He noted that Brainjotter’s strings of inspiring life-transforming skits and comedy shows has redefined the creative industry with an appeal of generosity and humanity, setting a new standard of practice which conforms to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“In specifics, his novel comedy show (Outside the Box) ironically, turned out to be a humanitarian platform with the donation of N30 million for a female participant in clutches. We are particularly impressed that this for the female gender is unsolicited,” he said in a statement.
According to Anaroke, the comedian’s creative ingenuity which reinvented Pa Mike Ejeagha’s folklore song Gwogwogwongwo was also singled-out for praise as it placed Pa Ejeagha’s career on global music radar. He added that Mrs. Ezenwa, an international business owner and her company ‘Le Look Bags’ is one of the first companies to receive a Nigeria-AfCFTA Certificate of Origin, enabling the organisation to trade under the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) protocol.
Ezenwa floated an African fabric lifestyle accessory company 39 years ago and it has become massively life-impacting on a global scale as its bag academy has empowered over 1000 youth with skills acquisition for free.
This life-changing opportunity targeted at young women also enables them to trade across the African continent under AfCFTA. The Lelook brand today has varieties of bespoke bags and luggage designed to cater for customers’ needs using trending technology and internationally acclaimed designers.

Amb. Okolie is being celebrated for his cash-flow service and life-style initiative called LaBuena Vida with the vision of producing 50,000 millionaires yearly. The initiative enables individuals to tap into the system to generate funds for business projects.
