The Accolade Challenge: Brands Are Taking Advantage Of It by Rubiesangel: 8:34am On Apr 29, 2018
Following the lazy Nigerian youths statement by president Buhari and subsequent backlash from Nigerians all over the world, demanding that the president gives some respect to hardworking Nigerian youth, a trend was birthed and it's the 'accolade' trend.

It now suddenly seems like a new word, whereas its been lying in the dictionaries for many years. It's been buzzing on social media lately and celebrities have capitalized on it to showcase their hard work and creativity to fans home and abroad.

Notable brands also have cashed in on this accolade challenge, expectedly using it to promote their brands and commitment to serve customers/clients. For the purpose of this thread, I shall examine top 5 brands using this accolade challenge.

1. MTN: The mobile telecommunications giant didn't sleep over this trend. They have been swift about using the accolade challenge in all sphare of their operation, not just to promote the brand, but also to show commitment to serve.

2. AFOREVO TV: Translating nollywood contents into several Nigerian languages, they have capitalized on the accolade challenge to drive awareness and engagements amongst Nigerians.

3. TECNO : One of the leading mobile phone giants in Nigeria, have also used the accolade challenge as a tool in showing constant and committed effort to satisfy millions of customers in Nigeria and across the world at large.

4. YUDALA: One of Nigeria's best online and offline retail chain. It's a house hold name in nigeria and they seem to have also taken advantage of this accolade challenge to attract lots of interests amongst Nigerian youths and even the elderly.

5. LET'S VIBE TV: Telling stories in amazing ways, with some funny contents really deserves some accolades. Last but not the least, they seem to have doused the tension that came with the lazy Nigerian youth comment with funny contents and amazing stories.

Having said this, it is important to note that Nigerian brands tend to capitalise on trends to promote their brands, and also to show commitment to ardent followers and prospective ones too.

Now, I'll be waiting for these brands to give me accolades too. Or don't I deserve accolades? I surely do. Cash accolades isn't a bad idea *winks*

MTN wit follow follow. In sane countries, a network like MTN is supposed to be paying their subscribers for sticking to them, despite the obvious shortcomings sad

Give accolades to the originator of this media buzz! Charles Okocha. This guy started it before Buhari called us lazy.

You need to mention Igwe 2Pac or Charles Okocha when you write such posts... Whilst "Accolades" have been in the lexicon, Charles Okocha made a skit outta it and Nigerians took the skit to call out the President for the unwholesome remark...

So these brands should give Charles Okocha some royalties for the usage

Then Charles Okocha should be smiling to the bank now but knowing how Nigeria works, he may not get anything at all.

Personally I think he should take this opportunity by force and use it to hammer.

The OP is wrong. Charles Okocha started this long before President Buhari made his remark. It was even trending then until Kcee linked it to President Buhari'statement.
