Eleven year old Nigerian pupil, Onyemaechi Christian Yobo was today recognised by Cartoon Network and it's partners, DSTV as the winner of Imagination Studios Art Competition 2016. An award ceremony was held in his honour at the premises of the school he attends.

The primary six pupil of Rosyland Nursery and Primary school emerged the best cartoonist (story category) in the 2016 edition of the annual art event. The competition is organised by Cartoon Network across all the countries in Africa where DSTV and Cartoon Network operates.

Officials of Africa's biggest broadcast media organisation, DSTV and Cartoon Network were on ground to present a galaxy tablet, an art contract, art books and materials to the winner while the sum of one hundred thousand naira was given to his school for producing the winner. Cartoon network would also open an art studio in the school as part of its effort to promote art and creativity in the continent.

Great potentials. Sad there weren't awards like this during our time when I usually filled a whole 20 leaves exercise book with cartoon. Well I got rewarded by drawing/designing for people in my neighborhood lol.

Wow. Very nice.

Congrats Onyema! The world is your stage.

BTW, is he related to Joseph Yobo?

Wow. This is amazing! The boy don blow be that. Oluwa abeg pick my sons call so early in life, amen! I love art and creativity so much though many Africans dont appreciate the beauty of art.

LastMumu:
Awards like this about cartoons and animations are meant only for the ajepakos. A hungry ajepaki kid has no time for cartoon mehhn, the only cartoon he/she probably enjoys seeing is Tom and Jerry.

looooool. Ben 10 and co na 4 tommyhilfoger boys. In my house then you can watch any cartoon except tom and jerry. My mum believes it would make her children mischievous. It remains my best though

i saw something like 100k for the school, an art contract and the esrablishment of an art studion in his school. I think thats massive.

I refuse to believe those drawings are the best from 11year olds across Africa. Maybe many people didnt contest.

Congrats to the boy sha.

Congratulations

.wonderful!

My own kids will start learning many things from their childhood,from keyboard to guitar to violin to drums... If this ones no werk, we jump over to boxing to football to basketball.. If these one no work too we move to graphics design (22 century style), cyber crime prevention, Web designs, cartooning and animation...... One must work in all this.

I must start eating my child's food in my early life .

good one son

GOD bless you

Bright kid.. Kudos
