This is my second piece on this subject matter. The first was to Ayo Ayeni.
I intend to do more.
Believers are not easy to come by in the work that we do, where we represent a Counter-Culture to the dismal reality of a morally bankrupt society, demanding sanity from her precious children.
Take it or leave it, the greatest need of today’s African child is direction in his/her quest to understand how this life works. Yet the most scarce commodity today is still direction.
In the light of this ,I do this shout out to an honourable believer in our relentless cause of Securing A Friendly and PROTECTIVE Environment™ for the precious African child.
I met Dr. Femi Orawusi in 2017, he had come to invite me for the maiden edition of the Teacher’s Conference, being organised by EDU-AID and powered by the Covenant Christian Center.
I believe Convenant Christian Center is one of the most conscious and socially responsible Faith-based institutions in Nigeria. I relate with this well as I boldly make same claim about The Fountain of Life Church, where I worship since 1997.
I spoke at the Teacher’s Conference in 2017, a gathering over 5,000 teachers and was invited back at 2018, a gathering of close to 10,000 teachers. It has been adjudged the biggest gathering of teachers in Nigeria and arguably Africa.
He thereafter registered Mr. Mafikuyomi for EDU-AID at our 2017 S.A.F.E™ for Children System’s Bootcamp.
Dr. Orawusi was at the maiden edition of our S.A.F.E.™ for Me Conference, where we launched our close to 900 pages S.A.F.E™ for Children Instructional Manual. He was not only one of the few people who waited till the end, he invested in copies of the manual instantly, encouraging the work and the spread of the message. He was also present at the second edition, which held in 2018.
At the public presentation of our S.A.F.E™VILLE Comic on Saturday, March 30, at Chrisland Schools, Ladipo Oluwole, he was there to support us fully.
He also did not come empty handed. He brought us a powerful cake, baked by his dearly beloved wife to mark my birthday. I was close to tears, when he arrived with the cake. My team had suggested to me that we should have a birthday cake at the event, being the week of my birthday but in the heat of preparation, it was left out.
Here was Dr. Orawusi with this desired cake, making our day so graciously and putting a priceless icing on the cake of the day.
Today, he remains a believer and two days ago he still sent me a message on possibilities of mutually beneficial collaboration.
Here is Dr. Orawusi, holding a copy of the maiden edition of our S.A.F.E™VILLE, our family Comic, which is a tool of our commitment to involve our precious children in their PERSONAL SAFETY and SELF-PROTECTION and to provide a VALUE-BASED Alternative to the morally bankrupt contents, decorated in the deceptive robe of entertainment. You can subscribe today to the S.A.F.E™VILLE comic, joining Dr. ORAWUSI and many Subscribers to further adumbrate the noble message.
To a FRIEND, BROTHER and BELIEVER, Dr. Femi ORAWUSI and all other BELIEVERS, known and unknown to us, we are today because you are.
Thank you for BELIEVING and for adding concrete actions to your BELIEF.
Do have an INSPIRED day.
Yours IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PRECIOUS AFRICAN CHILD,
Taiwo AKINLAMI
