Together Each Achieves More

As you go on in this new term i want to suggest that you learn to work with other people in the pursuit of your goals. Sometimes we overestimate what we can do ourselves and underestimate what we can do when we work with others.

I had slept pretty late on the last day of July, 2008 as a result of an all night meeting I had with incoming leaders of Young Disciples International, a youth organisation where I had served as the President at Obafemi Awolowo University. I was set to handover to a new President the day after. Jumping early out of bed was the last thing I wanted to do, as I desired earnestly to gain back the hours lost from being nocturnal.

Just when I was getting ready to catch some more sleep, I felt a tap on my legs. I kind of hate disturbances when ‘m in dream land, like the sudden beep of my phone. However this time around a friend and roommate of mine whom I fondly call ‘Baa mi’ (My father) was responsible for the abrupt call to wakeup. Still feeling very drowsy I got up, wondering why anyone would deliberately put me out of bed.

Alas! I was surrounded by my roomies. What’s wrong? As much as I could remember, my birthday was not any close. I was in for a big surprise; it turned out to be a commendation service. They showered encomiums on me for serving successfully as the President of Ydi and also shared a word of prayer with me.

That’s exactly how my day started, as I laid down on my bed trying to reflect on my experience in leading other young people like myself, some of them older than I , my pillow began to get wet. I could not help the euphoria of that moment, as I thought about the opportunity leadership had given me to positively influence the lives of other young people. The tears kept on flowing. The more I thought about it, the more I thanked God, and the more I thanked him, the more I wept.

Just like we all learn to read and write early in life, every young person must see leadership skills as something to be learnt. There always comes a time in history when some few individuals who are prepared, trained and equipped would stand out of the crowd and take the lead. Africa is in dire need of transformational leaders, are you ready to take up the challenge?

I am passionate about training in the next one year 100,000 students in public schools on leadership. Helping them get highly subsidized copies of my book nad empowering them to be change agents. Join me, remember , What you make happen for others God would make happen for you.

'm thinking

It's easy to blame the government for our bad roads, no one spares PHCN when there isn't light, who is responsible for the number of young people under the bridges. But my thought is that ultimately what matters is what you can do where you are to make a difference in the lives of other people.
