The annual Change A Life (CAL) show is just a few days away,
and regular viewers have been wondering
who will be joining anchor, Funmi Iyanda as she hosts the governor of Lagos
State Babatunde Raji Fashola. If you are familiar with the show which holds
every 1st of January you will know it involves discussions on
topical issues and celebrities usually join in. It will not be different this
time around, instead, it will be bigger. There will be D’Banj, radio presenters
Matse and Toolz, Susan Eyo Honesty and others. Last year there was Davido, Ebuka,
and Linda Ikeji.

According to CAL’s executive director, Jumoke Giwa, The show
had always been relying on celebrities to give their opinion on issues over the
years. “We have always had Nigerian celebrities on the Change-A-Live Annual
Live TV Special. Featuring them on the show also depends on the issues to be
discussed and the theme of the show. We invite guests who are able to address
the issues we discuss on the show,” she said.
This year’s discussion will be a fusion of issues peculiar
to women in our society including welfare of the girl child, girl child
marriage issues, and increase in rate of sexual abuse. Since the governor will
be around, also to be discussed is the new Lagos State Law protecting Women
from domestic violence in Lagos and health problems women encounter.
Following the tradition for the show, deserving Nigerians
will be honoured this year as well. There will be two awards this time around -
Remi Lagos Award for Excellence and The Hero of the year award. The Remi Lagos
Award will be going to Umoh Uwana. She is CAL’s most outstanding holistic
educational scholarship beneficiary for 2013. Organisers are keeping the winner of the Hero of
the year under wraps till the day of the live show.
What makes the show special is that viewers get to see their
celebrities in a new light. It will be fun to see the serious side of the ‘Kokolete
Master’ as he will be talking to the youth out there about the road to success.
D’Banj will also be performing his hit songs live on the show. On the whole,
the show promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.
The show will be aired on the 1st of January 2014
on the NTA network from 9am to 10:30am
