HAPPY INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION, NIGERIA!

SHADE-IN has helped me to express and exercise my passion for impacting lives, to brighten younger ones world by energizing their creative mind. I have been able to relate and work as a team at every point in time. Thanks to SHADE-IN.

To Nigerians, there are many times when you want to give up, and spending time doing other things may have seemed more attractive than training, but your hard work and diligence will pay off. Keep up the good work.

Don't be beaten into silence. You have all it takes to rise and be the best you can be. Greatness is in you, greatness is within.

Happy Independence Celebration!

While I worked with SHADE-IN in the course of service (NYSC) at Aba-Ebira, I realized that there were so many people who I could reach out to and they are often closer than I think they are. I learnt the power of networking and became exposed to more people while working with SHADE-IN.

"Until we realize that Nigeria is our only home and treat her right, we cannot move forward", and "without God Nigeria cannot be!"

In the next 1-2 years, I want Nigeria to be great, and to be known, not in a bad way but in a good way. I want Nigeria to be blessed by the favour of God. I want all killings to stop in Nigeria because Nigeria is a good country where people can migrate into but the killings will not encourage migrants who can contribute to the GDP of Nigeria, to settle in our great nation.

To invest in people, prioritize education - International Day of Education

To invest in people, prioritize education. This is the theme for the 2023 international day of education. This statement is in all sense factual and this is why Saving Hand Development Initiative (SHADE-IN) prioritises education. One of our children whom we reached out to in a community settlement in 2010 and have supported through his university education just graduated as a Civil Engineer in December, 2022. Recently, one of us was reached by one of our children who has not been able to further his education because of lack of funds. There are so many children who are in this situation in Nigeria. In seven years from this year, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are meant to be achieved. But how far have we gone in achieving it? Let's start with Goal 1, "No Poverty." Rather than this, it appears that there is an increased poverty rate. In Nigeria for instance, you do not need to read the statistics to know that hunger is in the land as a result of extreme poverty.

About Changed Teachers Conference (CTC)

Changed Teachers Conference (CTC) is a Conference of teachers geared towards raising Role Models, Mentors and Change Drivers among Teachers who will in turn effect change in their schools, community, and the education system as a whole beginning from themselves. It is a one of SHADE-IN's programmes aimed at effecting lasting transformation in schools especially Public schools in Nigeria. It is born out of the need to implement change in the school system using the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) model, which involves the community (in this case, the school), driving her own change. The maiden edition of the Conference seeks to validate the school's result of the survey conducted by SHADE-IN in some public secondary schools in Benin City. A visit to many public secondary schools in this city will reveal the need for this programme. The details of the programme are as follows: Theme: Change Drivers for Education Transformation Date: 29th March, 201
