I am still unable to describe the joy I felt when PLAC, a Non-Governmental Organisation, asked me to travel to the ancient city of Benin City to interview Nigeria’s 1st elected female Senator, Senator Franca Afegbua. Though she passed on 12th March 2023, her legacy lives on. The full interview can be read here: https://placbeam.com/2022/04/28/women-in-politics-more-reliable-than-men-says-nigerias-first-elected-female-senator-chief-franca-afegbua/ Indeed, we need more women in governance and this may only be achieved through a legislation.
Abuja’s First Praise Rave
He called, I answered… Abuja’s No.1 Gospel DJ, DJ Ernesty, said to me, “Edima, I’m organising the first ever ‘Praise Rave’ and I’d like you to host the interview segment”. I could never say no to a man who has distinguished himself in the Christiandom and paved way for gospel DJing in Nigeria; a career spanning over 10 years. I certainly had to do this and it was totally awesome!
