Two days ago we celebrated mother's day, come to think of it who is a mother? A mother is someone who nurtures, cares for, and provides love and support to a child. This can be biological, adoptive, or even in a chosen family dynamic. A mother isn’t just defined by giving birth but by the role she plays in a child's life—offering guidance, protection, and unconditional love. Characteristics of a mother A mother is often characterized by a mix of emotional, psychological, and practical qualities. While every mother is unique, some common characteristics include: 1. Unconditional Love – A mother’s love is deep, unwavering, and not based on conditions. She cares for her children regardless of their flaws. 2. Nurturing Nature – She provides emotional and physical support, ensuring her children feel safe, loved, and cared for. 3. Patience – Raising children requires immense patience, from teaching life lessons to handling tantrums. 4. Selflessness – A mother often puts her child’s needs before her own, sacrificing time, sleep, and personal desires for their well-being. 5. Strength and Resilience – She remains strong through challenges, whether emotional, financial, or personal, to support her family. 6. Guidance and Wisdom – A mother imparts life lessons, values, and knowledge, helping her children navigate life’s ups and downs. 7. Protectiveness – She instinctively protects her child from harm, whether emotional or physical. 8. Compassion and Empathy – Understanding her child’s feelings and struggles, she provides comfort and reassurance. 9. Dedication and Hard Work – Whether she’s a stay-at-home mom, a working mother, or balancing both, she is committed to providing a better life for her child. 10. Forgiveness – Even when children make mistakes, a mother forgives and continues to support them. While these characteristics are common, motherhood looks different for everyone. Some mothers may express love through actions rather than words, while others may be more emotional. What do you think defines a mother best? Let's have your opinion on this

Nigeria’s Janet Ekundayo, whose name means “tears turned to joy,” dedicated her life to caring for orphans and abandoned children. Despite having five biological children, her love for children led her to adopt and care for over 500 kids at the Ekundayo Orphanage Home in Isanlu Makutu, Kogi State, a mission she started in 1969. Her selfless devotion earned her the nickname Olomo Yeye (someone with many children), making her one of the most influential women from Kogi. For over 50 years, she transformed the lives of countless children, turning their sorrow into happiness. In 2009, she passed away, believed to be in her 80s or 90s. Many only learned about her inspiring story when Nigerian singer TY Bello honored her with a tribute video and the song Ekundayo in 2008, as part of her Greenland album. Mama Ekundayo remains a symbol of love, kindness, and unwavering dedication. #africanfolder #MamaEkundayo #OlomoYeye #NigerianHistory #Humanitarian #KogiState #TYBello #Ekundayo #AfricanHeroes #OrphanCare #InspiringWomen

Senate 'll Promote Progressive Governance, National Development - Akpabio President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has reiterated the commitment of the Senate under his leadership to progressive governance, economic empowerment, and national development. Akpabio stated this in his acceptance speech after his investiture as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Lagos on Friday. According to Akpabio, "the Senate’s commitment to progressive governance, economic empowerment, and national development remains unwavering. And I assure you that this honor will not be taken lightly. If anything, it will only spur me to work harder, to push further, and to serve better. "I stand before you today deeply honored, profoundly humbled, and immensely grateful. To receive the Honorary Fellowship of this distinguished institution is not just a privilege; it is a testament that there are values we hold dear—the values of service, excellence, and unwavering dedication to building a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria. Akpabio noted that, "for over five decades, the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers has stood as a beacon of professionalism, integrity, and nation-building. You are the silent architects of Nigeria’s urban transformation, the custodians of our nation’s physical wealth, and the guardians of the principles that sustain our economy—accountability, due process, and strategic planning." "Your work ensures that our cities are well-planned, our investments are secured, and our future is built on a solid foundation. Without you, the skylines of Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt would remain concepts, not realities. Without you, businesses would struggle to find the confidence to invest, and without you, the dream of homeownership for many Nigerians would remain just that—a dream. "So today, as I receive this honor, I do so not as an individual, but as a representative of the Nigerian Senate, as a servant of the Nigerian people, and as a voice of the Nigerian people. I also know that leadership is about legacy. Therefore, I dedicate this award to the 10th National Assembly and the great people of Nigeria, who have entrusted us with the sacred duty representing them in the governance of this country.. "This recognition is not just a celebration of what has been done, but a call to action for what must be done. It is a charge to lead with renewed vigor, to continue to fight for policies that will make housing more affordable, land administration more transparent, and infrastructure more sustainable. "It is a call to ensure that Nigeria’s land and property assets are managed with the efficiency, integrity, and foresight that will secure our economic future. "To my brothers and sisters in the real estate and valuation profession, I say—your work is critical to Nigeria’s development. And we, in government, are listening. The policies we craft, the laws we enact, the reforms we champion—all must align with the vision of a Nigeria where economic growth is not just a statistic, but a reality that uplifts every citizen. "To the leadership of NIESV, I thank you again for this recognition. To the distinguished guests here today, I thank you for your presence. And to the Nigerian people, I reaffirm my commitment to you—because in the end, governance is about service, and service is about people. Jackson Udom, Special Assistant, Media To The President Of The Senate
