LETTER TO MY NEXT GENERATIONS II



Dear peculiar generation,

With enthusiasm and unfathomable joy, I write this to you, hoping that my words will be as clear as the crystal waters of paradise.

The purpose of this letter is to uplift your weakened hearts during challenging times. Although circumstances might be as hard as rock, remember that giving up is never a solution.

In my lifetime, I once attempted to take my own life due to the overwhelming depression that consumed me. Sorrow seemed like the sweetest bread to feast upon, and sadness became the water that aided digestion.

There were moments when I wished for the world to end, but nothing happened. I longed for a sudden reversal of fortune between the rich and poor, yet not even a hint of change emerged.

Even when I believed that the clouds were gathering to bring forth a shower of blessings, instead, they unleashed havoc, turning homes into shelters for the homeless. Farmers became beggars. Still, I persisted in tilling the soil for greens.

My wealth might provide temporary respite, but prepare yourselves for tribulations and trials that will come your way. These challenges are illusions designed to test your faith. Do not engage in confrontation with them.

When you feel downcast and rejected, it's because you've placed your expectations on humans and your faith in created beings. But, my dearest, you must place your faith in God alone.

Know that if you surrender to temptations, you will be a loser. However, with steadfast dedication, you will emerge victorious in every aspect of life.

let these words serve as your guardian as you rest or venture out: "I will never give up, regardless of the circumstances. I am destined to triumph and revolutionize this skewed world. I am who God says I am, not defined by people's opinions of me."

Until our paths cross again, know that I cherish you deeply.

With love,

Promise Olamilekan Odejide ❤️

Kwara State Polytechnic Mass Communication Graduate Emerges Best Fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship

As I read about Mosunmola Esther Ajibade’s recent achievement, lines from the Kwara State Polytechnic anthem echoed in my mind. The anthem is more than a song; it captures the heart of the institution’s mission: "Our Citadel Of Excellence, Great Minds Have Come Out Of Thee. Our Blessed POLYTECHNIC That Nurtures Talents, Fulfills Dreams, Destinies, Hopes And Aspirations. We Love You For You Are The Haven Of Bright Mind With Great Ideas. Your Products Are Found Everywhere, KWARAPOLY, Your Praises We Sing." These lines perfectly tells the story of Mosunmola. A graduate of the Mass Communication Department, she has excelled across various fields as a voiceover artist, OAP, red carpet host, and writer. Her latest feat as the best fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship, organized by PR Nigeria in partnership with Image Marketer Promotion (IMP), adds another feather to her cap. Mosunmola entered the fellowship as an alternative candidate but emerged as the bes...

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

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. His program centers on the innovative Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS), a method that recycles water through mechanical and biological filtration to allow for high-density, sustainable fish farming while minimizing the use of land and water. Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
