What is your vision of a world that works for everyone?
My vision of a world that works for everyone is that where there is entrenched integrity via inner consciousness to grow and develop individually such that the society at large would be a better place to live in when poverty has no place.

What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
Poverty and Inadequate education: Poverty and inadequate education has engendered high level of poverty which has brought a great menace to human existence in many continents of the world especially Africa. Take for instance, quite a small population is educated in Africa, and if educated, what quality? This is the major problem facing the world today. A world that will address the issue of education by making available quality education for the people will soon get rid of poverty and all the social vices such as corruption and intolerance that go along with it.

How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
Like I mentioned earlier these problems would be best solved if the governments of nations, individual corporate organizations and persons would confront the issue by proffering solutions such as:

(i). Investing in a child's future: As the saying goes, “Education is a treasure that cannot be stolen. Education enables the children to empower themselves and follow their dreams-it therefore brings hope of a better future and a better society. Providing “quality basic education” to millions of children has become a very challenging task. So, if a lot of them are given quality education they would become productive citizens in the future and this problem would be solved.
Skill Acquisition Programme: This help to develop reading skills which entails taking part in improving reading skills among the youth by helping provide books, teaching guides or even a book depot in your community.

Provide flexible learning: You can help by providing computers, Internet laboratories, educational television and even teach English through radio (School System Conversion Package).

Build multi-grade schools: By providing multi-grade classroom facilities, learning materials or help enhance multi-grade programs in areas where they are needed. Help pupils complete school: Through the “Pre-school Program,” “Modified In-School-Off-School Approach,” “Feeding Program,” this support can go a long way in helping children finish their basic education (Basic Education Completion Package). Help build more classrooms: You can help build mobile school houses in areas with sever classroom shortages in just two weeks.

Help train teachers: You can help provide training programs to more teachers across the country (Teacher Training Package). Generally, paper qualification should not be encouraged.

(ii.) Adoption of Programmes: This will give private institutions and individuals the opportunity to participate in the effort to improve the quality of public education in the nations. This can be done by providing assistance in the construction of new classrooms and training of teachers, providing of more textbooks, learning support facilities, health and nutrition interventions, and other initiatives. There are a number of ways through which private entities can help. Take for example, Business groups, non-government institutions, civic organizations, as well as private individuals can choose map out programs such that would empower the youth on how to be self reliant and self employed.

(iii.) Through responsive and innovative venture capital systems and entrepreneurial training both in schools and colleges: We will have more enterprises leading to a large number of employment generators rather than employment seekers. A pro-active healthcare system delivered through innovative schemes will provide quality healthcare access at an affordable cost to all the people of the country including those living in remote areas. Everyone will have an opportunity to take up and complete courses of choice in higher education. (President's message: Vision ignites the nation A P J Abdul Kalam / New Delhi January 26, 2007).

(iv.) “Accelerating Physical and Human Infrastructure for Wealth Creation and Poverty Reduction”. Accelerating the development of human capital is crucial to the ability to attain this developmental aspiration. In this regard, focus could be placed on improving the quality of education, healthcare and social services. The goal here would then be to ensure that gains of the strong fiscal outcomes are translated into the improvements of the social indicators and the quality of life of the citizens. Thus, if programmes such as Wealth Creation, Employment Generation, Poverty Reduction, and Value Re-Orientation are mapped out and executed the problem of poverty would be drastically reduced if not totally abdicated.

Profile:
I am a young and proactive man of fourty years of age. I was borne on Monday, 6th of June 1966 in a village called Iyah-Gbede in Kogi State of Nigeria, West Africa. I am married to Faith Chigozie Ola and we are blessed with three children Miracle, Favour and Praise.

I attended my Primary School in Oyi Local School Management Board (OLSMB) and obtained my First School Living Certificate with fourth position out of the 66 pupils who wrote the Final Examination in 1981. From here, I proceeded to Government Secondary School, Ilorin Kwara State for my secondary school education in October 1981 to 1986. I later did my Advance Level Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination in 1988 -1990. With the result of the examinations, I went into the University of Ilorin, Kwara State to study Geography which I completed in 1994 and obtained Bachelor of Science degree in Geography.

I am an avid reader of books, most especially books on Spiritual and Investments (Business) strategies. I do not just only read books but I study them for application. I love exploring the strategies. On religious matter, I am a serious believer in the Faith that is in Christ Jesus. Due to this, I was trained as a Missionary Worker and Child Evangelist between August 1994 and August 1996. Presently, I am an ordained Christian leader in the capacity of Deaconship. I am a peaceful person who hates disorderliness, dishonesty and poverty.

I am the type who does not easily give up on any issue, as a matter of fact, my strong belief and motto is 'all problems have permanent solutions'. So, I do not believe in the impossibilities if at all there are any.

I am a geographer by training. By self development and inclination, I am a Chartered Professional Manager under the professional body of the Nigerian Institute of Management NIM (Chartered). My professional certification in Personnel Management with the Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria is in view (currently a Part II student) of the Institute. By choice I am an Internet Entrepreneur with bias in affiliate marketing.

As a Geographer, I was trained to have a vast knowledge in almost all aspect of human endeavours such that I should be able to function maximally under any human, social, economic and political environment. Therefore, I seek daily to be thoroughly furnished and equipped with the wherewithal to handle issues successfully. I love traveling.

Furthermore, I have skills and experience in administration with high level Computer literacy and proficiency.

My mission in life is to create value and promote its excellence with impeccable honesty through high quality service to mankind. I have a vision of a world that works where uprightness, justice, growth and development compounded by prosperity void of oppression for all men. I am the type of person who hates poverty with great passion. I want a situation where I would be able to assist the less privileged ones to become educated by empowering the youth educationally and impacting them economically too. In other words, I want to be able to effect positive changes in the lives of children and youths. I research on daily basis through studying on how to improve my income to be able to help others solve this problem. Part of the projects I have been involved in is conduction of Seminars.
