Dear Amina,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It has been such a long time since we last spoke, and I often think about the wonderful memories we shared. I know you’ve always been curious about the traditions here, so I thought I would share with you the detailed process of a traditional marriage in our community. Perhaps it will warm your heart and make you feel a little closer to home.
In our community, marriage is not just a union between two individuals, but a joining of two families. The process is elaborate and deeply rooted in our customs. It all begins with the “introduction ceremony,” locally known as knocking on the door. During this stage, the groom’s family visits the bride’s home to express their intentions. They come bearing gifts such as kola nuts, drinks, and sometimes some symbolic money. This gesture is a sign of respect and seriousness.
If the bride’s family accepts, a date is set for the main engagement. Before this, there are several meetings between both families to discuss various matters, including the bride price and the list of items the groom’s family is expected to provide. These items often include traditional cloth, jewelry, foodstuffs, and sometimes livestock, depending on the family’s customs.
The engagement itself is a joyful occasion, attended by relatives, friends, and community elders. The ceremony usually begins with prayers and blessings from both families. The groom’s family presents the agreed items, and the bride’s family formally accepts them. There is a lot of singing, dancing, and sharing of traditional meals.
One of the most touching parts is when the bride is asked if she agrees to the marriage. Traditionally, she is brought out by her friends or aunts, and she may be shy or pretend to be reluctant this is all part of the fun! Once she gives her consent, everyone rejoices and the couple is blessed by the elders.
After the engagement, preparations for the wedding begin. On the wedding day, there is usually a church or mosque ceremony for those who are religious, followed by a grand reception where everyone celebrates with food, music, and dancing late into the night.
These customs are cherished in our community because they not only unite two people, but bring together families, friends, and neighbors in harmony and joy. I hope this gives you a vivid picture of how we celebrate love here.
I miss you greatly and hope you can visit soon to witness these beautiful traditions in person. Take care of yourself and write back when you can.
With lots of love,
Chisom

DEBATE SPEECH : SOCIAL MEDIA AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION HAS DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD
Mr. Chairman, Panel of Judges, Accurate Timekeeper, Co-debaters, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good day. I stand before you as the Chief Speaker against the motion which states that “Social Media as a Means of Communication has Done More Harm than Good.”
Social media, as we all know, refers to platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter (now X), Instagram, TikTok and others that have revolutionized how we interact, communicate, and connect with people across the globe. While I agree that there are some challenges associated with social media, it would be highly unfair to ignore its overwhelming benefits. Let me show you why the good it brings far outweighs the harm.
Firstly, social media has bridged the communication gap across distances. Gone are the days when people had to wait for weeks or months to get letters from loved ones. Today, with a single tap on WhatsApp or Messenger, you can reach someone across the world in seconds. It has enabled families to stay in touch, long-lost friends to reconnect, and professionals to collaborate across countries. In emergencies, social media has become a lifeline for quick communication and coordination.
Secondly, social media has become a powerful tool for education and enlightenment. Students and teachers now have easy access to videos, tutorials, and discussions through platforms like YouTube, Telegram groups, and educational Facebook pages. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, social media served as a vital educational tool when schools were shut down. Without it, many students would have lost an entire year of learning.
Thirdly, social media empowers people to speak up. Through platforms like Twitter and TikTok, individuals can voice their opinions and advocate for social change. Campaigns such as #BlackLivesMatter, #EndSARS, and #MeToo gained worldwide attention, not through traditional media, but through social media. It has given a voice to the voiceless and helped correct many injustices.
Fourthly, social media promotes entrepreneurship and job creation. Small businesses and young entrepreneurs use Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to showcase their products, attract customers, and grow their brands. Many people today earn a living as influencers, digital marketers, content creators, and online business owners, all thanks to social media.
Now, to the concerns about harm. Yes, social media can be addictive, and sometimes misinformation spreads. However, should we blame the tool or the user? Fire can cook food or burn a house, it depends on how it’s used. What we need is digital literacy and responsible use, not the condemnation of the entire platform.
In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, social media has transformed communication for the better. It connects people, educates, empowers voices, and drives economic progress. Instead of focusing on the few negatives, let us embrace and improve this powerful tool. I strongly oppose the motion that social media has done more harm than good.
Thank you.

It was the middle of the rainy season in the quiet village of Umuoka. The clouds were darker than usual, and the rains fell in long, heavy torrents that turned the earth into mud and the roads into rivers. But it wasn't the rain that troubled the villagers; it was the stories that followed it.
Old Mama Ifeoma, the oldest woman in Umuoka, had gathered the young children around the village square one evening and warned them about the swollen river that ran just beyond the farmlands. "The river is angry this year," she said, her voice deep and serious. "It will claim anyone who dares to cross it carelessly."
The children listened with wide eyes, and most went home afraid but thankful. Everyone knew Mama Ifeoma’s warnings often came true. She had lived through two floods and once predicted a snake infestation that almost ruined the yam harvest. But not everyone paid attention.
Chuka, a bold and curious fifteen-year-old, laughed off Mama Ifeoma’s warnings. “She’s just trying to scare us,” he told his friends. “That river has always been high during the rains. What’s new?”
Chuka was determined to prove her wrong. One afternoon, he decided to take a shortcut to his uncle’s house, which meant crossing the very river Mama Ifeoma had warned them about. He reached the riverbank and saw the current rushing faster than he had ever seen. Still, his pride pushed him forward.
He stepped into the water slowly, gripping a long stick to feel his way. At first, the water was knee-deep. Then waist-deep. Then it suddenly surged. In an instant, the stick slipped from his hand, and the current dragged him away. He screamed for help, but no one was around.
Luckily, Emeka, a hunter who had heeded Mama Ifeoma’s warning and set traps farther from the river, heard Chuka’s cries. He rushed over, threw him a rope, and managed to pull him to safety.
When they returned to the village, soaked and shaken, Chuka’s pride was gone. He went straight to Mama Ifeoma’s hut and knelt before her. “I should have listened,” he said. “You were right.”
Mama Ifeoma only nodded. “Warnings are not curses, my son. They are blessings in disguise. You were lucky this time.”
From that day on, Chuka became the loudest voice echoing her warnings. He told the story of how he almost drowned to anyone who would listen, especially children. And every time he did, he ended with the same words Mama Ifeoma had spoken to him. “To be forewarned is to be forearmed.”
QUESTION 3.
Water is often called the source of life, yet ironically, it can also be the source of severe illness and even death when contaminated. In many communities, especially in parts of Nigeria and other developing regions, water-borne diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and hepatitis A continue to claim lives, particularly those of young children and the elderly. The tragedy is that these illnesses are highly preventable with the right practices and commitment from both individuals and authorities.
First and foremost, access to clean water must be a priority. Many people still rely on unsafe streams, stagnant rainwater, or unprotected wells for drinking and cooking. Local governments must invest in boreholes, water purification systems, and regular water quality monitoring. Even in households, simple practices such as boiling water, using chlorine tablets, or installing basic filters can drastically reduce the risk of infection.
Another critical factor is personal hygiene and public health education. Many people are unaware of how their daily habits influence the spread of disease. Washing hands after using the toilet and before preparing meals, properly storing drinking water, and avoiding cooking with dirty utensils can go a long way in maintaining health. Community outreach programs should be set up to teach these vital routines, especially in rural and underserved areas.
Proper sanitation also plays a huge role. In places where open defecation is still practiced, there is a high likelihood that feces will find its way into water bodies. Governments and NGOs should work together to construct public toilets and enforce sanitation regulations. In schools and marketplaces, accessible and well-maintained latrines should be a basic requirement. Waste disposal systems must also be improved to prevent waste from contaminating local water sources.
In addition, quick medical attention and awareness are essential. People should be educated on the early symptoms of water-borne diseases—such as diarrhea, vomiting, and fever—and encouraged to seek prompt medical help. Delay in treatment often leads to more serious complications or even death, especially in children.
Lastly, communal responsibility cannot be overstated. Every individual must take ownership of their environment. Avoiding illegal waste dumping, reporting broken pipes or leaking septic tanks, and participating in local sanitation projects are simple but powerful ways to contribute.
In conclusion, while water-borne diseases remain a major public health challenge, we have the knowledge and tools to fight them. With a combination of government support, personal responsibility, and community engagement, we can safeguard our families and build healthier, more resilient communities.
