Mental Grooming: My Perspective on the Teens Hub for IYD 2020 by OBOMO EKI-ALLEN

Teens Voices: Testimonial from Teens Hub

by OBOMO EKI-ALLEN

In Teens Hub, I've learnt a lot personally about certain topics. First of all, I got an eye opener on the topic of rape, which talked about the dangers and what we can do individually to stop the menace.

Also, I learnt so much from the book on "Sign Posts on the Road to Success" by E.W. Kenyon, which talked about training yourself to become successful and keeping at it. The discussions in the billionaire class tagged "Wealth Series" really taught me a lot on what being rich actually means and how to attain it.

With all these and more, Teens Hub has helped to groom me mentally and I'm happy to be a part of it.

Abstract On this International Day of Conscience, we reflect on the delicate balance between righteous indignation and ethical responsibility. This article examines a 2025 incident in Nigeria where an activist’s public confrontation of a struggling mother and her 11‐year‐old daughter escalated into a humiliating episode. The case, which involved the exposure of the child’s face in violation of child protection guidelines, ultimately led to a public apology from the activist and compassionate intervention from well-meaning Nigerians including the famous chess player and philanthropist Tunde Onakoya, and the founder of Buchymix, who stepped in and offered to support the child’s education and the family's welfare, including accomodation. Through this analysis, we explore the complexities of activism that neglects empathy and the need for a conscientious approach in public discourse. Introduction Conscience guides us in differentiating right from wrong, yet its application in pu...
