Africa’s Best Talents to Take Over Europe as Talent Hunt Global Launches Six-Month Tour

 

It was a day of excitement and inspiration last Tuesday at CMD Road, Magodo, Lagos, as Talent Hunt Global (THG) officially unveiled its 2025/2026 Six-Month Intensive Academic Theatre and Travel Tour Project through a well-attended awareness press conference.

 

The event drew intending students from Edo and Lagos States, alongside creative industry stakeholders and performing arts enthusiasts.

 

Among the notable attendees was Mr. Inam Akrasi, THG’s representative for Arts and Culture, who flew in from Paris, France. In his address, Akrasi emphasized the significance of the initiative, reaffirming THG’s commitment to empowering creative talents across Africa and Europe.

 

“Talent already exists within us, it only needs to be discovered and developed. That’s what Talent Hunt Global stands for,” he said.

 

“Our organization has established partnerships in France, particularly with La Ligue de l’Enseignement, a major national structure that supports educational and cultural development. With the strong efforts of Mr. Adetona Davies, our Founder, we have built a solid relationship with them. The October event marks the first phase of a broader program extending into February 2026. We’re fully ready to showcase African talent to the world.”

 

The press conference was anchored by Paul Mashote, Esq., National President of Talent Hunt Africa and National Legal Adviser of Talent Hunt Global.

 

Mashote described the initiative as “a continental and intercontinental creative odyssey designed to nurture raw African talent and expose it to global excellence.”

 

He explained that the programme, which will run across Nigeria, Ghana, Qatar, France, and Spain, will blend academic theatre training, cultural exchange, and international performance to produce globally competitive and purpose-driven artists.

 

“This is not just a program,” he stressed. “It’s a vision to raise a generation of creative minds capable of competing and collaborating on the global stage.”

 

Other key members of the organizing team present included Nollywood actor Mr. Segun Emmanuel, National Supervisor, and Ms. Ola Samuel, National Secretary of Talent Hunt Global Nigeria. Both speakers praised the project’s transformative potential for Nigerian youths.

 

Mashote also shared the inspiring story of Mr. Adetona Davies, the Founder of Talent Hunt Global. A graduate of Accounting, Adetona chose the path of creativity and purpose. Since 1994, he has traveled across 22 countries using music and theatre to spread messages of creativity and faith.

 

After years of service as a missionary with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in South Africa, he established Talent Academy, which later evolved into Talent Hunt Global. The organization now operates across Europe and Africa with successful collaborations, including projects with Arts and Culture France.

 

The upcoming editions of the programme, scheduled for October 2025 and February 2026, will offer participants: Intensive academic and practical theatre training, cultural exchange experiences, international travel and performance opportunities, and direct mentorship from industry leaders

 

Participating countries include France, Nigeria, Ghana, Spain, Holland, Sweden, Serbia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and the UK.

 

Mashote humorously concluded, saying:

 

“Our Founder may not have practiced Accounting, but he’s been auditing talents, balancing destinies, and crediting the world with purpose-driven creatives. That’s a legacy no calculator can compute.”

 

The event ended with photo sessions, networking, and enthusiasm from young creatives eager to join the global tour.

 

With this official unveiling, Talent Hunt Global continues to position Nigeria and Africa as emerging hubs for world-class creative talent, proving that when talent meets purpose, the world becomes its stage.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE 

 

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

 

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.

 

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
