Isoko Development Union (IDU) women's wing, worldwide under the leadership of Chief Mrs.Felicia Suleiman recently organized a seminar/ skills acquisition at the Isoko Unity House, Oleh, Isoko South local government area of Delta State, with a 'Theme Harmonious Living Among Isoko Women' featuring health, (food and nutrition) safety tips.
While Speaking to newsmen during the epoch making ceremony the
President General of the Isoko Development Union Women's Wing, Chief Mrs
Suleiman stated that, the reason for this programme harmonious living among
Isoko women is that over the years where ever there are women there are always
bound to be conflict and there is need to preach the gospel of unity and love
to bridge that gap.
According to her, I decided to start with this theme Harmonious
Living among Isoko Women to promote the unity and love among the Isoko women, not
as if I saw conflict before organising this programme, she stated.
When asked about hate speeches going on in the country as result
of the 2019 general elections,Chief Mrs. Suleiman asserted that all these hate
speeches will not take Nigeria as a country anywhere, noting that as long as
Nigeria want to leave and stay together as one they must learn to promote and tolerate
one another.
Mrs.Suleiman reiterate that if there is anything anybody is
doing that is wrong must be corrected with love not by pulling them down,saying
that Nigeria is our country, we don't have another,we must fight against
hatred, wrong criticism and pursue constructive criticism and promote the unity
of the country.
On the skills acquisition training Mrs. Suleiman said that the
participants are going to benefit immensely from the programme especially the
young girls, pointing out that, once the young girls are idle they will be engaged
on the wrong thing, but in these skills acquisition, they are going to be
taught how to make soap, wigs, juice, smoothie, cake, pastries and perfumery to
better their life while waiting for Mr. Right to come.
She pointed out that with what they are learning today they
would not have the mindset of running after internet fraudsters known as yahoo
boys, noting that, they will become responsible and better suitors will come
seeking their hands in marriage.
She therefore used the medium to enjoin the participants to go
out there after the training to start practicalizing what they have been taught
during the training to enhance their life positively.
The programme was organised for selected women from the 22 clans
in Isoko land.
She also enjoined Nigeria to be peaceful and vote rightly by
voting the right candidate and expect better 2019.
She however used the event to commend the effort of the
president general Isoko Development Union High Chief Iduh Amadhe for making IDU
the envy of all other ethnic groups in Delta State.
