Nigerian singer Chidinma has encouraged youth to pursue their dreams.
The “Kedike” star made the remarks on Friday while addressing over 600 young people at Hana International School who attended this year’s Annual Youth Camp organised by Reach A Hand, Uganda.
Sharing her own experience growing up with her sisters who have been very pivotal in helping her realize her dreams, the 26-year-old singer reiterated the need to protect and empower the girl child to achieve their dreams.
“Do not allow anyone make you think that you are less,” she said. “You can be anything you want to be in this world. Let nobody tell you otherwise.”
She concluded her inspirational talk with an eagerly-awaited performance of some of her popular songs including “Kedike” and “Fallen in Love”, much to the excitement of the youthful crowd.
Held under the theme “Get Up Speak Out”, this year’s Youth Camp also attracted young people from other countries like Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya among others. The week-long camp saw the youth equipped with knowledge on skills development, menstrual hygiene, HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, child marriage, financial literacy, body changes, hygiene and sanitation through focus group discussions.
