The civil society organization appreciated emergency responders and health institutions for their prompt response to the accident and victims which contributed in no small measure to mitigating the casualty figures.
The group also lauded Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his humane disposition and exemplary leadership in cancelling his official engagements for the day and visiting the victims in the hospitals to comfort them and their families, in addition to Mr. Governor cancelling all his political campaigns and public outings for 3 days in honour of the victims of the avoidable accident.
CSER then called on the management of Nigeria Railways Corporation (NRC), to ensure that it erects barricades at every railway crossing intersections so as to stop the movement of vehicles and persons when the train is approaching and prevent a reoccurrence of this type of tragic accident anywhere in the country.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
E-signed

Nelson Ekujumi,

The Power of Building Resilience” By Prudent Ludidi

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Life is unpredictable. It’s full of twists and turns. Some days are easy others are hard.

But no matter what life throws at you, you have a choice, you can let challenges break you, or you can build resilience.

Resilience is the strength to withstand, to bounce back, to adapt, to overcome, it’s the power to face adversity head-on, to transform obstacles into opportunities, to turn setbacks into stepping stones!

Building resilience is not about being invincible. It’s about being human, it’s about acknowledging your vulnerabilities and working on them.

Resilience is built in both small and big moments of the everyday choices we make!

To get up when you’re tired, keep going when you’re struggling, to push through when you’re doubting. It’s built in the habits you form.

It’s important to understand that resilience is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving, growing, becoming stronger, more confident and more compassionate.

When you build resilience, you open yourself up to possibilities, you take risks, you innovate, you create and inspire.

So, how do you build resilience?
You start small.
You take care of yourself.
You practice self-compassion.
You seek support.
You focus on the present.
And you keep moving forward.
One step at a time.
Resilience is not a destination it’s a journey!

Because when you build resilience, you unlock your true potential to withstand unplanned inconveniences in your life.

You become unstoppable.
You achieve greatness.
You inspire others.

And you create a ripple effect of resilience that touches everyone around you.
Remember, resilience is not something you have or you don’t.

It’s something you build, day by day, moment by moment, choice by choice.
So, choose to build resilience, face your fears, push through challenges, choose to rise above obstacles, choose to become the best version of yourself!

You’re capable of thrive and succeed!

The street which used to be ‘Area One’ where the prophet’s church in Ekiti is located has now been registered as Ayomate Avenue.

According to reports, the renaming took the combined efforts of the Ogoga of Ikere-Ekiti, Oba Samuel Alagbado, his chiefs, the local government chairmen, and ultimately, the governor of Ekiti state, Biodun Oyebanji.

According to the governor, the street was named in recognition of the good works done by the late father of Primate Ayodele and the continuation of the good works by the prophet. He also recognized the efforts of the prophet to drive economic growth in the community.

Primate Ayodele embraced the development while expressing appreciation to the governor for honouring God in such a manner. The prophet applauded the governor for his efforts towards bringing development to Ikere-Ekiti and promised that the presence of his church will in turn lead to more economic development in the local government.

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele promised that he would begin by sinking boreholes across the local government to support the government in solving the water crisis.

‘’I appreciate the governor for the magnanimous development of naming this vicinity after our church, it’s indeed marvellous in God’s sight. This is a testament to his love for God and the people of Ekiti state.”

“I also want to appreciate him for the development he started in Ikere-Ekiti local government, the people are happy with him and above all, God is happy with him for all he is doing”

“I want to promise His Excellency that our presence here will bring a new dawn to this vicinity, we will also assist the government. We will be sinking boreholes across the local government to solve the water crisis.’’

History has it that Primate Ayodele’s father was one of the most respected individuals in Ikere-Ekiti who brought good tidings to the community and provided succour for individuals who needed help.

Consequently, Primate Ayodele has been engaging in humanitarian activities on a large scale across the country. Since he opened a branch in Ikere-Ekiti, Primate Ayodele has organized charitable programmes thrice which involved selling a bag of rice for N20,000, scholarships for youths, empowerment for widows, to mention but a few.
