Summary of Debonair book swap party

You know an event is going to be successful when guests start arriving one hour before the event is scheduled to hold. Debonair’s first in-store event, a book-swap party, attracted over three hundred guests who had a lot of fun! The event held at Debonair Bookstore on 294 Herbert Macaulay Way, Sabo Yaba, Lagos on Friday 21st January 2010. The evening started with an introductory speech by the General Manager of Debonair Bookstore, Mr Okunuga.

What about us?

Looking ahead to the April elections, the debate would focus on the key issues affecting a critical voting demographic, with the age group of 30 and under representing 70% of the population. The debate will be a direct conversation with Nigerian youth, inviting presidential candidates to answer questions posed by young Nigerians, at home and abroad, via social media networks including Facebook and Twitter, text message and phone, about key topics of concern. For the first time, the candidates will have a platform to share their agenda with the nation in a live-televised format, laying out specific and concrete solutions. The debate is tentatively scheduled for the last week of March, 2011. “It is
