to Nigeria’s potentials, it has undergone a gradual but progressive evolution in the past three decades.
Nigeria is a country greatly endowed. It is blessed with warm, sundry climate, over 800 kilometers of fascinating beaches and evergreen vegetation in the South, while in the North, alluring landforms overshadows savannah grasslands. Added to these are the interesting natural features in form of water falls, springs, hills, some mountainous areas with temperate like climate and a range of special and common species of tropical wildlife.
These, coupled with wide market opportunities, diverse socio-cultural heritage that gives the nation its uniqueness and the hospitality of the about 120 million people earn Nigeria the sobriquet, GIANT OF AFRICA.It is almost impossible to deny Nigeria its prime of place amongst the richly endowed potential tourist destinations in the world.
For these and other common reasons, we decided to create an avenue through which tourism in Nigeria would be properly and extensively rebranded, thereby open up the gate for tourists to come in.
COMETONIGERIA.COM is not an affliate of any government ministry or private body but we wish to work with everybody to promote Nigeria’s natural, artificial and cultural attractions readily available all over the country.
Our roles at COMETONIGERIA.COM are:
Nonetheless feel free to contribute to the development of the site and send us your comments and suggestions including personal reviews and pictures of your trips to Nigeria.
Thanks.
