WE CAN GET IT RIGHT!
There is no shortcut to success, if you will do anything great to affect your
generation and society; you must dare to go where others are afraid to tread.
I always tell participants that life does not
give us what we want, we take whatever we want from life. This is the reason
why where some see opportunities and do all they can to seize them, others see obstacles
and give every kind of excuse why things can’t work.
The most powerful statement you can make to yourself is that you are not
just going to exist, work to pay bills and die an ordinary man. You must be
determined to make your mark before you die.
You are the only one that can be you. There is no one that can do things exactly
the same way as you. It has been scientifically proven that no two people have
the same fingerprints; even Siamese twins.
Knowing that you have talents and abilities that the world needs is the most
liberating piece of information that you can ever have.
(excerpts from Chapter One)

LET'S GIVE THIS A TRY!
What we desire to do in this book is answer five questions that we believe
will help the youths understand who they are and to show them that they have what
it takes to move this country and continent to the next level. (1)What
do I have to give? Everyone is an important brick needed to have a
complete and beautiful nation, your vision is a necessary contribution to the
development of society. (2)Why should I be interested in what is
going on? We must realize that a good society is a collective responsibility
of all its citizens. (3) Why should developing leadership qualities concern me? Every
sphere of life needs a leader, not only in politics; and until we develop the
leader in us, we can become clogs in the wheels of development.
(4) What if I do not
get a job? The shift from what I would call “education for
the stomach” to living a life of impact is absolutely necessary if we are going
to have any meaningful development. (5) How do I prepare for
relationships that will help me accomplish my life’s purpose? Many a
life’s journey have been derailed or completely aborted by entering into
relationships with the wrong people.

LET'S DO THIS!
"As is typical of most of us older
Nigerians, and now a culture we have passed onto our young, there is the
tendency for us to look outward for blames rather than be introspective about
the problems that confront our society. That culture has for many years seen us
deflect our complicity in the institution of these problems rather than taking
personal responsibility, and now the vast majority of our youth follow in our
footsteps.
It is a humongous problem that this
book seeks bravely to tackle and hopefully reverse. Going against populist
opinion the writer brilliantly brings to our consciousness our role as citizens
in the healing of our country. She makes us see why we need to be the change we
desire, why our little contributions matter and why we must put the greater
good at the fore of our actions." - Kenneth Ezaga
