It was a wonderful day for members of our ‘Triple G’ Girls’ Club, Makoko chapter in Lagos.
Betty Adelugba (aka Betty Adex), a young Nigerian lady, an American-based entrepreneur, girl empowerment activist who is also a member of the US Army visited recently with lots of inspiring talks, and LOTS of gifts for our girls!
She also took time to encourage the girls to focus on their academics and personal developments rather than on boys, boyfriends and such distractions which may result in teenage pregnancy and lack of attention to their studies.
For the club members, some of whom are already overcoming the pangs of teenage pregnancy, teenage motherhood, and educational challenges etc, it was a most inspiring, memorable and even emotional session!
“If I can make it, you certainly can,” she told the girls repeatedly, speaking one-on-one with the more than 20 girls present, listening intently to issues they may be facing and ith much empathy, with encouraging words and not without a hug for each girl.
Besides Makoko girls, the meeting also had attendance from other communities eg Otodogbame in Etiosa LGA of Lagos State, Sagbokoji and Iwaya also in Lagos.
Thanks, Auntie Betty Adex!
