The High Need of Counsel and Counselors in the Society

 

The High Need of Counsel and Counselors in the Society

 

“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors, there is safety – Prov. 11:14.” This is biblical saying, yet it is factual.

 

Our nation Nigeria, has a population of about 200 million people and by extension, the continent of Africa has a population of about 800 million people.

 

Conversatively, if 10% of the population in Nigeria and continent of Africa are professional chaplain-counselors, we will have 200 million chaplain-counselors to attend to people of the nation Nigeria and 800 million in the continent of Africa at large.

 

On the average, there are 100 million people for a single chaplain-counselor to attend to. This gives us an indication of how badly chaplain-counselors are required in Nigeria and the continent of Africa.

 

There is a cry on daily basis that there are no government jobs and employment for people in developing nations such as we have in Africa, but must everybody be employed by government? Are there no opportunities for people to become employers of labour?

 

Here we offer the public an opportunity in Prodam-J Chaplaincy Concept and Institute to be trained to become professional chaplain-counselors to attend to our teaming population in Nigeria and continent of Africa.

 

Of a truth we have people graduating from universities and other higher institutions with degrees in guidance and counseling with no boldness to set up professional counseling centers and outfits, because they lack the needed professional, skills and competence to practice, they usually end up in the classroom.

 

Prodam-J is prepared to offer you this needed entrepreneurship, training and professional development that will make you to become certified professional counselors.

 

Every well trained and equipped professional chaplains are counselors but not all counselors are suitable to become chaplains, unless they are trained in chaplaincy profession.

 

When legal counsel is required, people go for lawyers, when other counsels are needed people should have professional counselors or chaplain-counselors to go to.

 

Where in our societies, nation, in the continent of Africa can we find such professionals and how many are they?

 

I need to let you know here that we have many kinds of counselors in developed nations of the world, and we also are in dare need of them in Nigeria and continent of Africa; so that we will not have leave the stage for untrained, unqualified and uncertified counselors who presently expose people’s lives to danger instead of providing needed safety for them. We are in dare need of the following professional and certified counselors:

 

1.    Family counselors.

2.   Addiction counselors.

3.   Children counselors.

4.   Adolescent and youth counselors.

5.   Marriage counselors.

6.   Relationship counselors.

7.   Elderly/aged people counselors etc

 

To offer needed assistance and professional counseling services to them in their categories to navigate through the difficulties and challenges of life without being destroyed and help them resilient through crisis and disastrous situation.

 

What are you waiting for, come for the needed training to be of beneficial service to people in your community and the nation at large.
