Happy Mothers' Day

By Mudiame Olumese

We celebrate mothers today!

The enormity of the job mothers carry out daily in the life(s) of all they are privileged to influence cannot be overemphasized, as this would determine the outcome of such life(s).

A woman does not become a mother by the process of child birth. the word mother encompasses more than that... It bring to mind nurturing, discipline, directing, and so on among other virtues. A mother grows and fosters her seed.

As I celebrate mothers today, my prayers are with those mothers who are in pain because their daughters' where-about is currently unknown; daughter who hold the key to tomorrow, and who carry the seed of future generations... the captives of the mighty will be delivered, your tears will turn to laughter. I speak, no one would tamper with the future of our daughter, as I join my voice with multiplied millions all around the world saying #BringBackOurGirls.

In celebrating mothers, I consciously remind my self of my task as a lady in Nation-Building; taking steps to mother those I have influence over. I am not quick to find the problem in a person, but decide to be part of the solution.

Raising future generation is a shared responsibility, we all must join hands to ensure that the future lacks terrorists.

Happy Mothers' Day
