We celebrate Men who Fathers both their Biological and Nonbiological Children. Men who are Kings 👑 in their Home but a common man at their respective workplace just to put food on their families table.

This time last year our Children could not mix with their friends in Schools and in social gatherings too, because of the Global Pandemic which brought most activities to halt.
The effect of Covid-19 on our children is enormous. It impacted their health, nutrition, education, protection, learning, family finances and wellbeing.
Globally, more than 8 in 10 children felt they were learning little or nothing at all, and two thirds of parents and caregivers reported their child had received no contact from teachers since their schools closed.

This year the world is "Uniting to reverse the impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Children". The theme highlights the principle of the convention on the Rights of the Child that all children irrespective of their status and situation should enjoy their rights to Survival and Development as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Child Rights Act (CRA) 2003.

Children also plays major in role in national development irrespective of their status, location, ability and disability.

Happy Children's Day.

A worker is a creator and a great asset to every nation.

We celebrate people of dignity who despite all odds strive to create systems and build more opportunities in our Country.

Happy International Workers’ Day.

The theme for International Women's Day 2021 is, “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world on the way to the Generation Equality Forum”.

International Women's Day is a time to reflect on the progress that has been achieved, to advocate for reform and to honour the acts of bravery and persistence of women who have played an exceptional role in the history of their countries and societies.

Let’s make 2021 count for women and girls everywhere.

We visited Eletu-Odibo Senior Secondary School, Yaba to support the academic dreams of these young scholars.

Young persons are destined to become great but limited opportunities changes the game plan.

At YBII, we decided to sponsor the UTME fees of 20 students. To give each student the chance to achieve their dreams as payment for this examination is a stepping stone for them.

It's our dream to keep inspiring the younger generation to achieve set goals and utilize their potentials.

While in office, one of our family’s traditions was visiting a couple of nearby small businesses for Small Business Saturday—and we’d always make a stop at a bookstore to find some books to read for the holidays. Although everyone’s traditions might look different this year, we can still find ways to support these terrific small businesses. So I hope you’ll take a minute to order a book online from an independent bookstore near you.

Be a Kayode!

Though your beginning might be small and humble; but never stop striving to reach the top
Though others looked down on you; never stop looking up
Though you did not get it right at the first attempt; never stop doing it
Though others might be faking it; just ensure you keep it real
Though others are jumping from one lane to the other; know what works for you and just stick to it
Though the reward for your hard work seems not to be forthcoming; patiently wait for it while you continue the good work
Though others do it for show; do it for humanity
Though others develop big ego; develop the heart of humility
Though others complain about the problem; just go ahead and be a changemaker.

In summary, Be a Kayode!

Happy Birthday Kayode Alabi

Three things that has been on my mind lately.

They are:
The Need to Put God first! Without God man is nothing because it is only in Him that we move and have our being.

Secondly: Be Prepared! As young people, we need to be ready for the opportunities that we seek through conscious and consistent preparation.

And Lastly: Show Up! When the opportunity that we seek comes calling, we must show up and be sure to deliver according to the specification of our value proposition.

Wishing us all a great and glorious 2020.

Cheers.
