PROTOCOL
I am humbled to be the one nominated among the many
other Tiv Sons and Daughters to present this speech on behalf of the 2012 ATE-U-TIV
Carnival events.
This press conference is one of the many other
events that the Publicity committee of the Central Planning Committee has
planned for this year’s event. The ATE-U-TIV, a social media platform, started
upon the realisation of using the power of networking to
connect the Tiv world wide to the development of their homeland in 2005. It was
known as Global Tiv Networks. Ideas were shared on this forum and there was
need to register it as an association so that it can play a significant role in
the development of the nation, thence the name Association for Tiv Empowerment
(ATE).
After social interactions on line for so many years, members decided
to meet and put faces to posts and discussions. So in 2011, An Ate End of Year
party (AEoYP) was put together. It is upon this initial attempt that our “Ate
Carnival” is built.
The ATE U TIV 2012 event is here aready. Are you an artist? you have the opportunity of been heard and known. There's a talent hunt and an art exhibition. Call 08069561331now to book your space. The event continues in another 5days. With the medical outreach done, Its now a roadshow, food feast, symposium, art exhibition, talent hunt, football match and a gala night.
