WELLSPRING OF IDEAS

By Promise Odejide

In my village, there is an extraordinary well that serves both the villagers and neighboring villages. It never dries up unless everyone is well served, and when it does, it refills overnight, almost to the brim.

Similarly, as a writer, you are like a source of ideas, inspiration, and motivation for everyone. People expect you to continuously fill yourself with new ideologies and be a reservoir of inspiration.

Like a skilled woodcarver in the forest, you are expected to search for the finest woods to uphold the castle and marvel everyone with your craftsmanship.

Your ideas should have the power to cleanse readers of their weariness and invigorate their minds with renewed enthusiasm. It is a must for you to always renew and energize your ideas to refresh readers and rejuvenate their minds.

Some readers are thirsty for knowledge and understanding, and your words satisfy their thirst, quenching the minds of eager readers wandering in the desert of ignorance. By continuously refilling yourself through reading, you will keep inspiring with your powerful writing.

Just like the extraordinary well in my village, you, as a writer, have the potential to be an everlasting wellspring of ideas, inspiring and motivating readers with your profound thoughts and engaging words. Accept the role of a writer with pride, for your influence can resonate far beyond the boundaries of your imagination. Keep nourishing minds and hearts with your creativity, and like the ever-filling well, your impact will be timeless and noteworthy.

Thank You ❤️🙏

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.

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.

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...
