As the year draws to an end, we are all drawn to evaluating our current situation, to assessing the progress made over the course of the year and to planning for the advancement we desire in the coming years. In charting the future, the greatest need is to bridge the gap between desire and actualisation, between setting and achieving goals and between the talk and the walk.

WISCAR (Women in Successful Careers) has become known for its bold initiatives aimed at helping to bridge that gap through its mentoring programme and an annual high-powered event for women who have chosen to pursue a career and be successful. WISCAR is a non-profit organization focused on empowering and developing professional women to contribute to development and nation building in Africa. The organization will be hosting its Annual Leadership and Mentoring Conference themed; ‘Enriching Lives By Telling Our Own Stories’ that aims to highlight the importance of role modelling and mentorship by successful women leaders as a gift to the next generation in national development.

The Conference will hold at the Muson Center, Onikan on Saturday, November 24th, 2018 at 9am. The Keynote speaker for the event is a Global Icon, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Mo Ibrahim prize winner; Former President of Liberia and first female President in Africa, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. Other speakers include Ambassador Nozipho January Bardill – International Diplomat,  Corporate Relations specialist and Chair, Nelson Mandela University Council Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman – Public Administrator and MD NPA, Mrs. Polly Alakija – Artist, Author and Chair Lagos State Council of Arts and Culture, Mrs Kofo Akinkugbe – Real Sector Entrepreneur and CEO Secure ID Group, Mrs Aisha Ahmad, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Mr. Tunji Lardner, Leader of thought and raconteur, Mrs Amina Oyagbola, versatile Corporate Executive and WISCAR Founder and many others will also be present to give the audience front-row insights based on their experience and facts on workplaces and institutions. The event will be compered by a notable organisational effectiveness consultant, Mrs. Habiba Balogun. Innovative Nigerian playwright and artiste, Mrs. Ifeoma Fafunwa will also present thought-provoking sketches during the course of the programme.

The WISCAR conference affords women of all works of life and age the opportunity to learn, grow, network, contribute and add value to themselves, their families, fellow women, and the society at large.

The 2018 WISCAR Annual Leadership and Mentoring Conference promises to enrich lives by telling powerful stories. In the rich African tradition of story telling as a vital means of instruction; many impactful tales of discovery and success will be told. Be there, hear them, tell them!!!

Uzoamaka Onuoha Best Female Performance at afriff 2024 | fab.ng

Nollywood actress Uzoamaka Onuoha won the Best Female Performance in a Feature award at the recently concluded African Film Festival on November 9, 2024.

This victory adds another accolade to her growing list of achievements, solidifying her status as one of Nollywood’s rising stars.

With over three nominations under her belt this year, Uzoamaka Onuoha truly stood out for her remarkable portrayal in “Agemo”.

Directed by Moshood Abiola Obatula, the film takes viewers on a thrilling journey. It follows the character Agatha navigating a dangerous and enigmatic world.

By highlighting the challenges faced by women, Agemo delves deep into the complexities of power dynamics, manipulation, and the severe consequences of exploiting the vulnerable.

Playing the lead role, Onuoha delivers a powerful performance that captures the character’s resilience and depth. This recognition comes as no surprise given her impressive track record.

This includes standout roles in Inside Life (2022), If I Am President (2018), and Blood Sisters (2022). With each project, she continues to showcase her versatility and dedication to her craft.

Although Agemo initially released its first-look images in December 2023, the full film is set to premiere to the public later this year.

Written by Esther Olayinka, the supernatural feature boasts a stellar ensemble cast. The cast includes Raphael Ayara, Joe Kosoko, Yinka Quadri, Mojisola Afolayan, Kola Olaiya, Lawal Aramide Pabira, and Darasimi Madi.

Together, they bring to life a story that explores complex themes and leaves a lasting impact on viewers.
