The question and answer session
anchored by the master of the event Mr. Basher Luqman Olarewaju lasted for
about 45minutes, the answer were provided not just by the speakers but other
members that formed the answering panel,
including the representative of the principal of Offa grammar school, the first
and second speakers, the national president of Offa students union, the
presidents of Offa students’ union Unilorin and Usman Dan Fodio university (Udusok)
chapters, two members of teamfarz initiatives and a staff of Offa grammar
school. Some of the questions and
answers are: A student asked what he would need to become a novelist, this
question was answered by a staff of the school and the president of Offa
students’ union Udusok chapter that such student needs to be imaginative,
always inquisitive and take care of English language and literature. Another student
asked how to become a farmer and he was advised by Mr. Gegele Taiye Abdullah to
study agriculture in the university after he has made research of the various
branches of agriculture which some were listed. Another student asked about the
girl that has met over a hundred presidents. The students happened to have read
about the girl and her question was “her father left his job to support her,
can a typical Nigerian father do the same?”. The question was left to Mr.
Tijani Sheriffdeeen to answer since he introduced that in his speech. Mr. Tijani
made a comment about that and the Mr. Ibrahim Faruq also buttressed his points.
In the CEO’s comment he said “parental love for children’s success is same
across the world, if an American father can do that, a Nigerian father can do that too, haven’t we heard stories of Nigerian
parents that sold their jewelries to make sure their children are successful?.
But the problem now is can a Nigerian child think like that? If a Nigerian
child can think like that and request such from his or her parent with
sincerity, such parents can even do more than that”. He then advised the
students to be more serious at whatever they want, be good children at home and
to dream and aim high.
