WHY I AM LEAVING A LEGACY FOR ANIMAL



Chiemeka Chiedozie, Project Director, HUMANE GLOBAL CONCEPT in an email chat expressed his love for animal, In today world especially in Nigeria, it takes a sensational story or event to grab people interest on the need to stop eating animal an go vegetarian because of humane global concept extraordinary attention and activities and my passion for animal right in Africa.

Many people now know that animals suffer on factory farms, in laboratories, in the zoos, on the streets and in the circuses. Before people will consider changing their lifestyle, they need an impetus to do so.
He noted that humane global concept has organized animal exhibition shows and animal conferences in the past years, having been to over 200 schools to organize animal seminars on animal for children. I have been to Ghana to address and share my humane experience with volunteers in the Society of Animal Welfare Ghana

With the help of ANIMAL AID UK, PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMAL, VIVA, ANIMAL DEFENDER INTERNATIONAL, SHARE THE WORLD, AND INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR ANIMAL WELFARE., we have been able to pass a message to Nigerians on the need to stop animal cruelty. The organization has provided that initial burst of knowledge about what life is like for animal. I was featured in Animal Times Uk, 2012 issues. I have also been featured on the Nation Newspaper and Animal Defender international in America.

Ebola virus or not, we will continue to worship our gods, these were the response of some of the worshippers of the Osun river at the recent Osun Osogbo festival 2014.
 
No doubt this year festival witnessed another turn out of crowd at the Osun groove. The festival was held when the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) became a feared disease before it became contained by the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH).

MAKOKO OUR HOME.

HERE IS OUR HOME!

My journey into the heart of the Makoko axis was another adventure on its own, seeing wounded houses built inside water.  

Again the inhabitants of Makoko are majorly the Egun people of Badagry, Ijaw and Ilaje people too and Egun is their official language the language is similar to Yoruba dialect. While i was thinking, how will i transport myself inside the water, a very young boy offers to transport for just N 400 (four hundred naira only) in other to take me to the venue of the train of Sustainability Academy Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) program tagged “Turmoil in Africa; Uprising or Chaos”.

Executive Director and environmentalist, Mr Nnimmo Bassey noted the government should make sure they carter for the people of Makoko community in terms of giving them the basic health facilitates and adequate education, that they should not be sideline from what they deserve from the government.

However, at the end of the program, JesuDegbe jetty perhaps is seen as the largest jetty in Makoko which contains about 30 commuters at a time.

Here are the pictures of the event.
