Childhood Is an Adventure; Lets Be Aware

Hello Everyone,
Hope you had a wonderful  week? My week was eventful.
I welcome you all to my week 2!

This is a picture of me when I was two years old
( I am in my Yoruba traditional attire called 'Iro' and 'Buba' which can be translated as a top and wrapper respectively. While the material is called 'Ofi')

This is a current picture of me.







As a child, I read so many books but the title of one of my favorite books is The Sugar Girl by Kola Onadipe. I love it because it is about the adventures of a girl who got lost in the village forest while she was on an errand for her wicked Step-Mother. There are not so many children books in Nigeria that talk about a girl on an adventure. It fascinates me that he girl can be boldly portrayed as brave; while other children books talk about girls in traditional settings who are not willing to get married and girls in schools who find learning difficult.

I love quotes in general because I believe that they say a lot about issues in few strong words. Two quote that say a lot to me about childhood are quotes by Late Nelson Mandela, The Former President of South Africa There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children. and by Late  Lady Bird Johnson, The Former First Lady of the United States  Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them.

Children are cute and lovely. We can all learn from them; from their imaginative power. I believe that the should be one of the priorities of a nation; they grow up to be adults and leaders tomorrow. Lets invest wisely.
