Remember Ara? The first internationally renowned Afrikan female talking-drummer and one of Africa's best.
The
super-skilled Ara will be unveiling her Reality TV Show named: EKO
INSPIRE ME ACADEMY on the 19th of October in Lagos.
According
to the initiator, Ara Olamuyiwa, the EKO INSPIRE ME ACADEMY aims to save
young Lagosians who have helplessly resigned themselves to the darkness of
street-life and she prefers to refer to street-dwelling youngsters as ‘good
boys and girls’.
She
said her heart-touching and deeply revealing interactions with them inspired
her against tagging the youngsters derogatorily.
In
her words, ‘The event is a multi-phased process that will feature talent-based
competitive selection of ‘good boys and girls’ from the 'flash points' of Lagos
State.
It
is designed to have as its climax, the award of scholarships and other
life-enhancing opportunities to winners.
“EKO
INSPIRE ME ACADEMY” is a Lagos-wide and continuous exercise that will
duly travel across Nigeria with emerging support from institutions and persons
of high privilege who seek to give back to society’.
