Make a Difference Now!

This is something that has been on my mind for some time now and as I discuss with my friend, Tayo on the issues that affect our Nation Nigeria, she wants me to be a contributor on this platform. I believe you have been challenged in the light of this topic at some point of your life. But I think that a lot is expected of the young people of this country to start contributing something that will affect this nation positively.

From different walk of life, profession, class and position,  we have witnessed (young)Nigerians, in many places around the world contributing to knowledge and economy of other nations and thereby becoming a name to reckon with in their field of expertise. These include, Chimamanda Adichie, Mikel Obi, Dbanj and many more. I mentioned these people because they have made a difference in their own field, with the talents that God has bestowed upon them. In the course of my studying and working abroad, I have met few guys with brilliant ideas and such who command respect from what they do and not only the negatieve story on Internet scam and such others that put many at bay. However, these fellow young guys have made up their mind to stay outside Africa (Nigeria inclusive) because they feel that life outside the shore of Africa is better and they can stay there and make a living.

Since I return to Nigeria, I have seen a lot of opportunities in different sectors in the country and thought of ways in which young people could be involved other than raining blames on the government. As the faith that young people have dwindles, I believe that few still remain who have unwavering passion and astute believe that things will definitely get better. I am a believer too and yes we can! My charge to every young person is that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of  their dreams. So if you have a dream and a talent, what are you waiting for? Start acting and move forward in the inner power and God's grace upon your life. Make a bold step and do allow anything or anyone put you down. You can do it, stop the procrastination and start acting my brother and sisters. Let us all join our hands together and start making a difference now! See you again soon :)
