Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, has granted a scholarship to Priscilla to pursue her dream of becoming a female pilot, enabling her to chase her childhood aspirations

Quick facts about the Priscilla Scholarship and my interpretation

By The Southern Post news

 According to the Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Akwa Ibom State, Comrade Ini Ememobong on Facebook, THE SOUTHERN POST reports that the commissioner explicitly stated that Priscilla never give up on her childhood dream of becoming a pilot.

Fact- A female student of Girls High School Eket named Priscilla, sees helicopters and airplanes taking off and landing at the airstrip, close to her school,  and she imagines herself flying them, someday. 

Interpretation- Environment matters. We are generally products of our environment because it plants some impressions subconsciously on our minds. Childhood dreams are important.

Fact- Priscilla shares her vision with colleagues, who tell her being a pilot isn’t a woman’s thing.

Interpretation- Your friends and colleagues may not believe in your dreams. Be careful who you tell your dreams.

Fact- She obtained a Higher National Diploma in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology, but still desired to be a pilot.

Interpretation- While chasing your dreams, get educated. Education is a strong foundation to build your dreams.

Fact- After her HND, in 2020, she applied for admission at the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology, Zaria but they didn’t invite her for the evaluation examinations, until three years later.

Interpretation- All good things take time, some take a short time to manifest, and others take longer. Wait with hope, and trust in God.

Fact- when the admission came, she had no money to process it, but she was determined to attend the school. She reached out to Oga Yene, who publicised her appeal.

Interpretation- When in need, seek help from the right quarters. Until you seek help, you may never know where help can come from, but be careful of where you seek help from.

Fact- Priscilla’s appeal catches the attention of the First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, HE Pastor(Mrs) Patience Umo Eno, who drew her dear husband’s attention and sought his help for her(a person she had not known or met before).

Interpretation- when God wants to help you, HE will raise strategic and powerful channels to draw help. Of course, when a good wife makes a demand of her husband, you can consider it done.

Fact- Governor Umo Eno dispatches a team to find and bring Priscilla to him. He interacts with her and announces that he will not only sponsor her and two others through Aviation College but also called critical industry players to secure their post-training.

Interpretation - on the day of your blessing, you may not be the one hustling your source, they may contact and wait for you.

Finally, childhood dreams are valid; don’t let anyone discourage you; keep chasing your dreams, but get educated; when in need, seek help from the right sources.

To the glory of God, It ended in praise, courtesy of our listening Governor, HE Pastor Umo Eno.

I am glad that I was a witness, congratulations to Priscilla and co. Indeed it’s a golden era. ie
