TOWARDS NIGERIA OF OUR DREAM

By
By Ubong David

For the past two weeks I have taken my time to study the antecedents of young Nigerians who are making Nigeria proud as a nation with great potential. These youth have stand out among the crowd though we have thousands of them in and out of Nigeria but within 20 years interval, we will be able to identify at least 1000 Nigerian Youth Role Models.

When you mention Youth Role Models of course you can't escape these names. We have Kingsley Bangwell, Sam Itodo, Nkiruka Nnaemego Hassan Hassan Rilwan Ahmed Adamu Linus Okorie, Timi Dakolo, Onofiok Luke, Chinedu Ogar, Audu Maikori, Dayo Israel, Zainabu Jallo, Tony Akan, Gbenga Sesan, Jennifer Ehidiamen, Cynthia Mosunmola Umoru, Mikang Longjan, Tara Durotoye, Esther Esther Kelechi Agbarakwe, Mina Ogbanga, Toyosi Akerele, Sandra Duru-Eluobi, Sandra Aguebor, Ola Orekunrin, Innocent Idibia, Tolu Ogunlesi, Cobham Asuquo, Nnaemeka Ikegweno, Moses Siasia, Ohimai Amaize, Anne Imafidon, Aliyu Gebi, Uche Nnaji, Sabiu Aliyu Ibrahim, Abdulmumin Jibrin, Nuhu Kwajafa, Isaac David Balami, Yemi Adesokan, Samaila Sulaiman, Kehinde Fawumi, Alexander Amosu, Wana Udobang, etc. 

These youth has and thousands of others has proven their mettle and shown the world that the story of Nigerian youth is not only about fraud, kidnapping, 419, etc. Some of these youth have sat on the same platform with world leaders and have met the high and mighty in the society. They don't fight each other rather they are making positive impact on the people they met and contribute to nation building. What are we fighting ourselves on social media for? I refuse to join the bandwagon but to think about contributing my quota to make the society better than how I met it. You too can take that bold decision today. Political offices is meant for people who aspire for those offices and there is no justification for us to be fighting each other for them. Those who think about making Nigeria the country of their dreams are acting on their dreams while the bandwagons are attacking each other on social media. Well, the choice is yours. For me, I must contribute to the Nigeria of my dream.

AKWA IBOM CHILD RIGHTS LAW

By
The Akwa Ibom State Child Rights Law The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on 5th December, 2008 signed the child rights act into law to protect the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioural capabilities and functioning during childhood of Akwa Ibom children under 16 years. The law protects the Akwa Ibom child from birth to adolescence and up to 16 years such that the child is afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community. Child development becomes notable from the emergence of speech at one to two years of age. 2 to 7 years is early childhood where the child uses symbolic thought and language to manipulate their environment. 7 to 12 is late childhood and marks the beginnings of logic, involving the classification of ideas and an understanding of time and number. 12 up forms development of empathy, the ability to appreciate the feelings and perspectives of others.

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

By
Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren Peñaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
