After the earlier postponements of Belle of African Nations (BOAN) due to the 2015 General Elections,Platinum Entertainment Nigeria says preparations are heating up towards the hosting of the Pan-African pageant.

Tagged “Heroine In the Midst of Heroes”,the maiden edition of BOAN would be  celebrating the uniqueness and heroism of Madame Efunroye Tinubu, a woman who soared and dominated territories that were the reserves of men.

And in recognition of her bravery,the play “Madame Tinubu” by Prof. Akinwunmi Isola would  be staged, as the facilitators  of BOAN unveil the different sides of a woman likened to the Gelede masquerade.

“Aside from celebrating Madame Tinubu,we would also be honouring  African heroines who were or are makers and shakers of their worlds -presenting them with the “Heroine in the midst of Heroes” awards”,
Ms Olayinka Edu,MD/CEO, Platinum Entertainment, Nigeria explained.

And stressing the importance of generational legacies,the organisers of BOAN are also celebrating  a scion of the Tinubu dynasty, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in recognition of his bravery, doggedness and passionate leadership.

Asiwaju,in whom,the heroine,Madam Efunroye Tinubu is exemplified, would  be presented with the Exceptional Distinction Award – E pluribus Unum (one amongst many).

We also  learnt that the glamorous Gold and Diamond � Madame Tinubu symbol Crown �was designed and made by the Nigerian-UK based world renowned jeweler – Alexander Amosu, besides the glamour of the epoch-making event, the exhibitions, the play, the artistic cultural and historical displays and the home-coming visits.

Relatedly,the cross-cultural and historical event will feature rich and robust inter-cultural exchange,beauty, bravery and intelligence
as exceptionally innovative queens from across the continent of Africa hit the shores of Lagos,Nigeria for the pageant.

“More so, BOAN is poised to rewrite history – taking us back to where the future was. From Lagos, Nigeria, we are projecting something uniquely different from the continent of Africa to the entire world in the history of pageantry. This edition of BOAN retells the story of a legendary female figure  in Nigerian past who stood her ground and made her voice heard at a time when patriarchy reigned supreme.

A woman who changed the course of history,Madame Tinubu  stood her ground and made her voice heard at a time when patriarchy supressed the voices of women in Europe and other spaces of the world.

The essence of retelling her story,according to Platinum Entertainment,Nigeria boss, is to challenge, inspire, motivate  and impact the younger generation of people to stand out and affect their worlds.

“Simply put, we are redefining the conventional outlook of pageantry.
BOAN will blow minds away, capture hearts and refresh souls. You wouldn’t want to be told,”she added.

The contestants, drawn from 18 to 26yrs,will be shortlisted based on qualities of bold intellectual capacity, beauty and the values of tradition that uphold our dignity as Africans.

“Join the moving train of BOAN, as we re-create and reconceptualise PAGEANTRY.
We might not be sure of anything else but one: the beautiful memories BOAN 2015 intends to re-create and show case will remain with us long afterwards.”
