I AM A GIRL CHILD

My gender was not my  choice God made the  choice But guess what?

YOUTHS AND GOOD GOVERNANCE: THE FUTURE WE WANT

 Thousands of youths from Cross River and its environs recently converged at Calabar International Convention Center(CICC). It was the 8th Career day, an annual event hosted by The Bridge Leadership Foundation. The event was beautifully packaged and the theme "Youths and good governance: the future we want" was just perfect for this very edition.   The event which held on 14th July 2018, had so many remarkable speakers. They were; Mr Tonye P. Cole, Mrs Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, Mrs Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri, Rt Hon (Barr) Onofiok Luke, Prof Paul Nwulu, Mr Hamzat Lawal, Mr Chris Ngwodo, Dr Oyeins Frankland Briyai, OAP Tolulope Adeleru-Balogun and Mrs Emilia Asim Ita. As a participant who had an awesome experience, I'll share some of the things I learnt with pictures too. NOTES: * Every action has a consequence and the consequence has a price. You have to know if you are willing to pay the price for the consequence of your actions. *Every leader understands that network i

Waiting for the storm to pass

Dearest reader,      Life is full of ups and downs as we all know. Sometimes its cool, cozy, sunny, breezy and all but there are times when its just stormy.... Real storm! That time when you feel it's over and everything seems to work against you. What do you think should be done at this point? Give up? No!!! One of my favorite quotes has it that "when you give up when its winter, you'll miss the promise of spring, the beauty of summer and the fulfillment of fall"       My sincere advice is that you wait. I know waiting is not easy and many don't like the idea of waiting. This is easily seen in the bank and public gatherings where people prefer to take 'short cuts' and overtake those who arrived before them so as to avoid waiting. But in life, 'waiting' is one process that can transform and shape our lives. The caterpillar has to wait and pass through a process before it becomes a beautiful and colorful butterfly.      There was a man in the la

A mother's love

Its a love so divine and true A mother's love cannot be compared to another It is as sweet as honey... A taste that remains palatable Throughout a lifetime Her love is as warm as wool She goes through the hustle and bustle To ensure that life for her child is pretty cool As steady as a rock Mother's love remains unchanged Amidst faults and wrongs of her child She forgives A mother's love is as gentle as a dove She's always there with a dose of love Mother remains patient as Job Through the thick  and thin Even the highs and lows Quietly  teaching  and  correcting  in love For the hope she has for  her  child She gets busy as a bee So lucrative and creative Engaging in business And  neglecting  idleness Her love is incomparable In her smile, you see the sunshine Her heart is made of pure gold Yes, her love never  grows old A mother's love 😘💕❤💕❤💝💞                           Alice Asuquo
