In a world where profit often takes precedence, Stanbic IBTC stands out as a shining example of a company that places humanity at the core of its operations. With a steadfast commitment to addressing a crucial issue like limb loss, the organisation has, over the years, established its flagship Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiative, Together4ALimb, as a beacon of hope for transforming lives.

Losing a limb is a devastating experience that extends far beyond physical loss. For children facing such challenges, access to healthcare, rehabilitation services, and social inclusion are vital for their physical, emotional, and social well-being. With the gift of prosthetic limbs, these children receive a second chance. They can walk, run, and play again, embracing the joys of childhood.

Since its establishment in 2015, the Together4ALimb initiative has provided solace to 55 children aged one and above. Through this transformative program, children who have lost limbs are equipped with prostheses that are replaced as needed, ensuring ongoing support until they reach the age of 18.

The impact of Stanbic IBTC’s Together4ALimb initiative goes beyond physical assistance. It encompasses emotional and educational support as well. These children have a robust support system that enables them to receive a good education. By incorporating an Education Trust of N1.5 million per child, beneficiaries get access to quality education, paving the way for brighter futures.

The stories of these children are inspiring. Despite the adversity, they exhibit an unwavering determination to succeed. With Stanbic IBTC as their trusted partner, they demonstrate that anything is possible with the right support. Within this initiative lie touching stories illuminating families, communities, and society.

At Stanbic IBTC, embracing hope and transforming lives is a noble aspiration and a tangible reality. By prioritising humanity and addressing critical needs, the organisation makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Entertainment lawyer, Akinyemi Ayinoluwa, reiterated the importance of a strong brand identity for upcoming artistes. “The two most essential assets for a recording artiste or musical creative are the music you create and your identity.

Check out Qing Madi’s single Why on the EQUAL Africa playlist, and get to know more about her with our artist Q&A below:

What is that one surprising thing your fans might not know about you?

That I am bilingual. I speak Spanish and Igbo even though I was born, bred and raised in Nigeria. More so, I am currently learning Mandarin. One more thing, I am obsessed with learning to the point where I do it unintentionally.

When did you realise that making music was in your destiny and what is your WHY for pursuing this craft?

Music for me wasn’t just a talent or an ability that I had. Not something that I was able to do, it was a life I wanted to live. A feeling that I wanted to express. Music is my shallow thoughts spoken loudly. It is my comfortable and confident space as a teenager. I knew it was my destiny from the first time I climbed on stage and held the microphone at seven years old. Something about being in charge of millions of people and being heard.

My “why” is easy. Growing up antisocial, it has been hard to justify my feelings and emotions, and music was a safe haven for me, and I believe so many people are still seeking theirs. As a 16-year-old teenager, I want to be who they listen to when they seek peace.

Which African songs or artists did you grow up listening to?

Tiwa Savage, Davido, Burna Boy and Wande Coal.

To someone who has never heard your music, how would you describe the sound, tone, and style?

Afro, R&B, and a limitless sense of emotion.

Any advice for someone afraid to follow their dreams?

Deafen your ears to the crowd and begin. Nothing begins unless you just start.

After the artistic rejuvenation of the historic Freedom Park, Johnnie Walker has taken further strides to solidify its place as a promoter of culture and creativity. These strides led to Johnnie Walker’s freshest project: the Independence Tunnel revamp. Located in Maryland, the tunnel saw a complete transformation, with art that celebrates the Nigerian spirit that never stops and honours the people that walked before us. It is a reminder to today’s creatives that they are surrounded by greatness, and they only need to search within to find it.

Lead artist, Tumininu Ayobami Gbebire, was inspired by our colourful culture and rich landscape. She explains, “Nigeria’s culture is rich, yet underrepresented. Historical creative symbols like the Ife Bronze heads, Adire dye pits and Benin Ivory heads, all represent the labours of our hero’s past and are treasures which should be revered”. Take a visit to the Maryland tunnel and you will sight the familiar faces of our founding fathers’ Chief. Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Sir. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, whose steps we now walk in.

Alongside this powerful mural is a documentary that details the journey from conception to completion. It shows how the extraordinary is built on creativity, community and a shared purpose. It further highlights the “Keep Walking” philosophy, which emboldens people to believe in themselves and never give up on their dreams.

To all creatives, Keep Walking and stay connected to @johnniewalkerng on Instagram and Twitter for more updates and information.
