Okon Akpan who hawks on the streets of Port Harcourt said he
wants to be a musician in the future. He did a short rap free style for the
audience in which he wowed everyone with his performance and in the end of it
he stated “I’m unstoppable”, with which we believe given his current attitude,
he will be unstoppable.
The 16th of June was a day set aside by the African Union to

in Africa by 2030″. To commemorate this day, AWLA organized an event for street
children in Rivers State. Keeping It Real (KIR) Foundation among other
