My prayer for all of us is that after critiquing eloquently on these streets, when we are called upon to serve, may we not do like or do worse than those we criticize.
May all critiques/feedback we dish out to others, also be the lens through which we self-reflect and improve..

Each time I am home I am reminded of this stark reality- friends/fellow advocates/family members/mentors/business partners+collaborators..,who were so eloquent in calling out leaders/politicians, now get into power & fall to the lure of abuse of power. Past/present admins. So sad
#BelovedNaija There are still kids begging/sleeping on the streets, there are still dilapidated classrooms, some without toilets, there are still poorly paid/not well-trained teachers & even among the well trained, some are owed for months! Yet Governors/Senators/HoRs get awards.

They ensure they/their kids have at least 2 degrees/engage in strong extra curricular activities+Sports/community Networks
They do not choose courses/careers based on sentiments..

2/7. Igbos in Canada support one another. Especially economically. It is a remarkable thing and I am often inspired/humbled by it. Even with all the ego/intra - group fightings, the town - union networks are cohesive and ensure all members get the skills they need to thrive here.
3/7. When you arrive in Canada, there is often an Igbo family to take you in for the first few weeks or months. Yes. You live with them, they put you through -how to get "Canadian work/study experience", how to upgrade your skills, how to use a cohort type of shared accommodation
