Nigerian Blogger, Sokari Ekine Goes to G20 Summit
On April 2, 2009, about 50 influential, knowledgeable and popular bloggers from the G20 countries and the developing world will report live and direct from the G20 summit in London. This is the first time bloggers are being invited to this event.
Nigerian blogger and social justice activist, Sokari Ekine will be among these bloggers who will engage with and influence world leaders on issues including development, climate change and women’s rights. The bloggers were nominated by the public, with more than 700 nominations received in 12 days.
I am so happy for Sokari. She is one of the main examples of a Nigerian and female African blogger that I definitely look up to. This recognition for her is absolutely well deserved!
