If you are from Delta State, it is not too late for you to join. Please go to the website and nominate people from Delta State that you think deserve to be honoured as one of the 100 outstanding Deltans. For instance, I nominated 20-year-old  Merrilyn Akpapuna (pictured below) who recently emerged‎ overall Best Graduating Student of Dillard University, New Orleans, USA.

Read Shirley's piece‎ below to gather more information about The Delta 100. Btw, do you remember my first photoshoot with Lola Maja almost 4 years ago? Shirley is the HOT model wrapped in pink tape with the pink butterfly border decoration. If you missed it, click on the photo on the left hand side of the blog here that has "INCEST" written on the male model's back. (Shirley will kill me) Hehehe! *legs it*

THE DELTA100: Excellence. Innovation. Service

Telling the Inspirational stories of 100 of the Most Distinguished Persons of Delta origin, past and present.

As Nigeria marks a 100years of nationhood, Avenue3 is proud to present The Delta100, a historical and real-time project profiling exceptional Deltans whose life and legacy cut to the heart of who we are as a people. This revolutionary project is anchored on promoting the core values of Excellence, Innovation and Service.

By beaming a huge spotlight and telling the inspirational stories of a hundred distinguished Business and Political leaders, Entertainers, Humanitarians and the ordinary ‘Sons of the Soil’ who have done and are still doing extra ordinary things, we hope to foster unity and progress.

The Delta100 is a celebration of Delta state and everything she means to Nigeria. Although a flamboyant and lavish honor to its recipients, it is more importantly an acknowledgement of how far and how well we have come as a people and our willingness to build a peaceful and more successful Delta State!

The Delta100 team has visited 23 out of the 25 Local Government Area across the 3 Senatorial District in Delta State organising townhall meetings and getting nominations from Traditional rulers and Chairmen of Local Government Council.

The Director of the project is Omena Daniels the publisher of bloke, a prolific writer, a motivational speaker and a former editor of Hints magazine. His Deputy is Miss Shirley Alero Aghotse an accountant, a humanitarian and an ex beauty queen. Some of the acclaimed pen pushers that have been billed to write these inspirational stories are Chude, Toni Kan, Egor Efiok, Omena Daniels etc.
