In a surprise move, popular social media influencer Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, better known as "Mandy Kiss," has been unveiled as the new brand ambassador for the Lagos State Kick Against Drug and Substance Abuse campaign. This announcement comes on the heels of her recent controversy surrounding a proposed attempt to break a Guinness World Record for sleeping with 100 men in 24 hours.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Ogunlende, officially conferred the ambassadorship on Mandy Kiss at an event organized by the Lagos State Kick Against Drug and Substance Abuse (LASKADA) initiative. Ogunlende emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and influencers like Mandy Kiss, who have a large following, to combat the pandemic of drug abuse affecting communities across Lagos.
Mandy Kiss, who boasts over 402,000 followers on social media, has been tasked with helping to spread awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and promoting a drug-free lifestyle among young people. Despite her controversial past, Ogunlende expressed hope that Mandy Kiss would be able to leverage her influence to make a positive impact.
The appointment has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some hailing it as a bold move to harness Mandy Kiss's influence for good, while others have expressed skepticism about her suitability for the role.
LASKADA is a multi-sectoral initiative aimed at coordinating an evidence-based response to drug and substance abuse in Lagos State. The organization seeks to promote public education, community engagement, and policy influence to combat the scourge of drug abuse.
As Mandy Kiss embarks on her new role as brand ambassador, she will be expected to use her platform to promote the LASKADA initiative and encourage young people to make informed choices about drug use. While some may question her appointment, others see it as an opportunity for redemption and a chance to make a positive impact on her community.
Only time will tell if Mandy Kiss will be able to rise to the challenge and make a meaningful difference in the fight against drug abuse in Lagos State.
