In this concise monologue, Njideka Chika Orji introduces herself, explaining the meanings of her names and her dual affiliation with Nigeria and South Africa. She describes her professional role as an impact MC, emphasizing her skill in engaging audiences and embedding key messages. The core of her message is a passionate advocacy for motherhood and parenting, framing mothers as nation‑builders and parenting as a societal shaping tool. To disseminate this vision, she outlines three active channels: the "Parenting with a Vision" podcast, her recently published book "For the Love of Mothers," and an upcoming talk‑show "Chat with Chika" launching in February, which will discuss issues surrounding motherhood, empowerment, and the long‑term societal impact of how children are raised.

Chapters

Hello world! Hello, my name is Njideka Chika Orji. Njideka means hold on to what you have and do not envy another person. Chika means God is the greatest. I call Nigeria home. I call South Africa home. As an impact MC, I use my unique abilities to keep your audience steadily and actively involved in your activities and also stamp the message of the day in their minds to create a lasting memory. I am very passionate about motherhood and parenting. I create awareness around the role that mothers can play as nation builders, knowing that parenting is a tool that can be used to shape our world. So right now I'm using 3 channels pass this message on. Firstly is my podcast titled Parenting with a Vision. The second is the book I wrote last year. The title is For the Love of Mothers. Then I also launched a talk show titled Chat with Chika, which I'm starting in February this year, where we're going to be talking about lots of issues around motherhood and parenting and, you know, empowering mothers to know that one minute our children are ours, but the next minute they are churned into the society to become someone's boss or teacher or doctor or partner or friend, and the list goes on. Depending on how we've groomed those children, we will be churning in Into the society, adults who will become a curse or a blessing. Which do you choose? Thank you.
