STRAIGHT FROM THE INK OF A POET IV.- MUBARAK OLADOSU

DATES WITH FATES 

From the hands of fates,

Gifts I hate.

With torrents of tears

That won’t abate,

I hastened to dream.    

It’s time to be late:   

I gazed at the skies

Wondering where lies the gate. 

Now my tongue

Touches new taste

And I witness my testament.

Living fresh a date.

A PRESS RELEASE FROM BRAIN BUILDERS INTERNATIONAL.

BRAIN BUILDERS INTERNATIONAL FELICITATES WITH CHRISTIAN FAITHFULS, CHARGES YOUTH TO BE HARDWORKING.

The Christmas season is a time to reflect on the activities of the preceding months. It is a season of accountability and rest. We at Brain Builders International see this period as a time to reflect on our activities throughout the year, appreciate the people who have supported us, forge new alliances and plan for the upcoming year.

2015 was epoch making for us at Brain Builders International, we built on past successes and emerged strong and relevant in Nigeria and beyond.

We had series of trainings for teenagers and students in higher institutions in Osun and Kwara States. Teenagers from all walks of life benefited from our events for free. We donated items to motherless babies homes and carried out several community service projects. We joined the world in the campaign against Global warming and the Millennium Development Goals advocacy. We also organised essay and oratory competitions for students to encourage them in their pursuit of excellence. We also established new relationships with individuals, Non Governmental Organisations, Corporations, Academic Institutions and Government Agencies. These alliances we formed in other to fulfill our mission statement which reads "Delivering effective, efficient and incredible services towards the cause of Nigerian Youths and students with utmost level of professionalism, intelligence, integrity and innovative personnel"

Having  recognised the role of the new media in globalisation, we made sure all our activities in 2015 were documented online. We also engaged people from all over the globe in discussions pertaining to global events. For the first time since inception, we made sure all our activities are documented in a compendium which is available upon request.
Beyond building lives corporately, we also made sure our members benefited from our work. Members and partners had the opportunity of mentoring teenagers and University students, carry out community service projects and also had the opportunity of representing the organisation at conferences, symposia and round table discussions.

We hereby charge Nigerian youths to see themselves as the future of Nigeria and believe that the future is bright. We also charge them to be hardworking and see the dignity in labour.

We believe strongly that the abducted Chibok girls will be found and a lasting solution will be found to  insurgency  and then insecurity. We believe that with concerted and collective effort, we will win this war like we won the war against Ebola. We also charge the government to see to a reduction in the pump price of petrol as it is a major driver of our macroeconomy.

Also, we use this opportunity to appreciate our partners and sponsors over the years, we hope to keep the flag flying in the coming years. To the Christian faithfuls, we hope you have a wonderful celebration and may the reason for the season be established in your lives.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays.

Prayer for my pen 

 Dear pen,

I heard you shriek aloud in pain

Please don’t despair;

Don’t go dry             

And do not cry

Please note 

That it’s not the fault of the ground

That the grass is dry:

Very soon, we shall swim together

When comes the rainy season;

In my pool of words,     

We shall be drenched in success

When the hosts of heaven 

Rain down inspiration

For our grins to green again.
