The Center for Economic and Human Rights Advancement (CEHRA)

-


HOW WE STARTED.                   
  The Center for Economic and Human Rights Advancement (CEHRA) was formed in June 2017, it started as a small group of persons who shared the feelings, yearnings and aspiration of Nigerians who have suffered series of rights violations across the nation, hence the decision for the formation of the platform committed to equity, justice and the rule of law. It later blossomed into a full- fledged Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) whose Membership is open to all regardless of political, ethnic, racial or religious background.                        Today, CEHRA has branches in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Kwara and Kaduna. These branches are "CEHRA Pioneer Branches" (CPB). However, effort is is currently on to have our branch in every state of the federation.                           In Lagos, we have Idimu-powerline, Ijedodo, Obadore, Ikotun, Igando, Ipaja, Morogbo, Isale-Odo, Alagbado Central, Baruwa, Agodo, Alagbado, Abaranje, Ayobo-Anisere, Idimu, Ikorodu, Alake and Abesan Estate units as "CEHRA Pioneer Units" (CPU). More units are coming up as it id our intention to have unit in every area of this state.


AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
The aims and objectives of the CEHRA shall continue to be as follows:

(1) To empower people to understand and exercise their rights and responsibilities as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the African Charter of Human and People’s Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through necessary training and programs.

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
