African leading female drummer, Aralola Olumuyiwa, may have paid her dues in the entertainment industry as a female drummer of repute, but she is now diverting her attention to cater to Lagos urchins who she has tagged ‘Good Boys and Girls.’ Her passion to elevate the status of some of these street boys and girls was inspired while she was a cultural ambassador a few years ago.
The talented entertainer, who has traveled widely met some uniquely talented street boys in the course of propagating the indigenous culture the nation is blessed with. She decided to put her newfound passion in nurturing these new talents through her reality show tagged, ‘Eko Inspire Me Academy’.
The show aims at saving young Lagosians who have helplessly resigned themselves to the darkness of street life. Having had heart-touching and deeply revealing interactions with them, the singer was inspired against tagging the youngsters in derogatory language as has been the status quo.
The reality show will feature a multi-faceted process with a talent-based and competitive selection of boys and girls from the flash points in Lagos State. They will be awarded scholarships and other life-enhancing opportunities while a winner will eventually emerge. The Academy would eventually turn to an annual event and would travel to other states of the federation.
