embrace their full potentials in all spheres of human endeavour and not to feel

NIGERIAN YOUTHS LEADERSHIP AND THE WAY FORWARD
A
youth is an individual filled with vigor, activeness, strength and capability.
One who has his future ahead with much value to offer to the world and ready
for service. The continuity of the nation depends solely on the youths.
Leadership
is the ability of an individual to influence the behavior of others and
resources in a positive direction. Leading and service are both qualities of a
good leader. A leader must have undergone training, passed through school,
through a period of service, learnt and become grounded on the ethics of
leadership. A leader is a problem solver. In today’s world where the government
can no longer foot the bill of every citizen, this is not the time to complain
about the government.
What
are you doing as a youth? A song writer said “brighten the corner where you
are” this calls for all hands to be on deck, you are a leader in your own
area. We are engulfed roundabout with
difficulties; over 60 percent of our populations live below poverty line. This
situation has left our youths with nothing other than poverty and despires.
Many
have given up because they find nothing useful to do and have become apostles
of destruction. If at all we are going
to handle this continually changing world, we have to adapt our selves by being
resourceful and creative. While a wave is still forming a long way off in a
distance, surfers know that it is a time to move a paddle out and get in
position. We cannot bring change as youths without a burning desire for it.
It is this desire that creates ambition, which
is the inner propelling force that drives an individual to pursue positive
change; this will make us undaunted and unquenchable. Let every youth therefore
be re-engineered to pursue education as to acquire the requisite skills to help
us communicate our thoughts and ideas to help solve challenging situations in
our environment, society and the nation at large which is one of the aims of
acquiring knowledge at any level.
He
who is not informed is deformed; a deformed person morally or intellectually
cannot lead well. Education enables us
to identify a societal problem and proffer solutions to it. We were trained in
school not to graduate and join the teaming population of undergraduates. Why
are you sent to school? You are sent to school not just to acquire education
but to be trained to affect humanity positively, education refines our God
given talents. It brings out the real you making you more fortified to take
charge.
There
is need to harness entrepreneurial skills which will lead to self reliance.
Show me a youth with ideas, for that is a born leader. In other to execute your ideas you actually
need the drive, and determination to take risk.
You may start small but dream big.
You cannot be seeking for job when you can be your own boss. Become an employer and boost the nation’s
economy. For economic development, ideas should be refined and harnessed into
commercial value. Anywhere there is inefficiency is an opportunity for
innovation. Look around you, what can
you do to make the society better?
Ensure
you are at Imo Students Leadership Summit to know how to move forward . You
will be equipped and empowered for the future.
The
FUTURE dawns for us. Become all you can be, come chat up your future at this
summit come 20th & 21st September 2016 at IICC
Owerri.
You
have what it takes.
Are
you a leader or aspiring leader? Then you can’t afford to miss this.
