Goodluck set for another international award and recognition.

-

Former President Goodluck Jonathan, who has recently become a global icon, will be honoured by the Diplomatic Circle in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday, January 21, 2016.

Ex-President Jonathan has been selected for honour for his democratic credentials and upholding human rights in Africa.

The former president is to receive his honour, at the group’s annual dinner in Geneva.

He is the first African leader to be so honoured by the revered group of diplomats.

At the dinner gala night Jonathan will also deliver a keynote address.

Earlier in the year, a public policy organisation on African affairs, the Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center, recommended the ex-president for the Nobel Peace Prize.

According to the group, the peaceful way Jonathan conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari in the general election deserves the attention of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

“He may have not promoted fraternity between nations but he surely promotes fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power,” the group noted.

Pep Talk Presented to Teenage Church, SpiritBreed Parish, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ada George, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, Sunday 21st September, 2025 INTRODUCTION If academic excellence is not important, we wouldn’t talk about it. Academic excellence is a tool of posterity, a measure of survival. Everything there is in life revolves around excellence. Technology, for instance is a product of excellence. There is hardly any contemporary or primordial essence of life that is not a derivative of academic or learning excellence. Academics has been used interchangeably as learning.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Every once in year there is that special day in the lives of everyone. The day we commemorate our grand entries into the world, that reminds us the day we took our first breaths,the day we began our great sojourn, the day our loving mothers travailed in labour and prevailed. The day our tiny crying voices wiped away every pain of delivery our mothers suffered and brought laughter and happiness to everyone around us. The day we mark our birthdays. You would agree with me that birthdays are considered one of the most important days in a person's life.

I do not blame them much, a birthday is special and the celebrant ought to be tre...
