A Ten year-old Nigerian girl, Zuriel Oduwole has made history as the youngest person ever to be interviewed in Forbes Magazine.
A film maker, conference speaker and writer, Zuriel (hebrew for God is my Rock) was featured in the August edition of Forbes Africa and it was amazing how many people she had interviewed, including eight current African Presidents, Africa’s richest person, Aliko Dangote and Tennis super stars–Venus and Serena Williams.
The young lady who is referred to by some as the next Larry King ir the next Oprah Winfrey is comitted to her Rebrand Africa project where she hopes to portray Africa in a good light. She believes if she can walk a mile, then there are girls who on seeing her work and progress made, would walk a mile and half.
Congratz girl for making us proud...the next person to interview is Senator Yerima...he should be asked why the fate of the Nigerian girl child, her age or even less, should be that of forced early marriage....certainly, if Zuriel had been given out to one of 'em old men at age 5, she won't be there, shinning on the pages of the Forbes Magazine!
