What Is Your FECA Story and How It Connects to Passion? (Madam Marriot)
90 Views
Madam Marriot is one of FECA Nigeria's oldest members, joining in 1995 at the first chapter: FECA Calabar, where FECA began at Federal Government Girls College Calabar. She later relocated to Zaria, serving as FCN Coordinator at Ahmadu Bello University, Northern Regional Secretary, and the first National Financial Secretary. She calls herself an accidental teacher whose passion is agriculture, poultry production.
"For all I did in FECA, I did it with passion. When FECA came to my school, I hoped it wouldn't backslide—I needed a place beyond church. I focused on serving God, not offices."
"As Financial Secretary, someone said I didn't keep proper records, so I learned to manage money and write clearly for audits—everything unto God."
"If you manage well, God gives you yours. FECA service helped because we were passionate. Our outreaches produced good teachers. Parents gave us their children to teach; we chat on social media. It helped me understand young people's minds. I became a teacher, but my passion is agriculture—planting and watching it grow."
How Do You Feel After Marrying a Sister in FECA?
This was one of the most interesting sessions during the FOSM session where senior members talked in a panel. When Papa Dee asked one senior member this question, it was a very "vawulent" question.
His name is Engr. Arino Ogbede. He joined FECA in 2006. His home chapter is FECA Benin 1. He served in various capacities in FECA Benin zone: FCN Coordinator at UNIBEN, External Coordinator, President, Zonal Coordinator, and others. He is the only employee in his engineering company promoted yearly.
He said he never dated a lady or had a girlfriend. He grew up in a family with no females, attended a boys' school, and studied engineering—a male-dominated field. Relating to girls was hard. His illustration: "When two guys talk, one says he got a haircut; the other says OK. But a lady wanting water says she worked in a pure water factory. A guy can't decode it."
His first proposal to Sister XYZ, a FECAite, got "NO." He asked another sister for advice. She said: become friends first—be nice, call her, talk about her interests. He did.
Sister XYZ asked, "Why are you being nice?" He replied, "I'm just trying to be a good friend." Later, he proposed again; she said YES.
They married and are happy with children.
