The first event, sponsored by Bollinger took place at the prestigious Wheatbaker Hotel,
Ikoyi. The event hosted the likes of Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, the former Minister of Education
who gave an amazing speech on how women can make a change in our world by not
settling for what people think we should be and Chief Mrs Oyenike Okundaye, one of the
most respected internationally known female artist from Nigeria, who has made
astounding strides in textile, visual arts and mixed media painting.
At
The Metropolitan Club, Victoria Island sponsored by Ours magazine was the
screening of
the award-winning documentary film “The Supreme Price” directed by Joanna Lipper.
The film explores the history of Nigeria as it tells the remarkable story of Hafsat Abiola,
daughter of human rights heroine Kudirat Abiola, and Nigeria's President-elect M.K.O.
Abiola, who won a historic vote in 1993 that promised to put an end to years of military
dictatorship. The thought provoking film opened the minds of guests and triggered forward
thinking conversations on how women can help make Nigeria better and the future of
female leaders in a country where men have always ruled.
