Dynamyt magazine came into existence in may 06 2011. Membership is open to youths of 15 years and above, devoid of any form of discrimination.
Being a body of youths as the name carries, the body is made up of young secondary school leavers and college leavers who feel they can affect the lives of youths to work in a better direction towards making the nation a better place for us all and also trying to push entertainment positively to their lives.
As a body of youths filled with young school leavers and members who are college leavers , members are levied each time a programme or project is to be executed hence most of our programmes are sponsored by our selves for now as we trying to target different companies for sponsorship.
Combining the power of education and entertainment we came up with the dynamyt magazine a serial playlet addressing the ills in the society to the youths in regards to entertainment.
Today, not forgetting our sole aim of working towards a better nation by empowering the youths hence plans will reach an advanced stage to start a ?Youth Empowerment Centre? where youths can learn various skills freely.
For now we are starting with the:-
- Catering;
- Computer;
- Fashion designing;
- entertainment articles.
Challenges Faced By dynamyt magazine When there is no challenge the tendency to grow might be impaired, during the period of thick and thin we are faced with various challenges, some of which include:
- Inadequate fund to support our activities to the desired taste hence most of our activities are just executed with few media (still/motion picture) coverage which most people will request before they will sponsor or support our programme.
- Our desire is that the youths should move from one level to a higher one, now by the time we need a youth most, that might be the time he/she will have to go and write one exam/attend to academic work or get a good pay job. Since we lack the resources to keep them back we have no choice than to allow them go forward.
- Sponsors/Donors prefer to work with big names making the big ones not to allow the young ones grow.
Despite all these challenges amongst others we have chosen to work as hard as we can to achieve our set aims and objectives with the least that is available .
