… Elife Academy contends at Mentoring Master class in Lagos
By Adébọ́lá Adéwará
In a renewed endeavour to inspire Nigerians to embrace their potential and rightful positions in society, Elife Academy, a Nigerian motivational organisation known for publishing Elife magazine and presenting Mentoring Master class talk-show online, has emphasised the critical distinction between mentorship and parenting, noting that a nation that overlooks mentorship is risking standing still or regressing in a world where others are on the run.
The academy underscores that failing to differentiate between mentorship and parenting will inevitably lead to a future generation lacking in knowledge, wisdom, and insight.
Given this confusion, the prevailing perception of Nigeria’s younger generation as lacking in seriousness and depth is unsurprising.
Elife Academy argues that the remedy does not lie in seeking opportunities abroad; a lizard in Nigeria cannot become a crocodile in America. One cannot transform into something entirely different by changing surroundings.
