Nigerian Entertainment: FACE OF D'NORTH By Edestar Concepts

A lot of the artists Edestar Concepts Int'l Limited in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development is introducing the first edition of 'FACE OF D'NORTH'.

The epidemic of bad press which has weighed down the nation of recent, especially the northern part, has had an adverse effect on the economic and social activities of the north. While a lot is being done to address the unfortunate incidents, little or nothing is done to repair the damaged image of the north. This image is so battered that people from other parts of the country and abroad harbor a distorted view of northern Nigeria.

Boko Haramism has been one of the major causes of the civil unrest in northern Nigeria today, engaged by our youths. Meanwhile, most of these Nigerian youths are gifted with entertainment in various ways with loads of talents. (It is said that the idle mind is the devil's workshop.) If these youths are gainfully empowered with their talents, there will no doubt, be stability in no small measure in the north.

According to Robert Iyinbor Roberts, Face of D'North; "It is in line to help salvage this image, the "FACE OF D'NORTH" was conceptualised, aimed at empowering our youths. This project is a reality show whereby talented northern youths are brought together and compete against each other with their various talents, promoting the socio-cultural heritage of northern Nigeria on skills acquisition. These will include Art & Craft of various products from the north, Fashion and Style with local fabrics from the north, cultural display and more.... The best of this contest is crowned the "Face Of D'North"."

Roberts says; " talent is one of the greatest tools in the Nigerian entertainment world today that cannot be over-emphasised. Historically, northern Nigerians have had a whole lot of talented individuals right from inception especially in the areas of art and crafts. Speaking further, he says; " one exciting thing about the Face of D'North is that, apart from promoting talents and giving room to showcase the amazing rich cultural heritage of the north, it will re-awaken the hidden talents of our northern youths and get them productive. This is one MAJOR area that the youths can be empowered and will also help to further promote UNITY and redirect the people's initiative and perception in northern Nigeria. A first of its kind, this is an exhibition that will portray a positive cause in the society today."
