Organizers of TEDxBodija, the first TEDx event in the ancient city of Ibadan have said the event would be held at FilmHouse Cinema Room 1, Heritage Mall, Dugbe Ibadan.
In a chat with IBPulse.com, Olufemi
Babologbon, TEDxBodija's licensed organizer said the decision to hold the event at the Heritage Mall was reached following a visit of the organizing team to the cinema.
"The team went to check the cinema, saw that it is designed like most venues used for TEDx talks outside Nigeria: the podium, the screen, the aesthetics and the size, all to give us TED-like experience," Femi told IBPulse.com.
The event will hold on November 30, 2013 at Cinema Hall 1, FilmHouse, Heritage Mall Ibadan. The theme is Time and Space".
"TEDxBodija
was licensed in May 2013 - Its focus is on sharing ideas between businesses,
people and communities in Ibadan. The theme for TEDxBodija holding on 30th of
November, 2013 is: ''TIME AND SPACE''. It holds on 30th November, 2013 by 12
noon," the organizers said in a statement.
"Created
in the spirit of TED’s mission, “Ideas worth spreading,” the TEDx program is
designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to
stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events
are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community
basis.
The cinema has however denied it agreed to host the event. In a tweet it said it is not aware of the agreement.
"Filmhouse has no agreement to host this event. Thank you," it tweeted.

Privately owned media houses in
Ibadan have been commended for portraying a better image of the ancient city. Olufemi
Babalogbon, Chairman organizing committee of TedxBodija stated this in an
exclusive interview with IBPulse.com.
According to him, the media
houses are contributing to the socio-economic growth of the city. He specifically
mentioned Splash FM 105.5 and Beat FM 97.9.
“We should appreciate stations like
Splash FM, Beat FM and other private owned media houses in Ibadan. They've been
able to paint a better image of Ibadan, also project the Ibadan brand and it is
helping a lot,” he told IBPulse.com.
According to him, the stations in
addition to efforts of the government at making the city peaceful and
attractive to investors had significantly made the Ibadan brand more
attractive.
He said: “Looking at Ibadan, it
has been one of Africa’s largest cities, it has been the hub of civilization in
Nigeria – has Africa’s television station but there have been setbacks. What is
happening in Ibadan now with new government is quite impressive. There has been
a lot of development in terms of business expansion, the economy is growing.
“If you look at it, it needs to
be balanced; we need to bring humanity to all what is happening so that we
don’t get a fully urbanized Ibadan city where the majority of the citizens are
suffering. So I said ‘okay, this is the time for you to bring a platform where
both the old and young can interact, where the poor and the rich, literate and
illiterate; people can share ideas about business, development, social
entrepreneurship, which are the key to development of the economy of Ibadan’.
“The time is just now, everything
is just defining that this is the right time to have TEDx in Ibadan, not just
Ibadan, let the whole Nigeria and the whole world come to Ibadan to experience TEDx
like never before in terms of quality, contents, and impacts.”

Olufemi
Babologbon, chairman of the organizing committee disclosed this in an exclusive interview with IBPulse.com. He decried the transformation of TEDx events in Nigeria to seminars.
"Most
of the TEDx in Nigeria turn out to be seminars,
maybe it’s because Nigerians like so much of seminars. But the spirit of TEDx
is innovation, creativity, ordinary people sharing the stories of their lives
with communities and people going to replicate it," Olufemi told IBPulse.com.
He said TEDxBodija which is the first of its kind in the city of Ibadan will be different from the TEDx events being held in other Nigerian cities.
He said: "TEDxBodija is not going to be just another TEDx, it will be like we are just
bringing in TEDx to Nigeria."
On the timing of the event, he said the time is right to bring TEDx to Ibadan at a time the city is witnessing business expansion and economic growth.
He said: "If you look at it, it needs to be
balanced; we need to bring humanity to all what is happening so that we don’t get
a fully urbanized Ibadan city where the majority of the citizens are suffering.
So I said “okay, this is the time for you to bring a platform where both the
old and young can interact, where the poor and the rich, literate and
illiterate; people can share ideas about business, development, social entrepreneurship,
which are the key to development of the economy of Ibadan”.
"The time is just now, everything
is just defining that this is the right time to have TEDx in Ibadan, not just
Ibadan; let the whole Nigeria and the whole world come to Ibadan to experience TEDx
like never before in terms of quality, contents, and impacts."
