The 27th of May every year is dedicated to celebrate children in Nigeria. Children's day fell on a Sunday this year, 2018. So, Monday would be a public holiday for sake of Nigerian children who are very special. Like Whitney Houston, in her song - The Greatest Love , I believe the children are our future. Wishing Nigeria's future Happy Children's day!!!
How Do You See Children?
Every child is unique. The children you see today might be presidents, governors etc. and important people in the future. The surgeon who saved my life 3yrs ago was a child decades ago. Imagine that!
My little Winnie might just be the attorney who would defend you in court tomorrow.

Lead By Good Example
Children are very fast at copying what their role models do. I have experienced the 'copy cat' attitude of children many times. Lessons of benefits of being good role models were learnt during and after implementation of the following projects
- Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) & HIV/AIDS Prevention & Care Project (NYSC/UNICEF sponsored)
- National Immunization Days (NIDs) (WHO/NPI sponsored)
Having worked for the cause of Nigerian children and youths, through the above named projects, I have learnt that the best way to get children to do what is right is to lead them by good example. Simply put, role modelling. What kind of role model are you? Let us all be good role models to the children, who are our future.
Invest in Children;
's Objective
The best form of investment is in the future of a nation. Who are the future? The Children, of course.
Team (which I am a part of) have been investing in the education of Nigerian children. We reach out to Nigerian children in schools and donate to them steem branded exercise books and stationeries.
Before the end of Q2, 2018, the team should be able to visit another school to donate books and stationeries to the children. Posterity would thank and remember you for the good investments you make in the lives of people, especially children. So, if you want your name to be written in the sands of time, investment in children would be a good way to go. You can partner with us in
to invest in the future of children.
