There are two types of people in the society I say. Those who just complain/whine and do absolutely nothing and the other group identify a 'NEED' and instantly they think, how can I help remedy the situation. And today I celebrate one of those people.... Queen Gideon. I have known her for over 20years, but its not the years that count, but her personality makes the difference. She has been an inspiration to me and a great contributor to this blog. She constantly supports, polishes my ideas, encourages, brings about diversity, she buzzes with so much ideas. I always joke with her and ask "why did you really study engineering, you should have read something else".Her dream and passion to make her country a better place and uphold the values, culture and beauty which make it unique and is most times hidden from the public site has birthed this book....
Nigeria, the largest country in Africa is made up of a variety of cultures, traditions and ethnicity. The three major tribes however are: IGBO, HAUSA & YORUBA. These three tribes occupy three major regions of the North, South & East. No doubt, the citizens of this country are spread through all continents, and we are constantly bringing up a generation who tend to lose touch with our rich culture, tradition and most importantly language. To this end, Queen has written this book, which proves invaluable not just to children but adults alike who missed the privilege of being born in Nigeria as well as missed the opportunity of speaking a different language.. It can be purchased from amazon!
I am highly elated with this invention and recommend it to everyone, Nigerian or not. Knowledge is power, and no knowledge is ever a Waste...
Proud of you Queen, keep making a difference.....
