Children's Day (Review) not Celebration. There are not yet anything to celebrate. No time in need than now! If we had paid attention some 40 years ago, we would have gotten the gut to add "celebration". If we had worked hard to train our children towards professional focus, by now God would have gotten some souls to work with, towards National Development.We did not just gather children and confused them into the society but with hope of "food on the table, money in the pocket, technology transfer, giants of Africa, best civilized, computer age marshals etc. When real computer usage and it's usefulness became glaring, everyone switched off electricity currents and ran far off, watching how computers will blow off the world by end of time. Y2K . Before we could breath, computer entertainments and social media activities flooded everywhere. We discovered the grave consequences and called on the parents, they say it was their time.

Suddenly, WAEC, Jamb, NECO and others started noticing empty seats in some school classrooms during exams. Brilliant ones do sit tight. Where are others? No one knows. Some Exam results started releasing wonderful grades, including that of dead candidates that didn't sit for the exams. Other vices followed suit. One must Survive. Till now we are yet. to switch on to the children. We insist, To Build the Nation let's first Build the Children. One man crusade. Thanks A. C. Okafor. Founder Mater Amabilis.
