Only a few days remain until the Phinadon Humanitarian Awards and magazine launch on December 21.
Renowned for her philanthropic endeavors, Nollywood actress Delight Ifeoma Benson Iweabuiro, commonly known as Queen Phina Don, is poised to launch her humanitarian awards alongside Phinadon magazine. This initiative aims to promote her humanitarian projects both in Nigeria and among diaspora communities. During a recent media event held in Ikeja, Lagos, the Denmark-based actress conveyed her enthusiasm for this dual occasion, which is anticipated to mark a significant milestone for the Phina Don brand by recognizing her humanitarian contributions. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 21, at Presken Hotel Allen, Ikeja, Lagos.
Queen Phina Don expressed particular excitement regarding the magazine launch, emphasizing that it will be a platform for sharing her vision and inspiring others through her humanitarian efforts. The forthcoming publication will be a 54-page, full-color magazine designed to highlight the initiatives, accomplishments, and ongoing projects of the Phina Don humanitarian efforts. This includes the Phinadon Teen Project, Social Harmony Network Teens Splash, interviews with prominent dignitaries, health columns, and sections dedicated to branding, entertainment, and special features.
Supported by the Phina Don Touching Life Foundation, the event is expected to attract a wide array of dignitaries, celebrities, and humanitarian workers, all united to celebrate the foundation’s accomplishments and endorse its humanitarian initiatives.
Queen Phina Don articulated that the Touching Lives Foundation was formed from a vision revealed to her by divine inspiration many years ago. She expressed that, by the grace of God, she has endeavoured to transform this vision into reality, particularly in light of societal needs and the communities that require the humanitarian services of Queen Phina Don.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
