Coca-Cola Elevates Grassroots Football in Four Lagos Communities

As part of its contribution to the growth of grassroots sport, Coca-Cola Nigeria through COPA Coca-Cola initiative has presented football training kits to four communities within Lagos State. They are Agege, Jakande Estate, Oworonsoki and Elegbata communities.

Speaking at the presentation ceremony, which held recently at the Jakande Estate Pitch, Jakande Estate, Isolo, Marketing Director, Coca-Cola Nigeria, Patricia Jemibewon said, “Nigeria’s passion for football is unrivalled anywhere else on the continent. Coca-Cola’s involvement in Nigerian football through COPA signifies a perfect harmony between platform and potentials. Through COPA Coca-Cola, young lovers of the game are inspired to live their dreams, while we at Coca-Cola help to create a new face for the sport in different communities.”

She noted that COPA this year is divided into two phases namely; Everyday Football and the Tournament itself. “Through Everyday Football, Coca-Cola will elevate the everyday football experience of young Nigerians by providing 10 selected playing fields in major cities across the country with basic equipment and kits including goal nets, training bibs, cones and footballs. Community women in each of the communities will also be empowered with a kiosk and drinks to start their own retail business in the playing field.

Today, we are donating to Amoo Training Pitch in Agege, Jakande Estate Pitch in Isolo, Owonroshoki Playing Field and Orile/Sari Iganmu Sports Centre, Elegbata Playground. COPA Coca-Cola will also deliver what we have tagged a ‘Legacy Pitch’ to a community that will be transparently picked from a selection pool. What this means is that we will upgrade the key Football arena in the selected community into a mini- stadium,” she stated.

While appreciating Coca-Cola’s donations, the Zonal Chairman of Jakande Estate, Joseph Olaiya, remarked that the items would go a long way in boosting football talents in the community. In his words, “Coca-Cola is an exemplary corporate citizen that gives back to the communities where it operates. We will ensure that the materials are deployed to serve the purpose for which they have been provided.”

Also speaking at the event, Community Affairs Manager, Coca-Cola Nigeria, Emeka Mba, re-emphasised that Coca-Cola is committed to building partnerships that promote growth and development. “Beyond the funds we provide for initiatives such as this, there is the social equity which we bring to the table. Our employees are always ready to volunteer and serve in our communities,” he said.

Child’s Rights Must Be Domesticated By All States – Onwenu

Onyeka Onwenu is the Director General of the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD). In this brief encounter with select journalists at the Summit on Girl Child held in Abuja, the entertainer-turned politician stated that IDPs should be returned home as quickly as possible. Speaking on the domestication of Child’s Rights Act, she stated that it is vital that we protect our children. RUTH CHOJI was there.

What is the pre-summit on girl child all about?
It is about the girl child, women and it was part of activities to mark the Day of the Girl Child. I think it will be improper for adults to sit and talk about issues of the girl child without finding out what her life is like. We all might have been there before because all women were once girls but with the new issues they are dealing with, we need to know what it is like. You will be surprised at what we will get from the girls themselves.

They speak their minds, they tell you about issues in their schools like not having many female teachers; not having toilet facilities that are decent. It is only a female teacher that you can walk up to and tell her what is happening to you. If, for example, you are being molested, you will be more comfortable talking to a female teacher. Then lack of walls guarding their schools, having a form of security to protect them. If you cast your mind back to what happened in Chibok, the school had no protective walls, they had no electricity on the night they were kidnapped, there was no head mistress and the principal was not around. The students were left to their own devices, unprotected. If we want to coup this violence, we must ensure that our schools have a certain level of protection for the students.

Most of the solutions proffered at the end of such summits are hardly adopted by government and policy makers. What will make this one different?

We want to totally avoid such a situation because it will be tantamount to a waste of time or talking to ourselves. But we are very happy to report that this administration is in support of what we are doing. We will also be launching a magazine called Empowered Women. Some of these issues will receive in-depth attention, the way and manner that it will become a library that you can refer to. A case in point is the programme run by an NGO for school feeding with an exemplary programme in Enugu such that the villagers, parents and families of the student contribute. It is the mothers that take turns to cook this nutritious meal for the children. And from the study that was done, you could see the incredible improvement in their level of studies and health, the programme is using the same opportunity to teach them about hygiene and how to take care of themselves.
It is also teaching the mothers on how to give their families the food that is hygienic. A communique is going to come out at the end of the summit which will be presented to the government through our mother ministry, Women Affairs. Mr President and his wife know about this and all state governments are going to get copies and we will follow through. They are also getting last year’s communiqué as well as this one. This time around, we won’t just talk to the girls but some boys as well. We want to carry them along because at this stage their minds can be positively influenced to think and consider other people as their equals.

You have interacted with the girls in school, how about those on the streets and those out of schools?

We can only reach them through advocacy with state and local governments, communities and opinion leaders who will take this down. We cannot on our own be the policing agents, we can only advocate.
Most states have not domesticated the Child’s Rights act. What is the Centre doing about this?
If we care about the children, then this act must be domesticated by all the states. One of the things we complain about is that we don’t have enough women in the senate; this is their duty to really advocate for this and make sure that government agrees with this act. But it is not happening as quickly as we want it to. It makes sense that we protect our children.

Coming back to the ministerial list, women have come out to criticise the list that women are not many. What is your take on this?

We are saying to Mr President that Nigerian women are looking up to him. He made certain promises to Nigerian women and we know that he loves Nigerian women and will want to see them make their contribution to the growth and development of this country.
Women are available; they are endowed with whatever it takes. Women are making changes in private and public life every day. He has such a list of women to pick form. But if the ministerial list is gone, there are other areas women can contribute to. We have something to bring to the table.
You recently visited some of the IDPs camp; what were some of the things you saw there?
It is not an ideal place, it is a half way place, and better than being out in the open without a roof over your head or being in the bush. But it is not their home. I don’t want us to get too comfortable with the idea of being there. We think there should be a two- prong approach to dealing with their issue, give them immediate relief but prepare them to return to their homes and that should be the ultimate. That should happen as quickly as possible by God’s grace.
It can be demoralising but what we found was hope among the IDPs. They know that this country cares for them, that everybody is talking about them and people are mobilising for them. It was personal for me because I have been there. I was an IDP; I know what it is like to be homeless overnight having so many family members killed overnight. So it stirs up something in me and I said, what can we do to help? If everybody gets involved, we will solve the problems, it is not a big problem.

Aside showbiz, what else are you passionate about?

About life, and I believe that everybody is born with a purpose. Nobody was sent here to come and live in poverty and not fulfill their purpose. I want every Nigerian woman to actualise her dreams no matter what her talent is. You could be a street sweeper and be the talk of town. There is a female traffic warden I see some evenings; I love the way she does her job. I park my car to admire her. What she does is conduct traffic, yet she sees that as her ministry. If you are driving in your car and even if you are in a bad mood, when you see her, you will smile when you see her. Whatever you put your hand to do put your best into it and let somebody learn from it.

Most Disrespected But Lucrative Businesses in Ghana

be able to be involved in them. But it’s very unfortunate that some of the people who are casting pitiable looks on these people are no better financially in their so-called white-collar and prestigious jobs. Ironically, they even afford very enviable standard of living without people knowing it. Here are some of the most Disrespected Jobs you never know how well they pay in Ghana.

1. SACHET WATER BUSINESS
The sachet water business popularly known as the pure water business is one lucrative business venture many young graduates will never want to venture in because they feel it does not show prestige to be involved in them. But surprisingly, those operating it are making so much money far more than what a white-collar job will offer.
Some white-collar jobs may mark an employee ¢20 a day and that will be ¢600 a month, but someone selling sachet water and doing it well could make 3 times the amount depending on the location. You know the cost of a bag of sachet water when purchased from the company; You equally know the selling price per sachet, so check it out yourself! Besides, everyone does have to drink water right?

2. CASH CROP FARMING
It is almost a general belief, especially for young graduates, that farming is meant for the crude and unlearned village people, but on many occasions, farmers are richer than most of the bank managers we see walking around. Farming is a very lucrative business but Ghanaians feel it doesn’t have any prestige and many young do not even give it a thought. If you are still in doubt, try finding out why the Agricultural Development Bank is one of the richest banks in Ghana.

3. MANAGING KVIP
It may really sound ridiculous to tell someone who values prestige to consider going into KVIP management. Though it may sound so nice when abbreviated, KVIP simply means, Kumasi Ventilated Improved Pit. But the truth is, if you’re able to build one KVIP in a heavily populated area, you have made a fortune. It’s a gold and oil mine put together. With the invention for Bio-gas, there’s a good future for this business. If only some of our unemployed graduates would give this a try instead of roaming the streets searching for white-collar jobs, life will be very much better for them than they ever imagined.

4. CATERING
As a result of the increased weddings, funerals and parties going on everyday around the country, caterers are presently among the people with the highest number of callers. One thing about catering is that the returns you get depends on how you handle the business. It pays most if you own the business yourself. It also requires you to be hardworking as there are many competitors in the business.
Many do not value this business here in Ghana but if you happen to gain popularity in the business, you will be counted among the rich! Have you ever wondered why there is always a crowd at fast food outlets like Mr Biggs and Frankies? Well you have your answer.

5. CATTLE REARING
No matter how funny and degrading it may sound, the bitter truth is that cattle rearing is a very lucrative business in Ghana. Don’t allow yourself to be demoralized by the shabby dressing of people who are involved in it or even the fact that animals can be very messy.
One calve costs about ¢600, two will cost about ¢1,200.00. If you get a male and female, you’re already into business. It’s a long-term investment which fetches a lot later in life, because one full-grown cow or bull can be sold between ¢3,000 to ¢6,000 depending on the size of the animal. Cows also breed fast and within some days can rake in a lot of money. I bet when the money starts rolling in, you wont remember all the poop you had to pack with your bare hands.

6. MECHANIC
This job ranges from motor-vehicle repairs to fixing other types of engines, generators etc. No matter the one you specialize in, you are sure to make it because it is one business where you have a lot of callers on a daily basis as people who own cars cannot do without taking them for repairs or daily check ups, and lets face it, almost everyone has a car now. Though this profession is disrespected in Ghana, it give hundreds of cedis on a daily basis.
No bank manager can really compare himself to a successful mechanic. Repairing your car is a necessity the moment you get to own one. Though they may look like mad people because of the nature of their job but you can agree with me that they will not look that way once they begin to expand. The most amazing thing about this business is that you don’t have to use the gain to purchase more raw materials because all the raw materials you need are in you head and your hands.

7. COMMERCIAL DRIVING
If only drivers would learn to save, then the world will get to realize just how lucrative commercial driving is in Ghana.Who really respects a tro tro driver? But many of the people who made it started with just one car and today, most of they have fleets of commercial vehicles and have actually become millionaires even though they don’t look like it. Even drivers of big trucks make a lot of money too.

8. COCONUT SALES
When ever you meet a coconut seller, never underestimate their job or look down upon them, they could be far richer than you are. It is one of the most lucrative business out there and many of us don’t respect the job but it pays. Some of them invest the proceeds into some other businesses which they run alongside coconut selling. They may not look like Millionaires to you but they are living fine and might end up better than some people who are waiting for government pensions.

9. MARKET (WOMEN) TRADERS
All these women you see in the market selling food stuffs are well loaded but will never openly admit to it. Some of them are single mothers or widows who have been able to pay their children’s fees till their university level from what they get in petty market trading. Some own houses and cars but appear simple and wretched. Don’t be fooled by their appearance they are much richer than you actually think.
So you see, you don’t have to disrespect that job because they are very much better than so pensioners who have nothing to show for their long years of service.

10. TRUCK PUSHING AND KAKAYO
You must agree with me that this job is the most disrespected in this list. Some people go down the way cursing them, especially when they obstruct the road while struggling with heavy loads. Nobody wants to be called a truck pusher, never! But the fact is that these people we look down on in the society are real big men. In fact they make 3 times more than fuel attendants. In a day, they can make about ¢80-200 on average, depending on business.
The only problem with them is that, due to how tedious the job is, they usually use a greater part of the money on food and drugs, but it largely depends on how the person goes about the business. The prudent ones among them who accepted their present conditions happily tend to spend less and are always able to save enough to enable them move into other business ventures. After all, a truck pusher was once spotted while answering a call amidst his job. Your ribs will crack at his very humorous response to the caller who is supposedly his girlfriend – “Baby, please call me back, I’m driving.”Lol!

PDP denies spending N8.7b for presidential campaign

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected reports that it spent about N8.7 billion for the 2015 presidential election campaigns.
It alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) might have made inputs into the report and challenged Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), the authors, to show proof that it was authentic and reliable.

In another development, PDP’s Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, said the party was taking steps measures to stop wealthy persons from hijacking the party as the leadership was desirous to return the party to the ordinary people.

CSJ had in Abuja on Tuesday, said that its research into party finances and expenses particularly for the 2015 presidential election campaigns showed that the PDP and the APC jointly spent about N11.6 billion in the exercise.
It said while the PDP spent N8.7 billion or 82 per cent of the total amount, the APC spent N2.9 billion representing 20 per cent of the total amount at the campaigns.

Responding to inquiries from The Guardian, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh said: “The figure is very subjective because the authors could not show how they arrived at what they published. And I do not know how they arrived at the figure unless they got it from the APC. The authors of the figure should show proof that it is genuine.”

“Furthermore, as the spokesman of the PDP, I cannot talk on the presidential campaign funds because I was not directly involved in the management of campaigns funds at that time.”

Teacher quality, employer relations key to preparing students for workplace, says survey

Members of the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), a global initiative driving innovation and collaboration in education, have called for more collaboration between schools and the world of work for education systems across the world to improve in their task of preparing students for the workforce.

In a survey conducted by Gallup on the effectiveness of education systems around the world, members of the WISE community, while identifying gaps in how education systems are preparing students for work, also called for more emphasis on teacher quality.

The result of the survey, conducted ahead of this year’s summit, was released as the three-day event kicked off on Tuesday, November 3 in Doha, Qatar.

The 2015 WISE Education Survey, with the theme, “Connecting Education to the Real World,” is based on responses of members of the WISE global community from 149 countries. Respondents included teachers, students, recent graduates, education policy makers, and members of the private sector who are connected with WISE on education reform issues.

According to the survey, respondents were largely critical of the job education systems are doing, including the key task of preparing students for the workforce.

“Three-quarters of the diverse WISE community surveyed are dissatisfied with the overall education system in their countries. Only 34 per cent of respondents believe his or her country’s education system has improved in the past decade while 29 per cent say it has worsened,” the report stated.

The lack of integration with employers was identified as a key challenge in post-secondary education with less than half of those surveyed saying that the system is preparing university students for success in work.

In the same vein, lack of work or internship opportunities that prepare students for jobs was highlighted as a top challenge in post-secondary education by the majority of the respondents.
They expressed the belief that the best way to achieve better work readiness is through more collaboration between schools and employers, giving students ample opportunity to exercise the skills they learn in real-world classrooms.
Having also identified the quality of teachers at both primary and secondary levels as being below acceptable standard, a large majority of respondents recommended that the teaching profession is improved and strengthened.

Specifically, about 59 per cent of the respondents said that teachers were not being treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.They also suggested the need to harness technology to supplement and support high-quality teachers.

Meanwhile, in addressing teacher quality, 78 per cent of WISE experts expressed the opinion that school systems in their countries would be better off if more funds were allocated to recruiting and retraining high quality teachers than on improving technology in schools.
However, this is not an indication that the respondents don’t value technology, as almost all the respondents yet agreed that technology-based solutions can improve education in disadvantaged areas.
