1.0 INTRODUCTION

Education as a universal currency everywhere holds the same value. And

it has never delivered less of its benefits, especially when it is adequately

appropriated.

Nevertheless in this technologically infested society, teens find it difficult

and less of concern to engage in profitable academic exercise. It was in response

to this vicious circle that Interspeeches International, Inc. a need driven

organisation thats interested in unlocking the potentials of teens, partnered with

the Agape Force Ministry, an arm of CGMi, to hold the Maiden Edition of the

SmartKids Spelling Bee (SKSB). The SKSB is an exclusive trademark of

Interspeeches International, Inc. in its drive to celebrate kids with uncommon

intelligence and passion for academic excellence.

2.0 PROJECT ACTIVATION

The AFM Ejiyere Zonal President, Raphael A. Oboh, signed interest for

the SKSB Project when it was introduced to him. Mr. Raphel after consulting

with the program committee agreed to sponsor the Project. Though the project

faced some challenges as to proper communication between the SKSB Project

Team and the AFM Camp Committee. Nevertheless these setbacks didnt do

much harm to project with the tremendous success that was recorded.

The AFM Ejiyere Camp which was held at the James Wetch Grammar

School, Emevor, Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria. The program lasted for a week,

beginning Monday 25th

August through 1st Sept. 2014 with the SKSB taking the

fifth day (Saturday 30th

August, 2014) of the program.

A total of 27 teenagers registered for the Bee, on the basis of branches.

And wasnt evenly distributed based on Provinces.

SKSB Executive Director, Mrs. Jane Seth Agbarah, who holds a B.A in

French from the prestigious Covenant University, Ota Nigeria., doubled as the

Chief Pronouncer for this particular Project. And Kelvin Osigbmen was

nominated as the Time Judge.

3.0 BEE DAY

The SKSB Team arrived Camp at 4:30pm, and the project kick-off at

about 5pm with 27contestants after a brief registration session and reading of

the rules by the Chief Pronouncer.

The bee featured 9 High Schools, 2 Junior and 8 undergraduate students,

watched under the cover of over 400 audiences and in the close eye of the

VOA Cameras. The bee resulted into 13rounds rounds. The first and second

round followed the order of the tags. But at the third rounds, as fall-off was

recorded it was now in the order of the outstanding tags.

The teens exhausted over 500 words. The first round was a consolation

and so was free for all. Therefore there was no elimination. Nevertheless

following the last three (3) standing, the bee became intense as to determine the

spellebrity as teens beat the imagination of the judges. The winning word was

spelt by a 16years old High School student Ruth Davidson of Odu Province

(Potters House), as she spelt the word, eminent with a careful knowledge of homophones.

Each round sustains the interest of the audience with clapping and cheers.

However those who were eliminated express deep pains with tears and

emotional feelings, but promise themselves to come back next season.

4.0 PROJECT IMPACT

Spelling for fun is a profitable adventure. Kids with cold passion for

academic excellence, saw a great deal of reasons to opt for change and join a

number of their friends in the next edition, and were enthusiastic to make the

commitment.

5.0 OBSERVATIONS

1. The Prizes are to be upgraded come next edition.

2. The interview session wasnt complete and some important session of

the program wasnt captured.

3. The time was too short for the program.

6.0 CONCLUSION

Christian teens are the largest percent target of Satan, as he presumes

terror for his kingdom, if they are allowed to grow in the hand of the Lord.

Agape Camp was a great opportunity for teens to fashion their lives within the

claws of the Lord, our God, His Purpose and Will. As the teens leave the Camp

to their various destinations, they ever wish for another event of this amazing

class, The Complete You.

Holes in the Middle

The Survivors They were once afraid. Coming alive from a building were

tens of your friends were crashed, is an incredible story.

These ones survived some test of mettle of Words, every

one of them with one desire to enter into the SKSB Hall of

Fame. But fate and refined confidence set them apart.

Rewarding Excellence IFEANYI Precious left the stage with smiles, as he

saw his Bronze Medals gradually placed about his

neck. He could barely anticipate the reward of

excellence. But it was worthy of his performance,

leaving his colleagues to race it out.

Turning Point

Unbelievable! It was against the belief of team that He mounted the podium,

with trace back to this life in the past and with little or no seriousness. Nobody

would have believed He would have made it down the Second Place. But GIFT

against all odds made his team understand that life is a choice. For once in his

life he discovered that good stories can be written about him. Is in indeed an

incredible story for downtown kid who has not tasted the intellectual exercise

for over 3years, dropping in its Juniors to survive in the midst of

Undergraduates. It was a surprise pack when He was left with the 17years old

Ruth, though he missed the deceptive word, Recipe as he spelt, recipy

making a total of 60points as the Silver Medal winner. OYIBO Ovie Gift is an

exceptional boy with a bright future, a very high IQ, for academic excellence. In

fact Ovie can do anything worthwhile with his life. And only Him can do it

better.

I didnt Believe It! I thought, was the testament of many that were interviewed. It still seems like a

dream for many concerning the life changing story of Ovie. But Ovies story has

given many teenagers, the hope in Christ. Indeed No Jesus, No SWAG.

Everything we ever wish to be is in Christ. Continue reading

THE HIGHPOINT 16years Ruth DAVIDSON showed great composure from the beginning of

the bee to the end. Her unexplainable excitement is captured whenever

she approached the microphone. One notable thing about this kid

according to AFM Zonal President is that she spells for fun and she is

exceptionally brilliant, without much carefulness with her supersmart

nature emerged the Champion of the SKSB and became the first kid to

enter into the SKSB Hall of Fame and the SKSB Spellebrity by spelling

the winning word, eminent making her to have a total of 65points. She

never failed any of the words. Ruth victory earned her Province, UDU,

winner of the Bee , while Ruth have a Gold Medal about her neck as a

mark of her distinctive ability in getting through words with

understanding.
