THE TRUE TRANSFORMATION

It is commonly said that there can never be a fake except an original exists. This adage is made true when you here of the term TRANSFORMATION/CHANGE. 

Today however, I’m humbled to introduce the True manifestation of the aforementioned terms; something quite different from the political propagandas we’ve been used to for some years now.

A team of young spirited Nigerians have decided to redefine the concept of EDUCATION by equipping youths with the necessary skills, principles and systems to succeed in this present day Nigeria.

The team led by Airhunuoje Michael founded an Academic Institution known as LIFE TRANSFORMERS ACADEMY. The school carefully and systematically drafted courses that are not really thought in the conventional classrooms or even church rooms; thereby making it a place for those individuals with the zeal to THINK OUTSIDE the BOX, and the drive to DARE the seemingly IMPOSSIBLE.

With a collection of courses ranging from Leadership, Talent Discovery, Business Development, Relationship, Divinity and many more, the FOUNDATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE is set to be a strong platform to help young Nigerians discover themselves.

It is the hope of the school’s Board of Directors that as the First Academic Class begins on the 1^st of June the institution would play an active part in the development of the mindset of the average Nigerian youth.

The Three Mighty Men at DAYSTAR

As at 1:59 pm on the 13^th of April 2013, my heart was ready, my mind was open; I was ready to be upgraded. Five minutes after, my story was different, I thought I was coming to attend a Media Business Program; but I was wrong! So WRONG!

Although I expected much; but when the first Speaker Mr. Chude Jideonwo came on the podium, THINGS Changed; I got and so much more than I could even ask or dream of. It was a pleasant surprise.

 Chude & Michael

In a very simple but precise manner, he explained the concept of New Media popularly known as Social Media.  After cautioning the participants about getting too excited about social media as its just as normal as any other means of expression; Mr. Chude went on to explain its significance for business & productivity. He explained that we must only engage in the New Media that is beneficial to our business or purpose; adding that we mustn’t be on every single social media in order to prove our relevance in the society.

Throughout his whole presentation, my ears were taking as much information in; there by giving my brain the herculean task of trying to express every vital point on paper through my pens.

As though that impartation was not enough, it was then the turn of Mr.Deolu Akinyemi.

Mr. Deolu introduced his presentation with a very witty but wise story of a Grand Mother and her sons. Believe me, the story is awesome (I go tell una another day.lol). He went further to explain how you can get financial returns from your media presence.  For him, Having Value is a very important factor if you are to attract a large followership base online. His advice and suggestions on making money online just opened my eyes to the numerous opportunities that slip through our fingers every day.

At this point of my encounter at Daystar, I discovered I was not just in a SEMINAR, but a life changing gathering of mighty men. When I say mighty, don’t mistake me for the Goliath-kind of mighty. NO! I’m talking about the Mr. Japheth Omojuwa type of mighty.

Michael & Omojuwa

Mr. Omojuwa is the epitome of a man who knows WHO HE IS. His direct approach to the issue of social media evolvement in Nigeria wasn’t just a speech from books or journals, but a real life account of experiences he has had over time.  Watching this guy speak was not just inspiring, it was thought provoking; actually, his analyses and views really makes you hit yourself in the head and say “WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF IT THIS WAY BEFORE?”.

These great individuals have indeed infested my heart and planted a great seed of possibilities inside. If with little or nothing they can affect so much lives around the world; as well as build themselves into a sellable brand; then I know ONE day, you too can MAKE THE DIFFERENCE in this nation.

NIGERIA HOSTS MARK ZUKERBERG AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY

The name may sound familiar, but I bet even though he is a popular youth around the world, many of our Nigerian youths don’t really know who he is or what he does.

Well the funny thing is that, this young guy has made inventions that even the likes of Jay-z, Beckham & World Leaders cannot ignore.

His name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur and the founder of FACEBOOK (That sound familiar right?)

Mark is ranked among the top MOST INFLUENTIAL Youth in the World; His proposed visit to Akwa-Ibom State in Nigeria may not be given the media hype like that of Entertainment, Political or Sports personalities; it is worthy to note that the  CEO who is worth an estimated $9.4 billion  as of 2012, is visiting us few days after his 29^th Birthday.

Wishing him all the best as he comes, and prays his impact in the Niger Delta Youth Economic Summit would cause a dramatic change in the mindset of Africa youths.
