Olympic Milk, Nigeria’s number one multi-functional milk brand on Easter Sunday hosted Nigerian women and mothers across the country to a spicy TV Program to mark two events that showcased the qualities of the female gender (International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day respectively). The Mother’s Day TV Show was hosted on the Network Service of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA.
The
Talk-Show program with LIVE audience was produced for Olympic Milk by ‘‘Media
Industries Concept’’ and was a huge success as it was ‘issue based’,
intellectually balanced and beautifully presented with viewers yearning for
more.
Guests
on the programme took time to dissect, demystify and break down to points,
issues affecting women in their totality and tried as time allowed them to find
long lasting solutions to majority of the topics trashed on the program such
as, Breast Cancer in Women, Violence Against Women, Women Entrepreneurs and the
main topic which dwelt on, Mothers, Veritable Tools For National Development.
On
the programme were, Chief (Mrs.) YetundeArobieke, former Chairman,Agboyi-Ketu
Local Government Area, Mrs. AbiolaLaseinde, Legal Adviser to Cadbury Nig. Plc
and Chairman, Lagos State Chapter of Institute of Chartered Secretaries and
Administrators of Nigeria, Hon. OmotayoAramide-Oduntan, Deputy Chief Whip,
Lagos State House of Assembly, Mrs. Josephine Oluseyi-Williams, former Head of
Service, HOS, Lagos State, Mrs. YinkaOgunde, Chairperson, Women in Advertising and
MD/CEO, Edumark Consults, Mrs. NgoziSodeke, a breast cancer survivor and
advocate, Dr. Joy Agbara, Consultant Gynecologist, Mrs. ChiadiNdu, Counselling
Psychologist and Cognitive Behaviour Therapist, Mrs. TokunboTobunAgbesanwa,
former SSA on Environmental Advocacy to Gov. Fashola, Mrs. Nkechi Ali-Balogun,
Public Relations Consultant and Principal Partner, NECCI Consulting and Mrs.
AdebukolaBamgboye, Principal State Counsel, Office of the Public Defender,
Ministry of Justice, Lagos State. Each of these quintessential women took turn
to discuss the issues as the One-Hour was divided into four packed-up segments.
Speaking
on the first segment which centered on Mothers, Veritable Tools For National
Development, Mrs. Josephine Oluseyi-Williams who had at various times in Lagos
State been, Auditor-General, Accountant-General and later, Head of Service,
said that women should stand forth and take positions of authority by
themselves as no man would give them the space if they (the women) are not
willing and ready to take the responsibilities by themselves. She stated
further that she rose to the pinnacle of her career in the civil service in
Lagos State because, opportunities for her met her preparedness for them and
when they came, she was ready and had to grab them and exceled on them
individually.
Corroborating
Oluseyi-William’s statement,Arobieke on her part said at the time when there
was no woman as it were in her community willing to step out to occupy available
positions, she was ready, took the challenge and broke records as the first
female Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LGA with diverse developmental projects that
hasn’t been met by any after her. She said there is nothing militating against
the woman-folk than they, the women themselves and with proven reports, women
have done well, far better, in some of the very few positions they have
occupied in the country.
In
his remark after the successful show, the Managing Director of Media Industries
Concept, Mr. Precious Eze thanked Olympic Milk, which he says is Nigerian’s
number one milk brand, for standing in the gape for Nigerian women and for
supporting his company in making sure that his dream to showcase women/mothers
nationally came to fruition.
Eze
further stated that the success recorded with this year’s edition has spurred
him on to make this show a yearly programme.
The
One-Hour LIVE show aired across the country and beyond and was anchored by
award winning broadcaster, SijuAlabi.
Olympic
Milk brought to the studio, branded cake to mark a successful celebration for
women and was harmoniously dismantled by the women who went away with various
gift items such as rappers, milk products and water bottles for their children.
