SAHARA GROUP MD, TONYE COLE INAUGURATES THE NEHEMIAH PROJECT IN SUPER STYLE...

On the 24th of July 2011, The Sahara Group Co-founder and MD Tonye Cole launched  THE NEHEMIAH PROJECT - a project very close to his heart. Like Nehemiah (in the bible) who was known as the nation rebuilder, Mr Tonye Cole is doggedly on the path to building Nigeria (alongsides other well-meaning individuals) starting from the youth of the nation. The project which is targeted at young adults between the ages of 18-30 aims to empower and inspire Nigerian youths to discover, explore and realize their full potential.

The event  was held at the Eko Hotel and Suites and was hosted by Kate Henshaw-Nuttall and Tee A.  In attendance also were  youth leaders, celebs and role models with exemplary records of success in their chosen careers, such as Fashion Designer, Mai Atafo and Lanre Dasilva-Ajayi,  Photographer TY Bello, Musician Dbanj, Omowunmi Elizabeth Elohor Aisen of Beth Models, Motivational speaker  Fela Durotoye and others who shared and inspired the young attendees with their own unique life stories...

With an aim of rebuilding the lives of the nations youths by promoting their God given talent from zero to hero The Nehemaih Project certainly stands out for purpose and social responsibility and it boldly stands as a laudable achievement of Tonye Cole, who also lined up fashion on the runway featuring Kinabuti and fabulous artist performances, featuring Dbanj, MI  etc

  5. TY Bello's hair indeed. Thanks Anon 820pm for clarifying it yet again.

    Are you sure that's Tonye's wife (Sylvia?)

    D'Banj should not take off his glasses. He looks stoned all the time.

    For a change, someone is wearing a belt that isn't Hermes or Gucci. Thanks MI for rocking a Valentino belt.

    Elohor; almost back to her beautiful self.

  6. I guess its safe to say Naija babes should go easy on the scary makeup,
    get foundations that match their skins
    and easy with the fake horse hair lools

  7. Hi Bola, I am getting more addicted to your blog. Lovely pics and lovely work. I am a great admirer of Tonye Cole & his heart to help. Now for some unsolicited assistance on the name front
    a) The lady on the left in the first picture next to Fela Durotoye is Toyosi Akerele, CEO of Rise Networks & lady just mentioned by Michele Obama in her speech in SA.
    b) Ibidun Ighodalo's older brother's name is Dare Ajayi.
    c) In your last picture, its Yewande and Funke. Lady on the left is Yewande Zaccheus, CEO of Eventful Ltd & Owner of Harbour Point event centre.

    Keep up the good work & I will always be here to assist you with names.
