Zuriel Elise Oduwole,
an amazing 10 year old of Nigeria-American
heritage, has made history as the youngest person ever to be interviewed
in Forbes.
The interview with the award wining documentary film maker, conference
speaker and writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of Forbes Africa. At just
10, whiz kid Zuriel possesses amazing talent that has resulted in her interviewing
business leaders, current and past world leaders and heads of states.
They include current president of Tanzania, Mauritius and
Malawi – one of African’s only two female national leaders. Others are
ex-president Jerry John Rawlings and John Kufuor of Ghana.
Zuriel has also had one – one interview with African’s most
successful business man Mr Alinco Dangote.
She even got a standing ovation for her set of provoking and creatively intelligent
questions to Tennis superstars, Venus and Serena Williams, during their world press
conference in Nigeria.
Zuriel says she has not been granted an interview by the
president of Nigeria because he his busy with schedules but hopes to achieve
that.
Zuriel (which is Hebrew for God is my Rock) believes if she
can walk a mile, then there are girls who can walk a mile, then there are girls
who are seeing her work and progress made, would walk a Mile and half.
