MyFutureGH: Dreams within Remit without Limit

-

 World Remit, in partnership with Miss Ghana UK Foundation, is presenting ladies between the ages of 16 and 26 with a unique   opportunity to showcase their talent to the world.

Dubbed ‘MyFutureGH,’ the initiative,  which forms part of many exciting activities to mark the silver jubilee edition of Miss Ghana UK, will afford an enterprising and talented Ghanaian  lady the chance to win GHC20, 000.00, an amount which will ceremoniously be presented by the Miss Ghana UK, 2017.

Speaking at some reputed media outlets on the project, Mr. Michael Mensa-Bonsu, the Managing Director of RED Communications, who doubles as the country representative for World Remit in Ghana and communications lead of the project expressed delight over the project, noting that:

‘‘We at World remit are aware of the incredible talent of our young Ghanaian ladies. As we continue to battle some of the socio-cultural prejudices which limit the potential of many young women, we could not help but to partner, an internationally-reputed brand such as Miss Ghana UK Foundation in an initiative that will serve to create audience for many young motivated and passionate women in Ghana.’’

He averred further: ‘‘At World Remit , we believe that dreams, aspirations and passions of every young lady is  within their own remit, one that is not limited by the prejudices of culture and society’s expectations.’’

MYFUTUREGH

Miss Mavis Osei, a representative of Miss Ghana UK Foundation, stressed the need for young ladies within the aforementioned age bracket to participate in the project, given the international exposure that same can afford them. She noted that ‘‘whilst winning the cash prize should, understandably, be the  ultimate of every participant, there should be no devaluing  the international exposure this initiative can open to Ghanaian young ladies.’’

‘‘Most importantly, the critical idea that ladies should always be given the opportunity to freely showcase their talents and what they are  made of must not be lost on us, even after a winner is announced,’’ she added.

She was optimistic that the initiative will serve to inculcate into Ghanaian ladies the values and virtues that they need to compete in an increasing globalised and competitive world, noting that: ‘‘In our time, having a dream is not enough. Rather the magic wand lies in the ability of one to effectively communicate what their dreams are,’’ she added.

Touching on the silver jubilee edition of Miss Ghana UK, Miss. Cilla Baafour-Gyewu, another representative of the Miss Ghana UK Foundation, noted with excitement the many milestone achievements the pageantry has chalked since its inception. ‘‘The considerable brand equity of Miss Ghana UK can only be attributed to the many talents the pageantry has succeeded in unearthing since its inception some 25 years ago.’’ she remarked.

Mechanics

The campaign, which is open to young Ghanaian ladies between ages 16 and 26, who are resident in Ghana, runs from now till the end of August. Within this period, participants are expected to upload a picture of themselves demonstrating what they love to do, in any field of endeavour, be it in sports, entertainment, academia, writing and host of others, on social media. Using #MyFutureGH, participants’ picture must be accompanied with brief information about themselves and why they think they deserve to win.

Of the many expected entries, the five outstanding talents, who will be shortlisted, will be required to upload a video, detailing who they are and why their dreams merits a win. The winner will be announced at the Miss Ghana UK 2017 and will be presented with the GH20, 000.00 cash prize by the Miss Ghana UK.

7 Tips for Choosing a great brand Name and Slogan for your Business

-
  In my freelancing journey, I have encountered many people, whose brilliant business ideas, are usually punctuated by their inability to choose the right names, slogan and sometimes logos for their businesses. Some of the people I have consulted for in this respect usually get stuck, when confronted with the duty of choosing the right brand name for their product or service. This invariably served to delay the full operationalization of their business. In the process, some great business ideas are left uncultivated, with some being abandoned. These individuals are not least unclear about what product or services they need to produce. Usually, what they are not too sure of is how to select the right name and slogan, and sometimes logo for their business. Why Is A Great Name and Slogan Important To Product/Service? The right name or slogan for your product or service is important. Not only is that key for purposes of identification, also the right name and slogan aids recall of ...

  It appears the sustained efforts to stifle the operations of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited, will not end soon. It would be recalled that following the recommendations from the KPMG report on the GRA-SML contract, the President directed that SML be made to continue its operations in the downstream petroleum sector, as its much-needed services has led to an incremental revenue in Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector. In keeping with the President’s directive, Ghana Revenue Authority in a letter, directed SML to resume its downstream revenue monitoring and assurance operations, effective June 14, 2024. The June 12, 2024, letter from the GRA to the Bulk Oil Distributors partly reads: “We wish to inform you that Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) has been directed to resume its monitoring operations of the Downstream Petroleum sector with effect from 14th June 2024 in accordance with the Presidential Directives on the KPMG report.’’ However, just when SML resumed ope...

Six ACID TESTS FOR ASSESSSING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE ‘‘You are the light of this world: A city that is set on heal cannot be hidden.’’ Matthew 5:14 Having a brand presence Having a presence on social media differ from being present on social media. Indeed, just because someone is in a place does not mean they are fully and actively alive in that location. In the real world, there could be several reasons for which a person may enter a place. Some people may be at an event by just accompanying their friends and not truly knowing anyone at the said event. These people, under this circumstance, are usually tensed, recoiling to their shells, except they have an exceptionally outgoing personality, which make them cry louder than the bereaved. While everyone can be present on social media, not everyone can have social media presence. Social media presence is about having a standing and not just a status. In this piece, I am painstakingly relating how these two constructs differ. ...
