Inspire
101, a book on inspirational quotes written by Nollywood actor, philanthropist
and educationist, Mr. Osita Iheme (MFR) aka Pawpaw has been endorsed by
Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).
Following
the endorsement, UBEC has contracted Africana First Publishers plc to print and
distribute copies of the book to different schools in the 36 states of the
federation and the Federal Capital territory (FCT) to form part of their
library and research materials. Inspire 101 the book of inspiration quotes was
reviewed by highly respectable individuals like Professor Pat Utomi, Mr. Dimgba
Igwe and ace comedian, Ali Baba. It was also vetted by Nigeria Educational
Regulatory Commission (NERDC).
In
a chat with Iheme, the celebrated A-list actor, he said: “This is a dream come
through, I pray and believe that the inspire 101 will have a direct positive
impact on students and any other person that reads it. It is the fragment of my thoughts and beliefs
that drove me and elevated me from my not too comfortable background to a
better person in the society. People forged from the background of lack and
insufficiency can rise to become a beacon of hope and inspiration to others,”
Iheme enthused.
The
multiple awards winner who recently bagged the Africa Magic Viewers Choice
Award in best comedy actor category went further: “As role interpreters, our
fans erroneously believe that what we act in movies depicts our true self but
this cannot be further from the truth; Inspire 101 which are my original quotes
is a peep through the window of my soul.”
The
Imo state born actor who is very passionate about education and youth
empowerment is the initiator and promoter of the annual Osita Iheme quiz
competition which holds in Imo state every December. Findings are that he is working round the
clock to institute the quiz competition in Lagos schools too.
