IMPACT LEADERS HUB

            Dear Nigerian Youth, All is Well. I just felt I should remind us that we are greater than the pains and trying times we are passing through. A friend said something, "Nigeria is in the Labour Room" the New Nigeria will soon be birthed. While we mourn, Let's do what our leaders never expect us to do - Let us solidify our resolve to Make A Difference with every opportunity we ever get to lead in this country. Somewhere deep in their minds, they believe we will get tired and forget about this. They think it will be yet another social media ginger that will die down with time. Let's show them that they've messed with the wrong generation. But, Let our strategy not match their expectations. Let our strategy not suit their trap or compliment their smartness. Its painful that it's taking the lives of innocent souls. It hurts so much that they died in defense of a just course, in the full regalia of patriotism. It's tough they

So I reached out to Chimezie Judemary Udechukwu   about my sustained interest in the Model United Nations (MUN) Conferences. He's been an astute Muner, several times President of the General Assembly, my Noble President of the United Nations Security Council at several  MUN. He acknowledged my reach out and one of those evenings, called my attention to Asian Pacific International Model United Nations (APIMUN) Conference. So, When he notified me of the call for Dais (that is committee executives), I was delighted and looked forward to having to learn from the best, as well as having him thread the international space with me.🦾 Little did I know that my boss, didnt apply for that.😳 After series of Interviews, written and oral, I got a mail after one back-to-back busy week. The mail congratulated me for being appointed as the Chairperson for the United Nations Human Right Council for APIMUN Online Conference Version 4. 🦾😀💃🏾 While being excited about the opportunity, I was

The sound of war has never been sonorous.  The outcome of violence has never been relieving. The reward for revenge has never been a guiltless hug. The price of unforgiveness has never been ephemeral. The relieve that comes from PEACE has always been rejuvenating. Theres a lot more to celebrate than to mourn about if we can dig deep, and think from the optimistic side.  There's a lot more progress to be made when united, than in separate paths of needless divides.  If our generation can focus more on the things that unite us than those that tend to divide us, we will see the pathways that leads to through greatness in the eyes of everyone. We will understand the priority of being humans over our individual selfish interest. We will appreciate the blend in our skin colours and the beauty in the variety that language brings. If there is one goal man has always longed for unconsciously,  it is to live in a land of Peace and Harmony. A territory where potentials can be fully expressed,

Today, we join the world to celebrate the children in our lives. While you buy them Ice cream and  Pizza, please endeavor to have a life changing conversation with them about their lives and future relevance. While you take them to Crunchies, Kilimanjaro, KFC, Seven Eleven, Mr. Biggs and the big eateries, take some time to tell them the stories of how such businesses are built with resilience, and that it's more rewarding to be the owner than his customer. While it's a time to celebrate children all over the world, its most importantly a time to teach them about living significant lives that will make them better citizens and great leaders of tomorrow. Buy them books, share transformative stories with them. Play them movies/Videos of World Youngest talents, kids making history. Teach them 21st century leadership principles in simplified ways. Let today count in their lives so much that even after excreting the waste from today's plenty chopsss and fun, they'll still be

Years ago, a time came when kings were gathered for a meeting in a faraway land. I got an invite to attend that meeting and so I put my things in order and set off on the journey.  Two days later, I got to the venue, a magnificent palace with walls decorated with precious stones. I got into the palace and I sat down where servants were seated. A palace guard who saw me as I entered the palace walked up to me and bid me to follow him. I followed.  He got to the front row, stopped and turned to me, he said "Look up there sir, that is where you are meant to be seated, up there, not down here".  Confused I asked "aren't those seats meant for kings? I'm just a servant and I'm here to serve".  He quickly checked his book and looked up at me and said "you look like a king to me and here look! You are named among the kings".  Without further protest, I proceeded to the stage where kings sat and quietly found a seat amongst them. I was calm but my quest

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity" Dr Martin Luther King This quote has influenced my life greatly, over the last few years. I have come to understand life from a perspective of making impact. Living a life that is relevant here starts when you as an individual can rise above the narrow confines of your individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. It is a conscious effort and a daily commitment to make a difference in lives. You don't have to be bold, beautiful, rich, famous to do that, you are just amazing the way you are. Touch the life next to you. The life you have been given is a gift, use it wisely and make positive impact that matters in the lives of men. The best investment you can ever make on earth is investing in lives and dreams. Get out of that comfort zone, look around you, there are lives to impact, broken hearts to

Let's Talk About Limiting Beliefs! So through the weekend, I had a power-packed online conference I attended that repositioned my life and I'm sure many of us here also attended that summit - Headstart Summit. One of the Major takeaways I had from that summit was - Destroy Limiting Beliefs. While I paid close attention to the 17 different power speakers of that conference, from Disruptor Ubong King, to Disruptive Creator Kunle Soriyan. I discovered that significant progress in life is bounded (Permitted and Restricted) by our belief system. No matter your business or professional inclination, you are at the mercy of your mind. In fact, your business goals, financial projections, leadership goals, management targets are as big as your minds eyes can see. So if it's about the mind, you can understand why it's about our belief system right? Because  our mind is the headquarters of our beliefs. It not only processes those thoughts, it also decide to what extent you can even

16th May happens to be the Day of the Boy Child. We celebrate every boychild out there that has taken a resolve to live a significant life, Respect the female folks, and Surrender their tendencies and yearnings to the will and purpose of the maker for their lives. This year's theme happens to be "Protecting our boys, reclaiming our heritage". Wait a minute! How true does that sound in your mind? Actually this is as true as you can ever imagine it. The young boys out there are passing through a whole lot of pains and uncertainties in their transition from boyhood to adulthood. Pains that have made them think about superimposing their weakness and vulnerabilities all in the name of proving themselves as strong people that have the capacity to be called men. There's been a worrisome negligence on the male child since the gospel of developing the female child became an anthem. Little did we see how much such negligence was costing the efforts towards the fem

Dear friend, I know you desire all the success you can get out of this life. You see those who have had a level of success and you admire them, you want to be like the. And sometimes, you ask if this is ever going to be possible. It is not an impossible dream, it is attainable, very attainable. But you need to travel the path of excellence, they traveled. It takes commitment to start, it takes consistency to finish. The trouble most times is you get started but lose when it  comes to consistency. Excellence is a habit you need to imbibe and develop and it comes through consistency. Somewhere, I read that when you fail to execute a daily habit for one day, it reduces the odds of retaining that habit by 5%. Failing to execute a habit 2 days in a row, reduce the odds of retaining that habit by 55%! Yes, 55%! Miss more than 2 days and you can kiss your new habit goodbye. Therefore, never miss doing the minimum daily requirement for 2 days in a row. If you miss one day, make it a priority f

There's a way that seemeth right unto a 21st-century youth. (Contd) She was really pissed off by asking for recharge card money from her petty-trader mum and felt the best bet was to seek from the guy down the street. * She could have helped mum sell and get some share plus effrontery to make her request, or better still learn a skill or help mum get more customers online... But she felt her beauty could pay without such stress. * The success of the first episodes usually blinds the eyes to the reality of the looming consequences. She counted her mint Mayra notes with shoulders high, hailing her bravery and applauding her courage. "Use what you have to get what you want" became her slogan. * The Second escapade got more cash but... * The pressure from friends appeared so much that his No sounded like evidence of cowardness. From a sip to a single gulp, then a bottle was no longer enough. * He was sure it was a wrong habit, but the glory and cheerings from his friends gave

There is a way that seems right unto a 21st-century youth. It's a way that massages his ego, dignifies her beauty, and satisfies their longing to belong. At the junction lies two sound systems. One gives old fashioned advice on moderation, the other an active lively appeal to youthful exuberance. I'm scared of their choices. Not because I've lived through the lens of both adverts, but because I've learned from the mistakes of many, whose tears forever flow. Just beyond the junction are a kiosk painted pepper red, cockroach brown, and mango green. It's own by an influencer whose products appeal so much... He has a spicy flavor of old fashioned rightness, but his works are laddened with the justified abnormalities coated to seduce the mind for possession. I got perturbed when she gave a loud cry. Just after that came the sobbing of a male voice? What could have gone wrong I pondered....? To be continued...

Good Day Amazing Leaders. I trust we are doing good amidst the challenges! We are in a very defining moment of human history. In such a time when the world is having several lockdowns from our normal lifestyles and all we count as default. A point where we wonder at the possibility of adhereing to unconventional instructions,  all towards a sincere effort to safe our lives. COVID-19 has indeed taught us that we can do without many things we attached "constant" figure to in this life. Truth is,  if we must make the best out of this isolation period of history,  we must embrace the virtual realities that have been created to compliment physical experiences. And more importantly,  we must relish in the lessons this reality teaches us about the true longings of humanity. It's a time to deepen the learning process and pick up those skills that you've envied having,  but have been always robbed of, by your core stifling capitalist working environment or endless
