In central Nigeria, West Africa’s oldest civilisation flourished between 1000 BC and 300 BC. Discovered in 1928, the ancient culture was called the Nok Civilisation, named after the village in which the early artefacts were discovered.

Two modern scholars, declare that “[a]fter calibration, the period of Nok art spans from 1000 BC until 300 BC”. The site itself is much older going back as early as 4580 or 4290 BC.

If you're into mysteries with a side of teenage drama, this one's for you. When detention takes a dark turn, five students with secrets must team up to solve the ultimate whodunit. Trust us; you won't see the twists coming! https://www.oasisacademysouthbank.org/uploaded/South_ Bank/Curriculum/Student_Learning/Online_Library/KS4/one _of_us_is_lying/01_One_of_Us_Is_Lying_by_Karen_M_McMan us.pdf

Spirited and intelligent, Morayo grows up surrounded by school friends and family in Ibadan. There is Eniayo, her adoring little sister – for whose sake their middle-class parents fight stigmatising superstition – and a large extended family of cousins and aunts who sometimes make Morayo’s home their own. A shameful secret forced upon her by Bros T, her cousin, thrusts Morayo into a web of oppressive silence woven by the adults around her. Morayo must learn to fiercely protect herself and her sister as young women growing up in a complex and politically charged country.

Sick of watching his parents fight, 16-year-old Ewaen is waiting for university to begin, waiting for something to happen. Months later, Ewaen and his friends are finally enrolled as freshmen at the University of Benin.

Their routine now consists of hanging out in a parking lot trading jibes, chasing girls and sex, and learning to manage the staff strikes and crumbling infrastructure. But Nigerian campuses in the 1990s can be dangerous places, too. Violent confraternities stake territories and stalk for new recruits. An incident of petty crime snowballs into tragedy.

Little drops of water Little grains of sand Makes the mighty ocean And the pleasant sound So the little moment Humble though they be Makes the mighty ages Of eternity So our little errors Lead the soul away From the path of virtue Far on sin to stray Little deeds of kindness Little words of love Makes our earth happy And heaven above

Kindness Poetry

Bamisaye Glory Olamide is a 12-yearold student currently attending Ayo Fa Sanni Model College in JSS 3. She hails from the beautiful state of Ekiti.

A simple act of kindness can not stop a million years.

A little hug can give so much joy.

A letter now and then can save so many wasted years.

We should hold every moment precious and help as many as we can.

With a simple act of kindness every now and then.

The world would be a better place if we all cared a litter more.

Imagine how many smiling faces would greet us at the door.

If we extended that helping hand with a simple act of kindness that could spread across many lands.

A Simple Act of Kindness Poetry

Mindfulness for Teenagers Mindfulness refers to giving your full attention to the present moment without judgment. Many activities can be done mindfully, such as exercise, painting, coloring, and fishing.

Mindfulness for teens can be a wonderful strategy to help aid in development and as a coping skill for difficult tasks. Mindfulness can help people with their thoughts and emotions, and that increased insight can open doors to new choices. A centerpiece of mindfulness is observing the present without judgment—learning to meet oneself without judgment can build compassion and kindness. In today’s world of fast-moving media, concentration can be difficult. Many mindfulness activities encourage sustained focus, which can assist in developing this skill.

Mindful Activities for Teens Mindfulness activities that resonate with your needs can be done on a daily basis.

It’s OK to start being mindful by trying a variety of techniques to see which ones fit.

By Joy Godwyns

Benefits of Practicing Mindfulness for Teenagers 1.Increases optimism 2. Improves social behaviors 3. Improvements in attention 4. Improves self-control 5. Reduces bullying 6. Decreases teen stressors and teen anxiety 7. Improves compassion toward oneself 8. Improves emotion regulation 9. Improves school behavior

Different activities may also have different benefits; some may encourage relaxation, while others may encourage awareness. Mindfulness for teens can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.

1. Deep Breathing Breathwork is a classic mindfulness activity, which typically refers to purposefully manipulating the breath while mindfully focusing on it. This particular activity refers to deep, slow breaths (sometimes called belly breaths) that use the diaphragm. This encourages your body to relax.

2. Paced Breathing An additional type of breathwork is paced breathing, where the length of the inhales and exhales are purposefully manipulated. It can be helpful to have a longer exhale than inhale, because our heart rate slightly slows during the exhale. Try inhaling to a count of 5, and exhaling to a count of 7. Use the skills from the previous activities (deep breathing) so your breaths are diaphragmatic.

3. Progressive Muscle Relaxation Progressive muscle relaxation refers to tensing and releasing specific muscle groups. For example, scrunch your shoulders up to your ears; bring as much tension as possible to your neck and shoulders. Slowly count to three and release all that tension. Now continue that with all muscle groups, including your hands, arms, chest, and stomach. You can do larger or smaller muscle groups depending on your preferences.

4. Meditation There are many types of meditation, which typically involve keeping one physical position and paying attention to one thing, like your breathing, a mantra, or physical sensations. When your mind wanders and it will non judgmentally bring you back to that point of attention. Meditating can be uncomfortable at first, but with time you will be better. If it feels too uncomfortable, it’s OK .

A Well of Kindness Story

By Adebowale Korede Mercy A traveler was riding his horse slowly near a village in search of a nearby river because his horse was tired and thirsty. As he was going he saw a small hut. A young boy was sitting in front of the hut playing with a stone.

Seeing the exhausted horse in the distance, the boy immediately went to the hut and brought a bucket full of water and stood on the road, before the horse arrived.

Seeing the boy, the traveler stopped the horse and asked the boy. “What do you want?”

The boy said. "l don't want anything, l have come to give water to your horse." Saying this he put the bucket of water in front of the horse. The horse drank the water until it was satisfied.

After that the traveler took out silver coins and gave them to the boy.

The boy said, "Sir! I didn't bring water for money. I am a poor boy, my mother works on the farm. She brings food for both of us. It is my mother who taught me the value of kindness.”

She said, “Kindness is a great value, as it goes around. When God puts one in a position, there will be some good for him. Because whatever good or kindness one renders, he does it for good. The horse I see here is tired and he can't walk much. So staying here and giving water to the thirsty animal will also be doing God's work.”

The traveler was very pleased to see this kind attitude of the child. He thanked the child for taking to the teaching of his mother and said some words of encouragement and favor to him.

Then he asked the boy about his mother.

The boy replied. “My mother is inside.” The traveler said he would like to see the boy's mother. The boy took the traveler to his mother. After greeting each other. The traveler explained everything that had happened and commended the boy's mother for teaching the value of kindness to the boy.

Then he gave the mother a lot of money and he left.

From Bullying to Belonging: Oluwadolabomi's Journey of Kindness and Transformation Story

By Alli Oluwatomilola Adesola

Oluwadolabomi had been bullied for a while now and she didn’t say a word to her parents. At 10:00 in the morning Oluwadolami just finished biology class and was heading to the sick bay because she had a cut on her hand. On her way there she was stopped by Jesutofunmi, Tiwalade and Aderinsola.

They all said she stinks and made fun of the way she looked and the way she walked. Not minding them she said they all looked good and smelled really nice. Later that day Oluwadolabomi, Beenioluwwawi and Morayo discussed how they could start a club focusing on kindness for others and how they could let the principal know about it.

Tiwalade was struggling with Mathematics and Oluwadolabomi offered to help her with it but instead she said she doesn’t move with illiterates . The whole club idea was approved by the principal and they started with writing positive posts and organizing community service projects.

Jesutofunmi heard about this and told them their club was going to die off and make no impact in the school. The bullies tore down their posters about the club and told everybody it was just a waste of their precious time. When they heard about this they were battled and thought of a way to go about it.

They decided to understand ways the club could grow. Aderinsola during the weekend went for a two day camp and she learnt the impact of kindness and the effects of bullying and used that opportunity to share the lessons with her friends. The club’s reputation grew, and more students became interested in joining. Some other friends of Oluwadolabomi joined the club and helped others when they needed to.

Along the line Jesutofunmi, Aderinsola and Tiwalade apologized to Oluwadolabomi and her friends they had bullied.

Tiwalade confessed she started bullying people when her mum said she was a mistake and would not make it in life. This made her learn to project the hurt she felt on to others. The club pioneers were very forgiving and excited to have her be a part of them.

Eventually, the impact of the club created a huge impact on the bullying culture of the school, shifting towards a more positive and inclusive environment.

Once upon a time in the village of Udoma, there lived a wealthy farmer named Chinedu and his wife, a very famous trader known by both rural and urban traders. The two couples were a perfect match for each other, they were both hardworking, humble and peaceful people but there was a matter that always burdens their hearts, they had no issue for more than three years. This makes them a laughing stock in the society.

The fourth year, Mrs. Chinedu took ill, she was very happy to disclose this to her husband. One faithful evening after dinner she told her husband that she was pregnant. Mr. Chinedu was very happy and the bonds between them grew. He made sure she went for antenatal and registered in the hospital.

Few months later, Mr. Chinedu was in his farm cultivating crops, not less than five minutes a woman bashed to the farm panting and shouting “Your wife is in the labour, Chinedu.” He did not believe his ears and he ran to his house, on getting there his wife had given birth to a bouncing baby boy. He rejoiced and praised God. He named his Son "Chidera" and they celebrated the naming ceremony of his son with a big cow.

Seven years later, Mr. Chinedu was ill and died eventually due to a stroke and high blood pressure, his wife could not bear the pain and then she poisoned herself leaving little Chidera, a seven years old boy behind.

Kindness: A Key to Success Story

By Chibuzor Great

The uncles of Chidera took over the property of Mr. Chinedu and shared it among themselves and left little Chidera with nothing. The only Sister of Mr. Chinedu took Chidera to her home to take care of him.

Chidera, a very smart boy, quickly adapted to society. Mrs Chidebere took care of him as her son, Chidera loved his cousins Ebuka and Emeka. Mrs Chidebere took the three of them to school and trained them through primary and secondary schools. They graduated with the best grades and results. Chidera got 495/500 in his SSCE exam. This brought the whole family into celebrating him.

Chidera repairing the woman’s car

In the night, Mrs Chidebere broke the news that she did not have money to train them in University which brought Chidera and his cousins into confusion and sorrow. She advised them to learn a trade or hand work and they decided to learn mechanical engineering.

One day, a woman came to the mechanic workshop and gave Chidera her car to repair. He told her that the fault was from the carburetor and then he hurriedly repaired the car and she gave him a little token which he gladly accepted. In surprise she called Chidera by name and reminded him that he once saved her daughter from a car accident back then when he was in JSS 3. It never occurred to Chidera that he would ever see her again, she asked him why he’s at the workshop, and he told her that his aunt didn't have money to train neither him nor his cousins in the university, she felt pity for him and gave him and his cousin’s scholarship to any university of their choice. Chidera went home very happy with the good news.

Chidera and his cousin’s travelling to the United States with Mrs Chidebere.

Some months later Chidera, Emeka and Ebuka now attend the University of Ile-Ife (Obafemi Awolowo University) after a long period of time learning, they graduated with Master’s Degree and Ph.d.

Chidera later went back to the village with his cousin’s to greet his aunt and with her help, he sued his uncles and won the case. He was able to regain his father's properties. Years later, they travelled to the United states and lived happily ever after.

Kindness: A Key to Success

Enthusiam for Empathy Story

By Aladelua Valerie

In the vibrant town of Ibadan, there was a group of teenagers who shared an extraordinary bond—their enthusiasm for empathy. Led by Adura, a compassionate soul with a heart as big as her dreams, this eclectic group made it their mission to create a haven of understanding in the chaotic world of adolescence.

Their journey began when Jobi, a quiet boy with a passion for art, faced relentless bullying. Adura, fueled by her empathy and enthusiastic spirit, rallied her friends to support him.

Through a series of art sessions and heartfelt conversations, they not only shielded Jobi from negativity but also helped him blossom into a confident individual.

Inspired by their success, the group launched the "Empathy Express," a unique initiative to connect with their peers facing various challenges. From tutoring struggling students to organizing events for those feeling isolated, and several teenage conferences on gaining self-worth and self-esteem, the teenagers' enthusiasm in empathy became a force for positive change in Highland college.

As the Empathy Express gained momentum, the once divided school began to unite. Cliques dissolved, replaced by a sense of camaraderie.

Empathy became the cool currency, and the teenagers found strength in their shared mission to create a supportive community.

In the end, Ibadan became a symbol of the transformative power of teenage empathy enthusiasts. Through their passion for understanding, Adura and her friends turned their high school into a place where kindness was the ultimate rebellion, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone they touched.

In Conclusion Teenagers need empathy and kindness to navigate through adolescence.

Empathy helps them understand and connect with others, while kindness creates positive environments.

When teenagers embrace empathy, they cultivate resilience, emotional intelligence, and appreciation for different perspectives. This helps them grow as individuals and contributes to a harmonious world.

In turbulent times, the ripple effect of kindness spreads through friendships, classrooms, and communities. This nurtures personal growth and collective well-being. By embracing empathy and kindness, teenagers can enhance their development and contribute to a compassionate world.

Navigating Teen Love

TIPS FOR A HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

By Francisca Okwulehie

"Love is friendship that has caught on fire."

— Ann Landers

Navigating Teen Love: Tips for a Happy Valentine's Day it's the simple moments and thoughtful gestures that make the day memorable.

2. Keep It Lighthearted.

If you're in a romantic relationship, remember that you're still teenagers, and it's still too early to take things seriously. Keep the day lighthearted and fun. Celebrate in the midst of friends in a regulated open space like a cafeteria, restaurant or open parks. It is a good day to discuss your dreams and make actionable plans on how to achieve them. You can also exchange goofy homemade cards or plan a casual outing together.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and whether you're in a relationship or flying solo, it's a great time to celebrate love, friendship, and all the positive connections in your life. Here are some tips for navigating teen love and making this Valentine's Day a happy one: 1. Celebrate with Friends and Family.

Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love. It's a day to appreciate all the relationships in your life, including friends and family. Plan activities to spend time with loved ones, whether it's a movie night with friends or a special dinner with family.

3. Communication is Key. If you're planning something special with a crush or a significant other, communication is crucial. Make sure you're both on the same page about your plans for the day. It avoids misunderstandings and ensures that you both have a great time.

4. Be Inclusive.

Consider organizing a group hangout or a small gathering to include friends who might not have plans. It's an opportunity to share the love with everyone around you.

5. Set Realistic Expectations.

While it's lovely to have expectations for the day, it's important to be realistic. Not every Valentine's Day has to be a grand gesture.

Sometimes, it's the simple moments and thoughtful gestures that make the day memorable.

Navigating Teen Love: Tips for a Happy Valentine's Day Acts of kindness on Valentine’s day will go a long way in making everyone's day brighter.

6. Self-Love Matters.

Valentine's Day is a perfect time to practice self-love. Treat yourself to something you enjoy – whether it's a favorite snack, a good book, or a relaxing bath.

Remember, you're awesome just the way you are!

7. Respect Boundaries.

If you're in a romantic relationship, respect your partner's boundaries and communicate openly about your comfort levels.

Consent and communication are crucial in any relationship, so ensure that you both feel comfortable with your plans.

8. Spread Positivity.

9. Parental Consent.

Before you begin to make great plans of spending Valentine’s Day with friends or a crush. It is important that you seek the consent of your parents or guardians. Ensure they have a detailed idea of your plans for the day before you set out to celebrate. In the course of celebrations, always ask yourself what your parents would approve of before you do anything.

Remember, Valentine's Day is ultimately about celebrating love in all its forms. Whether you're spending it with friends, family, or a special someone, focus on creating positive and memorable experiences. Enjoy the day, and happy Valentine's!
