SAFE SPACES FOR YOUTH TO EXPRESS THEIR UNIQUENESS (Part One)



The glory of every youth lies in their strengths.

Your fingerprint is exceptional and sets you apart from any other personality. You're uniquely and wonderfully made. You're ordained for exploits.

The greatest gift you can give to humanity is selfless service and sacrifice of resourcefulness and that's what will determine your uniqueness.

Global Changers are not noise makers, they are news makers.

There are lots of spaces that youth can occupy in their communities and countries but it is a great pity to see so many of them living average lives instead of expressing their ultimate uniqueness.

And they can discover this wondrous paths by embracing lifestyles of resourcefulness.

On this note and at this juncture, I will be showing you few ways of maximizing opportunities and spaces available for you as a youth.

First of all is to stay relevant. Discover what you can do to make significant impact. What are you so passionate about? It is what will be driving you. If you're not passionate about doing anything, it will only reduce your rate of being influential and living phenomenal. Everyone of us have one or two gifts or talents that make us very special. The more we use them the more space we fill. And the more fulfil we feel.

Secondly, be visionary. You need to be driven by a compelling vision. The BIGGER your vision, the higher you attain great zeniths of greatness. Don't wait until you have the privilege of having millions, start with what you have. Start with a vision inside your mind. Start with an idea. You need idea to rule the world. What you see is who you become. If you see yourself as a grasshopper that's who you'll eventually become.

Thirdly, be a solution provider or carrier. The more problem you solve, the more valuable and preferable you become. You won't be a liability but an asset. There are deluge of problems in your community and country. Step up from your slumber or better still do more of what you do the most. You can solve the problem of transportation, education, ICT and the likes.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PUSH FOR TRUE CHANGE? Austria on December 12, 2018, made history by electing the world's youngest president, who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz. Before those elections, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youth are contented with being used, praise singers and be special assistants on social media, youth elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youth. Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. The bar has been raised in Austria, that elected a 31 year old man, as its leader. A 31 year old man in Africa, is probably in his parents house, unemployed, broke, eating free food and not bothered. The 31 year old Africans are feeling big, supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in),
WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE Nri Chinenye Audrey. It has been overwhelming, overwhelmingly exhausting. With every second of exhaustion died the dream and the promise to stay true to myself To be relevant To live and answer to my calling That voice within slowly becoming stifled as I gradually eased into the oblivion where I do not need to work my mind of creativity Where I become normal, regular And my purpose and calling to life, dead... Somewhere, somewhere within, the voice cried My conscience cried out powerfully loud in its small voice to remind me of our pact, that... WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE. And I awakened.. . . . What is your dream? What challenges are you going through that has made you so weary to the point of forfeiting your dreams? What is that thing that is causing you great distractions? The road to achieving much in life comes with many obstacles. Sometimes you get distracted, confused, overwhelmed, weary from failing too many a time. Whil
FROM AN INSECURE HOUSEWIFE TO AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED MAKEUP ARTIST By Love Olaleye As an undergraduate in the university, I engaged in different business like buying and selling clothes, making zobo, just to earn some money to augment the pocket money that never seemed enough. None of these businesses brought me the kind of joy I experienced when I decided to pursue my passion in makeup. First I became a Mary Kay rep; I would sell and show students how to use the products they bought. The joy that beams on their faces was fulfilling, despite the frustration of running after debtors. I remember my first bride who happened to have been my friend who was kind enough to allow me experiment on her face. As I drove out early hours of the morning around 6am, my car brakes suddenly failed, I ran into a tree off the road but God saved me, no scratch, I came out and the car was badly damaged. As the car was being towed home, it was a decisive moment, I had to decide wheth
