Through life one meets many people both good and bad. Through life one meets many souls both old and new. But in earnest one meets such few great minds that can change the way one thinks and the way ideas ,( especially) in Media, are channeled. One such Artist is Fauzi Fahm. Some may say I am bioust but the truth is as it is. Working as Creative Director for newspaper magnet Nnduka Obaigbena he is what we in Nigeria today need to emulate. His vision, creativity, accountability and humility far out-weigh mere mortals whose Bank Accounts have more Zeros after a prime number than you and I have fingers.
Accompanying his Guru & Boss from Lagos to New York for the PR Campaign ARISE Fashion Show :http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/arisemagazine/42269/ - Fauzi was de-toured by Private Jet to London to create and edit pictures that were to become posters of Nigeria's Great Leaders & Tigers for the "This Day Nigeria-at-50 Awards" . Thankfully,I too played a small part in this campaign by printing these Posters for this memorable show set in Abuja on the 21st Feb 2010.
72 painstaking hours of creativity, photoshop & editing c. 72 Posters of the likes of Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr( oil baron, bank executive and telecoms magnate, who was voted Nigeria’s most outstanding business personality in the last 50 years by THISDAY readers), Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Paschal Dozie, Olorogun Michael Ibru, Subomi Balogun, Dear Uncle Chief Hope Harriman were amongst other great men and 1 woman ( should have been more Guys) whom are too numerous too name here - Mission Accomplished !
Good work fellow - hope all this is appreciated by he whom most counts in your world......
I believe, the winds of change must swell up to become a hurricane that sweeps through the corridors of power likened to cleansing of King Augeas' stables by Hercules.
Nigeria's sons and daughters similar to Fauzi are the natural resources we as a Great Nation cannot neglect or forgo!
Money is important but so is Intergrity, Accountability, Hardwork, Mainteinance, Creativity, Saving and Sharing - that's how you increase a Nation's NNP!
Acting President Goodluck Jonathan of the Rivers State like partly I - we look to you fine Sir!
