subject: The Debaters: Another Creative Concept By Mo Abudu [print this page] Mo Abudu is one of those people who refuse to be content with success, and continue to make efforts to go farther ahead in life. And that is precisely why she did not just stop at maintaining the fantastic image she had garnered with her blockbuster show 'Moments with Mo', and came up with another innovative concept The Debaters.
Often, one sees that talk shows are only about light-hearted entertainment and getting to know some of our favorite actors and similar personalities in a better manner. You must have also seen many such shows, which begin to look like typical 'run-of-the-mill' stuff that doesn't really strike a chord for a long time.Mo Abudu first broke this convention with 'Moments with Mo', and followed it up with another idea that was a runaway hit when it first aired in October 2009. The basic theme of the show is to project oratory skills as a means to bring about change in the society. In her own words, Mo Abudu describes the show as a platform for 'giving Africa a voice'.
The basic intention of the show is to inform, influence, educate, motivate and entertain its viewers, with the ultimate goal being to give a new direction to the way society thinks about Africa. One of its major benefits is that it also arrives at practical conclusions to solve the problems that have been standing like a wall between Africa and the realization of its true potential. Young men and women are the ones leading this change, and it is inspiring to see how they debate to arrive at a rational solution to the problems put forth in front of them. All in all, the show, besides being a huge hit among audiences, is also a great way to express one's freedom of speech, thus fulfilling the philanthropic objective as well in a big way. Truly,Mo Abudu has been the fountainhead of change in the present times. Where corporations are only interested in making money, she is someone who actually wants to bring about a change.
