PHOTOS: Star of Africa, Winners Emerge At Healthgarde 2024 Convention—Benita Okonkwo has led the array of over 20 winners in different categories. She emerged a double winner as Business Leader of the Year and Star of Africa at the February 17, 2024 Lagos convention of wellness and multilevel marketing giant, Healthgarde International, a global firm proudly founded and run by African women for Africa.
Okonkwo who was obviously, but pleasantly surprised at her double win, had trumped the sales earnings and figures of every other Healthgarde consultant (as the firm’s salespersons are titled) within and outside Nigeria. Her crowning as ‘Star of Africa’ was done with pomp and pageantry with a blast of fireworks and confetti.
Other major award categories included Entrepreneur, Depot, Rising Star, Social Media Star, Staff, Top Performers and Recruiters of the Year, not to mention the series of lucky draw winners that spliced and spiced up the convention. So many women testified of how their multilevel marketing of Healthgarde products had upped their fortunes and mental wellness. They won the awards as uplines and carted several prizes home.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer, Healthgarde International, Nneka Nwarueze stated, “We have an active base of over 12,000 distributors in Nigeria and in Southern Africa, over 20,000 of them. My experience in this business is over 30 years since Swissgarde. Our business network and networth is spread across the United States, Nigeria, South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Ghana, Uganda, Botswana, and is still growing.
“Today, we are happy to celebrate our top achievers whose dedicated efforts continue to give our high-quality health products increasing market share. We also introduced into the global market today
