Green Pasture Kiddies party with the less privileged

Children at the Great Faith Orphanage in Ikorodu, Lagos, will also have a taste of today's Children's Day celebrations. A non-governmental organization, Green Pasture Kiddies, plans to throw a special Children's Day event for children from this home on Saturday May 28.



In an interview with X2, Yewande Olofinro, founder of Green Pasture Kiddies, reveals that the event is aimed at putting a smile on the faces of these orphans as well as helping them develop their creativity.
"The aim of this program is to bridge the gap between privileged and under-privileged children," Olofinro said. "We want to help foster good relationship amongst them. This year's event is tagged ‘Creative Hands'; With this, we intend to bring out the creative abilities in these children through arts and crafts," she said.

Paying it forward



"Green Pasture Kiddies is a child advocacy organisation that is committed to impacting the lives of indigent children in direct, positive and meaningful ways. Our activities include organising programs to provide environmental care and health care services, food and clothing, school supplies, educational programs and fun activities for such children.

"Our mission is dedicated to street children, children in orphanages and children in slums, so that they may better handle the challenges their lives bring and to give them the ability to face the future with hope and optimism," she said, explaining the purpose of the NGO. Past events organised for kids by the organisation include the annual Val4Kids, which has run for three years and is aimed at showing orphans "that they are loved despite their current environment."

Senator cleans up community

Written by: Wale Ajetunmobi

Cleanliness is next to godliness so goes a saying. This is the message the member representing Lagos East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Gbenga Ashafa sent to the residents of Maidan community in Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA) last Saturday.

The programme was kicked off at Maidan community behind Mile 12 Market, where the residents trooped out en masse to join the officials of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA, who were led by the Secretary to the Local Government (SLG), Mr. Olusola Odubiro, officials from Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA). The Nucleus Group, a non-governmental organisation, was also on hand to join in sanitising the area. Sanitation tools such as hand gloves, nose masks, brooms, environmental boots, rakes, shovels and waste nylon were distributed to the residents free of charge. Also, T-shirts with inscription "Clean up Maidan Orile" were given to the volunteers among the residents, who included youths, women and community elders. Ojubule, who said he was born in the area over 65 years ago, however, decried neglect of the community by the state government.
 

YEWANDE OLOFINRO (M.D/C.E.O, attachebywande collections -and- 
Co-ordinator, GREENPASTURES KIDDIES CLUB)

In an effort to ensure cleanliness in the communities within the senatorial district, the office of the Senator, in collaboration with Local Government Councils and LCDAs, has organised series of environmental sanitation exercises tagged: "Clean Up Your Environment."

The riverside community has been said to be prone to flood in the rainy season. This, the inhabitants, said was because the locality did not have a good drainage system. But to prevent loss of lives and property through flood and preventable diseases, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) at Senator Ashafa’s Constituency Office, Babatunde Adegunju, said the lawmaker, with the council officials, deemed it necessary to initiate the exercise and sensitise the community on the need to ensure waste materials and erosion did not constitute danger to the community.

Princess Yewande Olofinro, who coordinated the programme on behalf of the Senator, said the programme would come up every month in all localities that make up Lagos East Senatorial District.
She, therefore, urged people of the community to ensure a clean environment, saying a dirty environment was a threat to the health of the children. Princess Yewande disclosed that Senator Ashafa was committed to the good health of the community. "This is why he sends us to clean your environment for you."

Speaking with Newsextra, the Community Head of Maidan Orile, Jeremiah Ojubule, commended the Senator for the exercise, saying that the sanitation exercise indicates that Ashafa did not forget the people of the community after his election into the Senate.

He said: "Since the existence of this community, no government has come to do any project for us. Everything you see here, including the installation of electric cables and transformers, was done by the residents of this community. So, we are using this medium to tell the government that we are part of Lagos State and we also need amenities that are being enjoyed in other areas of Lagos. After all, people here pay tenement rate and tax."

Ojubule said the major problems of the community are poor drainage system and bad road network. He called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to come to the aid of the community by constructing a proper drainage system. He also urged Senator Ashafa and the council officials to continue the programme and extend it to other communities in the area.

A resident, Isiaka Kareem, said the exercise was timely in that the community did not have a proper waste water passage. He said the stagnant water had caused several illnesses in the community because there was no way it could pass on to the river body. Kareem urged the government to show care to the residents of the community by providing drainage system in the area.

Odubiro said the chairman of the LCDA, Engr. Addulwaheed Oyesanya, had gone round the area to sensitise people, especially those that raised structures on the water passage. He further said the exercise portrays Senator Ashafa as one who is passionate about lifting people of the community.
Gbenga Babarinde, a resident also said: "I commend our Senator for this initiative. However, we need him to do more for us because the problems we have in this community are dirty environment and poor drainage system. This is the cause of the dirty environment as far as I am concerned.
But in all, the cleaning exercise shows that Ashafa is listening to our cries and I must commend him for that."

Another resident, Mrs Oladoja Adepeju, said: "We thank Senator Ashafa for remembering our community for the first time. But we want him to do more for us. If we have good drainage system and better roads, people living in this environment would be more than happy to support any initiative from the government."
Highlight of exercise was the distribution of Senator Ashafa’s exercise books and writing materials to school children in the area.

Eight outfits men love on women

Sometimes the hardest outfit to put together is one that's interesting but not too interesting— something that's on-trend enough to impress judgy friends but not so fashion-forward it flies right over boys' heads (harem pants, shoulder pads and denim tuxedos come to mind).

From sweatpants to beachwear to cocktail dresses, these eight outfits fall right in that sweet spot. Neither costume-y nor too classic and conservative, they'll keep everyone happy...but most importantly YOU. 

He'll like the high hemline, while you'll like the graphic print-mixing and perfectly oversize clutch.

Style mistakes you don't know you're making

 

Every once in a while we have to take a hard look at our fashion choices. Are we really wearing the right pieces for our body type? Do the current trends--although deemed fashionable by reputable sources-- really work for us? Now that we’re happily turning our attention over to spring looks, let’s all make an honest assessment of the style mistakes we might be making without realizing it. Since recognition is the first step, in this episode we highlight the most common sartorial transgressions. See if they apply to you and let us know. 

 

You know how you get in a routine--you eat lunch at the same place, take the same route to work. Sometimes the same thing happens with our fashion. We get used grabbing certain items out of our closet, but suddenly the slouchy sweater is really more frumpy than slouchy. The miniskirt is more mini than it should be. Here are some common mistakes to watch out for:

Mixing too many trends

Staying current is a great idea, but make sure you’re not sampling every trend-of-the-moment simultaneously. Neon top + floral skirt + statement jewelry = overload. Stick with one or maybe two complementary trends at one time that are appropriate for your age and figure. 

Wearing clothes that are too baggy

We all have days when we want to hide under a tent, but opting for baggy clothes can often make a person look bigger than they really are. Instead of hiding, select options that play up your positive assets (everyone has them!) and play down your less desirable areas. For example, if you’re self-conscious about your middle, skinny jeans that show off your legs and a flowy top will do the trick.

Wearing clothes that are too small

Sometimes you can technically still zip the zipper, but if your pants are bursting or your hemline is alarmingly high, you’re not doing yourself any favors. The same goes for a super tight, super short dress that you can squeeze into.  Be realistic about your measurements--even if they are only temporary--and choose pieces that give you some room to breathe.

Using too much or too little detergent

We put so much effort into selecting our clothes, why throw it all away by not taking good care of them? One common issue is not using the right amount of detergent in the wash. An easy solution is to use new Tide Pods—which contain the right amount of detergent, stain remover and brighter in one. Throw one in and you’re done.

Ruining a great look with the wrong coat

I’m afraid I’m guilty of this one too often. If you’re wearing an elegant gown or cocktail dress, a hooded military jacket is not the appropriate accompaniment. It’s like a great cake with the wrong frosting. A waste! Invest in a satin-blend trench or slim silk blazer.

Wearing nude stockings

Kate Middleton is the only person who can get away with this—and that’s because she is a duchess who will someday be a queen. It’s hard to know what to wear when it’s too cold to go without anything on our legs but it’s too warm for tights. Still, skin-colored pantyhose are never a good option. Stick with light colored patterned or textured tights until summer arrives. Or make it a pants day.
