(TLF) The Ultimate Law Is Love

 The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 October International Day of Older Persons  2 October International Day of Non-Violence   5 October World Teachers’ Day [UNESCO]  10 October World Mental Health Day [WHO] 11 October International Day of the Girl Child   13 October International Day for Disaster Reduction 15 October International Day of Rural Women 16 October World Food Day [FAO] ...

October Theme is Non-Violence aka Girls to Women Our thematic issues for this month is #Non-Violence aka Girls to Women  The issue of violence can spread from domestic issues such as child and spousal violence in the family unit to world issues on violence such as terrorism. But we must realise that both at the domestic level and world level, the child, especially the female child, and women are mostly the victims on the receiving end of all such violence. Violence cuts across several factors. In this month however, as we focus on violence, the prevention thereof and standing against therein, we want to also agitate for the celebration, protection and care of the girl child and women. Thanks  God loves us all. #October  Thanks  God loves us all. TLF💚

This month we looked at sub-issues under the theme  Literacy   a.k.a.   Learning !  Literacy  entails both formal and informal trainings and tutelage.  It involves the student and the teacher. The United Nations enjoins nations to take seriously the issue of Learning and Literacy as it declared 8th September yearly as International Literacy Day every year to sensitise the public on the issue. Remember in May we dealt with the theme of Communication. Just as communication is important to impact knowledge, we acknowledge that English language has been used in Nigeria as a means of learning. We also celebrate our individual languages and recognise that learning and literacy is also important with our languages. While we are to obey our teachers, we are not expected to allow them or seniors in school to lead us astray or teach us nonsense!  When Jesus is in our learning we will be humble and useful. When people use their learning and literacy to oppress, d...
