So Scanty Gela BLOG has been nominated for this Year's ASGA AWARDS in the category of 'Blog of the Year'. Thank you guys for this honour. ASGA is an African socio-political body that awards students engaged in various humanitarian or productive endeavours in Cyprus. ASGA is organized annually by the African Students Association [ASA] in TRNC. [read more about ASGA]

I've always believed that anything good worth doing, is worth doing well. This has informed most of my decision taking activities/projects. Needless to say, Objectivity triumphs subjectivity in matters related to news and information dissemination, esp. in higher institutions and coupled with the fact that one RARELY gets good productive news this region motivated me to start blogging. 

Before i started blogging, most blogs i came across were more interested in advertising their friends, self-aggrandizement and publishing irrelevant, totally redundant and trivial news stories. I believe in change, which is to make or become different; to take or use another instead of, Thus Scanty Gela BLOG was born and the rest, as the saying goes is, history.

It hasn't been one smooth of a ride i must add :D. Oh well, There's been happy times, anxious times, desperate times, lovely times, ecstatic times and jubilant times. All in all, it's been quite an experience so far and i cannot wait to unwrap what's in store for Summer 2015 and beyond. Blogging is, and has always been a form of therapy and release for me. It keeps me sane, organized and my 'feet grounded and not in the air'.

So it is an honour to have been nominated for this years ASGA AWARDS. For the sake of new comers or if you're still curious to know more;  Scanty Gela BLOG is a student-oriented project in N Cyprus, spearheaded by Scanty Gela [Angela Chioma Ozue | Engineering Faculty EMU] to organize the news creatively for more impact.

The Winners will be announced at an exclusive ceremoney in Lagos, Nigeria on the 7th of December, 2014.

This is the 9th edition of the awards, which became an African prize lastyear, with a commemorative ceremony hosted by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja.

“We are thrilled to have the awards return to Lagos where it all started,” said Ohimai Atafo, Chair of the CWC and one of Africa’s leading fashion entrepreneurs. “TFAA has always been excited to fuse inspiration with the best of pop culture, and this year’s event will underline that tradition – an
evening of inspiration, of hope, and of a continent renewed.”

This year’s event is also dedicated to the cause of fighting Ebola in West Africa.  “We are answering to that call to action,” said Mfon Ekpo, Vice-Chair of the CWC and West Africa Representative on the Mandela Washington Fellowship Advisory Board. “If Africa will be saved by Africans, then young people need to take the lead on the problems we face and take ownership
in the solutions we need.”

Ebola cases are doubling every 20 days in the worst affected countries, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) has called it “the largest, most complex and most severe we’ve ever seen”.
TFAA will be deploying its network of winners, nominees, alumni, celebrity, brain trust and continental media partners for this #StopEbola campaign – to get 1 million young Africans to donate social media updates and then for young people to donate a minimum of $25 (4,250naira) each directly to the WHO through the United Nations Ebola Response Fund. It has also selected 50 of Africa’s most influential celebrities to headline the campaign.
