The posts of Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Financial Secretary among others were deferred for bye-election within the next two weeks for obvious reasons, as directed by the National Secretariat of the association.
In an acceptance remark, the State Chairman of NAWOJ, Lilian Okonkwo-Ogabu, pledged to build better development for the association, assuring that her re-elected leadership team will carry all members along in the programmes of the body in the state. She however, urged them to be committed to the activities of the group, so as to reposition it for growth.
Ogabu enjoined members to ensure prompt meeting attendance, regular payment of dues as at when necessary.
According to her, “I will certainly improve my administration from where I could not do well in my first tenure. I plead with all members to contribute towards building a lasting NAWOJ in the state for greater productivity”.
Meanwhile, The National President of NAWOJ, Mrs Ifeyinwa Omowole, has enjoined women journalists to be more involved in the happenings in Nigeria and help promote lasting peace, unity of purpose and enduring development through well-refined reportage of events.
Omowole who spoke at the 6th triennial delegates conference of NAWOJ in Port Harcourt last Friday, charged women journalists to be committed to the course of ensuring relative peace in the world, pointing out that, as media practitioners they should report things that are capable of promoting peace instead of violence in Nigeria.
According to her, “we should work towards restoring stability in Nigeria via  our reportage of events for blissful Nigeria”.
Omowole, however, cautioned journalists, especially the women folk to always contribute their quotas as nation-builder whenever they are opportuned to cover events of national interest, she appealed to the government to encourage journalists in every facet to enable them discharge their duties efficiently.
Mrs Omowole advised state NAWOJ executive and members, to be proactive in the discharge of their duties without fear or favour and ensure that only the truth thrives for fruitful results.
Also speaking at the occasion, the General Manager of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, publishers of The Tide newspaper, Mr Vincent Ake, called on journalists to help foster unity, peace and development in Nigeria instead of destroying it with fake news, especially on the social media, which he described as unhealthy and unacceptable as far as media practice is concerned.

The Wise Woman

The wise woman builds her home. Mothers are supposed to live exemplary lives. The roles of mothers in the building of the modern Christian home cannot be overemphasized.
The function of the mother is to help the man build the home. She is a helper. A helper to the husband when the man is not doing well. It is important for the wise woman to assist when the man is not able to meet up with the items needed in the home.
A wise woman needs to reference God first and then the husband. Also the wise woman should respect her husband.
Caring for her own children as well as others is very crucial.
Do not despise children from other mothers. Discipline the child who is going the wrong way.
Ensure family bonding, show love and don’t discriminate. Connection with children is very important, especially the females. Find out who is her friend. Also find out the kind of lives they live. Caution, counsel and guide so that they make good partners.
Teaching children the dos and donts should start from birth. Inculcate the word of God in them so that when they grow, will not depart from it.
From the Scripture, some women influenced their families positively. Virgin Mary influenced the world, she never destroyed herself hence she gave birth to Jesus Christ.
Elizabeth, despite her age, God blessed her as she waited patiently.
A wise should curb favouritism in the family and love children equally. Whether a child is your biological child or not, it is necessary to show love equally. Reprimanding the children should be the function of both man and wife.
