SUCCESS in Life......

To some ,Success in life is making it and becoming a public figure in their field
To others Success is becoming affluent in terms of assets and money,
To another group, Success to them is operating from a level level higher and having dominion,
To some Success is having age mates , colleagues , older folks work under them as subordinates  and they give out orders
To some Success means getting to a level no one has ever attained in their lineage,
Success to some is getting the right marital partner, a nice home and having the necessity of life, and being independent....the list goes on and on...

But Success is beyond the visible and tangibles ......
Success is impacting lives for God, it is touching peoples live and bringing them to that point where they would not be able to dispute their need for God,
Success is stopping a person from going towards the path of destruction and showing such the pathway to truth and life. 
It is living a life of example, that others can emulate,  follow suit and not derail.
It is living out lifestyles that will attract many to the way of truth even when it is not convenient,
It is living a selfless life which would not close her eyes to those that needs help around,
It is living a life that adds value and progress to friendship,
It is making others see the truth in love and not putting them down,
It is seeking the good of others and not their fall,
Success is living with humility before God and man,
It is not getting sad when it seems others are ahead of us ,
It is living a jealous-free life,
Above all SUCCESS is a life lived in total surrender and obedience for GOD and LOVE for humanity.

Life is Beautiful with the Right People

Some people are not meant to stay with you for long
Some are just for a season
Some are just for moments
Some breeze into your life and out so quick
Some are there yet without notice but having underground impact
Some are really there and closer than sisters
Some are just like a thorn in your flesh
For some their presence when they are gone, is irreplaceable
For some their presence and absence makes no difference



Some are there in your life to force you out of your shells
They bring the best and the worst in you
and yet give you reasons to smile
But in all every one that comes in contact with us as we journey through life
Have reasons for ever crossing our paths








Cherish and Value every moment you can with the special people
Learn and be stronger from experiences with the odd people
Be prepared to adjust to every situation
Never drop your weapons on the battle field
Until you finish and win your battles

In all be happy and be hopeful for the best

SAVE THIS GENERATION- put a stop to child labour

TADE is a nine year old young bright kid, with great potentials within  if developed ,but her story is such that she has to hawk fruits  of less than a thousand Naira worth on the road  every day. She was made to become the income earner for the family of seven at such an early stage of her life, she was not even given a chance to dream rather was she given a privilege to paint how her future would be only  if she would be given  education. 





 
Children should be given the rights to enjoy life while growing up, they should be cared for until they grow to the age when they are able to make sound and informed decisions. But it is quite a pity, as such is not the case in  this part of the world, few children had an enjoyable childhood, the impeccable child hood they ever pictured in their minds, very few had access to quality education and good standard of living. 



It is quite unfortunate that only a very minute of our young population can actually compete with their cohorts in other countries in terms of reasoning, exposure to technology,research facilities and  high standard of living , the reason for this is not far fetched, it is apparent that these other countries value education more than they value money.

Therefore, if our young people who are supposed to be the vision leaders for this country tomorrow are ever going to fully deliver what is expected of them in many years to come, then there is critical need to act now and to invest heavily in their education now, for a better tomorrow .

There are many children  like Tade  with potentials that if properly nurtured will end up profiting not only themselves as the  carriers but the nation at large, but there is so little that could be done with the lackadaisical attitude the society at large puts to the various forms of child labour.

GIVE HER A VOICE

She is on the street, hawking
She is young, bold and strong
She has no formal education
She looks at her peers that had the privilege to be in school to learn
She secretly hoped she had a chance like them too,
She wished for a CHANCE to express herself, to SPEAK
But she has no VOICE !

There are many like her on the streets and on the high way
with great gifts and talents in them
but they are channelling it  all in the wrong places
potentials that if explored would definitely sustain NATIONS economy for decades
but who cares enough to help them find expression in speaking
how can they speak with no VOICE

How can the potentials in them be developed and be beneficial  to the good of all
if they are not given EDUCATION in the first place
How will their VOICES be heard if they do not have the tools to speak

EDUCATION whether formal or informal,
is still the best treasure that  Communities, Societies and Nations
Could offer to her girls and Women
No woman or girl should be denied her right to SPEAK
Neither should they be denied access to quality Education!

I look at these girls,
I see STRENGTH,
I see HOPE.
