The Lions Club of Akowonjo, Lagos, recently organised a vision project in collaboration with Kawe, a non-governmental organisation, and Lagos Business School MBA Class of 10.

The event, tagged ‘Vision’, was held at Oke-Odo Junior High School, Lagos, where 100 pupils were screened, and 64 of them were given free eyeglasses.

Kawe is a social enterprise aimed at encouraging and inculcating reading culture, especially in young people. It was founded by Mr Segun Dada.

President of the Lions Club, Akowonjo, Ibiba Odili, in her welcome address, described the event as unique because of the collaboration with other groups. Explaining the reason behind the project, Odili said: “Segun helps in development of schools, providing books and all that. So he asked me what he could do for me, and that was how the collaboration started.

“We discovered that most students are not doing well in class not because they are not brilliant, but because they don’t see well and then their parents have no money to provide eyeglasses for them. The collaboration is significant because it underscore the importance of collaboration. I look forward to carrying out this project with Segun beyond Akowonjo.”

District Governor of Lions Club, Lynda Odunmbaku while speaking, was overwhelmed with joy over the project. “I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by the president’s intention to bring the vision exercise to schools. It is customary for us to overlook children and face the adults as most clubs do. So it is a dimension that I buy into because I am a mother and school principal.”

Odunmbaku advised that early detection is key as it can be permanently corrected or managed. She applauded Segun Dada for the initiative.

In his response, Mr. Dada stated that his organisation encourages the students to read by establishing libraries in schools.

“If you are forcing a child to read and the child has eye problems, you need to fix that first. These days so much light is going into the eyes because of phones,” he noted.

Principal of the school, Oladokun Bernice Olusola, said she was overwhelmed by the Lions Club gesture. She promised to ensure that the students make good use of the glasses.

“I am highly impressed. I promise that those glasses will not be misused. We will give them orientation on how to handle and take care of the glasses. I promise that those students given the glasses will take good care of them.

During the event, Dada and the school principal were decorated with Lions Club badge.

    Majeed Dahiru is one defeated fulani criminals who thinks they can insult intelligence of this territory natives, insult intelligence of Igbos.

    At no time did Igbos welcome or embrace fraud of British bandits. Igbos fought British bandits in bloody engagement till 1922, fought them in diplomatic engagement till 1960 they were defeated and driven away with their flag. British bandits which violently established the fraud nickname Nigeria in 1914 to use it and steal wealth of this territory natives.

    Igbos fought fought fulani criminals from 1967 in bloody and diplomatic engagements till 2020 they’re defeated. Fulani criminals which violently established the fraud nickname fulani caliphate with its emirates in 1804 to use it and steal wealth of Hausa people etc. of the north. Fulani criminals which used the fraud nickname fulani caliphate with its emirates to keep Hausa people etc. of the north under fulani rulership since 1804. Used Hausa people etc. of the north to dominate southern natives politically since 1960 and stole wealth of this territory natives, frustrated economic developments of this territory natives to make this territory natives poor and keep them under fulani rulership.

    In the engagements to secure political existence of Igbos since 1960, Ojukwu applied secession of eastern region under Biafra Republic with bloody engagement, did not succeed but successfully established the foundation for Igbos political existence under Biafra Republic. Uwazurike under Massob and Kanu under Ipob applied secession of eastern region under Biafra Republic without bloody engagement, they didn’t succeed. We the Group of Intellectuals: G-I applied Disintegration with bloody engagement in which Biafra Republic of south east is one of the six sovereign states and succeeded.

    We this territory natives who owns the land and are more than 99% population of this natives territory defeated fulani criminals in 2020 in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states. Igbos are now the government over Igboland under Biafra Republic. Igbos must join Biafra military, police etc. under interim government of Biafra Republic to defend territorial borders of Igboland, fix Igboland and economies. Every community, town, city in Igboland must be fully armed now to defend territorial borders of Igboland for existence securities and freedom of Igbos under Biafra Republic.

    The way defeated British bandits find their way back to Britain, so also must defeated fulani criminals find their way back to Guinea- dead or alive. Only the Sword decides.
