One down

I just saw my first result today, though it was not too good, i still have to thank God. I had a B in my Philosophy. On the other hand, its a good result because many people whose test scores were well above mine eventually had C's in the course. Another good news is that i'm finally settling down in school after all the journey i've been making preparing for my programme on Saturday. It's just enough reasons to thank God for.

I'm Back

It has been quite eventful and busy week for me. After travelling round since last Friday, i'm finally on my way back to school. I think all i need at this juncture is to go and rest. Well, let me just let you in on the places i visited before i go to take a rest in preparation for the loads of work i have ahead. I started with moving from school to Ado-Ekiti, from where i went to Offa, later proceeded to Iree, then the last point of call was Lagos. I'm in Osogbo now, but will be back in school tomorrow. Well yesterday was my birthday, even though it was a stressful day.

How Positive Are You?

My inspiration to write this actually came from a discussion i had with another student in the early hours of today. The guy just represented what i will call the larger percentage of the youths in Nigeria. Seeing a positive thing from another person, instead of appreciating it, this boy was just preaching about the bad side of Nigeria and why someone should not do anything for Nigeria because he believes he has not gotten anything from Nigeria. The reason for this write-up is not to spread another bad news about Nigeria, cos the truth is that the most intelligent brains are in this country. The only thing that can limit you is your power of imagination. This person that believes there is nothing good in Nigeria definitely wont get anything good from Nigeria. Sounds like a curse? Of course not, it's just that you get what you believe you can get. Nigeria is just a name, the people in Nigeria constitute what is called Nigeria.
There is a whole lot of power in what you say, because what you say is what you believe and what you believe is what you get. Nigeria needs you to think positively and build on our strong points, we have been talking about the negative side for a long time and it has yielded no good, then try the positive side which is more likely to bring forth better results. Be Positive and always believe that Nigeria is God's own nation. God Bless Nigeria.

Strategic Leaders Conference 2007

The Strategic Leaders Conference is being organized by three organizations, Impact Makers Network, Young Disciples International, and Daystar Campus Fellowship with it's theme as "The Enlightened Leader". The aim of the programme is to bring youth leaders on Campus together to deliberate on how best we can affect our immediate environment positively. We believe that before we can transform anything on a national level, we must first make our presence felt in our immediate environment.
The programme starts with a rally on September 29 to sensitize people about the Independence day celebration which will come up on the 1st of October. It's just a way of sowing a seed of patriotism into the lives of the students and it styarts at 11am.The major programme comes up later in the day at 4pm. It's the Strategic Leaders Conference at the Conference Center, Obafemi Awolowo University. Speakers expected at the conference include, Fela Durotoye -C.E.O. VIP Consulting,and leading motivational speaker in Nigeria-, Patrick Adelusi -A internetional consultant to major multi-national companies-, Ngozi Nsien-General Manager, NTA Osogbo-, Mr Samson Adeyemi -State Director, National Orientation Agency, Osun State Directorate- and some other youths that are excelling in their chosen fields. If you want to be one of those that will transform Nigeria, this is just the programme to be. See you there.

In the Thick of Action

As we approach the 29th day in the month of September, it's now dawning on me that it's no joke when you are organizing a big programme. Just getting busier by the day and not likely to have the free time to visit friends as it used to be, especially in the female Halls of Residence. Well, the truth is that nothing good comes so easy. September 29 is the day.

We Are at it Again

After some weeks out of school, and a week of being partially in school, it has now dawned on me that we have actually resumed in school. Well, it's a good thing that we are back in school, but considering all that you have to go through all in the name of education, you won't but have a re-think if it's really worth it. Right now, i'm faced with the stress of trying to re-register for another semester. It's just as if the school authority and cyber-cafe operators jointly came up with how cyber operators can make good business from students. We shall definitely overcome.
Greatest Ife students, i say we shall overcome from the wahala of e-portal. I sign out.

Get Set

The stage is gradually getting set for arguably one of the biggest programmes in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, The Strategic Leaders Conference. The programme is being packaged by The Young Disciples International, Impact Makers Network, Daystar Campus Fellowship, and LQDA. You just have to be there. It's coming up on the Independence Day of my dear country Nigeria. The registration fee is just a token of #300, but you can join us in the I Believe rally round school on the 29th of September as we all march ropund the school in our green and white attire as a part of our contribution to national development by sowing a seed of patriotism into youths on Campus. Be there.

Who Is The Thief?

It is so disheartening that the increment in the VAT rate by the former President, though eventually reversed by the new President has left a dark cloud in the Nigerian market. The prices of some commodities in the country that was increased the moment VAT was increased has refused to go back to the initial prices. An example of such commodities is a bottle of Coca-Cola which has its 35l as 35naira before the VAT increment, but was increased to 40naira after the increment. Even after the reversal of VAT rate, the price still stands at 40naira. I believe we all have a role to play in knowing if the thieves are those selling these commodities, or the manufacturers. It goes a long way in determining what happens in the Nigerian market in future. Stand for your right and long to know who the real thieves are.

Free at Last

I eventually had my final examination today, which means i now have a break from school work to concentrate more on what i like doing most, blessing people's life and also plan very well towards the programme i'm planning on the 1st of October. I will also have the opportunity of going to Lautech to lay the foundation for Impact Makers in the school. Thank God, I'm free at last.

National Re-awakening

This is just a call to all Nigerians wherever they are to find something challenging they can do. One of the things I love telling people is that if not because of the kind of people in this country who feels they don't have a role to play in transforming Nigeria, we won't be where we are today. Let your name be written in gold, Nigeria needs you. God Bless Nigeria.

He's Proudly Nigerian
