THE GEN Z 🤔
We are intentional about this generation:
This is a generation of curious people...
A generation where a child would boldly question his/her parents....
A generation where the Teens no longer see themselves as being teachable/tamable...
A generation where children are adventurous and could indulge into all manmer of lifestyles without parents' awareness.
No, we can't fold our hands and watch. They have to be exposed to the right information that can help tame them because we owe them the right counsel otherwise, God will ask us so many questions. So, have your Teen Girl connect to this life-refinning meeting come tomorrow, the 7th of April, by 5 PM WAT using the following link 👇

We at Society Interest Magazine says a very happy birthday to God's choicest, Pastor Roy 🎉
The one in whom the hand of Yahweh is evident!
The one God is so much jealous about to the intent that He had to imprint your name in the sky to let the creation know that YOU AND YOURS ARE HIS AND HIS FOREVER 🔥 🔥 🔥

The 4th of December 2020 is a day to reckon with when the enemy was set to take my life through accident, but God's mercy said, "NO!" You came and stood in the gap in prayers. All I was seeing was Christ standing before me and making intersection for me. You were all wrapped up in His glory and rescued me from the pangs of death in intercessory prayers and supplications.

Once again, thank you sir 🙏 I am super grateful to God for the existence of people like you who are ready to stand in the gap for a covenant sister 🙏

Thank you for all you do in DC Angels Choir, VGC. The sacrifices, leadership, and trainings 🙏
My prayer is that Christ be revealed in all that concerns you and yours.
The enemy has got no stake in God's will, plan, and purpose for your life, because YOU ARE ETERNALLY HIS 🔥

Remain ever blessed, protected, and engulfed by the euphoria of God's mercy and grace in Jesus' mighty name. Amen 🙏

Regarding this transition, Rita Dominic, one of Africa's most acclaimed movie stars, expressed that the Miss Nigeria Pageant serves as a genuine reflection of a unified Nigeria. Over the years, it has empowered young women from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions. She is proud of the remarkable work her husband, Mr. Fidelis Anosike, the founder of Folio Communications and the Publisher of Daily Times newspaper, has accomplished with the brand over 16 years. Rita Dominic is thrilled to take on this new role and partner with TASC.

Dominic emphasized that her 25 years of experience in film production in the entertainment industry has equipped her with the skills and knowledge needed to lead Miss Nigeria.

Mr. Anosike, while speaking about this significant moment in the pageant's history, commended the original creators of Miss Nigeria and Chief Atinuke Oyelude, the first Miss Nigeria, who is set to celebrate her 93rd birthday on November 16. However, Anosike believes it's time for fresh leadership for Miss Nigeria, and he believes TASC is the ideal organization to carry forward the legacy.

He expressed his confidence in his wife, Rita Dominic, and The Audrey Silva Company, stating that they are the perfect team to elevate the pageant's status to the pride of Nigeria. The partnership with The Audrey Silva Company is welcomed with high expectations, aiming for the Miss Nigeria platform to evolve into an empowerment trust for young Nigerian women.

" The BHCPF was established in the National Health Act to extend Primary Health Care to all Nigerians by substantially increasing the level of financial resources to PHC services. The BHCPF is funded by from the Federal Government’s Consolidated Revenue Fund and supplemented by grants from local and international donors, partners, private sectors, philanthropic organizations and funds generated from innovative sources," Hon.

"As a Government, we must prioritize the Health Sector as it remains the responsibility of Government to provide adequate health services for her citizenry", Okojie concluded.
