“The initiative has created learning platform where women are taught empowerment lessons, topical issues on health, relationships, career, business, family, ministry and other life transforming topics applicable to life situations,” she added.

Damisah said that the initiative had helped women to take control of their physical, spiritual, mental and life.

“These sessions have also helped in equipping us with wisdom, knowledge and strength to overcome challenges of our lives,” she said.

According to her, the organisation will now focus on mentorship and offering leadership coaching for members.

“Plans are ongoing to access Federal Government loans and grants as a demonstration of our commitments to truly see every woman being a winner in the economy,” the convener said.

Mrs Funmi Olubakin, a marriage coach, said marriage entails responsibilities, companionship, sacrifice, commitment and forgiveness.

She spoke on the theme “Marriage and relationship in the 21sth century.”

She advised couples to shun deceit, irresponsibility and falsehood so as to make their marriage work.

“Close your ears from the noise of people in the market square and face what you have come to get in your marriage.

“Little challenges and stories should not cause distraction to you, whatever battles you have to loose to make your marriage work, is worth it,” Olubakin said.

She advised couples to prioritise their marriages and focus on life time companionship.

“Reintroduce and revive cultures such as hugging, kissing, chatting, strolling, shopping together and cooking together, this simple things rejuvenates the home,” she added.

Mrs Adebola Onesi-Lawani who spoke on ‘Parenting, children and teenagers in the 21st century’, urged parents to be abreast with the happenings in the world.

Onesi-Lawani, a family counsellor, said being abreast with trends in the society, would equip parents on various ways to advise and train the children in a more understanding and friendly manner.

She cautioned parents against negative behaviour, saying that children copy and imbibe what their parents do.

“Don’t concentrate on only the academics of your children; check what is influencing your child and talk about it, work it out better with the child.

“We have sexual abuses, yahoo and yahoo plus. We have what is known as LGBTQ, meaning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender.

“Fight for your children and protect them against wrongs, expose them to everything and speak of the dangers of indulging in such acts,” she added.

She pleaded with parents to also pray more for their children and play with them.

Mrs Esther Reng, an Etiquette coach, advised women to talk less, ensure personal hygiene and proper etiquette to sustain their marriage.

“Learning trades, crafts and indulging in empowerments programes to assist a man is necessary, as well as obidence and submissiveness were key to sustainable marriages,” Reng said. (NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
