The global campaign, which sees
happiness in everyday occurrences in the society, seeks to celebrate and
highlight the positive sides of Africa.
Anchored
by the witty comedienne, Helen Paul and Isaac Moses of Goge Africa, the event, besides showcasing diverse African culture
and reawakening the ‘I believe in Africa spirit’ in the Nigerian youths, had
generous doses of poetry, music and dance.

According
to Olufemi Ashipa, the Brand Manager, Coca-Cola, “the youths of Africa have the
manpower, the intellect and resources to change the world. Nigeria is already
taking the world by the storm with great feats being accomplished in the areas
of technology, fashion, business, music, literature and others.”
Consumers not at the event can also participate in the
campaign by sharing their reasons and personal stories of optimism, passion and
