Email from Nigerian Community Association QLD -Dated 12 May 2012

Our People,

many of us may be unaware that NCAQ is a member of Queensland African Community Council (QACC) the body that represents the African Ethnic Communities in Queensland. It is our thinking that there are benefits to be derived from being a member as we are able to present for conversation and engagement issues unique to NCAQ.

As a follow up to our earlier e-mail message, we are inviting members of our community to the Africa Day Festival Nigeria Stall.

Venue: Lawn of African House, East Brisbane, (38 Lytton Road, East Brisbane).

Date: 20 May 2012

Time: 10:00am - 4:00pm

Given the uniqueness of Nigeria and her rich culture, we view making the Nigeria stall alive during this festival as a collective responsbility of all members of our community as this would help in Nigeria image building. The Executive has decided to make our presence known during this festival through fashion (cultural attire) parade and display of Nigerian crafts.

The NCAQ has paid for the stall while we are please requesting all members to support us by dressing in Nigerian attire and coming to our stall. This is an opportunity for us to display our diverse culture and to use all those attires that have been in our boxes or wardrobes for a long time. Ladies please come in "ice cream cone", "satellite dish", "momo kofo" etc.etc etc. Our men in all the attires that would reflect our geography and diverse culture. All we need is a short visit to our stall.

Nigerian children are crying for identity, the general Australian community wants to know us better than the negatives in the media. This is an avenue of informal education for our children and the Australian community.

Thanking you for your support.

Appreciation on the High Commisioner's Visit

Here is an appreciation E-mail from the Executives of  Nigerian community association Queensland (NCAQ) on the visit of the High commissioner on 5th of May 2012.

Our People,

thank you for your great support during the visit of His Excellency, High Commissioner Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ambassador Ayoola Olukanni and members of his mission. He sends his appreciation for the turn out and your engagement in the discussions from 5pm-8:30pm which were meaningful, revealing and educative. 

We are happy to inform that Canberra is able to process applications for Nigerian e-passports (please get one - it is your right), visas and matters on Trade without hassle sequel to our requests. Please visit Nigerian High Commission Website for further information http://www.nigeria-can.org.au/  

 

 

We had the opportunity to be at the meeting of His Excellency with Queensland Assistant Minister for Communities, a group of business women/men and CEOs. His Excellency presented our community as a group of professionals who are making contributions to the development of Australia at our different areas of vocations and willing to be part of any initiative on business and Trade in Nigeria.

In an effort to redeem the image of Nigeria in view of the 419 and internet fraud, he met with Queensland Police Service (Anti Fraud Unit) during which strategies for addressing the issues were discussed and put in place.

The NCAQ Executive would initiate discussions soon on the proposal of His Excellency to form a Pan Nigerian Association.

We have to thank you for your support. Please let us remember that we have a lot to gain in coming together and presenting a common front.

Regards kindly,

Executive, NCAQ
