OUR TEENAGERS NEED GOOD MENTORS. PART 3 -MARY BELLO

School an institution for leaning. Now, my question is ; for learning what?  In this part of the world where school is a place of favouritism and tribalism from primary to tertiary, where teachers are proud and praised for their ability to flog students mercilessly. Shool and institutions for learning,  learning almighty formula, essay writing, economics, skeleton , osmosis and all that? School is a very big institution for indirect learning, in reality it is where you learn low self-esteem because you are sitting at the back, where teachers show special love to some students while ingnoring others, where you learn condemnation because after failing a subject twice then it is not your calling, where you learn talking people down because your teachers can't stop telling you how and why you won't progress due to your parents inability to provide you with textbooks, where you learn bribery in other to get good grades by gifting your subject teachers. Where you learn ir...

OUR TEENAGERS NEED GOOD MENTORS. - BELLO MARY #BellzWrites

If its just one voice that remain available and never relent, truly I say onto you; our teenagers will yield out good fruit. If the scripture that says, "if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Makes no meaning and be it no good for thought for this generation, then  truly, nothing will righteousness and all things that come with it do when the wickeds come in the night to put weeds among wheats, I see a lot of weeds in the life of wheats of our teenagers. We all have this mustard seed around us that is waiting to be planted, then grows to be the biggest tree. I believe our teenagers need confidants.  What is your work as a mother of your girl child cannot tell you about this uncle that promised to buy her everything she needs? Because she fears you blaming her rapid growth, cursing the uncle and chasing her friends away in the name of protection. What is your work as a father if your male child will stop drumming and singing? Because he fear...

ABOUT 30, I FEEL BLESSED AND GRATEFUL. - ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN, CEO, QUADOOWEAR.

Glory be to Almighty God, I will start with gratitude for it is the only way I have learnt to show that I appreciate life, so I give thanks to the Creator for another revolution. Well, I am happy and appreciative for many reasons, amongs these numerous reasons are life, good health and discovering my purpose on earth, I tell you for free that these are the little things that make up the rocky foundation of existence. I feel very happy and highly blessed. Counting my blessings will take a whole life time. Where do i start from? Firstly; LIFE I am happy about life despite the fact that I have lots of negative vibes growing up. If you grow up in a dysfunctional family, you will understand, but life has a way of teaching you what you need to know so long you are willing to learn. I thank life for teaching me to approach it with simplicity, yes! And foolishly! If you are living a life of divine mission you definitely will know what I mean by simplicity and foolishness. A man with...

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S NEW YEAR SPEECH TO NIGERIANS

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S NEW YEAR SPEECH TO NIGERIANS I join my fellow citizens this morning to welcome and celebrate the New Year 2018. This year promises to be pivotal in our quest for CHANGE. Unfortunately, I am saddened to acknowledge that for many this Christmas and New Year holidays have been anything but merry and happy. Instead of showing love, companionship and charity, some of our compatriots chose this period to inflict severe hardship on us all by creating unnecessary fuel scarcity across the country. The consequence was that not many could travel and the few who did had to pay exorbitant transport fares. This is unacceptable given that NNPC had taken measures to ensure availability at all depots. I am determined to get to the root of this collective blackmail of all Nigerians and ensure that whichever groups are behind this manipulated hardship will be prevented from doing so again. Such unpatriotism will not divert the Administration from the course...

QUADOOWEAR CEO, ALLI QUADRI WRITES A NEW YEAR 2018 MESSAGE ON LEADERSHIP

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 !  Time is an illusion, in reality I believe less in all these happy new year things, but it's good still,  looking at it from a perspective that it helps us to have a sense of orderliness, new beginnings,  allows us to celebrate and get closer together with our loved ones after a busy year all long and a feeling of freshness. Indeed if you can have all these feelings everyday, you can call it your new year,  if you can have these feelings every month,  it's your new year.  However, new year celebrations  makes us feel,  every new dawn should make us feel the same too. The miracle of waking up to life after a short death we call sleep is amazing, I don't see any other miracle bigger that that. 24 hours is the greatest gift human begins can have, but like we always do,  we forget mostly about the little things,  because they are little,  we think so much about the big things because they are big, what we ...

MY SONG 'ANKARA' IS AIMED AT PROMOTING AFRICAN CULTURE -MANIZY

  It is crazy how we look at CREATIVE minds in  our  community,  I have been interviewing music makers lately and I am amazed to discover how beautifully intelligent they are, yet our society label them as thugs and all sorts of bad names. Manizy has had enough struggles in life,  if he rode in expensive cars and uses expensive "shits" now,  he has paid his dues.  I will allow him take us into his world of music by himself.  Enjoy!  CAN WE MEET YOU?  My names are Israel Oluwatunmishe Onyenze, but they call me Manizy. HOW DID YOU GET YOUR NAME MANIZY?  I got Man-izy from my name Israel,  when you abbreviate it.  And I am a man who like to take things easy,  so I put it together and I got the name Manizy.  TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND AND CHILDHOOD  My background wasn't that nice,  I was born to the family of late Mr and Mrs James and Patience Onyenze, we were five boys and a gi...

CAN WE MEET YOU? My name is Olasunkanmi Junior Sowemimo, I am a Nigerian based in South Africa, I am a disk jockey. TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY YOUR FAMILY BACKGROUND I was born into a wealthy home,  my father was the first son of his family while I am also the first son for him.  My father died when I was four years old, but my mum took us away because my father's family were fighting for  the properties . My mum raised us as a single parent,  it wasn't easy,  I hawked and sold different things just to support her,  but I thank God now that everything is fine. TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND I attended Adegoke Primary School and Community Work Yard  Secondary School, Lagos. After my secondary education I began to get busy doing one hustle or the other. My mother wanted me to go to further my education but I had a different plan and schooling was not part of it. WHY CHOOSE TO BECOME A DEEJAY? I choose to become a deejay b...

GROWTH Focus on growth, not success. Growth is a process of learning and being. MR NIGER D Do you remember this in your secondary school days? In biology, i was taught that living things have some characteristics that made  them up.
