In particular, we are targeting parents and organizations involved in providing parental responsibilities, as well as governments form part of the key groups that are being sensitized by TERRIFIC HEADLINES to play proper roles in taking Nigeria and the younger generation to the ‘Next Level’. This noble objective conforms to the very pertinent issues raised in the attached proposal as a unique and innovative idea that seeks to educate the citizenry to play greater premium to preventive, over and above reactive options.

• ’The downfall of the family unit in society is one of the most tragic things facing mankind. Why?  This is evidently because the institution of marriage and family is generally not held in the esteem that God meant for it to be!’’ — Jonathan L. Perz
• Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. — Proverbs22:6
• The best thing any man can leave behind is an example of a life well-lived.  A life well-lived is a life lived in absolute submission to the will of God. – Olukoya
• ’The family is the nucleus of civilization and the basic social unit of society. Aristotle wrote that the family is nature’s established association for the supply of mankind’s everyday wants. Research clearly shows that the institution of the family is the first form of community and government’’ – Michael Novak
• ‘’No bridge is too broken to rebuild, no past too difficult to overcome, no conflict too complex to solve’’ – Kofi Annan
• ‘’Ultimately, the happiness of any society begins with the well being of the families that live in it.’’ –Kofi Annan
• The downfall of the family unit in society is one of the most tragic things facing mankind. The destruction of the family unit all begins with the destruction of what starts a family – the marriage of a man and a woman. – Jonathan L. Perz
• We believe that even if security agencies exterminate all criminals today, others being raised, and that have been raised on faulty platforms will eventually show up, hence the need to tackle the problem from the roots. – Terrific Headlines
• ’When a marriage is working and successful, it is because the man and woman involved are obeying God’s instructions for marriage. Where the marriage is not working, it is because the covenant is being violated either by the man or the woman or both of them. God is never at fault.’’– DK. Olukoya
• None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” – Mother Teresa
• ‘’When people talk about successful societies, they must not forget that good family background and spousal relationships are considerable influences of successes that they enjoy today…….TERRIFIC HEADLINES

WHY ARE FAMILIES & RELATIONSHIPS CRASHING?  An answer that covers this broadly is the fact that lack of misunderstanding of the values associated with the first institution created by God who ordained the marriage of a man and a woman.’ Jonathan L. Perz, a United States preacher wrote that: ’The family was God’s first institution, but today, man seems to think it is the worst institution. In the beginning, God created man and woman and joined them together for life. It is believed that civilization has played a huge dysfunctional role in damaging what God put in place with even priests liberalizing the Scriptures to do violence to commandments of the Creator.  This development is indeed a very dangerous one because the world will never know peace and sustainable progress for as long as humanity continues to erode all values associated with the family.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING FOR AFRICA: I appeal to our young people that the situation may not be as hopeless as you may think. All you need is patience, quite determination and the willingness to build. In 2011, a major global investment firm identified Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey (abbreviated as MINT) as four countries likely to become part of the ten biggest global economies by the year 2050, because their large populations means there would be many young people and a strong workforce. Nigeria’s numerous rich natural resources plus the oil and the well-regulated banking system, make it a good candidate for a strong economy. My dear young people, why not learn a vocation in addition to your degree and start your own business? With Chinese products gradually becoming expensive, Africa can be the next factory to the world to replace China. We can become the world’s solar energy headquarters if we could develop cheaper solar panels using our local materials. With so much land available, farming for export is a wonderful opportunity. Our young people should consider converting the internet and social networking sites to forums for sharing best practices with their overseas counterparts on how to modernize artisan professions like building, mechanic, tailoring, textile design, farming, metalwork, etc. The world is eagerly waiting for our products in the global market.—Dr. DK Olukoya.
