Re: Africa O.Africa Arise, By Adeola Ogunlade
Nice to know that young people like you and I are making a difference in our society. Complaining and whining will take us nowhere, but doing something great in our own little way can add up to light up our world. Cheers!

Re: Before our youth all become militant

Hallo, thanks really a very nice piece. I don’t know if we have met, but um... I think I connect with you on this. I keep pondering on how the issue of the Niger Delta could be addressed and if their actions can actually be justified. Well, I and some YPs are working on a magazine publication; don’t know if you have heard about BOLD initiative. I thought we could publish your piece, as partners in progress. It’s thought provoking and of course we will give you your credits. Keep up the good work.

Re: Call to the Rescue

Dear Adeola, Thanks for this piece. It is indeed a reminder that there is so much ground to cover to lift Africa from its ashes. I thank God you are taking a stand by using the resources within your capacity to fight these ugly issues on our continent. Be assured of my standing too as we must do our own part and leave behind us a footprint in the sand of time. Regards,
Adeola Akinremi

To you all, I say thanks a million.

On the said topic above New Year another Opportunity was a thought provoking words that took my thought days before the New Year...
Opportunity to:

Serve the table the more

Rescue men from sin, ignorance and wickedness

Put my live on the line to save humanity from the many vices plaguing her.

Show more love and care especially to those in need.






This I remunerate upon because we are not better than those who died for whatever reason know to God in the last year, many of them had dreams unrealized, vision unaccomplished, desires that never came alive among others.

Just like my friend Abayomi "Wyse" said recently at the Top 100 Our Generation Nigeria Youth Leadership Programme by asking some question such as:


“If you were told that you have only 6 month to live in the year 2009, what will you do and what we be our priority for the New Year”...

“If we die today and God brought us back to live for a particular reason, how do we spend the year 2009 or even the rest of our lives”?

“If we were given #10 million today, how do we spent it when we hear of famine, devastation, war, ill public health system, illiteracy level scoring high all around Africa) how do we spent it and posterity will bless us” .


I had “if today you were told of a close friend of yours was jailed for a sin he did not commit, how we will you feel and what will you spend the rest of 2009 doing. For me, these questions are mind blowing and a food for thought”.

However, I know for some of us we might have had in the outgoing year:

Dreams unrealized

Goals we never met

Visions unaccomplished

Mistakes made

I believe the past is gone, let us face the new year with heart and mind to explode with our time, talents expertise, the great opportunities ahead of us.

I believe like Obama in spite of the challenges ahead of us in the New Year, YES WE CAN
