The beauty of our race






A short poem on the girl child in celebration of the International Day for the Girl Child

 The beauty of our race 


You are a girl
The beauty of our race
The hope in our face
At your birth many were amazed

The eyes that behold you sees beauty
The mind that think you think endowment
The strength of our race lies in you
You are the African Girl child

Not for your colour but for your value
Not for who birth you
But for your purpose on earth
Not for your frame but your bold nature

Driving away the Lion and Hyenas of our race
Your hands are great
In them lies amazing ideas, great industries
And captains of industries

You are a Girl, strong and courageous
You are a Girl, the pillar of many generations… 
You are, all life needs to be alive

So build the, you in you
Hold forth your purpose
Stand on the heels of greatness
Till you reign and trend on and on

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...
