MORE THAN A FRIEND: OBADARA



Obadara is a soul whose strength is like an undeviating flame, quietly burning with doggedness amidst life's unpredictable storms. He carries within him a melody of fortitude that hums softly, providing a steady rhythm to those who listen closely. On days when the skies turn grey and the world seems to lose its color, Obadara is the one who paints a rainbow with his smile, reminding us that there is beauty to be found in every moment.

His laughter is a sanctuary, a place where worries are forgotten and joy is rekindled. It's a healing sound that transforms moments of despair into memories of happiness. Obadara knows the art of concealing his own battles, choosing instead to be a pillar of strength for others. He stands firm, like an ancient baobab tree, offering shelter and guidance to those seeking refuge from life's relentless downpour.

In his presence, you won't find pity, but rather the fierce resolve of a man who has chosen to rise above the tides that seek to engulf him. He is the companion who will share in your moments of sorrow, turning them into occasions for celebration. With Obadara, you'll find yourself dancing in the rain, embracing the storm, and never feeling alone.

Today, I honour Obadara not only for the joy he spreads but also for the silent battles he wages to keep our spirits alight. Happy Birthday, Obadara. May your inner strength continue to serve as a beacon for the lost, and may your spirit stand tall and unyielding, much like the mighty iroko tree that withstands the test of time.

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.
