Hey folks...how y'all doing?
Well, not in the finest of mood's today...have tried to but can't seem to put a face on the reason, Hope i don't have it reflected here. Well, just some news off the wire...Everyone seem to be talking about rebranding..even our entertainment peeps are rebranding in various ways...From Dbanj's KOKO Mansion to Silverbird's Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria which have all been categorized as rebranding tools, it seems thats not the closest we've come to seeing the 'types of rebranding'...
Omotola re-brands, focuses on humanitarian work
Omotola who was recently honoured with African Female Entrepreneur award in United States, we discovered, is already mapping out strategies to reach out to more children.
The actress, who in time past, has been involved in charity works that have to do with youths and children will be embarking on another tour soon to help save the less-catered for children of Africa.
It would be recalled that her tour of Uganda some years ago brought tears of joy to many in that part of the country. And she was recently in Ondo State, her state of origin where she delivered motivational message to excited and star-stricken secondary school students.
Speaking on the latest development, Omosexy said humanitarian work has always been part of her life. “This is not new. It is just that I giving it more time. I’ve always loved children and youths because they are the future we talk about. If we genuinely care about the future, we will love the children and youths. If we want better nation, we should raise better children and youths. This is my own way of contributing to the future.”
On the African Female Entrepreneur Award she got recently from America, the mother of four says it only places more responsibility on her.
“I’ve always been an entrepreneur with my craft. Not many people consider actresses as entrepreneurs; some of us are actually different. We’ve added entrepreneurial drive to our talent. I sit upon a company (Redhot Concept) and have members of staff that I have to pay at the end of every month. The award is recognition of another side of me.” In a way that confirms the universal appeal of the Omotola brand, two ambassadors were present at the presentation of the award to her and they later organized a dinner in her honour.
The Liberian ambassador, Dr Dawn Cooper Barnes and his wife, wife of Sierra Leonean ambassador to United States of America, Mrs. Musu Stevens who represented her husband were present at the presentation. The choice of Omotola, according to Ms Joi Onyeukwu, is determined by her inspirational appeal to other young African woman.
Chairman, Re-branding Nigerian Campaign Committee and veteran actor, Chief Pete Edochie, has decried the flamboyant lifestyle of Nigerian politicians, insisting that re-branding of Nigeria must start with them.
This, he said, was because the politicians’ flamboyant lifestyle was giving the country a bad image.
Edochie, who was released from a one-day captivity few days ago by kidnappers was at the Government House, Awka to thank Governor Peter Obi for facilitating his quick release.
Edochie said his captors told him while he was being held hostage that they were ‘totally disenchanted’ with the government and politicians for caring less for the multitude of unemployed youths.
Edochie, who also told his story with the kidnappers, said his captors said they saw kidnapping as their own way of cutting from the national cake.
On the way out of the present kidnapping problem in the country, he advised politicians to moderate their flamboyant lifestyle and concentrate on developing their constituencies, just as he advocated free and fair elections as the best way to re-brand Nigeria. Responding, Governor Obi urged Nigeria to embrace free and fare election as the most credible re-branding that the country needs now.
Senator Edward Kennedy Is DEAD!
U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, a towering figure in the Democratic Party who took the helm of one of America's most fabled political families after two older brothers were assassinated, is dead at age 77.
One of the most influential and longest-serving senators in U.S. history -- a liberal standard-bearer who was also known as a consummate congressional dealmaker -- Kennedy had been battling brain cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2008.
His death marked the twilight of a political dynasty and dealt a blow to Democrats as they seek to answer President Barack Obama's call for an overhaul of the healthcare system.
Known as "Teddy," he was the brother of President John Kennedy, assassinated in 1963, Senator Robert Kennedy, fatally shot while campaigning for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination, and Joe Kennedy, a pilot killed in World War Two.
n January 2008, Kennedy endorsed Obama, who was serving his first term as a senator, for the Democratic presidential nomination. Many saw the endorsement -- Obama went on to win the nomination and the White House -- as the passing of the political torch to a new generation.
MAY HIS GENTLE REST IN PEACE!
