 “This won’t be the last, but the beginning as we are looking forward to giving back to the society through these events”

“We want to bring sanity and professionalism to the online media especially in Imo State and also see how we can influence social media users to ensure they post facts and not just anything that will gain them attention”

He advised that Children be considered as critical stakeholders in Nation building considering their present status as Leaders of tomorrow.

He advised parents to train their children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow, they won't depart from that godly way that will benefit them, their immediate family and the society at large.

He equally advised the children to always obey their parents in all ramifications so as to receive the blessings therein. He quoted the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians chapter 6 from verse 1 to 3 which reads "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

-SAYS AFRICA CAN ONLY SECURE ITS FUTURE THROUGH EDUCATION

Wife of the President of Republic of Guinea, Hajia Djene Kaba Conde has said that every patriotic African should think about the future of the continent and that the only way to guarantee a prosperous future for the continent is by nations and individuals with the wherewithal to invest heavily in education.

The visiting First Lady made the remark when she visited the Rochas Foundation College of Africa, to see the students of the College particularly students from her country, Guinea, adding that an educated nation or continent will quickly be transformed into a developed nation or continent.

Her words “I thank the president of the Rochas Foundation College for this wonderful initiative of educating the poor children of Africa. I received the letter to bring 5 of my children to study free in Rochas Foundation College through the First Lady of Nigeria Hajia Aisha Buhari who is a good friend and a sister. I didn’t hesitate because I understand the importance of education to our children and society at large”.

For her “The dream of the founder of Rochas Foundation is the dream of all great men from this continent but to the glory of God, Rochas has been able to fulfill this dream. He can now be linked to the PAN Africanist list with Kwame Nkruma, Julius Nyerere, Zik and so on, because of what he is doing for Africa and because he has joined the league of great men that worked for the Unity of Africa”.

According to her “An educated nation will obviously be transformed into a developed nation. These children will in a very short time be source of light to their different nations and Africa at large. Education as been offered in ROFOCA is the fastest means of developing the African nation”.

In her speech earlier, wife of Imo State Governor, Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha told the visiting First Lady that the wife of the nation’s President Hajia Aisha Buhari is the matron of the College and one of the driving forces behind the school and its rapid growth within the very short period of its establishment.

She said “The African Continent has hope for its future generation and it is our collective duty to see to the actualization of this hope, hence, the creation of Rochas Foundation College of Africa. The time has come for Africa to take its pride of place in the universe and ROFOCA is a veritable tool to drive this dream by developing great children of Africa through education.”

She told Mrs. Conde “Your Excellency, it may interest you to know that Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari has thrown her full support behind the growth of this College. She is the matron of the school and one of the driving forces behind the institution. She helped in bringing the 5 children each from the 55 nations of Africa. She is excited to know that you are here to see how your children are faring”.

She added “Looking at your face, we have no doubt that you are satisfied. I thank you for the trust you have in us by releasing 5 indigent children to us to train as future leaders of our continent and we are hopeful that you will still send another five by the beginning of next session.”
