Barcity: That's wonderful! We learnt that CEO of Miss Ambassador for Peace is contesting, do you feel he is a better candidate than you?
Barry J: We need clean personalities to run for d presidency and not just one guy around because you have organised some editions of a local event. Leadership is not by force. I know most of d people interested in the presidency are guys who think they can use d association to do their nonsense business of disrespect and all that. So they should not be given at all. The number of events u have hosted has nothing to do with d leadership of such a body. What we need is distinguished personality who can drive the original idea of d reasons why we created d body in d first place, Wow am just heard now from you that his contesting. I have no beef with anyone who wants to contest for the body's presidency. But my issues here is d right person. Am not expected to compare my self with any other individual who's also interested in the same position, So his doing his thing. I don't have an idea of his president love all of a sudden because he hasn't told me about it. He's a friend and I take him as a brother from the same state. So if he's contesting there's nothing wrong in coming to let me know about because I also went to inform him when I decided to contest two years ago. And I seemed his support to win which he said he withdrawn at the last minutes of d election for his own personal reasons. So the members re expected to make comparison and not me as a person. Although most of the time people vote the wrong people into office because of a bottle alcohol. But for me am a very responsive and pragmatic person who feels we still have a chance to correct whatever we have made stagnant over the two years we have watched ejiro presidency run with some successes in some areas of interest. Because u see every president has his or her priority and what he wants to do as a president. So whatever ejiro president had provided over the two years he ruled is what he as a person feels like doing for the association and I can say he has tried so far for himself and the body because it's nit an easy thing to be the first president of association of pageant organisers who moat of the people there came into d industry because they saw it as an avenue to make fast money, Pageantry in Nigeria is dying as far as am concerned and it's because of d lasciducical attitude of d CEOs who think it's by calling a slim looking fine girl to make a queen. It's more than that as far as am concerned. The way pageant has gone now won't even encourage any mother or father to allow their wards to go into.
Barry J : It's a very sad thing to hear and see that dis industry we built over some 16 years ago. Some guys from no where just came in and spoiled it all for us. Anyway its ok sha. It's always like this in all sectors in a bastardized country where everyone does whatever they want without any control and respect for constituted authority.
Barry J : All I know and still preaching is that beauty pageant is not unclothedness, it's not prostitution, it's not cheap sex, and it's not pimping above all. This re my principles to forge ahead for a responsive industry for all of us. In pageantry business we ve a way of making money and it can not be told to just anybody we is organising one nonsense they call pageant. When u come from nowhere without wanting to serve u can never know the secrets of that business. So it is in pageant too. We ve come along way and nobody can ever stop us from doing it right. So do u see where it's positive to get the right persons to be d president? Am asking you now as a Reporter.

Today on Moment of Truth with Barcity, we featured Abuja distinguished Pageant Producer who is also a clergy man.

Barry Avotu Johnson who is well known as Barry J shared his thoughts on Abuja Pageant Industry and the Association in general.



READ THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW:

Good evening, Mr Barry J.
Barcity: Its great to have you on Moment of Truth with Barcity, how has the year been so far for you and your pageant?
Barry J: The year 2017 is a great year ahead of us and we are expecting to ve a serious turnaround for us. We re ready to bring the change that the industry deserves at the moment. So we re looking forward to putting the industry in its rightful pedestrian for the next generation to follow. And for the finest girl pageants event, this 2017 the general public will see so much change in leadership and restrictions in structure of Operations.
Barry J: Basically we re injecting some new values into the event activities and it's going to honestly add good values to pageantry in Nigeria. We re always known for values and standards so it will be displayed for other up coming pageants to see and follow. Just like when we started in 2008 we came on board with our crowning of multiple queens from one single stage which is been bastardized by other pageants today. And that we did to ve a spread of the event activities to other parts of Nigeria with a reflection on other areas, regions and sector. Am talking about our finest girl tourism queen, niger delta queen, democracy queen and our major finest girl international queen respectively.
Barcity: 2016 was a great year for your pageant, new queens were produced but up till now, we've not seen any of their projects? What's going on
Barry J: The wrong activities of pageant queens in Nigeria has made our event re brand a new way to do things. Our queens ve been doing a lot in the areas of IDP support over the months. We ve decided not to publicly display all that because it's not what we re cut out for at this time. And most of all every time we do put our queens projects on the media other up coming pageant organisers want to
Barry J: Do the same project and since we found out this has happened in a lot of times. We decided to do projects and don't publish them untill the queen has handed over

Barry J: But we ve a huge number of our queens doing a lot in Nigeria. Our finest girl international winner queen joy Ogechi nwakwakwu is in lagos and doing so much for motherless children around d south west part of Nigeria. ,we also ve our finest girl tourism winners queen Juliet Okere who hosted d biggest IDP and charity children party on 1st October. And three other queens rep south south zone. Queen Sofia Saturday also hosted children and IDP too. And it has been a great year for all our queens so far. They ve tried and we know they will do more before they all hand over.
Barcity: Last election for Pageant Association Presidency was tough as you contest alongside Ejiro and others; Tell us more about it and your plans for the next election
Barry J: The last elections have come and gone so talking, about it won't add anything to our event or my person. I only contested bcs I thought we should move d industry forward with d best hands. D pageant industry needs a very responsive individual to run its affairs bcs d body must be respected in the other side of life. With d level of insult d industry has suffered over the years it needed a more responsible elements to drive it's ideas to d fullest. An, individual with so more respect for d industry. And not just one show boy. A schooled person with dignity and interpretation of self respect. A man with an A class attitude. D industry needs a pragmatic war lord so it's activities can be respected as I said in d beginning. We ve to do it well dis time or lose it all forever. Moreover we don't ve any official info for now if any elections is going to be conducted bcs we ve not seen any circular on this. So with this we re not going to say much about an election we ve not officially heard anything about. Truth is, that we ve to get in an positive elements of rehabilitation and reconciliation so the basic low levelled recourse of the association can be refined. D association has so much bad blood by its members. Bcs since d last elections the association suffered a serious fall out of credible. Members who fell out bcs they were not given the respect they needed as masters of the game over the years. So my cut on this is that d body needs a serious overhaul of its activities nationwide so we can all enjoy d fruit of our labour.
Barry J: And moreover d local media is not helping matters. All this mushrooms social media beginners will just take one thousand naira from one disgruntled elements of dis unity and and put up a story against some else. How can you do that. You will see all sort of nonsense on this and that social media. So this things need to stop so we can all work things out. The whole issue all started with very bad eggs getting involved in the business in abuja, Imo, Enugu, anambra and Bayelsa states respectively. They re the ones causing the disrespect of the industry over the two years so far.

wonderful

nice one...

The visit to Ogbodo came barely five months after Queen Juliet’s corona­tion as Miss Health South-South, Since her corona­tion, she and her team, have visited various parts of the South-South region, to sensitize the people on how to live a healthy life, as well as treat those faced with various health challenges.

It was in the course of her tour of towns and commu­nities in the South-South region that she first came to Ogbodo where she found out that so many people in that community, particu­larly the aged ones, were af­flicted with various types of eye diseases.

Entertainment outside Lagos is dying because big brands hardly support events outside Lagos…
The President of South South Progressive Awards (SSPA) and Peace Achievers Awards, Amb Kingsley Amafibe took to his social media page to express his feelings over big brand's sponsorship of event in Abuja.
He wrote this on his Facebook page ” Entertainment outside Lagos is dying because big brands hardly sponsor events outside Lagos..
This is the question, I keep asking myself, why is it that big brand don’t think of supporting events outside Lagos. Yet sometimes, we promote their products without even getting any support from them.
I guess, directors of this big brands in Nigeria, should look beyond Lagos. There’s so much opportunities to sell your products. Please support initiative that promote Youth Empowerment. Amb. Kingsley Amafibe.
He rounded up by saying Abuja and other cities TV Stations need to start promoting local content too instead of showing Lagos event content every time…
This complain is actually what all Event Organizers outside Lagos have been complaining for and we advice Big brands owners to look for a way in solving the problem and do their corporate social responsibility…
Amb Kingsley Amafibe is also the president of one of Nigeria’s biggest pageant “Miss Ambassador For Peace”
