LAGOS-The founder of Talent Thrones Show (TTS), Dr. Ifeanyi Onyemere has disclosed that TTS was introduced to be the voice of the unknown creative and platform to nurture them into positive influencers in the society just as he insisted that their target is to discover, mentor, empower and promote at least 25 young creative annually.
Onyemere who spoke with newsmen in Lagos during a press briefing noted that TTS has a mission to provide a credible platform that discovers, mentors and empowers young new talents and promotes their arts in singing, dancing, comedy, monologue, poetry and other genres while also discovering new talent. . “There are so many unknown but talented young creative in the remote villages of Africa. They will never get a chance to hone their skills and impact society with their gifts, except, someone reaches out to them”.
“TTS believes that Nigeria and Africa need to focus attention on discovering and developing the untapped talents of her young population and empowering them to contribute to national economic development. Pursuing this cause offers an antidote for violence, unemployment, radicalisation, irregular migration and drug abuse among the youths”.
