GROOMING EMPOWERED YOUTH OUTREACH

  If there was any better option for most of us here on earth about leaving for a more pleasant, and better planet, we will all leave Earth. Am I right? Everything seems to be in chaos. We have been moving from one level of disorganization to another. Africa has been classified as a third world continent. Poverty is stirring us at the face without remorse. Our loved ones pass away, not because of anything but for poverty and poor health care facility. Right now, inflation is becoming the order of the day even after the World Bank and IMF told us that we are out of recession. We are yet to feel its impact on our lives. The rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. Our leaders have been promising us heaven on earth if we vote for them. However, they turn against us for their pockets after getting power. The graduate out there is tired of applying for jobs. The undergraduate out there is wondering which uncle, brother, or friend can help him get a job bec...

I f there is anything, you must learn before 2017 ends, it must be the power to make decisions. I carried out a personal survey on several people I met this 2017. I realized that most of these folks are where they are today because of one decision or the other they made or did not make some years back. Circumstances are a product of your decisions.

But dear, whether you choose it or not: someone has made some decisions for you in advance even before you were born. Your parents decided where you would be born either in Nigeria or America. So you agree with me that your life is a product of decisions whether...

O ne of the most amazing things I learnt this 2017 and is still learning is “Parenting”. I was privileged to see several things this year: the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I realized that parenting plays a major role in the outcome of our society. I realized that children who later become adults got most of their traits and genes (genotype and phenotype) from their parents: Intelligent parents most times (not 100%) breeds intelligent kids and dull parents hardly breeds intelligent kids (except in rare occasions) First, let us see how important parenting is - to the child and the world! Wikipedia defines parenting as “the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.” However, most people think parenting is just about giving birth. So I ask, how prepared are you? The biggest and hardest task in life is parenting. Do you know why? If you focus on being successful an...
