| Literature › Bode Asiyanbi Wins BBC Play-Writing Award by LazyGold(op): 3:13am On May 02, 2019 |
Since Africa’s first Nobel Prize for Literature winner, Professor Wole Soyinka, blazed the trail in 1986 by taking home that prestigious prize, the seed sown has spawned several other acorns scattered all over the land. Nigerian writers in different genres of literature have been persistently pushing the limits of creative writing. Ben Okri, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nnedi Okorafor and several other young writers from Nigeria have shown through their works that another Nobel Prize may just be around the bend. Asiyanbi is the writer and the brain behind the story of ‘Chief Daddy’ that was filmed by Niyi Akinmolayan and produced by EbonyLife Film. He won his third award in play-writing from BBC International Play-writing Competition shortly after the cinema release of ‘Chief Daddy.’ The trained Biochemist and graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, ended 2018 on a high by winning the Georgi Markov prize for the most promising script, in the BBC International Play-writing Competition. EbonyLive TV’s premiere of ‘Chief Daddy’ drew over 40 movie stars. The BBC play-writing prize is in honour of the BBC World Service journalist and writer, Georgi Markov, who championed freedom of creative expression. According to the BBC, Bode’s interest in writing grew after he was selected as one of the winners in the now defunct BBC African Performance radio drama series. In 2005, he won the BBC Africa Performance Play-writing competition with the play ‘Big Dialed, and his radio play, ‘Shattered’ won the 2011 BBC African performance play-writing competition. Born in Osogbo, Osun State, Bode Asiyanbi studied at the Obafemi Awololwo University and Lancaster University, United Kingdom. He was for many years writer and editor for BBC Media Action on its groundbreaking radio and television drama series, Story Story and Wetin Dey, as well as for the ‘Save the Children’ developmental documentary. He presently works with various M-Net African Magic’s comedy and drama series as a writer and story editor. His plays have also been broadcast on the BBC World Service. Asiyanbi’s short stories have appeared in Munyori Literary Journal, Kalahari Review, Wobbled Words Anthology, and Per Contra. His stage play ‘Shattered’ was performed at the 2013 British Council Lagos Theatre Festival, and his short story, ‘The Diagnosis’ was a winning entry for the British Council Lagos Theatre Festival 2014. His poems also featured in the anthology of contemporary African poetry, ‘A Thousand Voices Rising’. Asiyanbi’s plays ‘The Wait’ and ‘One Chance!’ won the British Council LTF 2016 and 2017 Playwriting Prize, and his poems also featured in the anthology of contemporary African poetry, A Thousand Voices Rising. Bode describes himself as “a wandering troubadour from a long line of village weavers and palace bards; spinning coloured yarns, seeking out lost songs and singing them out from rooftops.” He is interested in exploring trauma, identity and the place of memory in history. www.tribuneonlineng.com/193753/amp/

| Education › Folashade Salako Wins Pharmacist Award For Best Pharmacy Brain by LazyGold(op): 2:31am On May 02, 2019 |
Ms. Folashade Salako, a final year student of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has won the 2019 Shalina Young Talent Award (SYTA) where she was crowned as Nigeria’s “best Pharmacy brain” at a ceremony held at the Ibis Hotel, Lagos on April 8th. Ms. Salako beat 360 contestants from some of Nigeria’s top Universities to scoop first place in this coveted competition which has been described as the biggest hunt for the best pharmacy brain in Nigeria. The SYTA, in its first year in Nigeria, sets stringent criteria to challenge the brightest pharmaceutical talent in the country. “It is a talent hunt. The idea is to challenge our students to become sound and to realize that there is reward for the hard work they put into their studies” said Dr Kingsley Amibor, national chairman, Association of Hospital and Administrative Pharmacists of Nigeria. “This speaks to the idea of our constant innovation and drive to inspire young talent in Africa, in one of the world’s most dynamic industries,” added Mrs Shalina Clifford, CEO, Shalina Healthcare. In his address delivered by Pharm. Okame Okah-Arae, the PSN boss said Kudos must also go to Shalina Healthcare for putting up this innovative programme. “Competition like this, will always stimulate interest,” said National chairman of the Association of Community Practice of Nigeria, Pharmacist Samuel Adekola. “Through this initiative, these young pharmacists would have a level of motivation and confidence that would impact a sense of excellence in them. Invariably, this would contribute significantly to the quality of graduating pharmacy students,” he said. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/nigerian-wins-young-pharmacist-award-for-best-pharmacy-brain/ 13 Likes 3 Shares

| Business › Folashade Tinubu-Ojo: I Can Choose Anybody To Head Computer Village Market by LazyGold(op): 12:17am On May 02, 2019 |
The leader of traders in Lagos and the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, has said that some traders in the Computer village market who protested against the appointment of Iyaloja and Babaloja in the market on Tuesday were ill-informed. Addressing a press briefing on Wednesday, Tinubu-Ojo, said all the markets in the state were under her control and the computer village market cannot be an exception. According to our constitution, I can choose anybody from any local government in the state to head the market, all the iyaloja and babaloja in all the Lagos markets are my representatives in the market where they operate. Kindly educate them that phones, handsets, computers are commodities. “They cannot tell us they are not pepper sellers, everybody cannot be textile dealers; they can’t tell us that computer village will be exonerated from other markets. We have the right to choose for them Iyaloja and Babaloja." “Those people protesting never approached me to complain. They don’t have the initiative that the person leading the protest has finished his tenure and wants to remain in power." “Computer village is not just an ICT hub, there are a lot of commodities being sold there; nobody can say it is wrong to select a babaloja and iyaloja for the market. Those that have been selected were not selected because they are Yoruba, in some of our markets in Lagos we have Igbos that were selected as market leaders,” Tinubu-Ojo said. She said the appointment of Mrs Abisola Azeez and Mr Adeniyi Babalola, as Iyaloja and Babaloja of Computer Village respectively was done to maintain peace in the market among the traders. https://punchng.com/i-can-choose-anybody-to-head-computer-village-market-tinubu-ojo/amp/ 18 Likes 9 Shares

| Nairaland General › Wecyclers Wins €200,000 Prize In Waste Management by LazyGold(op): 10:52pm On May 01, 2019 |
Wecyclers, a Lagos-Based waste recycling company founded by Mrs Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola in 2012, has won the 2019 King Baudouin African Development Prize worth €200,000 (N104 million) for its development work in Africa. Herve Lisoir, Coordinator Africa and Developing countries, King Baudouin Foundation, told newsmen on Wednesday that Wecyclers won the prize for its contribution to solving waste management problems not only in Nigeria but Africa. “We selected Wecyclers because we know that waste management is an issue for Lagos, Africa and Europe. We celebrate your innovation, perseverance and keeping it real,” Lisoir said. He noted that the prize aimed to acknowledge the work of African persons or organisations which have made an exemplary contribution to development in Africa. According to him, the prize recognises initiatives that improve quality of life and empower local people to take their future into their own hands. Mrs Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, Founder, Wecyclers, said that the organisation has not only shown the people of Lagos the value of recycling, but helped to improve lives and the environment. She said that as a start-up, her passion was about helping to solve the waste challenges facing Africa, and thanked King Baudouin Foundation for its support and the award. Wale Adebiyi, Chief Executive Officer, Wecyclers, said that it had collected about 5000 tonnes of recyclable waste since 2012, given over $100, 000 as incentives, and have over 17,000 subscribers. He said that the company averaged four tonnes of plastics daily, which did not contribute to ocean pollution and ruin the ecosystem. Adebiyi acknowledged that there were challenges of human capital issues, funding and bureaucracy confronting the recycling industry. He said that there were plans to expand WeCyclers beyond the seven local government areas it presently covers in Lagos, and even go beyond Nigeria. The award was part of the “Silicon Lagoon Mission” that has a team of Belgian start-ups, scale-ups, corporations and NGOs visit different Nigerian companies domiciled in Lagos. The Belgian delegates were led by Minister Philippe De Backer, Belgium Minister of Digital Agenda, Telecommunications and Post Office on a visit which holds between March 20 to 24. Some of the places to be visited are Tony Elumelu Foundation, CCHub, Facebook Artificial intelligence Hub, LifeBank, Jumia, Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF), MEST Incubator and IFC (World Bank). https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/03/nigerias-wecyclers-wins-e220000-prize-in-waste-management/?amp 12 Likes 4 Shares
