The KIDS/TEENS SPLASH was a huge success from the reactions of the children. You could see they were excited, and these activities gave them self-confidence and development from a different perspective. They also had the opportunity to network among themselves.
The higher point of the show was during the sports and fashion show, which was new to the children as they weren’t expecting the pattern which was used.

Very few people experience the fulfilment of theit childhood dreams but Delight Benson is actually living those dreams and fulfilling even much more.
Passing to her compatriots back home in Nigeria, she stated that the
message is for Nigerians, actually, and not the government because the system of government in Nigeria was never structured to help the citizens from the inception of the governmental structure. “Whatever is happening now is a transiting plan of the first intended decisions of those who called themselves the elite even when some of them are no more in the earth”. My message to my fellow Nigerians is that Nigeria is in the map and blueprint of the God of creation, and the true revolution that will bring freedom and restore her again is coming. Patients and living upright is all we need. Let the citizens refuse to be evil amongst themselves because that’s actually what the enemy is using as a weapon against them, she concluded.
