TITI OSHODI AND HER ‘BOSEKO’ INITIATIVE

-

Oshodi

You see, if there is anything I really do like in this world, it is when my friends marry lovely wives. Titi is the very beautiful wife of my brother Demola Oshodi. Oh my God, this Demola lucky o. You should see his big head and now compare it to the very beautiful and elegant Titi, then you will know what I am talking about. Last week, I called Demola who is in the thick of the Asiwaju campaigns as the brilliant intellectu­al that he is.

“Demola, how is the campaign going?” I asked. “Won’t you people come and buy tickets to see ‘Awo’ my new play coming up this December so that your operatives will learn one thing or the other about leadership?” He smiled and said, “why not talk to Titi, they are doing something brilliant that you will like.* That was how I got introduced to BOSEKO. BOSEKO is an independen­t initiative that has been conceived to among others amplify success stories of Lagosians. It is a communicat­ions platform that leverages on visceral storytelli­ng as a strong means of inspiring, empowering and engaging a curated target audience. Youths,

MSMEs and young profession­als are its main targets and I must say in this young age, they have really made serious inroads. Titi has always been a communicat­ions expert. One of the most brilliant in space. She has plied her trades in many communicat­ions and marketing firms and it did not come as a surprise when she was tapped to join the first Sanwo-Olu campaign from where she was integrated into the administra­tion in the first term. By the time you are reading this, I would have given my talk to a team of about 20 young profession­als on the platform. According to her, my story is a rich Lagos story. It is the story of how dreams come true in Lagos and of how Lagos has worked very closely with me to build one of the most enduring theatre platforms in the country. Lagos, our Lagos. A place that makes the dreams of the very serious a reality. It is these stories that Titi’s BOSEKO is amplifying with the aim of replicatin­g the successes of Lagosians in a way that will see a collective resolve to succeed. Well done my brother’s wife. Well done, my sister and God bless you and the team at BOSEKO.
