While most of the world and particularly the continent of Africa celebrated Christmas in the usual fashion of opening Christmas Gifts, preparing for visitors and getting ready for the day's festivities, 11 year old Zuriel Oduwole began the day rather differently.
Accompanied by her entire family, she was the special guest on the live global news segment at TV Continental , Africa's newest and fastest growing Pan African broadcast network. Just a few weeks earlier, she has been listed as one of Africa's 100 Most Influential People in 2013 in the London Based IC Publications New African Magazine, thus becoming the youngest person to make the list in the titles 47 year history. Earlier in the year, she had also been featured in Forbes Africa August edition, as a future leader, becoming the youngest person interviewed in that titles 96 year history.
Beaming with her girlish smile, and as composed as an 11 year old could be, she tackled questions on her signature subject of Girls Education, while navigating her way delicately through issues of foreign policy, as posed to her by the networks news anchor.
This included questions on the hot topic issues of South Sudan, a country currently in a state of civil conflict, and Whose President Zuriel had formally interviewed a couple of months earlier, talking to him about Girls Education, Infrastructure Development, and Social Development issues for the newest country in the world.
Other subjects she discussed as eloquently, defying the youthfulness of an 11 year old, included Somalia, where children woke up to the news of an outlawed Christmas celebrations, in that constantly evolving African state.
