OPINION: "I Can Be President" ~Could The Boy With This Inscription On His Shirt Achieve His Aim!

 

It is on Facebook that Itknews.com retrieved the picture of a local child whose shirt has an inscription of "I Can Be President". 

Do you think such an inscription could inspire the bearer of the shirt to work and walk towards the achievement of his aim as time goes by while growing up? 

Yes, the bearer could achieve that and he could only achieve that with the help of our teachers!

I commend all the teachers of the Nigerian schools, especially those teaching in the remote areas where social amenities are not available, for the wonderful job they have been doing through impacting positively into the lives of the children despite the fact that the parents have not been displaying signs of appreciation.

I have always wondered how life would be if everybody decided not to be a teacher. My advice to teachers is that they should keep on doing their great job which has made most of the students see them as mentors,  leaders, and mirrors they see as replicational objects to be mimicked. 

I want to also appreciate all my fellow parents for the efforts put in to make sure that these children become somebody in life. I pray that may the children be successful in life. 

Like a Yoruba adage which states "Omo to ba ma je ashamu lati kekere ni yo ti ma shenu shamu shamu." It means the educability of a child depends on his readiness to learn. 

So, parents are the ones that will always guide them. Protect them; support their Career, and give them room to express their feelings. Remember that they are our great leaders in the future.
