A 16-YEAR-old writer, Aishat Ibrahim, has urged Nigerian youths to have strong moral values and work hard so as to be successful and safeguard their families’ integrity.
Ibrahim, who is the daughter of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Federal State Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Ibrahim Sani Kaoje, said this at the launching of her maiden book The Girl who Loves her City, in Lagos.
She said “The sole purpose of the book is to strengthen, shape, guide and manifest good attitudes in the minds of the youths in general. It teaches young adults to have strong moral values and work hard to become successful.”
According to her, The Girl who Loves her City talks about self composure which would enable young adults to safeguard their families’ integrity. She noted, “We all get discouraged at some point in time, at home, work or anywhere. Then I say it is time we put up our sleeves and visit this book as it will guide us on the zeal to never give up no matter how many times we fall without looking back.”
Aishat urged her fellow youths to know that behind every cloud, there is a silver lining and they should not stop climbing mountains until they make their parents proud. Coordinator of Aishat Foundation, Mr. Ojo Adeyemi, at the event revealed that Ibrahim started writing the book when she was 13, adding that she got her inspiration from books she read and challenged herself to also write a book.
He said the major aim of the book and the foundation was to address moral decadence and entrench discipline among teenagers and young adults, adding, “The book also gives advise to parents as their behaviour and attitude have a major role to play in the upbringing of children.”
