Appreciating the African cultural center and the awards , Barr (Mrs) Efunronke Koku said :
“ Anytime I have any business to do in Brazil, I am always at ease because we share the same culture and traditions which is all about respect and love. The work Oba Adekunle Aderonmu is doing here in Brazil to ensure that our culture and traditions which had been in existence long before the advent of the western world is re- introduced and recognized cannot be quantified in any dimension.
I believe that if our culture and traditions are spread across Brazil and the continent, particularly among the African descendants, they will be able to know their identity, and this in turn will build their self – esteem
I believe the issue of depression and peer pressure among African children in the diaspora spring from “Trying to fit in” into a culture unknown to them. I urge all notable Africans to support the works of Africano Centro Cultural in Brazil. I am supporting the Center with copies of my book “Stand Out or Blend In…. An Insight Into Peer Pressure. This book is an eye opener for Lads and Lasses in identifying the danger zone of peer pressure, and how to abstain. As we’re aware, youths are falling prey to the pressure of illicit/ indecent exposure, and most of this behavioural pattern is traced to peer pressure “ – Says Barrister (Mrs.) Efunronke Omolara Koku , legal Practitioner /Writer / Notary Public of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
