We thought of the perfect way to boost your week – Kids flexing and winning!
This month, secondary schools across Lagos State have been slugging it out for a coveted spot at the district level of the Lagos State Private Schools Spelling Bee Competition sponsored by MTN mPulse. And it has been a roller coaster ride that we love.
Just so you know, the winner will be the first kid-CEO of MTN Nigeria!
On Thursday, October 10th, 2019, we headed for Apata Memorial High School, Isolo, Lagos, and we got to see kids spell words that we can’t even dare to type. Thank God for the internet to stop us from embarrassing ourselves!
The children were so passionate about winning that you could see their frustration when they couldn’t spell some words. Awwwn…
Then we saw the meaning of true sportsmanship when the other contestants came together to support and encourage a JSS2 student who couldn’t make it to the final.
PS: Our ‘JSS2 Queen’, was competing against senior students and still made it to the top 4. You are champion honey, stand up with pride!
Oh, we fell in love with Njide Ken-Odogwu, Manager, Sponsorship and Promotions, MTN Nigeria, when she pulled the student in for a hug. The little queen perked up after that.
After 8 heart-clutching rounds, 3 girls bounced off the stage with the top 3 prizes. Go, Girls!
Apata Memorial School shook when the winners were announced. Kai, our eardrums are still on reset-mode. Lol. We loved their energy!
It was dance, dance, dance after that.
At the end of it all, the kids flooded the mPulse zone and tried their hands at every game and puzzle!
Just like our ‘JSS2 Queen’ moved on to fun and laughter, this week we will leave the past and move on to more stunning things!
Have a beautiful week!
