International Day For The Girl Child






Happy International Day to every girl in the world!
“You're a girl! You're strong, you're immaculate, you're smart, and you can do ANYTHING. It's in you!” 
― Ifeoluwa Egbetade


Tim McGraw reflected his love for the success of the girl-child in his song, “My Little Girl.”  A few of the lines in the lyrics are, “Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again. Go on, take on this world. But to me you know you will always be, my little girl”


The girl child in Africa grows up with untapped resources and then she becomes dependent on friends and foes to define her. Many times we also get angry at the African society for how the society attends to the girl-child, but this is not always the case. We need to change the narrative by preparing the mind of the girl-child to embrace the beauty of her personality and the virtue, strength and potentials that comes with her nature.

Today, I Olabusola aligns with the United Nations theme of “With Her: A Skilled Girl Force”. This is the time to focus on unlocking the potentials of the girl-child in Africa. Every girl has a purpose on earth, just like every human.

The mind of the girl child needs to be nurtured to appreciate the greatness that each gift and skills, she possess can give back to humanity. The need to add values to generations through the development and use of the God- given resources is a substantial reason to train the girl-child to work towards being the force to reckon with. Amit Ray an Indian Author says, “There are miracles and glory in every child. Our glory lies in empowering them to flourish their glory”.

Let us encourage skillful young women around us.





Thank you for your time on Olabusola's Review.

HOW TO TEACH A TODDLER HOW PARENTS EARN MONEY

Image
Children often feel bad when they approach us, as parents for something they want to buy and we tell them there is no money or we can't buy it now. To some of them: " Daddy don't just want to buy it " or " mummy is just being difficult ".  It forms a bad pattern when children get used to the culture of " there is no money", "No you can not have it", "We can not buy it now", "Stop wasting my money", "Monies are not plucked on trees", "do you think I steal money" and much more. Many children make a request because they know and believe it is Daddy and mummy's responsibility to provide everything and whenever this fails to happen, they feel less loved. It might be just best to enlighten them about how people earn money or income and how money circulates. When children are made to understand how salaries are being paid then they would be more considerate rather than being wasteful or un...

Apenuwa Temitope Daniel

  Apenuwa Temitope Daniel is a remarkable individual whose intelligence and determination make him stand out. He is not just ambitious but also a relentless goal-getter. I recall him once expressing his academic standard, saying he must not see a "C" in his results again. For him, even a "B" signifies failure because an "A" is his true grade. Our friendship deepened as we discovered both similarities and differences in our personalities and preferences. We shared the distinction of earning "A"s in Directing Practical Exams, not just once but repeatedly, confirming our shared dedication to excellence. However, our creative inclinations differed—Apenuwa leaned toward modern, foreign plays, while I had a deep affinity for local and traditional themes. This contrast enriched our perspectives and strengthened our bond. Fate brought us together in a memorable project group during our undergraduate years in 2006, alongside Faturoti Tayo, Latifat Suleima...
