PROMOTING FAMILY VALUES & VIRTUES

Femi Adelegan is a time-tested bureaucrat and information manager, whose technocratic instincts kept him within the precincts of political power for several years. From 1994-2000,  Adelegan, was an image manager to four governors of Osun State, Nigeria. He also served (2003-2010) as Chief Private Secretary/Special Adviser on Policies, Programmes and Plans Implementation to the governor of Osun State, Nigeria. In this capacity, he headed the Governor’s Desk and managed government’s trade promotion and investment desk; and Diaspora relations. From 2008-2012, Adelegan served as a Member of Nigerian Government’s Official Delegations to the General Conference and Executive Board Sessions of UNESCO in France, and was on Nigerian Presidential Delegations to the United States, China, Vietnam (2006) and the G-20 summit in Canada(2010). He also attended the 41st Session of the United Nations General Assembly held in New York, United States. Femi Adelegan has visited all parts of the world.

PROBLEM: The whole world faces the problem of increasing occurrences of  horrible criminal and social vices; hence the media crusade focuses on an urgent intervention by stakeholders, including parents, governments, organizations with parental responsibilities, and the civil society. 

PROJECT: Increased parental attention is required.  Proactive measures are proposed to prevent issues that cause inequality, insecurity, access to guns, alcohol, illicit drugs, and other issues that promote delinquency. We advocate greater involvement of women as pivots of family units, and parental collaboration to run homes and role modelling.
ELEVATE HUMANITY: Project places very high premium on the need to create empathy in  younger ones. Both parents must be united in rearing their children. Unless adequate steps are  taken, the global community may soon witness an unmanageable upsurge in social and criminal vices.  The programme is all about global peace and development and reorientation of the society to imbibe positive values. 

The structured campaign sensitizes the target audience to collaborate and adopt measures that would guarantee preventive actions by the target audience; while also confronting the scourge of societal decay, insecurity, criminal conducts, and social vices headlong.  This activity comes at a defining period when viable strategies of preventing vices like terrorism, avoidable conflicts and wars, illegal migration, prostitution, drugs peddling, armed robbery, rape, cybercrime, prostitution, and advance fees scams have become global concerns.  The campaign places premium on adequate parental care and adopts preventive over reactive options to forestall incidents of children imbibing negative ways of life at impressionable ages.  

200 million Nigerians are targeted. African nations to follow.  Nigeria, a country of 200 million people has youths constituting 46 per cent, under the age of 15.  Population of children under age five (5) years is about 31 million. The society records incidents of child labour and forced marriages. Women are marginalized.

We engage the citizenry through a multi-pronged media approach to get them to contribute meaningfully to national and international development. Our social intervention campaign strategies suggest preventive, rather than reactive strategies. 

We are running an advocacy activity designed to combat large-scale social and criminal vices and parental deficiencies in Nigeria.  The key objective is to evolve radical changes in behavioural patterns across the strata of the society through moderation of attitudes, and tackle social and criminal vices that have tormented the world in the past few years. The multi-pronged social media campaign is running on our network of ten channels. 

IMPORTANCE: Project aligns with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child declares the family to be “the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children.  The Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda) is based on integration and an emphasis on a global compact focusing on universal participation, shared responsibility, and improved accountability. Sustainable development can only be carried out through a focus on families combined with participatory leadership, adherence to the rule of law, and a stronger role advocating for their citizens by states.

Proactive measures are important, hence the need for proper attention to youth development.  Issues like economic inequality, cultural norms, access to guns, alcohol, illicit drugs, and other issues must be frontally attacked. 

The target audience comprises: Governments, parents, organizations with parental responsibilities, civil society organizations, civil society and youths. The structured campaign sensitizes all Nigerians to collaborate to ensure preventive actions; while also confronting the scourge of societal decay, insecurity, criminal conducts, and social vices headlong. It is being implemented to fully sensitization the citizenry to ward off the corrosive effects that modernization like erosion of values, cultures and traditions. The campaign preaches the need all citizens that have basic functions to perform in influencing development, to rise up to these challenges that have assumed frightening dimensions globally.

Campaign promotes virtuous conducts and enhanced enviable family values. In particular, parents must build good families as microcosms of the society, with couples being the moral compass to ensure that there is unity, commitment, and indissolubility in marriages, to keep the family together. Only a fraction of parents pay particular attention to the development of their children. The campaign takes cognizance of increasing alarming incidents that should be controlled without further delay; and the fact that it is better for damages not to occur at all, than for crises management to occur. Stakeholders must come together to address collaboration for implementation. 

We are running a social development programme that is all about peace and development, as Nigeria has resources sufficient to move it to greatness. Reform and reorientation of the people to imbibe the culture of patriotism, hard work, and good governance in this critical, difficult and challenging world is stressed. Apart fom the advocacy campaign, we have designed a Conference of Stakeholders to arouse consciousness of all stakeholders. Campaign also preaches unity between couples and increased attention to bringing up their children. Additionally, there is ROLE MODELLING that enables young ones to imbibe positive conducts of successful couples. 

I reflect a lot on the plight of Africa and . I am widely travelled and exposed. Each time I travel to the Western world from Nigeria, I wonder why Nigeria cannot record attainments of the First World nations given enormous resources available in the country. An important factor of the activity is underscored by the fact that in several homes, youths are abused and children are indoctrinated into horrifying activities.  I was brought up in a home in which our parents were particular about family values. How they behaved in terms of loving themselves, raising children and general peaceful conducts rubbed off on me. I also raised my family along the pattern imbibed from my parents.

In consideration of the fact that the quality of today’s children would naturally determine the society’s future, it is important  for  Government, parents and organizations with parental responsibilities that have not lived up to expectations to take positive steps to improve on their obligations.  Activity serves as a source of encouragement for younger couples, family units and the larger society to mobilize their families for cooperation for development,  and enables spouses to further encourage themselves to work towards increased mutual respect and cooperation

Family values is important to the success of all societies. The whole world is in a defining period. Parents and stakeholders in parenting appear not to have lived up to responsibilities. Failure of parents to combat the trend of social and criminal vices  at this period, when modernization has brought along with it the erosion of values, cultures and traditions. Terrorism has crossed international boundaries; necessitating the global community’s strong resolve to adopt precautionary measures to cope with the requirements of the emerging times.

A rundown of the campaign indicates that issues being addressed affords the nation the opportunity to primarily repair damages done to societal values and strength of character of the growing ones by moral, criminal and social vices; and also attacking these vices. 

The structured campaign sensitizes all Nigerians to confront the scourge of societal decay, insecurity, criminal conducts, and social vices headlong. It is being implemented to fully sensitization the citizenry to ward off the corrosive effects that modernization like erosion of values, cultures and traditions. The campaign preaches the need all citizens that have basic functions to perform in influencing development, to rise up to these challenges that have assumed frightening dimensions globally.

My team consists of highly skilled professionals  who are relevantly exposed. I have been able to acquire a rich blend of knowledge and maturity over the years. Our online social media channels that have, for the past three years been deployed to this campaign. We have a formidable team of highly skilled professionals who are relevantly experienced and exposed. I am the Team Leader.  This noble idea is unique and innovative.  It is designed to raise the bar of Public Advocacy/Enlightenment Campaign directed at preventing the growing ones from enrolling in nefarious and reprehensible conducts through a multipronged campaign. FAMILY VALUES plays a huge role in preventing youths from going into social and criminal vices, including corruption in all forms by fostering the values of harmonious coexistence and goodwill through designed communicative strategies.  

We are engaged in promoting women equality in all forms and supporting the female gender to overcome problems put on their paths by socio-cultural and religious issues. We are also encouraging women to participate fully in the electoral process and compete with their male counterparts in leadership and governance in the public and public sectors.

PROMOTING GOOD GOVERNANCE – We provide interactive platforms for sharing opinions, interactions and ideas for the common good. We have published over 600 interesting pieces without compromising ethical standards. Many of our posts continue to be cited in professional journals and similar publications, and are read in research and tertiary institutions, in all parts of the world. 

I served in top political positions for several years. A lot of politicking, accompanied by intrigues and envy go on behind the scene.  I do not also believe in taking hasty decisions, either in writing or orally. I know the importance of being well-guarded in actions and utterances. I have always been conscious of the fact that I could be misquoted or quoted out of context. On one occasion, a senior government functionary sent an information to me requesting that I forwarded a memo to the Protocol Department on the State governor's intended trip abroad. I was directly responsible to the governor and had to go and cross-check. It turned out that the top public officer lied to me. It could have caused a serious embarassment. While in government as a political appointee, I got several tempting offers to pervert the course of justice by compromising. I refused because I was brought up to know that ''A Good Name in better than Gold'' My late father was Deputy-Speaker, Western Region Nigeria House of Assembly. Each time he presided over sitings of the House, he got commendation from Government and Opposition Sides. These conducts guided my steps later in life. 

I INSISTED ON PURSUING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MINING COMPANY FOR THE COMMON GOOD. As a manager of human and material resources, I kept a level head in government.  From 2003-2010, I served as the Chief Private Secretary/Special Adviser on Policies, Programmes & Plans Monitoring to the governor of Osun State. In this capacity, I was Head of the Governor's Secretariat and supervised government's investment promotion. There were competing demands and interests. I championed government's interests in promoting the establishment of a Mining company in order diversify the economy and generate more revenue for government. Some other interests prefered to have capital projects like buildings visible to people.  Twice, the proposal for the establishment of the mining company was withheld by an official who had interest in physical objects cited above. I knew the prospect in establishing a mining company. I led moves to convince the governor to remove the obstacle in public interest and succeeded. I was part of the team that eventually went for a bidding session at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Abuja. Osun State government that I represented emerged the only State that won eleven mining sites. It was adjudged the best achievement of government.

NOT APPLICABLE

We are utilizing ten (10) online social media channels to to implement this laudable agenda. Another reason for its uniqueness is the continuous nature of our advocacy that also features two other activities to wit: Conference of Stateholders & Role Modelling awards.

METHODOLOGY: Our sensitization approach recognizes the fact that it is better to anticipate and nip prospective problems in the bud than to start managing problems. When trouble emerges, it is usually difficult to correct the damage done and this is why an image manager must strive to anticipate trouble, and plan for potentially explosive situations. Therefore, the manager must evolve policies to tackle the unexpected and develop skills to tackle disagreements and other challenges that must necessarily arise. 

FUNDING: We have been wholly responsible for the funding of this campaign as a social responsibility agenda since commencement. We believe this is an act of patriotism. It is also important to state that our activities have been endorsed by the National Orientation Agency, an arm of Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Information & Culture.

STRATEGY/WISDOM: In every situation, choosing the right strategy to solve problems requires wisdom and experience. It is essentially the duty of the media practitioner to evolve policies directed at promoting discourse so that the various peoples of the world could understand better, the products being marketed; as well as each others’ feelings on issues and events; and their likes and dislikes. In this way, we regulate the conduct of the citizenry.  

There is indeed the need for commitments of timely engagements in a quest to find solutions to looming vices and dangers in which youths are involved. Activities comprise three segments: Advocacy campaign, a conference and awards ceremony to promote Role Modelling.We are driving a social change. Reforms are usually not popular. Therefore, we are sending out messages that have the potency of effecting attitudinal changes across the strata of the society. Various discussions are to be featured to increase the understanding of issues pertaining to the topic

The advocacy leg has been running continually for three years. The second phase is a proposed conference aims at examining how to embrace preventive measures, rather than reactive options.  Particular attention will be paid to those exercising parental roles and general upbringing of the child, and the importance of women as pivots of family units. It will be taken as soon as financial support is available.

OUTCOMES: Stakeholders are being made to fully recognize their responsibilities in bringing up children and youths. We are also challenging gender equality, parental and family values,  democratic culture, eradication of poverty, and collaboration for combating security breaches all over the world.,  deepen collective awareness and knowledge of the target audience about  Family Values,  encourage mentoring of the younger generation,  reassure the growing generation that girls and ladies can attain any height possible and possibly excel more than their male counterparts.

GENDER EQUALITY: In the past few decades, conscious attempts have been made globally and through the United Nations to accord women their pride of place. The society is also being encouraged to refrain from discriminating against any child on account of gender. These have come in the form of several Conventions and Regulations to which most nations of the world have subscribed. We are encouraging spouses to be joint partners in managing their businesses, organizing their homes and businesses; while also recognizing male spouses, who have provided the necessary encouragement and enabling environment for their young female children to emerge successful citizens.

WIDE REACH: Our publications are read all over the world, but with emphasis on the Nigerian population. Our target audience has been strategically designed to capture visitors to our site in recognition of our posts that treat contemporary issues, in particular, socio-economic and political development of Nigeria and the Third World. We target all segments of the society through our posts. We utilize LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, four (4) Facebook pages to reach our audience globally. The multiplier effect is tremendous and is not easily gauged. We plan to strategically cover the whole of Africa by 2021 subject to availability of funding support.

ADVANTAGES: Our social media channels are read all over the world because we publish information that attract readers.We are able to disclose that our audience in Nigeria runs into millions of people because of the multiplier effects of our posts/information fed into the communicative channels. Those registered on our channles also have friends and others linked to their social media networks. 

TARGET AUDIENCE

•    The civil society comprising Nigerian citizens, Africans & African Diaspora

•     Political office holders and the bureaucracy

•     The international community and diplomatic community in Nigeria

•      Training and Educational institutions

•      Investors generally (local and foreign) ; Nigerian and African Diaspora

Our BLOG (www.terrificheadlines.com) and Website (www.couplesofvirtuesandvalues.com) have facilities for automatic translation of their contents into the following languages

• English Language; French; Spanish; German, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic; Yoruba, Hausa; and Igbo languages. Several other foreign languages also available

We plan to make tremendous impact and move fully into West African nations forcefully. This plan is reinforced by the fact that anything that happens in Nigeria spreads to the sub-region. Nigeria is the engine of the West African sub-region and is the catalyst of African renaissance. If these other poor countries are neglected, the problem will still remain in Africa because of affinity, trade protocols and immigration policies.  

We welcome as many people as possible to read and be involved in our project by collaboration/sponsorships/partnerships. We are committed to the provision of formidable, excellent, highly competitive,  and functional professional services that include collaborative cooperation.  We use feedback mechanism to regulate our campaigns.

We hope to have REALIZED our agenda of creating interest and raising level of awareness. We continue indefinitely because it takes some time for the target audience to change their attitudes.  Our publications, that are of international standards are always in good faith, and for future generations, in recognition of virtues and values that are worth reading and recording for posterity.  We  sensitize readers on economic and political issues. We also sensitize the citizenry on their rights, privileges and obligations to:

• Promote economic development;
• Influence Good Governance
• Promote economic and general development

 WE ARE GUIDED BY:

• The need to promote socio-economic and political development
• Linkages with the international community
• Our efforts are chiefly directed at influencing the citizenry for improvements and better standards of living and conducts
• Provide a platform of interaction among public and private sector

The major barrier is funding to accomplish our brilliant ideas broken down into three (3)

a. The advcocacy campaign

b. Conferences

c. Role Modelling

d. Funding required to implement the activities stated above.  We have the ENDORSEMENT of an agency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

e. Expansion, recruitment of more professionals as the work expands

f. Funds for research activities and other operational matters.

POVERTY, CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS CONSIDERATIONS 

 A rundown of the campaign indicates that issues being addressed affords the nation the opportunity to primarily repair damages done to societal values and strength of character of the growing ones by moral, criminal and social vices; and also attacking these vices. Evidently, the foregoing indicates that the whole world is in a defining period, and parents given several sordid occurrences, and failure of parents to combat the trend by embracing family values and collaboration of husband and wife to raise their children and wards properly at this period, when modernization has brought along with it the erosion of values, cultures and traditions. Terrorism has crossed international boundaries; necessitating the global community’s strong resolve to adopt precautionary measures to cope with the requirements of the emerging times. Perpetrators of social and criminal vices don't give up easily. It takes continuous campaign over a long period for attitudinal changes to occur. Sometimes, perpetrators of these vices fight back utilizing the social media to indoctrinate their audience.

We are utilizing the following:

i. Grants Applications

ii. Support from public-spirited organizations and individuals

iii. Donations in aid of our agenda.

However, NO financial support has been received.

 We know the importance of reaching the target audience and how people resist reforms.  Therefore, we have designed a programme that continually preaches the agenda until attitudinal changes are effected. And we hope that people who understand the importance of Family Values will rise to support this project. 

Accordingly:

• We identify and promote conscientious commentators, creative counsellors, and sincere intellectual advocates of change.
• We engage in advocacy; both for business and social concerns; including advertising, marketing, public relations, propaganda and political communication.
• We enrich and educate human minds and the society at large, in addition to the traditional role of providing entertainment

WE ARE GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING:

• We entertain only issue-based discussions based on merit, patriotism, fair play and justice
• Our efforts are chiefly directed at influencing the citizenry for improvements and better standards of living and conducts, through sensitization and advocacy activities
• The need to promote public good.

OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES & POLICIES: 

• We convey information to the people to let them know how their mandate is being discharged. 
• We provide a platform for the government and the governed to interact  
• We assist in the articulation and pursuit of the national
• We help strengthen the economic, social and political fabric of the nation.
• We function as an agent of modernization
• We assist in setting the agenda in motion

i. National Orientation Agency of the Federal Ministry of Information & Culture, Nigeria

ii. NEWSPOT Newspaper, Abuja, Nigeria

iii. RAVE FM Radio Station, Osogbo

iv. BEN Television, London, United Kingdom

These media stations will come in at the stage of holding conferences for maximum publicity. They will also report extensively the awards programme that is designed to boost morale through Role Modelling.  For now, we operate independently but we are intensifying efforts to partner with more organizations in all parts of the world.

We are not into this venture solely for profit,  but plan to sustain the project and also meet our financial obligations and commitments.  We anticipate moral and professional support from public and private sector partnerships/advertisements/sponsorships with Return on Investment guaranteed. We are also expecting similar support from international/multilateral organizations whose mandates align with our agenda.  Our revenue projection has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and most of our activities are restricted.   This notwithstanding, we continue to market our activities that are for the common good.  It is very difficult to assume the level of financial support that would come in given the current global economic situation. The general citizenry will be impacted through our ensuring fairness, justice and ethical responsibility. Our services are in the area of policy development and mass media activities to influence attitudinal changes; in different spheres of human activity. 

ADVANTAGES: There is the need for an urgent intervention in family values and virtues, at a time that the whole world faces multi-dimensional challenges, including security breaches, criminal and social vices that are threatening peaceful coexistence and values that are conducive to proper upbringing.  

Our social media channels are read all over the world because we publish information that attract readers.We are able to disclose that our audience in Nigeria runs into millions of people because of the multiplier effects of our posts/information fed into the communicative channels. Those registered on our channels also have friends and others linked to their social media networks.

Our strategy is to finance the project through sustained donations and grants, and support from individuals and corporate organizations. The FAMILY VALUES campaign has been on for about three (3) years and I have been personally responsible for financing the project that is for the common good. The structured campaign sensitizes the populace on preventive actions particularly parents and organizations with parental responsibilities

INTERVENTIONS & COLLABORATION: In order to promote our activities, we source for advertisements and other forms of donations and collaboration with public and private sector organizations. BLOG: www.couplesofvirtuesandvalues.com, and www.terrificheadlines.com, are linked with other channels. Return on Investment is guaranteed by way of massive publicity. We are also expecting similar support from international/multilateral organizations whose mandates align with our agenda of promoting family values and women emancipation. Our revenue drive has been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Organizations that have the capacity to support are themselves incapacitated by the pandemic.  It is very difficult to assume the level of financial support that would come in given the current global economic situation. 

The fact that we run a reputable and credible outfit with good intentions would enable us to be favourably considered for support by public and private sector organizations. Our Blog, website and other social media communication channels are designed to promote the following key issues. 

No solution can be more enduring than home-grown solutions backed by women who are the pivots for family units. 

We have devised means of raising funds through a GATEWAY PAYMENT system provided by WEMA Bank Plc in Abuja, Nigeria. But we recently discovered that there was a technical problem that is making it impossible for full integration to be achieved. Therefore, we have complained to the gateway providers. In the second instance, we have started processing DIRECT INTEGRATION with another bank's payment system in order to boost the confidence of intending donors to utilize the facility electronically.

We have not succeeded in receiving positive interventions for financial assistance or support of any kind aside our media partners that have occasionally promoted our activities and are not committed financially. We hope to be able to secure more support beyond media partnerships within the next few months. We are aware of the global economic situation. However, we are positive that supporters/sponsors will be able to gauge the importance of our activity under reference and embrace our programmes.

 PROJECTED REVENUE SOURCES We anticipate moral and professional support from public and private sector partnerships/advertisements/sponsorships with Return on Investment guaranteed in the form of massive publicity for organizations with similar objectives. We are also expecting similar support from international/multilateral organizations whose mandates align with our agenda of promoting family values and women emancipation. Our revenue drive has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and most of our activities are restricted as we cannot go out to market the programmes for effective support. Organizations that have the capacity to support are themselves incapacitated by the pandemic.

We are interested in local and foreign GRANTS & support by philanthropists, public-spirited interventions, and CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FUNDING.   We are running this campaign in three phases. The first phase is sensitization/awareness creation for change of attitudes. This is continuous and has to be sustained.  Particular attention is being paid to discussion of issues that pertain to exercising parental roles and general upbringing of the child, in consideration of the fact that it is possible for children that lack adequate parental care to be negatively influenced.  Phase Two is designed as a conference of Stakeholders to rub minds and evolve workable solutions to challenges of parenting, ensure that children are properly brought up to avoid their being radicalized through falling into wrong peer groups.

Phase Three is about ROLE MODELLING and has actually started with reports and stories directed at promoting feelings of empathy. The following areas apply:                                                              

• Sponsorships
• Support
• Advertisements
• Donations

For the two years stipulated in the publication that calls for Expression of interests, we require US$ 500,000.00. This covers cost of publication on our ten online channels, a Conference of Stakeholders in parenting, the Role Modelling/Awards event to create the feelings of empathy, and also commend spouses who have

PHASE ONE IS ONGOING and involves sensitization and public enlightenment activities premised on preventive and reactive strategies to attack problems associated with family units but with far greater emphasis on reactive options. This activity includes expansion into other West-African countries; followed by Africa. The multi-pronged social media campaign aims at effecting attitudinal changes across all strata of the society,The project is sub-divided into three (3) phases: Preventive strategies focus on parenting initiatives that address wider causal factors such as social and economic inequality, social and cultural norms, and access to the media, guns, alcohol, illicit drugs, communication gadgets and other issues that promote delinquency. In all forms, we preach adequate parental support and collaboration by stakeholders. Budget for this segment INCLUDING capital expenses -- $100,000 per annum

Conference Theme: BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR PEACE, STABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT --Venue:  ABUJA, NIGERIA; NO OF PARTICIPANTS EXPECTED – 500 PEOPLE. Costs   - Venue, hotel accommodation, honoraria to resource persons, feeding/entertainment/protocols, transportation  etc      $50,000                    PHASE THREE – ROLE MODELLING -- Awards/Recognitions Ceremony – (Annual Event – the maiden edition is to recognize a total of 50 role model couples/parents whose conducts are adjudged exemplary) This phase has actually commenced with publication of stories that promote empathy. Our mandate places very high premium on ROLE MODELLING to create feelings of empathy. Expenses anticipated include live-streaming of event,  venue - hotel setting, entertainment, decorations, artiste fees, honoraria to the Jury, Award plaques   for Role Models honoured, brochures, printing of events programmes, & materials etc   -$60,000                                           -                                                                                                                                                  

Objectives of the  Elevate Prize are in tandem with the FAMILY VALUES agenda that we are prosecuting. Our social development campaign tagged: FAMILY VIRTUES & VALUES is designed to promote family values and virtues through a unique and innovative activity, utilizing a multi-pronged media activity. The campaign attacks frontally, the scourge of poverty, social and criminal vices in the society, and also supports initiatives and blueprint on practical ways of empowerment. Proactive steps are directed at ensuring that parents and other key stakeholders contain ugly occurrences and bring their young ones up properly. The society itself will benefit tremendously from this activity because of its potential to foster peace and understanding. 

 The campaign includes tackling insecurity, utilizing family units for development and utilizing women who are pivots of family units for development.  We reach our audience in the key Nigerian languages of Yoruba, Hausa & Igbo languages, in addition to several foreign languages. And we are read globally. The campaign runs continually and is in place permanently. The campaign serves as a source of encouragement for younger couples, family units and the larger society to mobilize their families for cooperation for development; and enables spouses to further encourage themselves to work towards increased mutual respect and cooperation. The campaign promotes parental care, unity of spouses, gender sensitivity, and role modelling.

Our intention is to have your organization support this innovative and unique concept. We are advantageously positioned to collaborate with your organization for the common good of humanity.  

THE FAMILY is part of the important goals in the SDGs ending Year 2030.  

We have been solely responsible for the implementation of these noble ideas that also benefit the whole world because if developing nations are not at peace, the rest of the world cannot be peaceful at this period in history when the whole world is borderless. Special and warranted efforts are necessary to promote the interests of women and we are implementing this policy. This proposal is an aspect of our campaign for moral regeneration. It is also part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals & African Union 2063 AGENDA as UNESCO’S AGENDA designating Years 2015-2024 as UN Decade of People of African Descent. The project is designed as a Strategic Plan and there is need for an urgent intervention is shaping the future of young ones; and even the larger society.

International Donor organizations like The British Council/DFID.  This  organization sponsored a report on the plight of women in Nigeria. The 2010 Report sponsored by the United Kingdom government identified Nigeria women as the nation's  ''hidden resources''  given their contributions to socio-economic development. We have written to the organization for collaboration/sponsorship. No reply has come.

United Nations: This proposal is an aspect of our campaign for moral regeneration. It is also part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals & African Union 2063 AGENDA as UNESCO’S AGENDA designating Years 2015-2024 as UN Decade of People of African Descent. The project that is designed as a Strategic Plan is a rescue mission to transform and save our young ones from the influence of immorality and vices that used to be alien to our culture. The need for an urgent intervention is important in view of the fact that when a bad practice is continued over a period of time, it becomes the norm; hence the need for proactive measures to shape the conducts of the young ones in their formative years through adolescence. 

FORD FOUNDATION: We are contacting the FORD FOUNDATION given its commitment to challenging inequality globally.  There is hardly any observer who is not worried about the social environment.  People and organizations that have responsibilities for exercising parental functions will be sensitized through partnerships.   We will partner with well-meaning organizations,  particularly regional and multilateral organization given the importance of the project to human survival, peace and progress.
