The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, will participate at the High Level Forum for First Ladies at the 68th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Tthe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event, with the theme “Building Bridges for Peace on Health Disability: Post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda Initiative”, is scheduled for Sept. 24.
She is expected to deliver a speech for the opening of the workshop session, while Senior Advisor, RAND Corporation on the African First Ladies Fellowship Programme, Nicole Brzeski, will chair the workshop.
The session will address various creative strategies in addressing and overcoming peace challenges on various forms of women’s health and wellbeing.
Dr Ada Okika, the Secretary-General, U.S. Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations New York State Chapter, told NAN that the time had come for realistic understanding of the significance of a transformative agenda to build peace among nations.
“ Peace is directly related to poverty eradication, health care and improvement, good governance, leadership, social and economic emancipation and sustainability.
“Throughout its history, there have been global experiences on a wide range of conflicts, violence and other numerous challenges.
“These challenges must be addressed in order to promote human development, revitalise infrastructure and establish sustainable peace in working towards the future that the world want,’’ Okika said.
She noted that people throughout the world desired peace and good health, adding that women in particular had unique capacities to promote the peace and achieve positive health.
“ For this reason, we propose to convene First Ladies Forum from all UN Member States.
“The forum can serve as active agent for peace, building bridges on women’s health disability and child marriage, and meeting the challenges for sustainable peace and development of nations,’’ Okika added. (NAN) Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis her talk will be interesting.....will be good if it will be shown on national tv
ReplyDeleteWell the children's day speach which read thus by the able and amibale firstlady of the nation "my husband and sambo was once a child so let us respect these childrens because they are the future of our nation" so this is another time for us to prove to the world that english is our national language. Let's wait and see.
ReplyDeleteThis her speech will be rather interesting to hear. Hope it's shown on national tv.
ReplyDeletethey should ask if there is peace in her state(Rivers) and who's behind it?
ReplyDeleteObviously, most of the comments stem from ignorance of the highest other. Her English is not that bad compared to some participants from Latinos, Indians, Chinese etc. She should be herself cos English is not her mother tongue. It is not by how much Englis you can speak. Buhari, Abacha, Yar'adua's English were terrible and no one said anything. Please spare the first lady. Her promotion is not by her English but by God's favour.
ReplyDeleteBros Na you ignorant those countries you listed don't have English as an official language, Nigeria does. never mindmind they don't speak nearly as bad as patience. Truth be said that woman no just they try.
DeleteUhmmm... Yawa wan gas ooooo!
ReplyDeleteBut must she be there? Let her send somebody to represent her.
ReplyDeleteShe no go go o o . She go send delegate .
ReplyDeleteMake una no fear. She has been programed as to what to say nd hw to say it. The only fear n personal conversation with ppl nd reporters. God go help her us.
ReplyDeleteI wish u luck ma'am. God help us.
ReplyDeletePls give the first lady a chance, they must have heard her speak before n I believe they are impressed with her programme for peace that's why she is been called upon to speak.

ReplyDeleteFunny enough,those of u D̶̲̥̅̊ąƬ claims to 2 grammarians cannt even write simple Ąπϑ correct english.
I rest my case.
"Those of u DAT claims"- that's not correct man
DeleteIt's a very simple case. I heard she speaks pidgin english fluently, so let her speak or spark pidgin. Is it only her grammatical blunder? What of her "croaky", frog-like voice. That is another source of embarrassment. FOOLISH ILLITERATE WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteMy golden advise to her is that she should not go beyond what is written down for her to avoid grammartical blunders
ReplyDeleteHmmm....osule!!!
ReplyDeleteWell,she's a mother shaa,so....I nogo talk,respect to whom its due.
