The annual Change A Life (CAL) show is just a few days away, and regular viewers have been wondering who will be joining anchor, Funmi Iyanda as she hosts the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Those who are familiar with the show, which holds every January 1st, know that it involves discussions on topical issues and celebrities usually join in. It will not be different this time around, instead, it will be bigger. There will be D’Banj, radio presenters; Matse and Toolz, Susan Eyo
According to CAL’s executive director, Jumoke Giwa, The show had always been relying on celebrities to give their opinion on issues over the years.
“We have always had Nigerian celebrities on the Change-A-Live Annual Live TV Special. Featuring them on the show also depends on the issues to be discussed and the theme of the show. We invite guests who are able to address the issues we discuss on the show,” she said.
This year’s discussion will be a fusion of issues peculiar to women in our society including welfare of the girl child, girl child marriage issues, and increase in rate of sexual abuse.
Since the governor will be around, also to be discussed is the new Lagos State Law protecting women from domestic violence in Lagos and health problems women encounter.
Following the tradition for the show, deserving Nigerians will be honoured this year as well. There will be two awards this time around – Remi Lagos Award for Excellence and The Hero of the year award. The Remi Lagos Award will be going to Umoh Uwana. She is CAL’s most outstanding holistic educational scholarship beneficiary for 2013.
Organisers are keeping the winner of the Hero of the year under wraps till the day of the live show.
What makes the show special is that viewers get to see their celebrities in a new light. It will be fun to see the serious side of the ‘Kokolete Master’ as he will be talking to the youth out there about the road to success. D’Banj will also be performing his hit songs live on the show. On the whole, the show promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.
The show will be aired on January 1, 2014 on the NTA network from 9am to 10:30am
