I-SPELLING BEE: THE HAPPIEST MOMENT MY MURDERED DREAM GOT RESUSCITATED!!!

Friday 22-Nov-2019, 12:21PM / 6636

Tears started rolling down my cheeks as I checked through the pictures that kept entering my phone via WhatsApp, sent by one of the attendants (Mr. Rasheed Olanrewaju GAJI) of the I-SPELLING BEE & WORDS SEARCH COMPETITION of the organization I founded in 2014 – Initiative for Sound Education, Relationship & Health (ISERH). An American lady sitting beside me in the ferry I boarded from St. George Ferry to Staten Island Ferry, Manhattan looked at me, unknown to her what made tears rolled down my cheeks, and said ‘be a MAN’. I looked at her with eyes filled with tears and said joyfully: ‘Thanks. I am indeed a MAN’. There was no time to let her know that a reminiscence of a MURDERED DREAM that has just been RESURRECTED today Thursday, 9 March 2017, in my absence, by ever vibrant and incomparable Team of my organization brought these tears of joy.

In 2013, I and a friend ‘Daud Senge’ designed a project called STUDENTBRITY. The concept of the project was to shift the interest of vast majority of Nigerian students from becoming a CELEBRITY to becoming a STUDENTBRITY. To become a Studentbrity, you must excel in SPELLING COMPETITION we organized. We went to Gold 95.5 FM (FRSC) to meet the then Director of Program – Mr. Adedamola Tinubu. He introduced us to the Station’s Manager – Mrs. Abimbola Bello and we took our time to explain our project to the duo. Both quickly bought the project as a great initiative that could boost the academic seriousness of Nigerian Students. They asked if we could start it as a radio program before making it an open competition which we agreed to. The Manager put a call through to the then Corporate Affairs Manager of the International Breweries PLC, Ilesa, Mrs. Folashade Omole to seek the approval of shifting their sponsorship of her program to ours. She appointed Mr. Adewale Abayomi to be the Program Director, after having tasked Adedamola Tinubu to work with us in changing the name of the project to a ‘catchy one’.

The IBPLC communicated back to us through Mrs. Bello that they would like the program to promote their Beta Malt brand. Consequently, we were asked to change the name from STUDENTBRITY to what would reflect the brand. It took Mr. Adedamola Tinubu and myself 3 days to come up with BETA MINDS after exploring the options that came to mind: BETA SPELL, SPELL BETA, BETA BRAIN etc. The proposal for the program was typed in the station and submitted by Mrs. Bello to Mrs. Omole for approval.

Few weeks later, Mrs. Bello was transferred from Gold 95.5 FM (FRCN), Ilesa to Progress FM (FRCN) Ekiti State. Months later, Mr. Adedamola Tinubu also got transferred to another Radio Nigeria, Ibadan Station. Throughout this period, they were following up on our proposal that was awaiting the approval of Mrs Folashade Omole – the Corporate Affairs Manager of the IBPLC. After several waiting periods, we decided to forge ahead and introduced Aspiring the Best Competition (ABC) on our own through seeking sponsorship from local businesses and individuals.

I was on a motorcycle in 2015 when I spotted a bill board at Ita-balogun Junction, Ilesa on which BETA MINDS was boldly written with the pictures of the 2 Winners of the competition who are from Abuja and one Easter State - sponsored by the International Breweries PLC, Ilesa. I almost collapsed as I started sweating profusely. I put a call through to Mr. Adedamola Tinubu, Mrs. Bello and Mr. Adewale Abayomi who were also startled and felt greatly disappointed. I was later advised, after thorough consultations, to forget it and move on with my life. Multinational Companies are good at stealing people’s ideas and projects.

Today, I am overflowed with joy as the same murdered dream has now been translated to reality through miraculous resuscitation, even in my absence, of my powerful and vibrant ISERH TEAM. We have vowed since then, never to take our projects to International Breweries PLC, Ilesa or its likes for sponsorship again and this informed our resulting to making use of community efforts to sponsor our projects.

With less than N200,000 raised from Local Businesses and Individuals, we have greatly impacted the lives of Osun State Students/Youth. Today, through this project, we have successfully ignited and uplifted the spirits of academic excellence in them. We have successfully brought a sense of healthy competition to them. We have created another subject in their schools’ curriculum, SPELLINGS & WORDS SEARCH, as we plan that this project becomes an annual event.

I hereby appreciate all the Local Businesses, Individuals, Schools and the high-spirited ISERH TEAM for this incomparable success will jointly made. I believe that we are all sowing in the society and we shall surely eat the sweetness of the fruits that come out of this. Never ever allow your murdered dream to be rotten - through preservation and reminiscence – it may surely be resurrected.

TODAY IS ANOTHER HAPPIEST DAY FOR ME!!!!!!

Full gist about the event shall be uploaded soonest…

Nigeria shall surely be great again – through our collective efforts!!!

Comment: I am a very happy woman with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Dr Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was the right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me saying that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe that Dr Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Contact Dr Krish Spiritual directly through his email at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage.

Comment: I want to use this opportunity to share the good works of Dr. Odunga who brought my husband back to me from another woman in 2 days. His email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp contact is +2348167159012. The day my husband left me, things appeared bleak, and the atmosphere was heavy with uncertainties. Everything seemed pale and so I decided to look for help in spell casters who have the capability to bring my ex husband back to me. As envisaged, I went on the internet and as you too have seen in your search for a reliable spell caster, I saw a lot of testimonies of spell casters in the recovery of ex husbands and loved ones. Driven by belief in Doctor Odunga, I contacted him and after explaining things to him, he accepted to face the challenges on ground. He did brilliantly well. My ex husband came back to me within 2 days of contact with more care and affection and promised never to leave me. I will therefore like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him and share this testimony to enable others in need to contact him for his selfless service to situations and problems. Commendable, he shows great courage at taking on the daunting task of finding solutions to practically any given problem. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and I believe he will help you as he did to me..

Comment: This is a very joyful day of my life because of the help PRIEST Salami has rendered to me by helping me get my ex-husband back with his magic and love spell. I was married for 6 years and it was so terrible because my husband was really cheating on me and was seeking a divorce but when I came across PRIEST Salami email on the internet on how he helped so many people to get their ex back and help to fix relationships. and make people happy in their relationship. I explained my situation to him and then sought his help but to my greatest surprise, he told me that he will help me with my case and here I am now celebrating because my Husband has changed totally for good. He always wants to be by me and can not do anything without my presence. I am really enjoying my marriage, what a great celebration.

Comment: With so much in my heart I am here to express myself on how Priest Salami saved my marriage from divorce. Myself and my husband were having some misunderstanding and it was tearing our marriage apart to the extent my husband was seeking a divorce. So I have no option other than to go to the internet to seek a solution to my problem. It was there I came across Priest Salami details and about how he has helped a lot of people by restoring their relationship. I contacted Priest Salami and in less than 48 hours my husband cancelled the divorce papers. Now myself and my husband live together in peace and harmony all thanks to Priest Salami for saving my marriage from breaking up. Priest Salami contact information are via email: purenaturalhealer@gmail.com. Whatsapp number: +2348143757229.
