Children's Day In Nigeria: What Does It Mean To The Children ? by Nobody: 12:11am On May 27, 2013
Children's Day is recognized on various days in many places around the world, to honor children globally. It was first proclaimed by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in 1925 and then established universally in 1954 to protect children working long hours in dangerous circumstances and allow all children access to an education. The UN General Assembly recommended that all countries should establish a Universal Children's Day on an "appropriate" day. Major global variants include a Universal Children's Day on April 30, by United Nations recommendation.

Children's Day is often celebrated on other days as well. International Day for Protection of Children, observed in many countries as Children's Day on June 1 since 1950, was established by the Women's International Democratic Federation on its congress in Moscow (22 November 1949) and was strongly bound to Stalin`s "peace propaganda" policy .

Universal Children's Day takes place annually on November 20. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children.

My Thoughts On What It Should Hold For Children In The country
Its quite clear that the objectives and goals for setting up the Children's day is hugely demanding and should not be neglected. These goals set by the world at large are based on the rights, for the good and betterment of children globally.
Education
What do you think about the level, quantity and quality of Education partaining to Children in the country. I don't what to say about it. I mean its shameful that most of the children in the country are still under standard with respect to education in the country. I don't know how bad it will be to generalise on this...but its still obvious. One can be poised to ask why there is a large difference between an American kid and a Nigerian?
Its about education...quality one. Like I said, this is the children's day. As we celebrate it, let us the government, parents, teachers, guardians not forget what it holds for them.
Fundamental Rights
The Children's Day also reminds us of rights of the children all over the nation irrespective of class, tribe, religion etc. Maltreatment, Abuse of the type, little or no education, etc violates those rights.
Insights And Knowledge About The Country
They are the future leaders... They need insights and knowledge about the country.
Crisis In The Country
Let us remember that the crisis in the country has resulted to deaths of many children. Its a day for compensation, consolidation, love, hope, life anew to the children and also to the family or guardians of the deceased children.
The Big Day
Like I said its just my thought on what the Childrends Day holds for children in the country... What do you think...whats your own thought...are there any positive changes the Children Day celebration has brought to the country?

Happy CHLDRENS DAY Celebration To All Kids, And Citizens All Over The Nation...Its a great day, lets keep the love moving...if you have a kid-brother,sister, cousin.. Give a shout out to them and wish them love

Germany
In Germany, during the Cold War,
Children's Day (Kindertag) was
handled quite differently in West
Germany and East Germany.
While East Germany (GDR)
celebrated International
Children's Day (Internationaler
Kindertag) on June 1, West
Germany (FRG) celebrated
Universal Children's Day
(Weltkindertag) on September
20.
The customs of Children's Day
were also significantly different
in West and East Germany. In East
Germany, the holiday was
introduced in 1950, and was
from then held on a yearly basis
for the children. On this day of
the year, children would typically
be congratulated and would
receive presents from their
parents and did special activities
in school, such as field trips and
the like.
In West Germany, Children's Day
Universal Children's Day laid its
emphasis not on games and
presents, but more on political
efforts to strengthen children's
rights. See Jugendamt.
After the reunification of East
and West Germany
occurred in 1990, Universal
Children's Day has become
official for whole Germany. This,
however, was not accepted by
large parts of the East German
population. Most parents still
celebrate Children's Day on the
former date of June 1, and public
events pertaining to Children's
Day take place on September 20.

to the children from wealthy homes, it's a day for merry making, visit cinemas, eatery, and the likes.
for the ones from poor homes, it's going to be a day like every other Saturdays, stay indoor all days, roll Tyre on the street, football playing, etc.
