TRAIN THE GIRL CHILD!

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala:

TRAIN THE GIRL CHILD!


She was raised by her grandmother because her parents were studying abroad, when she was finally reunited with them...she held on tight!


She always wanted her father's attention and this need for attention led to a "COINCIDENCE" that changed her life!


Her father was a lecturer at the University of Ibadan, a mathematical economist who was working on a paper and didn't want any disturbance but the young girl needed her father's attention...


So he picked a book off his shelf and gave his daughter to read the 1st chapter that he would ask questions later and she happily ran off to read it, happy she got her father's attention...


The book turned out to be a book in "ECONOMICS", it was boring and she didn't enjoy it but she still read it and promised herself NEVER to read "ECONOMICS"


- COINCIDENCE 1 -


A few years later at the age of 18, she had already passed her entrance exams to Cambridge and Harvard with Cambridge being her main choice...


She wanted Cambridge because she wanted to study "GEOGRAPHY" and her godmother was lobbying for her to come to Cambridge but something happened, her mother had just gained admission to Boston to do her Ph.D. and as a young teenager, it was better to stay with her mum.


She had to go to "HARVARD" which is in Boston to stay close to her mum.


You can call this "- COINCIDENCE 2 -" as we're trying to create a pattern.


On getting to Harvard, they didn't offer her core subject "GEOGRAPHY" and the only subject close to it that could satisfy her curiosity was "ECONOMICS"


So she studied "ECONOMICS", a subject she swore never to read in a school that was never her first choice...


- COINCIDENCE 3 -


Forbes called her the "Accidental Economist" but I don't see it as "Accidental" or "Coincidence", it was God pushing her towards her destiny of greatness...


Thanks to Economics

        by Michael C.Onah An inspirational poem written and directed by  Dorothy Nolte Law . she's a  counselor, a writer, a poet and hesitant enough too emotional about children's affairs.    children learn what they live , it's her first published in the year 1954 and more of advice the poem teaches us, to behave well and be resourceful to our communities. we open our mouth to resit the poem.       children learn what they live If children live with criticism, They learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, They learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy. If children live with shame, They learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, They learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, They learn to be patient. If children live with praise, They learn to appreciate. If children live with acceptance, They learn to love. If children live with approval, They learn to like themselves.

      By Michael C.Onah A guy shared with me in my closed some time back    about a fair pretty lady who one stupid    and  callous man    that called himself a boss    wants to take advantage of her first before he could proceed further in the job application he wants    to give to her while in his office campaigning with her. What’s the pay check a month? That the fair one has to sell her dignity to a man who is not her rightful husband? Now thank God for the lady she didn’t succumbed to his take, ‘To hell with you and your dirty job I’m a cost product in Jesus I’m not cheap for you or like other girls who are desperate for something…’    She bounced out from his office, keeping the boss in hell thought of his life. If it were to be some other ladies they will hastily succumbed and the job will be granted to them. All this boils down to; your boss is a challenge to you. If that lady had something on her own doing she wouldn’t have experienced such blast all her life.   H
