Valentine - A time to......... Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

A time to show that woman love
But they’ll rather abuse them the more
A time to reach out mostly to the unloved
But they’ll rather keep it amongst pals
A time to give a ray of hope to that less privileged girl child
But they’ll rather bash her and take away the little joy she has
A time to be celebrated everyday
But they’ll rather restrict it to just a day in the year
A time to get sane and protect one’s dignity as a woman
But they’ll rather open those thighs for those that don’t deserve

Writer Profile
'Yemisi


Hello there! I'm Yemisi, a Nigerian female with a passion for developmental initiatives.

I love writing because it's a way of adding value to other people's lives, i.e. sharing. We all are who we are today just because sometime in our lives we had opportunities to read what someone else had written.

I like advocating for the voiceless, especially the less-privileged ones. I love programs that focus on children, teens, youths and women. I also believe that we all can live lives worthy of emulation (by generations yet unborn) if we contribute positively - by putting in our best in whatever we are involved in.

My first degree is in Economics and I also have a Masters in Humanitarian & Refugee Studies. I'm currently in University of Jyväskylä, Finland studying for a Masters in Development and International Cooperation.

I'm interested in issues relating to children, youth and women empowerment, especially in developing countries like Nigeria.

I have authored 3 books titled - "Child Development: Whose Role", "Let's Help Nigeria", and "Charisma and Character".

I am a facilitator, trainer, business advisor/consultant and a motivational speaker. My goal is to contribute to socio-political and economic development through skills transfer, knowledge sharing, networking and policy advocacy.

Thanks to TIG for giving me a unique platform to share with and meet new friends!
