BILLET-DOUX TO ODEJIDE DEBORAH ON HER GRADUATION.

My dearest daughter, Deborah Odunayo Odejide, with my heart filled with unlimited joy and appreciation, I want to sincerely congratulate you on your graduation from the basic unit. It's been a haul journey, filled with temptations and monsters daring you to give up, but look at how far you've come.

Hmm... Debby, I want you to know that the basic unit has built its foundation. You need to build on it with tenacious dedication, determination, and endurance. These three are the only ways to succeed in this crooked world.

I wish I had a brother who would have told me this when I was in your shoes, but has fate would have it, no one did. I've known this since the time I understood my name, Promise. Numerous promises are there for me to fulfill every day of my life. I keep promising without hope or evidence that I will pay.

I want you to know that even though you are the baby of the house saddled with responsibility, temptations are part of life. Trials and tragedies will collide with the slippery path to success, but never forget that the dedication, determination, and endurance you've built will always be your stronghold.

My dearest little goddess, don't forget the promises we made to each other. I've got your back anytime, anywhere. Your success and well-being are my top priority. Along the way, David is your man and brother at this moment. Never fight or neglect him when he reproves you. He does this to show his love, but his understanding or perception might be different from yours, remember we all have our differences.

However, I might not be there to cheer you up or see you in the beautiful gown, but my spirit is there dancing and celebrating. If my words are too strong for you to comprehend, remember that Rome was not built in a day. You can reflect on these words every time you feel like giving up. Don't ever forget this: "YOU ARE THE BEST OF YOUR KIND."

I LOVE YOU 💜

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production. Ishaq, a graduate of agriculture from Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil with specializations in forestry, fisheries, and wildlife, is committed to changing the perception of farming. “Agriculture must be seen as a viable business, not just a way of life,” he explains.
