Renowned Radio Personality, Mr. Steve Onu popularly known as “Yaw”, will moderate the event.

The winning prize this year is a bass guitar and a digital combo. This is in line with FELABRATION’S Mission to develop music at the childhood stages. Over the years various music instruments like the keyboards, drum set, etc were the winning prizes.

The FELABRATION SECONDARY SCHOOLS DEBATES is designed to sensitise the teenagers, early, to the environmental issues around them. FELA in whose Honour FELABRATION Holds, was very particular about teenagers. He believed in the Power of The Youth, particularly teenagers towards effecting the desired societal changes.

FELA deliberately courted teenagers by dedicating a weekly Sunday Show, “The Sunday Jump”, to them. It was an afternoon concert which stretched from 4pm to 9pm, good enough time for teenagers to be out without parental worries. These concerts were to form bedrock of FELA’S Youth Vanguards eventually. Although the FELABRATION SECONDARY SCHOOLS DEBATES don’t necessarily tinker directly with the mindsets of the competing students as FELA’S sermons at his Sunday Jump did, yet it provides a fertile ground for teenage brainstorming on contemporary issues. This year’s edition promises to be explosive. The Secondary Schools Debates is the tonic that let Loose The FELABRATION FIRE annually. Let’s do it again.
