The Strings of Unity: An Instrument of Tranquility heard at Destination Peace Summit

Franklin Bosah, a talented violinist and pharmacy student at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), captivated attendees with his artistry at our recent peace summit orchestrated by Lead Network Africa founder Chukwuma Ephraim Okenwa in Enugu. His performance of “We Are The World” was a powerful testament to Destination Peace’s core message regarding music’s ability to unite and inspire. 

FRANKLIN CHUKWUMA BOSAH

My name is Franklin Chukwuma Bosah. 

I am a Violinist  and also a pharmacy student of Enugu State University of Science and technology (ESUT)

I was first introduced to the violin when I was 14 years old (2019). At first, I was overwhelmed by it because an instrument that creates wonderful sounds and sonorous melodies in the hands of a professional was mere wood and wire in the hands of a newbie.

At first, I lacked consistency on the instrument and due to that, I wasn’t seeing any progress or improvements, not until 2024, when I bought my own first personal violin and that is when my breakthrough started.

I decided to give in all the commitment, dedication and consistency it needed and in the space of a year and 6 months, I can say that I have made far more advancement than I did in 5 years. This taught me a lesson, that consistency is the secret weapon to success and achievement 

Music is an essential tool to humanity. It is one universal language everyone tends to understand. It’s only through music that people of different languages, different religions and different beliefs can be found, singing along to a particular melody and lyrics in unity and oneness, that is why no song unites a country like their national anthem

My reason for picking the violin is simple, it is where I create music best and it is where I express myself freely. It is more than just a bow on strings, it is a deeper connection, that is why I can boldly say that today, I am doing something I love and have passion for and that I will make it my priority to promote unity through music, one note at a time
