Celebrating Leadership Beyond Borders

Palma de Mallorca, Spain — The world is preparing to converge in the vibrant Mediterranean city of Palma de Mallorca as it hosts, for the very first time, the Clevenard Media Award 2025 — a prestigious international celebration recognizing excellence across entertainment, entrepreneurship, innovation, fashion, leadership, and community development.

This landmark edition, organized by Clevenard SL, aims to honor exceptional individuals who have gone beyond personal success to create transformative impact in their communities, countries, and the world at large. Among this year’s distinguished nominees is Samson Hodge, also known as Sam Hodge or Sambon Classic Intl, a name synonymous with leadership, service, and cultural diplomacy.

A Leader Rooted in Culture and Purpose

Born in the southeastern heartland of Nigeria — home to the proud and industrious Igbo people — Sam Hodge embodies the values of integrity, unity, and community. His cultural upbringing instilled in him a lifelong passion for service, discipline, and human connection.

Now based in the United Kingdom, Sam’s influence stretches across continents, linking Africa and Europe through education, media, and community projects. His story of resilience began decades ago when he migrated to Italy, where he spent over 20 transformative years balancing education, community service, and personal growth. Those years laid the foundation for his leadership journey and his enduring commitment to improving lives.

An Advocate for Diaspora Empowerment

Sam’s journey into leadership began early. His natural ability to organize, inspire, and connect people propelled him into influential roles within the Nigerian and African diaspora communities. Over the years, he has served as:

• Town Union Chairman, promoting local development initiatives and cultural preservation.
• State President of the Nigerian Union (Italy), where he strengthened diplomatic and business ties between Italy and Nigeria.
• National President of All Nigerian Associations in Italy, a position that placed him at the forefront of uniting Nigerians in the diaspora and fostering bilateral cooperation.

Through these roles, Sam Hodge became a bridge between Africa and Europe — a tireless advocate for investment partnerships, cultural diplomacy, and diaspora engagement. His leadership inspired collaborative projects that promoted entrepreneurship, education, and civic participation across national boundaries.

A Multifaceted Professional: Author, MC, and Media Personality

Beyond his administrative and leadership accomplishments, Sam is a celebrated author and professional Master of Ceremonies (MC) known for his charisma, warmth, and professionalism.

His work as an event host has graced international conferences, cultural galas, diplomatic gatherings, and community celebrations — where he brings people together through words, humor, and genuine connection. His stage presence reflects both confidence and humility, a rare combination that has made him one of the most respected figures in the diaspora community.

Fluent in five languages — including Italian, French, German, English, and Igbo — Sam embodies the multicultural spirit of modern leadership. His linguistic fluency enables him to communicate across cultural boundaries, foster partnerships, and promote understanding among diverse audiences.

A Man of Service and Vision

Despite his extensive achievements, Sam Hodge remains deeply grounded. Known affectionately by his peers as a “jolly good fellow”, he is admired not only for his accomplishments but for his humility, generosity, and unwavering optimism.

He continues to collaborate with development stakeholders, governments, and NGOs to champion initiatives that promote education, youth empowerment, and sustainable community growth. His current projects emphasize youth mentorship, cultural preservation, and investment facilitation between Africa and Europe, reaffirming his lifelong belief that leadership means service.

“True leadership is about creating pathways for others to succeed. It’s not about titles — it’s about purpose, vision, and the lives you touch along the way.”

— Samson Hodge (Sambon Classic Intl)
