The president of 2-ET Media Networks shared an inspiring story of how he sold his car to start the first edition of his Reality Show (Unleash Ur Creativity) A Film Capacity Building Project Design to empower Youths.
Mr.
Emmanuel Eyaba shared this on his Facebook Page
He
said and quote:
“When
we started in 2015, It was through pain and sacrifice, the only support we got
in 2015 was from my Sister in-law Victoria Michael she gave me 100k for hall
and made T shirts for all the participants. The participants contributed money
to cook for themselves, slept in an abandoned government building and we came
out of Season 1. Sheraton Hotel was empty but for the participants and few
friends. A comedian whom I invited even walked away thinking we did not know
what we are doing.
I sold my car for 200,000 without telling my wife just to pay for the hall to be used for the final.
I
came out with so much debt I thought I was going to die. But gradually God took
care of everything.
Not
too long again the journey for Season 2 began and this time around, partnership
came from NTIC Foundation and it was easy.
UUC
3 began and EEC came on board and we had an elaborate press conference. The MTN
Nigeria got involved and the rest is history.
The
journey has been worth the stress because I know the participants go home
better than they came.
I
want to use this opportunity to thank my brother and friend Joseph Endy Ogbuka
for believing in us, my wife and friend Patt La'face Ogar Eyaba for ever
supporting me, My partner Ofem Oboma for being part of the project, Bertha Awa
for making me know EEC Husayn Zaguru for being very supportive, Sustain Fse for
your commitment, name mention will be an issue but for all past participants
who came to be part of this great vision, I say thank you. Unleash Ur
Creativity Night of Stars & Awards 2018 ”
