Meet The Coordinator- HOPE FOUNDATION NIGERIA.

By -

Moshood Muhammed is the Coordinator of Hope Foundation Nigeria, an initiative that believes in the Nigerian Youths by promoting and empowering them. He is from Ogun State, Nigeria and is passionate about setting things right in the country, which is why he believes the youths of Nigeria have a major role to play. He runs a personal blog where he sensitizes the youths through powerful and thoughtful articles. As the head of Hope Foundation team, he hopes to see a better Nigeria.

 The interview
  • How did you begin the Hope Foundation?
Overtime, I’ve always thought of how best to reach out to the youths; serve the interest of my people, even while I was still in school. Many challenges, products of the inadequacies in the Nigerian system made it impossible. After I had left school, I was not interested in backing out. Before I left school, I had been working on it. Then, the idea occurred to me on my last birthday, to channel my strength and passion towards this direction and here we are. This gave birth to Hope Foundation.

  • What was your inspiration?
My passion to bring about the much needed change in the world and in my country Nigeria, particularly as it concerns the youths.

  • What are you set to achieve with this initiative?
We desire to raise generational leaders through orientation and re-orientation of the Nigerian youths by re-awakening the spirit of academic excellence, raise more patriotic and informed citizens, social and economic empowerment among others. It is an ongoing and possibly life-long adventure.

  • What are the major challenges you face in the cause of your project?
Well So far, lack of cooperation from stakeholders and financial deficit.

  • Who is/ are your role model/s?
Smiles...None! But I have quite a number of people that I admire a lot.

  • What advice do you have for Nigerian Youths?
Uhm...Like I have said earlier, we just have to step up our games and be ready to serve this country as alternative to the present leadership quagmire bedevilling the country. To do this, we must be ready to stand right, think right and do the right things at every point in time.
Thank you.

The Boy Who Was Not

Deola insists that the market route is faster. You hesitate, because you hate its rowdiness and— "...and those silly boys that will be holding your hands and clothes because they want you to buy from them,” after saying this, you deliberately cringe in an effort to convince your friend to change her mind. "Calm down, jare," laughs Deola, packing her oversized notes into her tiny red bag. "See, we can stop by that my customer's place for fried yam. You know she will reduce the price for us." You don't have to see her eyes to confirm there is a mischievous twinkle in them. Deola is cunning. She knows the perfect bait to draw you in. And yes, you would shamelessly capitulate to fried yam. No one knows where your enthrallment to it began, but Deola is sure it is a curse. History has it that, at 3 years old, you found your way to your mother's kitchen, and somehow toppled over a small pan of hot oil, the reason for the scar on your lef

When STAYING TOGETHER Matters: How To Make It Work.

Picture two little rowing boats setting off across a choppy lake. A man sits in one, and a woman in the other. They have every intention of rowing side by side, yet they begin drifting in opposite directions until they can hardly hear each other above the wind. Soon the man finds himself at one end of the lake and the woman at the other. Neither knows how they drifted apart, or how to reconnect. Now picture two newlyweds. They stand at the altar and pledge to live together in love and harmony. Unfortunately, 50 percent of the time it doesn't work that way. Unless their relationship is maintained and cultivated, they will grow distant. That is why two romantic little rowboats often drift toward opposite ends of the lake. So how can husbands and wives stay in love, and stay together for a lifetime? The answer is to row like crazy! Take time for romantic activities. Think about each other through the day. Avoid that which breeds conflict and resentment. Be aware of each other&#

The Shadow Encounter

Written by Peace Eneja It was cold that night. The harmattan had gotten intense. If I wasn't in Nigeria, I would be expecting a snow fall. My ribs shaking ,the same movement as my lips. I was shivering at a corner, praying that I lay my hand on something, anything at all that I could use to keep myself warm. I was alone in the dark, in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't even tell what I was doing there. Then suddenly I saw a tree moving closer like a masquerade towards me.  Oh! That's funny, because trees don't have legs, so why would they move...sorry walk?  For a moment, I thought it wasn't real, it shouldn't be. Then I closed my eyes so tight, hoping that it was just a dream, that it'll soon go away. Then I opened them again, it was still there, as real as day light, right in front of me. Then I started to run as fast as I could, throwing my legs away...sorry my shoes. But it was still chasing me, right here and there. I couldn't outrun it. &q
