Ten people, comprising four Nigerians and six others from Tanzania and Kenya, have emerged winners at the just concluded TECNO #MyPowerMoment Challenge.
A statement from the organisers noted that what began as a call for African stories became a continent-wide celebration of creativity, football passion and self-expression inspired by the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The challenge, which was designed to honour African creativity, resilience and self-belief, invited students and creators from across East and West Africa to share moments of glory, joy and personal growth. “From viral football reactions to deeply personal achievements, these stories highlighted how football and everyday life connect young Africans in meaningful ways,” the statement said.

It further noted that TECNO received over 10,000 entries from university campuses, viewing centres and spaces where football sparks conversation and community. “Young people brought originality, emotion and serious creative energy. Every entry told a story and every story captured a moment of power,” the statement added.
On the challenge, the statement said: “My Power Moment Challenge was more than content creation. It built community, spotlighted young African voices and strengthened the bond between technology, football culture and self-expression.
“Out of thousands of submissions across Africa, four Nigerian students stood out for their creativity, emotional depth and engagement, while the other six winners came from Tanzania and Kenya. Each has earned an all-expenses-paid trip to Morocco to experience AFCON live.”
The four Nigerians that won the challenge are Kabir, studying Cyber Security at the Bayero University Kano, Sedu, studying Theatre Arts and Film Studies at the University of Lagos, Iroegbu Praise Kelechi from the University of Port Harcourt, studying Human Physiology and Roxy Omar, a content creator on TikTok.
