Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
My vision of a world that works for everybody is one that embraces the
fundamental and universal values of equity, justice, love, unity, and peace.
A world where we all uphold the tenet of the Golden Rule as a pointer to a
magnificent rising to every stakeholder of this thought.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The issue of poverty, a man-made pathology is one problem that haunts many
societies. The widening gap between the rich and the poor is quite
depressing, and these problems are perpetuated by hegemonic forces who
believe that people can be classified, that some beings are inherently
superior, physically, intellectually, or culturally, to others, and,
therefore have a right to dominate, suppress and exploit other groups. This
is unacceptable! The problem is that our leadership seems to have bought
into these ideologies & practices, and now it appears as is there is no
alternative, which is not true. The most pressing problems facing the world
today are hereby listed below:
* Above all is the inability of mankind to discover himself, his purpose
and potentials.
* Ignorance in its generality.
* Poverty.
* Leadership challenge to give direction
This world requires a people with the determination to end poverty... who
believe that there is and alternative and is willing to pursue a dream. A
leadership that can stand up and become unpopular because they stand for
what is right. Development Organizations that are true, and are willing to
do some introspection- to review their position, to assess whether they are
contributing to or if they are working toward a transformed society, the
sustenance of the status quo,
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
To develop user friendly programs to help people discover with ease
where they should belong with the right dose of motivation to keep them on
course
* Discovering the ignorance type in a given location and help get the people
expose to the experiential knowledge needed
* Training people the course needed to put them on the path of steady wealth
creation.
* Developing leadership networks in different sphere on national and
international level
PROFILE
In my growing years I was very interested in the literary society of my
university - University of Ilorin, Nigeria. This period marked the period of
honing of this skill reading and writing extensively until recently when
it gradually began to yield some dividend.
Also, it helped me to define the area of my interest construction of a
better society values, ethics and ideology: it was then I set a clear goal
of becoming a great influence in Nigeria. This resolve was further necessary
in the spate of bad leadership of the countrys dictators in the mid 90s.
After graduation my focus was divided between survival and living. And
recently, I made up my mind to be 100% focus if possible I left 7Up
Bottling Company Plc in 2005. The purpose is to pursue goals, which are
fundamental to my purpose.
Having a rich Christian background, with leadership experience at this end,
couple with a diversified learning and personal development gives me the
confidence, with reasonable support; we will be able to make some influence
on the youths especially in the area of leadership development
Recently, I completed a program on Life Discovery and Leadership
Development Program, which is to help many people to find their feet in life
living purposefully as they grow in influence to become a leader in their
choosing field. So far we have held some couple of training, but much of
which is as a supporting resource person.
The favourite books in my life are: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill,
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, The Magic of Self Direction by David
Schwartz, Julius Caesar Shakespeare, The Great Expectation by Charles
Dickens, etc. And men who have helped in giving me direction include: John
Maxwell, Creflo Dollar, Chris Oyakhilome, T. D. Jakes, Late Martin Luther
King Jnr, Martin Luther the Reformer, Mohandas Gandhi, Michael Ibru,
Olusegun Obasanjo, etc.
My favourite past time at childhood is story telling, as I grew older it
metamorphosed into story writing which I believe is the outcome of at least
three novels and two drama two of which are receiving attention from two
publishers now.
Recently, I have begun changing gear from writing fiction to writing
motivational books the first, which I am working on is: Motivating the
Nation to Greatness.
Also, I have made some level of influence through some series of newsletter
LifeDiscovery Inspirational newsletter, which many appreciate for,
standard and content.
All the above illustrate the medium I am using as a frame on which to
eloquently build our dream of a new society: using literary medium,
seminars, conference and much later the electronics medium as one develop a
network of like minds leaders from different fields of endeavours.
And the goal in as much will embrace the secular world; it is nonetheless
a Christian based thought and concept.
I believe with your training facilities made available I will be able to
reach the zenith of influencing my immediate society, and possibly becoming
a toast at International Speaking engagements.

- As A Man Thinketh
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull
- The New Dynamics Of Winning
