About The Speaker
Nosa Ayanru
A banker by day and an event Emcee by night, Nosa Ayanru a.k.a Nosa Sixx-5ive has over 20 years of public speaking experience. A passion he discovered at the age of 16 watching professional TV hosts and comedians in his home country Nigeria, he has successfully nurtured this skill over the years and has become one of Canada’s most prolific Emcees. Nosa understood from a very early age that the mood at any event depends largely on the person handling the microphone -the Emcee. His ability to engage any audience (irrespective of demography or social status) gained prominence in his college days at the Yaba College OF Technology Lagos Nigeria. It was at this time his friends, peers and fans named him “Sixx-5ive”. This nickname came about not only because of Nosa’s towering height but also because of his ability to take his audience to the highest level of focus and engagement at college events.
