As Nigerians, our rich cultural heritage is our greatest strength. Sadly, the rate at which we're losing our indigenous knowledge is alarming and poses a huge threat to our identity and future. This is why our social project, aimed at promoting the respect, admiration, and veneration of indigenous knowledge is crucial. Indigenous knowledge encompasses our traditions, customs, language, art, and history. It shapes our values, worldview, and sense of belonging. Preserving our indigenous knowledge will help to foster cultural identity, diversity and inclusivity. However, if we fail to intentionally teach and preserve our indigenous knowledge, future generations will struggle to understand their heritage which will lead to a disconnection from their ancestral values, a cultural erosion and eventually an extinction. Therefore, we urge parents, guardians, teachers, and educators to take promoting indigenous knowledge seriously. Indigenous knowledge should be incorporated into school curricula. Students should be engaged in cultural activities and workshops, and language preservation should be encouraged. Support our project by sharing this post with your network, volunteering or donating resources. Together, we can preserve our heritage, empower future generations, and foster a proud and culturally conscious Nigeria. #KeepIndigenousKnowledgeAlive #IamsettochangeAfricaforourfuturegenerations #OneMillionLeadersAfrica #NextLeadersInitiativeforSustainability - NELIS #MinistryofArtsandCulture #Leadership #Sustainability #IamanOMLAchampion

According to UNICEF, despite primary education being officially free and compulsory, a staggering 10.5 million children aged 5-14 years in our country are currently not in school. Shockingly, only 61 per cent of 6–11-year-olds regularly attend primary school, and merely 35.6 per cent of children aged 36-59 months receive early childhood education. The situation worsens in the northern regions, with a net attendance rate plummeting to 53 per cent. Reintegrating these out-of-school children into education is a monumental challenge that demands urgent attention. In light of these alarming statistics, the Globe Takers Foundation is committed to creating opportunities that can make a significant impact in communities. Our mission is to address the root causes behind the staggering number of out-of-school children, providing them with the chance to receive a proper education. We believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a brighter future for these children. By supporting the Globe Takers Foundation, you contribute to a transformative initiative that aims to increase school attendance, provide resources, and ultimately uplift communities. 🌐 How You Can Help: Donate: Your contributions directly fund educational programs, infrastructure development, and resources for children in need. Volunteer: Join our team of dedicated volunteers working on the ground to make a tangible difference in the lives of these children. Spread the Word: Advocate for education by sharing our mission on social media and helping raise awareness about the critical need for accessible education. 📧 Contact Us: Visit GlobeTakers.org to learn more and get involved. Together, we can be the change that transforms lives through education.

Championing Generosity: A Path to "High-Impact" Living. In a heart-to-heart video, I had the privilege to share insights on #GivingTraditions, articulating how community support is deeply and beautifully woven into Ugandan traditions, from collaborative weddings to a broader societal commitment to helping one another. Generosity, to me, is the profound act of; 💖 🌍 Recognizing the needs of those around us 💖 🌍 Relating to them 💖 🌍 Responding with selflessness and kindness. Now, more than ever, this sentiment holds incredible significance. Picture a world where we all embrace such generosity—less conflict, more love. To lead what I call a "high-impact" life journey and address the issues in our communities, we must amplify generosity. It's not merely a virtue; it's the driving force for positive change. Let's be champions of kindness, empathy, and support. Together, we can shape a world where generosity prevails, and impactful lives become the norm. 💖🌍 #Generosity #HighImpactLiving #PositiveChange #CommunitySupport #HighImpactgirl #inspiration #giving #givingtuesday #GivingTuesdayUganda

Adaobi Oniwinde, I absolutely love this story! It speaks to me on so many different levels: making social impact, giving back, bloom where you are planted, give what you can- no matter how small...I just love it! Take a look if you can. It's worth it. For those in a hurry, here are a few quotes that warmed my soul: 1) "It is possible to do great things from a small place." Gives me Monday morning goosebumps! 2) "You can do whatever you put your mind to." Mind and action with loads of reps. Reps, reps, and more reps! That's the tricky magic sauce! 3) "People with less have actually done more!" Hallelujah sister! A teeny Monday morning twinge of that-excuse-is-no-bueno. 4) "We can and we should!" If we want our worlds to change, we can't wait for others to do it. We're it! To understand just how powerful this "small" action is, Google yourselves Makoko, Nigeria. Have a blessed Monday!
