In our world today a lot has changed, what was seen as abnormal is now considered trendy. Trends are great influence on humans. The importance to look into every trend is paramount in this ever changing world.

We are in days when it’s okay for parents to be single daddy or mummy because is acceptable to have children everywhere without being married.
Days where you are expected to accept it if a man says he wants to marry another man. Days of all sorts that are always harmful to children.

United Breeds Foundation is pro education and would pay attention when talks about improving lives through education is on. The INCUBATOR SCHOOLS, a Creche, Nursery and Primary school situated in Lagos is said to have called the attention of UBF for sensitization and enlightenment amongst their pupils.
The school made available text books that proved the children are exposed enough to have such conversations. Hence UBF team scheduled the meeting slated for 28th October 2021.

It was an interactive session led by our Convener Mr Anthony Abakporo, who through his dexterity of making people speak out got the kids talking. More than five primary1 and four primary4 pupils said they had taken alcohol.
How they took it was narrated but one got the attention of Anthony Abakporo who pursed at her word, and drew everyone’s attention to it.

A little girl said she and her mum drinks Hennesy. This is a dry gin that’s known to be strong. After much talks on it, Mr. Anthony spoke of bad parenting to the leadership of the school. Another situation was a kid who said her dad always come home drunk and fights her mum. She said her mum had to get a job to enable her pay the child’s school fees. So much was said and corrections were made by Anthony Abakporo who redirected the children and convinced them to never say yes when they mean to say no.
He also encouraged them in studies and to adhere to instructions from their parents and teachers.

This calls for many thoughts, are they going to follow the instructions of single parents that share alcohol with them?
Are they going to adhere to parents who watch BBN and make decisions from the experiences they see on explicit content tv shows or movies?

Not withstanding, the kids and UBF unanimously agreed to put their hands on deck, in a colourful portrait they made against hard drugs.

We are all in the work force to make our society a better place, let’s lend our voices promptly and orderly.

In a statement made by The Convener of United Breeds Foundation, Anthony Abakporo on his Facebook account given gratitude for his recent award nomination.

He emphasized the need for support for UBF, as this to him, will help in meeting some of the numerous challenges facing the Organization.

“I am grateful for all the recognitions and appreciation. But please permit me to say I would not rejoice at numerous awards when I know United Breeds Foundation needs support for the extraordinary works done daily”.

He therefore, calls on well meaning individuals and private companies to support UBF financially through the various account details of the Organization he shared…

“Your one thousand naira, 50 Euro, Pounds and Dollars will go a long way! Feeding, rehabilitation, paying school fees, training fees etc. are huge budget that needs everyone’s support to achieve. We are doing all these and more, support us today”.

“Once again thanks for nominating me for this Award, God bless keep you and family in Jesus name! Amen and Amen”.

It’s an abomination to kill a human being in a sane society. It’s also worse to look away when this recalcitrant persist.

At Ijora Badia is becoming a regular trade mark for youths to fight and kill each other. This is as a result of cultism and hard drugs that influences the ugly penchant. In a report last week it was recorded that seven youths lost their lives to this rivalry amongst ill informed youths.
Sunday 24th October 2021, six youths have been reported dead. This information reached us through the Chief Press Secretary of the Apapa Iganmu LGA. This was to inform United Breeds Foundation of the need for us to come apply the “HARM REDUCTION” strategy.

There had been an invitation to United Breeds Foundation through the former DPO who thought transformation and employment would go a long way. Because of his observations in the area. Without hesitation UBF was in that meeting where Bales and other stakeholders including politicians in attendance.

An agreement was reached to go the engagement route since most of these youths are known in the area.
UBF made contact with the said restless youths, and thought to set up a structure that would have residents involved as a team.
That never saw the day light but today residents and families who lost their children are ready for a change. Honorable Ozoemena Ikenna is championing the way forward against these killings. More consultations are on going as need to be orderly is paramount.
It is the duty of all Nigerians to build a better Nigeria, let’s address issues in our wards let’s support every good move towards a better society and country.

Prestige Elite Club is a Humanitarian club which was formed by a group of friends who had a passion for helping one and other. As time passed the friends realized that the needed to seek formal registration with CAC in order to increase the scope of Humanitarian activity with a focus of Helping the needy in the Society. The Club is currently based in Amuwo Odofin with various projects running in schools and the community at large.

In the just concluded WALK AGAINST HARD DRUGS AND HARMFUL VICES organized by United Breeds Foundation. Prestige Elite Club donated the sum of one hundred thousand naira (100,000) To encourage the walk.
The Leadership of UBF has expressed their gratitude and appreciation to the club for this laudable gesture.
As both Organizations conversed, it was said to mean a partnership that’s here to stay. Nigerians are expected to see more from these alliance.
Building Nigeria demands the good effort of every Nigerian. All hands must be on deck to work and ensure Law and Order is adhered to.

Members of United Breeds Foundation have put their hands in the plough, with a single vision in their mind : Walk Against Hard Drugs and Harmful Vices.
The youths joyfully went about 3rd avenue axis through to 31 Road and 311 distributing flyers door to door.
And informing many of the need to kick against drug abuse in Amuwo Odofin Local Government.

Strategically grouping themselves into four teams was a site to behold. Children also joining the distribution was golden. The excesise which took place 3pm on 19th September 2021 made a memorable impact in the minds of the participants who gave reports of their experiences and inspiration.

First on the list to give report of his team was Anthony Abakporo, who said: We met three women in front of a close selling stuff and making hair. A particularly elderly woman refused to collect the flyer. But was compelled to after the purpose of the flyer was made known to her.
She lamented of the situation and spoke about cases that are bringing shame to homes. Then she agreed to read the contents as we walked into the close.
There we met another elderly man who wailed about the sorry state of addiction amongst youths.
While speaking he started crying profusely, we consoled him and he prayed for us. Thanking us for initiating plan in such a time as this.
On our way out of the close the old woman who didn’t want to receive our flyer asked for more so she can give to her ward.

Deacon Daniel Edafe leader of one of the team also delivered his report saying: A man complained to us of how things had gotten worse than before. The man spoke of how the few drugs that was known in the past had been increased to many substance.

Ejiro speaking for his team said: a woman called us back after reading our flyer and asked what we would do about the Aboki opposite Tantaliser 21 Road, She encourage us to do something about the drug dealer who publicly sell his dangerous products to boys and girls everyday.
She spoke of how he would be picked by law enforcement agencies and few days he is back again on same spot.
She pleaded that United Breeds Foundation look into the local drug kingpin.

Jonathan also speaking for his team said: at A close 3rd avenue (immigration office) one of the officers there loved the organisation and said to make efforts in getting the federal government to support this kind of NGO. As the substance addiction level is alarming. He said Lagos state alone has more than 1 million Prostitutes and that when he was at the bother. Many leave for prostitution. He also mentioned Kano state as a drug saturated area where the government can partner with United Breeds Foundation to explore.
He loved UBF and wished us well.

Michael Tesinro Onuwaje who also spoke for his team said: people who knew me as a “drunken Master” were excited to see me campaigning against hard drugs and harmful vices. Covering 311 where we used to do all the shameful substance use was a good one for me.”
People collected many flyers from us to help distribute it.

All these events inspired the leadership to continue the door to door sensitisation excesise one hour everyday with the available youths. To enable the NGO cover a large space and get many involved in this first of it’s kind walk.

Kindly Support us financially to enable us handle these huge tasks ahead of us. Thank you!

It’s been a hive of collaborations, curtsey visits and meetings for United Breeds Foundation on the Walk Against Hard Drugs and Harmful Vices.

Rev. Olabanji Oladipo the Senior Pastor of Love’s Domain received UBF team on 19th September 2021. The Clergy who has been a friend of the organization since their paths crossed. Introduced the Team to his members and spoke of the walk. He also sited a scene he and his family saw on their way to church this morning.
Saying: he saw a guy take off his shirts publicly and began to react unpleasantly. This and more are reasons Rev Olabanji wants his followers to be part of the walk. The set man had already supported the organization financially and pledged to support in other areas to see the walk make meaningful impact.

UBF team after addressing the members, appreciated the man of God for his constant support and unconditional love.

In the spirit of brotherly love, the Red Cross in collaboration with Justice Development and Peace Centre, of Holy Family Catholic Church 22 road Festac Town; had a meeting with United Breeds Foundation in their facility today 19th September 2021 in view of Walk Against Hard Drugs and Harmful Vices.

It is no news of the natural zeal for the Catholic Church to be Humanitarian. Their significant role in education, health, welfare and other good works towards humanity is evident world wide.

The church embraced the walk in totality. They proffered ideas to make the walk a success. This is what Jesus Christ expects from His church.
Jesus Christ went about doing good and same is expected of every Christian.

The organizations unanimously agreed to bring on board other departments in the church. Paper works and talks are on for proper alignment. UBF is happy with this development as is a big partnership that would further boost the capacity of the walk.

It’s been days of various activities for United Breeds Foundation “A HARM REDUCTION ORGANISATION” in their plans for Walk Against Hard Drugs and Harmful Vices. Next in line is the door to door sensitization exercise. The Organization is distributing three thousand (3000) copies of flyers in the first phase of her one on one publicity strategy.
The idea is to ensure everyone is carried along in the drug abuse campaign advocacy. Not all parents have access to social media where UBF had made great effort in publicity.

As well, many can be reached in Amuwo Odofin through various medium. This has also been part of why UBF is knocking on doors. To encourage their ward in joining the fight against drug abuse in the local government.
The team would be covering 3rd Avenue axis on 19th September 2021. Other Avenues would follow accordingly. Banners are going up sooner too and a final motorcade publicity 30th September.

By 3pm no African Time as is popularly said at United Breeds Foundation. Youths will assemble to do this noble work.
Every interested youth in Amuwo Odofin that wishes to join the door to door sensitisation excesise is welcomed. As plans for lite refreshments is made available for all noble distributor.
Take off point is 3rd Avenue E close house 5, Festac Town.
Time is 3pm

United Breeds Foundation team met with the DPO Festac Police Station on 14th September 2021. To further discuss plans for the forthcoming walk against hard drugs and harmful vices. The Organization had earlier two weeks ago met with the Area Commander on same subject.
United Breeds Foundation believes that the need for security presence is pertinent. Meetings are also on going with other law enforcement agencies, all in the bid to make October 1st auspicious.
Fighting drugs had over the years been that of the law enforcement agencies. United Breeds Foundation in turn thinks civilians should join in the fight, as the effects and damages hits harder on civilians.
These and more inspired the much talked about walk.

Mr Balogun was elated at the drive of UBF and spoke extensively on how parents contributed to this drug abuse Pandemic situation we see in Amuwo Odofin. He loved the door to door sensitisation to encourage parents to come join speak up against these vices.
He was of the view that if we do notting now, it will get worse.
UBF team also discussed the young girl who was under influence of one of these substances. At 1st avenue axis of festac and killed a young man with a razor blade cut on his stomach. The DPO wondered at such heart and act and shared how he took up the matter to ensure justice is served.

Our society is faced with what can consume us all if we do nothing. Imagine a 15 year old boy trying to share minerals with his peer not knowing substance is in the drink?
And because he is always not interested to join them in their ways after much pressure. They decide to give him the drink without letting him know it had been drugged?
Think every way on these substance matters and you shall see need to fight harder against hard drugs and harmful vices.

At 10:27am, 12th September 2021 was incoming call of the humble music star Faze.
Inviting United Breeds Foundation team for a meeting with him. The busy icon had a meeting with our team in a facility where he is billed to perform.

The R & B star was joyed at the initiative and pledges his support for a better society. As he had said before in his heat song : ” I get ability, nah we own the society promoting peace and unity”

The man is ready to join forces with United Breeds Foundation to promote peace and unity.
The heavy metal sound from the speakers in the event place where we met was so loud that we couldn’t have coherent conversation.

Faze or Faze Alone as many call him had in our previous conversation stressed the idea of empowering the youths. He was of the view that we focus on empowering them (engage) because transformation is not enough for the idle mind and man.
He was concerned of a one time rap guru whose battling with addiction at the moment.
His busy schedules have not hindered him to see us and pass his message to the youths and every well-meaning Nigerian who desires to see this drug abuse alarming situation reduced to barest minimum.
