CHILDREN'S DAY PERSONAL NOTE...2013

It is always said that children are the future of tomorrow. This aphorism is arguable as old as man or will I say Nigeria. Growing up for us is quite challenging, because we hold the belief that we need to develop ourselves properly so as to become the viable future Nigeria needs and who the past generation can reckon with. It is so sad to note that, the older generation are not so friendly and truthful for calling the children the future of tomorrow thereby not leaving anything for the tomorrow that is yet to come. The point here is that, having in mind that children are the future of tomorrow and still keeping up with the attitude of corruption, embezzlement and all sorts is a threat and danger for the tomorrow that is yet to come, in which children of today are believed to be partakers of. It is more sardonic to emphasis here that, children of this present Nigeria or better put, the future of tomorrow’s Nigeria are being victim of all sorts of social ills, pseudo-family background, lost history, child abuse and all manner of child injustice or assault. Our culture is obviously going into extinction; this is so evident in the way we perceive bringing up a child in our present society. Traditionally speaking, bringing up a child use to be a communal thing or task, unlike the western setting whereby, bringing up a child is solely the duty of the family. Even the communal setting is corrupt with all sorts of indecency and decay in morality. My call here is that we put a stop to this deed of degenerating the future of Nigeria, by doing away with corruption, environmental pollution and embracing sustainable development in our immediate society. All manner of indecency and immoral act and publicity should stop. HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY TO YOU ALL
