Check Out Photos From The Launch of WhiteDecember Foundation International
The vision of the foundation is to get the less privileged children prepared for their future and the future of Nigeria at large, using education.
The reason for this according to the founder, Mr. Efe Obanor is due to the high cost of education in Nigeria.
“We at WHITEDECEMBER Foundation want to empower the less privileged digitally by making technology work for education”.Continuing Obanor said,
“We want to give them knowledge by setting up IT centres in orphanage homes across the country; teach them to read, write and become computer literate to improve their lives on their own and at their own pace.”Obanor made reference to the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and how he had his first computer at the age of 11 saying that was an inspiration.
“I believe when the less privileged in our country have access to information and communication technology at an early stage in life, it will really impact their lives positively and enhance the overall productivity of the child and broaden their thinking and perceptions about life.”
“Having access to the internet means they can have better reach. Through Google and YouTube they can read and watch tutorials and as computer literates, they can use ATMs, banking apps and other apps and devices that require technical knowledge.”According to him, “Our leaders will be able to communicate with their constituents directly, and also it would help our democracy too because I believe the time will come when we will have electronic voting machines. So on the long run it will be of economical and political benefit to the Nation.”
Giving insight into future plans and projects of the foundation, Obanor said,
“We are about to start the construction of WHITEDECEMBER Scholars Academy. A purpose built primary and secondary school with modern facilities at Ajah, Lagos State, it will be exclusively free for the less privilege. The work has begun and we have fastened our seat-belts to go on this prosperous ride with these beautiful children.”More photos below...

NYSC in Ekiti Reacts to Story of Manhandled Female Corper By Man-O-War Commandants
The NYSC in Ekiti State has issued a rejoinder over claims that its official brutalized a Corper in the state for not wearing her jacket. The statement:
Angel Eluna is unkown to NYSC Ekiti State. I wish our young Nigerians will be truthful and bold enough to narrate issues as they really are and put their real names on such narrations.
The real corps member involved in this matter is CONFIDENCE AZUBUIKE (EK/16B/2389). She was not molested by any official of NYSC Ekiti State. Rather it was the other way round.
Confidence in her statement to the State Coordinator said she held the official’s shirt by his collar because she did not know he was an official.
She quickly released him when the Local Government Inspector introduced himself. Investigation into the incident which required the call for the corps member’s file has revealed a whole lot about who Confidence is.
One wonders the source of Confidence’s confidence in being so unruly. You need to see what she wore for Community Development Service. Her cap was wrong, White T-Shirt was something else, her canvas was Pink, Khakhi Jacket tied round her waist. Above all, she refused to be corrected and would rather fight the NYSC official.
Let it be known that the reddish patch on her arm was caused by the long chain of her handbag strap. It was as she held the officer’s shirt that the bag strap pressed on her arm leaving the reddish spot because she is fair. This is the Account of an individual that witnessed the incident.
NYSC Ekiti is coordinated by a mother who will not allow any of her corps members to be maltreated by anybody. However, she will not tolerate any misbehaviour on the part of the corps members. She calls them “My sons and daughters”. She will not hesitate to call her erring daughter Confidence to order and that she will do in this matter.
- there are always two sides to a story.
