This weekend of our nation's independence celebrations, young people
in Nigeria will be kept very busy, if not directly, then by
extension, as RedSTRAT presents two of its major events back to back
in its relentless bid to inspire a generation of young Nigerians
into taking charge of their destinies!
On Sunday, the 30th of September 2007, in conjunction with Channels
Television, it will be hosting the initially postponed Rubbin' Minds
talk shop, which will be broadcast live at 3pm on the Channels TV
Network.
The event – to be held at Planet One in Lagos – is for a select 200
young people between the ages of 16 and 30, who will gather to
discuss `President Yara'adua' and Co: First Impressions – an avenue
to effectively inject a strong and genuine youth component into
national discourse.
To attend that event, or to recommend someone to attend, send an
email to redstrat@thefuturen igeria.com.
The very next day, 1st of October, as has become the tradition,
RedSTRAT will be formally kicking off the 2008 edition of Nigeria's
biggest youth event. "The Future.." Awards, at an exclusive media
and VIP event at rave venue, SixDegreesNorth in Ikoyi.
A cocktail event that sees a gathering of some of the brightest and
best upwardly mobile young Nigerians it is an opportunity to bounce
the plans for the next Awards directly off a cross-section of its
target. At this pre-event cocktail, the promos and campaigns will be
unveiled, alongside the new categories, revised criteria, sneak
preview of the plans for the event and its build-up, media partners
and sponsors, and the guests are free to ask questions, record
observations and make suggestions.
About 25 seats are still available – if you think you or someone you
know qualifies to fill in the slots, send an email to
chude@thefuturenige ria.com, with name, age, and details of
occupation.
The organizer of these events, RedSTRAT, with its national spread
and mainstream relevance, has quickly established itself as the
first name on the lips when it comes to young people in Nigeria,
relentless in its bid to act as principal change agent for its
generation, presenting positive role model and creatively engaging
the hearts and minds - and it is resolutely committed to this
imperative. Further information on all the events can be gotten on
