In 1964, May 27th, was set aside as the Children's Day, in Nigeria. From thaat year, till date, the Nigerian Children are celebrated every year on May 27th. The day is used to draw attention or create awareness about the needs, challenges or problems that children face. The day is also used to commemorate, honour and treasure the greatest gift of the Almighty, the priceless possession on earth, the children.
The day, May 27th every year in Nigeria, in my thinking offers the old breeds, the older generation of Nigerians, a huge opportunity to reflect about their own lives as Children also. This action, which enables the adults of the present to recollect their own days as the little children of yester years, is also capable of creating stronger ties between the generations: young, younger and old.
