Lolo Igbo returns for second edition

Organisers of Igbo Award and Lolo Igbo pageant has unfolded plans for the second edition of the award and beauty pageant that took the Igbo nation by storm last year. The imitative is the brainchild of a multimedia company, Vine Shield limited in collaboration with the Enugu State Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

According to the Executive Director of the company Stanley Uche Okoronkwo, “this second edition will be grander than the first; we are putting everything in place to ensure we raise the bar this year. After a successful debut last year, all eyes are on us to see what we will do this year and we won’t disappoint.”

Igbo awards and Lolo Igbo pageant are events founded to celebrate sons and daughters of Igboland, who have excelled in their chosen fields. It is equally meant to celebrate the culture and values that the Igbo nation holds dear.

The debut edition saw worthy sons and daughters, being recognized and honored. It cuts across every area of the society and beams its search light on those doing exploits in their chosen fields.

“Last year, we kept fate when we delivered a brand new Peugeot 307 car to the Lolo Igbo winner, Miss Nkechi Fuluife, an undergraduate of Geology and Mining in the Enugu state University of Science and Technology. She hails from Ezeagu local government in Enugu stat,” Okoronkwo noted

Impressed by her prize, Nkechi said,  “I’m happy that Vine Shield kept fate. Many pageant organisers always come up with one story or
the other to avoid giving out the star prize. I hereby call on all would be participants to do so with confidence. Lolo Igbo is a pageant you can trust and the form is just N5000,” she hinted.

The organisation’s head of marketing and sponsorship, Miss Success Julius called on cooperate bodies to embrace the award due to its
unique outlook.
