Ten year-old Nigerian
girl makes FORBES Magazine history…
Ten year-old Nigerian
girl Zuriel Oduwole has made history as the youngest person ever to be
interviewed in Forbes, the global iconic magazine title.
The
interview with the award winning documentary film maker, conference speaker and
writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of Forbes Africa.
Touted
by some as the next Larry King, and ARISE News at the next Oprah Winfrey,
Oduwole is reportedly committed to Rebrand Africa by showing the positive things
in about the continent, and making the
case for education the Girl Child in Africa and Emerging Markets.
As
an invited guest to the recent African Union 50th anniversary celebrations in
Ethiopia, she has in her quest of pursuing her goal interviewed leading African
business, political, and sports personalities, including eight current African Presidents, Africa’s richest
person, Aliko Dangote and Tennis super stars – Venus and
Serena Williams.
Zuriel
(which is Hebrew for God is my Rock) believes if she can walk a mile, then
there are girls who on seeing her work and progress made, would walk a mile and
half.
That,
she believes is one simple way to inspire the African Girl Child, and show the
world the need to educate the continents
often forgotten Girl Child, of which Zuriel is one.
