ARROWS IN THE QUIVER: SHAPING A BULLY-FREE FUTURE THROUGH PURPOSEFUL PARENTING



NATIONAL CHILDREN'S DAY: ONDO TG, ECHOES OF MERCY CEO, IGNITE PASSION IN PARENTS, ON RAISING BALANCED FUTURE GENERATION



As Nigeria marks the 2025 National Children’s Day under the theme “Stand up, Speak up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” stakeholders in Ondo State have called for renewed commitment from parents and caregivers to raise emotionally balanced and empowered children.


The Tutor-General of Ondo Central, Mrs. Owoka Adedamilola Adebimpe,  emphasized the pivotal role of parents during her visit to the Echoes of Mercy Olive Orphanage Home, Yaba, Ondo.


 Speaking with #JobethMedia, she stressed that the foundation of education begins at home- where values, identity, and voice are first formed.

“Education is not limited to the four walls of the classroom. It starts from the cradle- the home- where children are nurtured to become informed and empowered individuals,” she stated.


 Mrs. Owoka highlighted that with the right training, children can be equipped to stand confidently at “the gate”- the societal frontlines, to confront abuses and injustices.






“When children are rightly exposed through positive home and school influences, they gain the knowledge and courage to challenge societal ills," she said.


Speaking further, she explained how parents must be intentional in projecting positive identity and aspirations into their children.


 Similarly, Mrs. Ola-Jesu Zubair, CEO of Echoes of Mercy Olive Orphanage, described children as divine gifts with innate potential waiting to be unlocked.

“If a child is given love from the beginning, such a child grows up with confidence. There’s no child that is useless — each carries a spirit of excellence. What they need is proper orientation and care,” she said.






She lamented the rising instability in many homes, warning that it contributes to a broken society. She urged orphanage homes and caregivers to join forces to create a nurturing environment that allows every child to flourish.


As the nation reflects on the future of its young citizens, these voices from Ondo underscore a timeless truth: children are not just the future; they are present-day warriors in training.

UNITY IN DIVERSITY: A CALL TO ONENESS IN MUSIC MINISTRY In an inspiring address to the Ondo choir members, Pastor Ibrahimo, the State Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Ondo South, emphasized the vital importance of unity within the ministry. He reminded the choir that, despite individual differences, they are all integral parts of a single body, working towards a common purpose. “Don’t think you are not important,” he stated, underscoring that each member brings something unique to the group.  “You are all different in outlook and approach, yet present here in the choir.” This statement resonated deeply, as each chorister is aware that collaborative effort, particularly in music, is needed to produce great melody, as harmony is born from diverse but meaningful contributions. Pastor Ibrahimo identified arrogance and selfish interest, as significant barriers to team progress.  “What causes disunity is pride and self-sufficiency,” he warned, urging members to set aside their ...
