 And as Nigeria joins other nations to mark the 2021 Children's Day, a group has called for more support for children with special needs and disabilities. Celebrating the day at the Diopu area of Portaka, the group harps in the need to eradicate poverty and inculcate good morals in children. Leader of the group, Harmony Obyagu, said the day is meant to put smiles on the faces of children, no matter the status in society. Mothers advise the children to focus on their education and be good ambassadors to the country, while some of the children who got scholarship expressed happiness over the gesture. Children, the future of tomorrow, our leaders to come, they need to live a good life, show examples of good morals in the society so that they can become what they want to be tomorrow. I told them you should have compassion. Don't look at everybody and see them as nothing. Be compassionate. And they were promising me that they're going to give me the money. And today I just said, let me come to this program. And I came, glory to God they gave me, they told me that I'm going to pay for my junior work. I just want to thank them. Everybody has supported them. So I've never celebrated like this before. It's like a dream come true. I'm excited. My dad would be so excited. My mom was so proud of me. My mother was the one that encouraged me. She saw the booklet. She was happy that I should participate in the quiz competition. I grew up in this community where I celebrated the children today. And I understood the pains that children pass through in this community. So I decided to give back to the society what the society has given to me. NEWS OPDATES
