NIGERIA'S TONY ELUMELU FUNDS 1000 AFRICAN ENTREPRENEURS

Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu has decided to fund 1,000 budding African entrepreneurs as part of a $100m (£67m) initiative to boost the continent's private sector.

Mr Elumelu said the entrepreneurs were Africa's "hope for the future".

The 1,000 come from 52 African states and territories and were chosen from some 20,000 applicants.

Forbes magazine listed Mr Elumelu last year as the 26th richest African, worth $1bn.

The BBC's Lerato Mbele reports from South Africa's main city, Johannesburg, that his donation is the largest by a businessman towards the development of small businesses in Africa.

"The selection of these 1,000 entrepreneurs brings us closer to our ultimate goal - to drive Africa's economic and social transformation from within and to radically intensify job creation in Africa," Mr Elumelu said in a statement.

He plans to spend $100m to support 10,000 entrepreneurs over the next decade, and to create one million jobs through the initiative, the statement said.

ENAJITE PETERS CROWNED AS NIGERIA’S VERY FIRST AIRTEL TRACE MUSIC STAR!

A lovely evening of glitz and glam has produced Enajite Peters as the first ever-Nigerian winner of the Airtel TRACE Music Star Competition.

Judges Olisa Adibua, Cobhams Asuquo and Lara George, who were given the unenviable task of selecting five finalists out of the hundreds of thousands of entry applicants, took to their positions and unanimously selected Enajite as the competition winner,

The national finale, which took place at the “OceanView Grounds” in Victoria Island, was hosted by Jimmie of the ‘Beat FM’ and popular Comedienne Chi Gurl. The star-studded event featured superstars among the likes of IcePrince, Phyno, Vector, Falz, BOJ, and Joe El, with popular media personalities in attendance.

An overjoyed Jitey had this to say: “When my name was called as the winner, for that moment, I didn’t know what to do; it was surreal and happened so fast. I know this is the beginning of greater things to happen. I am thankful to the judges for every piece of advice and constructive criticism that will sure make me a better singer, the fans who voted and those that came out to cheer for me on that day. There’s no way to thank them enough. The whole ‘Team Jitey’ are the real winners”.

TRACE Nigeria MD Sam Onyemelukwe said: “I believe Enajite she has what it takes to be the Pan-African champion.  Her passion and willingness to learn is super. There was this instance during Lara George’s performance that she came out to watch. I was impressed because this was at a period where she was supposed to be prepping herself for the biggest moment of her musical career. I wish her all the best of luck in Kenya.”

Enajite Peters received the top National prize of $25,000 and will represent Nigeria in the Pan-African Grande Finale in Kenya, where the winner will hit the jackpot: a record deal with Universal records and Mentorship with AKON.

INTRODUCING THE LUMO PROJECT: "JESUS" - THE GOSPEL OF JOHN NOW ON NETFLIX

This is introducing to you a fresh distinctive feature film which tells the story of all four gospels in the Holy Bible independently, and in various languages with a narrative voice-over which tells the story of each gospel. 

The Lumo Project is a ground breaking, multi-language biblical film resource transforming the way we discover, study and engage with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament Gospels: redefining the standard of visual Biblical media. 

The Project encompasses four feature-length films – one for each Gospel account – that revolutionise the way we experience the story of Jesus and the world of First Century Palestine in which he lived For the first time on screen, the Lumo Project takes the actual four individual Gospel texts as its script, word for word, unedited. The very latest historical research has been used to recreate Palestine of the First Century as authentically as possible. This has helped break the stereotypical tradition of a westernised Jesus and his life story and present it as it really was 2000 years ago. 

**Watch Trailer below**

The Lumo Project is a versatile educational resource that can be seen and heard by a truly global audience as it can be dubbed into any version and any language. 

Dr Edward Adams, a Professor of New Testament Studies at  King’s College, London had this to say on the project, “No other Jesus production so successfully captures the story of Jesus in its fourfold form”.

The project is a pioneering educational resource designed to promote biblical literacy for anyone interested in the Gospel stories, irrespective of faith. It contains all the original stories that changed the world from Jesus’ miraculous birth to his agonising death on the cross and his triumphal resurrection; all his miracles, his teachings, his parables and the extraordinary story of his life. 

The Lumo Project provides a unique Gospel experience for the 21st Century and is accessible to everyone, now available for full viewing on Netflix. 

BBC Two will be showing the Lumo Project and the Gospel of John in 3 parts over Easter 2015. The broadcast presents a unique opportunity to improve and promote biblical literacy both within the church and beyond, particularly in the education sector. For many, it will be the first time they have experienced the telling of the gospel story word for word.
