Manitoba Immigrant Excellence Merit Awards (MIEMAS) 2024 -A Celebration of Immigrant Changemakers event in pictures
The premier edition of the Manitoba Immigrant Excellence Merit Awards (MIEMAS) 2024, held on November 2, 2024 in Winnipeg, was a remarkable event celebrating immigrant changemakers who are making a difference across various sectors in Manitoba. Organized by Olawunmi Sola-Otegbade, founder of SWIFTE Radio, the event received support from NAMI, ACOMI, Babsoma Communications, Nigerians in Winnipeg, and numerous community organizations.
Olawunmi expressed the mission behind the awards, saying, “Our goal is to spotlight and celebrate those who make Manitoba a better place through their dedication and hard work.” The event honoured several outstanding individuals, including Deputy Premier Uzoma Asagwara for advocacy and political leadership, Titi Tijani for her commitment to community initiatives, Dr. Lana Adeleye-Olusae for His contribution to Human Resources and Community Leadership and Hon. Terry Duguid for his steadfast support of immigrant communities. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Chief Jim Ogunnoiki, in recognition of his years of dedicated service to the community.
Attendees hailed this inaugural event as truly unique, expressing hopes that the MIEMAS Awards will become an annual tradition. NAMI congratulates the organizers and all the awardees for a successful celebration and their invaluable contributions to Manitoba’s vibrant community.
Congratulations to His Royal Majesty, Oba Joel Olaniyi Oyatoye Titiloye!
The Nigeria Association of Manitoba Inc. (NAMI) proudly congratulates His Royal Majesty, Oba Joel Olaniyi Oyatoye Titiloye, on his prestigious appointment as the Oloro of Oro, a second-class monarch in Kwara State, Nigeria. This is an extraordinary milestone not only for His Majesty and his family but also for the people of Oro and our Nigerian community here in Manitoba.
Oba Titiloye’s tireless dedication to cultural preservation and his passion for sharing Yoruba heritage has had a profound impact on our community, most notably through the establishment of the ASA Museum here in Manitoba. His commitment to honouring our traditions while building bridges across cultures is truly inspiring, and we are confident that his reign will bring lasting peace, unity, and prosperity to the Oro Kingdom.
NAMI celebrates this proud moment alongside His Majesty, wishing him strength, vision, and success as he embarks on this new chapter of leadership.
Warm congratulations once again to His Royal Majesty Oba Joel Olaniyi Oyatoye Titiloye, Oloro of Oro!
