Adaeze has won several awards at her school for her writing skills. She is an avid reader of books and has read virtually all of the books in her school Library. For her, a day gone without reading a book is a day not well spent.

She also writes short stories and poems.

She believes that the world should be made a better place for children so that they can make their own contribution to humanity. Like she says, a world without children would be very boring and is  better left unimagined.

HOW THE IDEA OF AFRICA4U FIRST STARTED - THE JOURNEY FROM A RADIO SHOW, TO AN IDEOLOGY , TO AN ASSOCIATION 

I WAS RADIO PRESENTER & RADIO PRODUCER FOR AFRICA4U INTERNATIONAL TALK SHOW AT READING4U COMMUNITY RADIO STATION IN BERKSHIRE UK FROM MAY 2011 UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2013

 In recent years, Tony  has been The Radio Presenter and Producer for AFRICA4U RADIO INTERNATIONAL TALK SHOW- The Radio Show for Africans around the World and interviewed over 130 Guests in less than two years. The Show attracted listeners in 9 Countries- The UK, Spain, Germany, The States, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Holland. The Show attracted various communities around the world from grass root level and it became mandatory for HIM to initiate and create more platforms for people who did not have a platform to express their voice, this was the first time, Tony began to think more seriously about promoting the true life and success stories of African Achievers and unsung heroes making a big difference to life and to various communities around the world.   

Many ideas started to unfold . 

AFRICA4U WAS BROADCASTED LIVE ON READING4U COMMUNITY RADIO STATION, READING, BERKSHIRE

Fantastic and uplifting shows and Tony is creating something exciting in Reading which I will fully support

Mr Des O Connor – Dating and Relationship Coach http://www.desOconnors.com London England

I was treated with dignity and the opportunity offered to my group was appreciated. We look forward to another session where most members will like to showcase what the group stands for in the form of a group discussion

Mr James Mommoh- President of The Legloma Association of Reading (For Sierra Leonians)

My experience of being a guest was very positive. I found the combination of music and conversation interesting and Tony made an effort to put me at ease. I can be quiet so its nice to have stimulating questions and topics of interest to respond to. I also found the directions of how to get to the studio very useful.
