The choice of Gambia for the
conference was informed
by the wonderful tourist attractions and the loving atmosphere
of the country. Gambia is indeed a country where people are contented, happy,
and hospitable. For
this reasons, BOAN has decided for the Gambia to be the take off point for all
the contestants from participating countries who would congregate in the Gambia
and be made to experience the beauty, way of life of the people as well as
visit notable tourist attractions
It is expected that they would carry their
experience to their countries.
Right from the Nigerian
Embassy in the Gambia, BOAN was welcomed to a warm and remarkable reception and acceptance that put smiles on
the faces of the visitors.
The first International Press
Conference of BOAN held at the Joint Officers' Mess Kotu, Gambia, where the CEO
of Platinum Entertainment Nigeria
Olayinka Fatima Edu, addressed the important dignitaries and all those
in attendance on the vision and mission of BOAN and the need to support the
first socio-cultural Pan-African pageant.
After her speech, the people of Gambia commended BOAN and
expressed their delight and expectations for the eventual hosting of BOAN in
December 2015.
BOAN also visited the
Ministry of Tourism and Culture where the honourable Minister of Tourism and
Culture, the Gambia, played host to its organisers. The minister, after lauding
the innovativeness and concept of BOAN, pledged his unflinching support for the
hosting of BOAN, revealing the ministry's willingness to associate with the
event in every way possible.
The conference in Gambia was the second major events in
preparation for the grand event in December. Also, the CEO of Platinum Entertainment, Olayinka Edu, was in New York a week before where she reached
a partnership agreement with
a US based firm on one hand and a Canadian company for the audio-visual documentary of "Madam Efunroye Tinubu"
our celebrated Heroine for BOAN 2015, which will be premiered all over the
world. The acceptance of BOAN in the
United States was only a taste of what is to come.
In the spirit of giving back
to the society through Belle Social and Development Initiative (BSDI), the arm
of BOAN that is established to accomplish the unique social and developmental
projects of its Belles in various African countries associated with BOAN, BOAN
also visited an orphanage home in the Gambia
and kick-started the vision of BSDI.
Undoubtedly, BOAN is a unique
platform for young, beautiful and talented ladies all over Africa to gain
roots, sprout and fulfil their potentials. BOAN is nothing like the conventional
beauty pageant we are used to; it is the first socio-cultural and Pan-African Pageant with outstanding messages
to the world. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for beautiful and talented young
ladies to have their beauty and brains harnessed.
