Passing the Baton; Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Dewdrop Foundation Celebrates International Women's Day 2020

Speaking to the media, I reiterated my key message that gender equality should not be about competition between men and women but about how men and women should complement one another as partners in development. In this regard, the messages about gender equality should be clear and devoid of ambiguity. "We need to be understood and we need male gender advocates on our side", I said.
Thank you Lord for making it happen!🤗☺
We celebrated the International Women's Day on 5th March, 2020 with the key message of passing the baton and breaking the glass ceiling. The special guests, 3 globally recognised women from 3 different generations, shared inspirational messages to the younger generation, about their journeys to success and breaking the glass ceiling.
They gave words of hope and guidance to making it, in a world of several development challenges facing the youth......

"To achieve optimum development, men and women need to be partners" - Agatha Nnaji (Executive Director of Dewdrop Foundation, and host).
"I am generation equality is not about feminism or antagonism, it is about partnership and synergy.... I am passionate about investing in the boy child" - Dayo Benjamin-Laniyi.
"When I was younger, I had an internal shyness, but Madam Agatha had confidence in me" - Dayo Benjamin Laniyi (ace PR and media specialist).
"I AM is about BECOMING. Who are you? BECOMING must take cognizance of male and female partnership.... We must know about life cycle management... To know where you are headed, you need to know where the rain started beating you" - Regina Amadi-Njoku (former United Nation Assistant Secretary General).
"Young people should no longer accept to be called the FUTURE of Nigeria. You are the NOW of Nigeria.... In spite of all the sad news around Nigeria, something good still came. I made it. I f I can, you can" - Eleanor Nwadinobi (first Nigeria President of the international association of female doctors)

Las Las, It Shall Be Well..... #GlobalCitizen

First published March 25 2020.  Behind every disappointment is a blessing.... Have we been too busy to take care of our spiritual, mental or physical health? To connect with our friends, know our children, their needs or talents? Too busy to care? Too busy for family, love, romance, sex, friendships, relationships or simply knowing our neighbours? Too busy to have fun or take on that personal project we've been putting off for  years? Now may be the best time to stop and reflect on our lifestyle. The world is at a standstill. It happens once in a lifetime. Many of us are less busy, uncertain. Businesses are closing for a while - we don't know for how long. The kids are home...
