<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">When last did you speak to someone about
becoming great in the tomorrow of your life? When last did you fantasize, blow
up plenty air into your imaginations and reassure yourself that you’re born to
make a difference? When last did you feel cool after allowing your mind the
privilege of roaming the world, feeling like Bill Gates or even, Usain Bolt?
You see, imaginations are powerful, they encircle the world. They give you the
bragging right that the world belongs to all of us because you get to fly First
Class in your mind, and no one bogs you about boarding pass. Is it not amazing
how we are so limitless in our minds?</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sIhDGnkeU8Q/VjS59-jtF1I/AAAAAAAAC0I/Ir6HB5gGB10/s1600/Facebook%2BBanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sIhDGnkeU8Q/VjS59-jtF1I/AAAAAAAAC0I/Ir6HB5gGB10/s640/Facebook%2BBanner.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Well, so what should we do? Should we
stop dreaming? Should we stop imagining? By no way! But we should do more with
the present moment. We cannot be absent in the classes of today and expect to
pass in the examinations of tomorrow. Everyday offers us 86,400 golden seconds,
to mine. Each second expects, anticipates, and beckons. This yearning of the
Seconds’ hands of the clock compels us to take action, to take initiative, to
dance on our today’s stage. But many people are too concerned about tomorrow
that they forget there’s a today to fight for.</span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Others are waiting for future beauty and
forgetting the very precious moments that pass unnoticed; that moment when a
butterfly sits on a flower, confirming pollination; that time when a bird
glides across the sky, feeling so fly like a G6; that time when the moon is about to enter its
hiding place until the return of the evening. Really, beautiful nothings that
bestride our world – alas, unnoticed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Are you one of those postponing your
happiness to one big, sterling moment? Well, the good news is that now is the
time to make the most of the moment. And if you’re young, you’ve got a
privilege that many older people would want to trade places for. So what are
you doing with your youth? How best can you seize the moment without networking
and connecting with people who look like where you are going? Do you know that
the company you keep can help you seize the moment? The books you read and the
events you attend too? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">

the ages of 16 to 40, Guardians of The Nations International (GOTNI) is
presenting you an opportunity to seize the moment and meet some of the best
brains in Nigeria in just two days. The Emerging Leaders Conference will be
coming to you courtesy of GOTNI on the 6th and 7th of November, 2015 at

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nigeria
is undoubtably one nation whose strength is in her youth and all over the world,
the impact of the Nigerian youth is felt and being harnessed for development of
Nations. It is with this awareness that the Emerging leaders Conference was
designed especially to provide more capacity for Nigeria’s emerging youth influencers
and help them multiply their influence in other youth for a more empowered economy. Over 5, 000 youths has been part of
this grooming and network of change makers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">A total of One hundred and
eighty-six (186) women participated in the 3-part sessions of the 2015 edition
of the Young Women Leadership Program (YWLP) by Guardians of the Nation
International (GOTNI), and funded by OXFAM in Nigeria. This program was an
intensive mentorship training that brought choice facilitators who mentored women
from all walks of life on practical subjects bordering on leadership, governance
and political roles.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Facilitators included Mrs.
Ijeoma Nwafor, Linus Okorie, Thelma Obaze of NTA, Adora Onyechere AIT, Godswill
Ayemoba, Mrs. Uloma Nwosu, Dr. Ejike Orji, Barr. Ikechukwu Uzoma, Mr. Kelechi
Agwuom, Mrs. Chikodi Alameyeseigha, Jenny Chisom Opara, Mrs. Nkiru
Linus-Okorie, Imo State former Majority Leader, Comrade Iyke Ogbonna, Mrs. Munachi
Onuzo, Pastor Alphonsus Eberendu, amongst others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Keynote speakers for the
program launch include Senator Grace Bent, Barr. Sharon Ikeazor, Chioma Ukwuagu
(OXFAM), Uche Nwosu (Imo State), amongst other eminent Nigerians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was indeed revolutionary
and many participants have called for more of this kind of mentorship outreach
to empower women for a better led Nigeria. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As was highlighted by
Senator Grace Bent during the program launch on Sept 4, that Nigeria has been
led by only half of her team, the need was really amplified by the mind
revolution and willingness to serve, exhibited by the participants, now
alumnae. They were mentored on subjects like <b>Leadership etiquette, Productivity, Team work efficiency, Rule of Law,
Women in the eyes of the constitution, Virtue, Vision, Social media for advocacy,
Media for advocacy, Entrepreneurship, Communication</b>, amongst others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The women left the 5-day
training sessions more committed to becoming the change we all desire and went
ahead to establish their own advocacy projects in groups. In all, seventeen
(17) advocacy group projects were established.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The group chose advocacy
projects that range from <b>tourism, stopping
harsh widowhood practices, sickles cell anaemia, waste management, freedom of
speech, Women support, Self-esteem</b>, <b>Stopping
molestation of the Girl child, Abuse, Celebral Palsy,</b> amongst other issues.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The groups all started off
their advocacy projects on their Social media of choice. 2 of the groups adopted
Twitter, 2 others adopted blogs, while the others chose Facebook groups, making
the program outcome easier to manage and assess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On the official YWLP Group
on Facebook </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/YWLP2015"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">www.facebook.com/groups/YWLP2015</span></a><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> the
interactions are robust and we encourage such approach to be adopted by
advocates as a first line of action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The role of OXFAM to ensuring
equal opportunities for women in Nigeria drove the vision of GOTNI which is to
groom leaders consciously for Africa, and these 186 women are empowered to
execute that dream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As we draw the many lessons
and follow up on their progress, it is our hope that more Nigerians will
benefit from these participants and together the deficit of women in
leadership, governance and politics will become history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Nigeria as one of the
largest economies in Africa has been through rigorous stages to enhance
livelihood and improve her people’s economy. Leadership has been obviously
Africa’s biggest challenge due to negative ideologies such as godfatherism, sit-tight
leadership and mediocre leadership largely due to the dearth of leadership
grooming. Nigeria remains the hope of Africa and at the wake of women
empowerment and investment in women, Oxfam in Nigeria has been at the forefront
of bridging the leadership gap among women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Recently, Oxfam has identified
with the socio-political need for Nigerian especially in her women, and
partnered with Nigeria’s premiere leadership grooming organisation, Guardians
of the Nation International (GOTNI) for this onerous task since 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Young Women Leadership
Program (YWLP) 2015 of the GOTNI was flagged off on September 4, 2015 at the
Reiz Continental Hotel Abuja, and mentors who spoke include Sen. Grace
Folashade Bent, one of Nigeria’s immediate past legislator; Barr. Sharon
Ikeazor, Women Leader of the ruling party-All Progressive Congress, Mrs
Victoria Bose Okakwu, the Director of Community Development and Special
projects at the NYSC, Mrs Olufunke Baruwa, CEO of Women Trust Fund, Hajia Aisha
Atiku Bagudu, and Chioma Ukwuagu representing the Country Director, Oxfam in
Nigeria and together they set the tone the over one hundred and eighty-eight
women in attendance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The event was the launching
of the 2015 edition of the Young Women Leadership Program which is a 5-day
mentorship training that runs in 3 batches both in Abuja and Owerri, Nigeria. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The programme launch last
weekend afforded participants mentorship opportunities with politicians, party
chieftains, Captain of industries, governor’s wife, social entrepreneurs and
grant making organisations. The challenges of women in politics and how to
overcome it; need for the emergence of women in leadership, governance and
politics and the role of mentorship in bringing about those dynamics were at
the fore of the event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Oxfam in Nigeria, funding
the GOTNI Young Women Leadership Program explains to Nigerians why investment
in women for leadership is imperative. Oxfam country director, represented by
Chioma Ukwuagu made the assertion that the women population in Nigeria is
higher than male and so cannot be ignored. This fact was also asserted when
speakers like Sen. Grace Bent made a striking revelation that Nigeria has been
running with only half of her team, being that women are not in the topmost
echelon of leadership in Nigeria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Participants were drawn
across university students, NGO entrepreneurs, women in private sector, and
entrepreneurs and politicians were seen very excited and were visibly present
in the venue of the event hours after the program was over due to the impact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Young women Leadership
program will train 150 young women in a 5-day cycle per batch of 50 women, from
September 7th-25<sup>th</sup>, 2015. The GOTNI Leadership Centre is hosting
this very important leadership mentorship program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">I remember vaguely that
she was lying on the bed reading a book with many pages. She seemed to be
concentrating. I asked her, “Aunty what is this book you are reading”? She
replied “the Bible”. “What is the Bible”? I asked. It is “God’s word” she
responded. I must have been 8 or 9 years old at the time. That was my first
conscious encounter with religion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">All previous encounters had been passive,
unconscious, and insignificant. I took personal interest in this Bible and
began to read it. I was deeply fascinated as I found a new transcendent
consciousness which I never really experienced before. However, I was soon to
abandon this new found interest being a child. I picked it up again at the age
of 12 when my foster parents began to couple their attendance at an orthodox
church (Catholic) with a Pentecostal church. A new wave of Pentecostalism was
sweeping Nigeria, gaining a critical mass since the late 1970s through the early
1980s. In the year 1989, I became a born again Christian, a brand of
Christianity that grew in power and numbers like wild fire in the dry season in
Nigeria. Having a simple and sincere disposition I followed the teachings of
this religion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;"> When I attained puberty I struggled with sexual desire, feelings
of guilt, and self-repression. My impression was that the human was vile and
corruptible, as was reinforced by repeated sermons. I pursued morality without
a basic awareness of what is, but to please God in order to get a reward, which
was immediate blessings and ultimately heaven, and to avoid punishments or
curses, with the worst being eternal damnation in hell. As I began to grow
older, approaching adolescence, I sought for my own personal experience of the
stories I read about in the Bible. Miracles of the age to come, the
supernatural, and eschatology became obsessions. I knew that I had no
experiential knowledge of these things. I wanted evidence to validate my
dogmatic reality--a reality that was capricious and based on only what I had
read and heard from humans like myself. I had to. I had no alternative. It was
the only worldview I had and it was becoming unstable and troubled with doubt.
But how could I doubt it? How dare I reject my worldview? Instead, I looked for
evidence to support and reinforce it more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a>I read books on near death
experiences, miracles, and the supernatural. I had to sustain my faith belief
somehow. Sadly, other areas of my life suffered terribly. My mind was so
undeveloped that I lacked selfconfidence outside religious matters. In my
university days, I joined forces with more born again Christians and continued
to try to find reality. “Experience is, for me, the highest authority. The
touchstone of validity is my own experience. No other person’s ideas, and none
of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience. It is to experience
that I must return again and again, to discover a closer approximation to truth
as it is in the process of becoming me.” Carl Rogers Deep inside I was afraid
and knew that I was unable to face the world as an adult. I needed God to help
me. Was it not written that we are dust, and to dust we must return? That we
are nothing? In ourselves we fail woefully? Shrouded beyond reach, the self,
became repressed in obscurity. Inevitably, I was paving the way for a
mega-crisis, going against the grain of human mental well-being. I began to
fast, repeated dry fasts that would last 3 days. And I read books by hard bent
born again Christians, but wanting my own experiences of life. Then
schizophrenia struck.<br />

regarded as tools of personal growth, magnifying our most deep rooted beliefs
and fears similar to how the “common” ego reflects our insecurities. In both
cases, we are being shown our self-sabotaging perceptions as an opportunity to
re-empower ourselves to transcend them.” Elina St-Onge</i> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">From the age of 22 to 33
I had about 4 active episodes of schizophrenia, the final episode lasting for 2
years. I saw hell in the real sense of the word. My sufferings and horrors in
their magnitude make me stand in awe of the human mind and its power. In the
interims of sanity I became a free thinker, or possibly an atheist, with no
faith-belief any more. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">At first it was extremely scary. How could I live this
life by myself if there was no God to help me? I was completely inadequate and
my mind was poorly developed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">I didn’t know reality, so how could I master
circumstance? The question of facing adulthood came to me during my National
Youth Service when I was away from home and had to fend for myself. I saw
myself as I really was and knew I had nothing to offer society after spending 5
years in the university. An experience that I would call in retrospect
selfconsciousness or self-awareness. Once the socio-religious forces had been
broken, the self 2 which had hitherto been in obscurity could be seen in its
shrivelled state. In this awareness I chose to find a way. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">And yes, I did find my first self-help literature –
<b>The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership</b> authored by John C. Maxwell. I learnt my
first lessons of the laws of life in that book. As I began to test these
principles, I saw results! I was beginning to gain control. I could lead; I
could make things happen! The quest for self-improvement and self-determination
imbued my soul. I devoured self-help literature voraciously as I began to grow
in confidence and self-mastery. I felt indescribable joy in my new reality. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">However, my battle with schizophrenia persisted because I didn’t stick to my
medication, as it hadn’t dawned on me yet that I really had a condition. In the
interludes of sanity, I was extremely successful in my career, growing fast and
achieving things I could never have imagined and then I would break down again.
Yet even at this, in those brief interludes of sanity I had successfully been
able to map reality, understand the laws of life, and achieve mastery. So in the
last traumatic experience that lasted 2 years, where I lost everything I had
managed to build over the years, and ended up in poverty and depression, I
started all over from the scratch. With the blue print already available in my
consciousness, I simply changed my circumstances in 2 years. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">With a faulty and
fairly used lap top and a monthly salary of a little over $200, I made it to
the world’s leading university – the University of Cambridge. But how did I do
it? On being discharged from the Aro Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Abeokuta,
Nigeria, in 2010, I was taken back home to Sagamu where I was living at the
time. Heavily sedated by psychotic drugs, I was deeply depressed and battled
with despair. With no one to support me financially it was critical I took up a
job for myself to survive. Yet there was little I could do, having lost all
zest for living that was characteristic of my life before the illness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">The
easiest job for me to get in the small town, given my current state, was a
teaching position. I went in search of one. I got a job as an entry level
biology teacher but was certainly over qualified with a Master’s degree and
over 9 years’ experience as a professional conservation biologist. I never made
it past 3 months in the school however, as I was fired without warning or
explanations. In truth, I wasn’t teaching but just making 3 recitations before
the students. In my depression all light had gone out of me. I couldn’t find
access to inner strength any more but dreamt of suicide. Thankfully, a year
later, in May 2011 the depression lifted as the dosage of my medication was
reduced. As soon as the depression disappeared the real ‘I’ was reborn! At this
time I secured a teaching position in another school. Fully aware of the laws
of life as I mastered them in prior years of my sanity, I took control of my
destiny under the dire conditions of poverty and limitation I was living in. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;"><i>“Specifically, leading requires ‘ownership’ of the meanings of personal
responsibility and accountability. It means fully internalizing the human truth
that in your world, nothing happens unless you personally make it happen. You
must understand that the consequences of your action and inaction are like your
children – you create them, they are extensions of you, you are responsible for
them, for you are they, but they live their own lives nevertheless. It is
therefore a ‘fact’ of the structure of human nature that you are responsible
for your world. Dependency and paternalism are cruel illusions. The real world
is made for the autonomous and self-reliant individual”. Peter Koestenbaum</i></span></div>

though the teaching job was mediocre, compared to my career aspirations and
ambitions, I put my heart into it and worked with dignity and a heart of
contribution. </span></div>

uninteresting and dull the round of his duties, he should do his best. He
should dignify what he is doing by the mind he puts into it, he should vitalize
what little he has of power or energy or ability or opportunity, in order to
prepare himself to be equal to higher privileges when they come. This will
never lead man to that weak content that is satisfied with whatever falls to
his lot. It will rather fill his mind with that divine discontent that
cheerfully accepts the best – merely as a temporary substitute for something
better”. William George Jordan</i> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">I taught my students until 4pm in the evening
and then picked up my virtual volunteer work with an international conservation
organization (Society for Conservation Biology) I had been volunteering with
for years, where I learnt professional skills, discipline, and found voice. I
had strict adherence to this routine: 8am-4pm --- teaching job; 5pm-7pm ----
virtual volunteering.</span></div>

dream – one must commit oneself to a schedule for working on it; one must not
waiver from it. There are always excuses. Life is a bottomless pit of
rationalizations and the reasons for not doing something, so one must simply
not allow for any. Regularity is critical to discipline and success; he who
aspires to 4 some achievement must get a rhythm and work schedule going in his
life and keep banging on the drum. Accomplishments are built upon a steady,
incessant accumulation of individual actions”. Tom Lombardo</i> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">There was an inner
transformation and a colossal growth of my inner being, so that I knew in
profundity that soon my inner reality would match my outer reality given my
circumstances. And so in late 2011, 2 years after my discharge from the hospital
I applied for a scholarship to study in Europe but didn’t make it. I persisted.
I continued with my routine and worked hard. In 2012, I tried again, this time
applying to the University of Cambridge and another school as encouraged by one
of my mentors - Phoebe Barnard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">Then my reality changed in 2013 when I received
news of the award of three international scholarships, two of which I declined
to accept the most favorable. I accepted a Miriam Rothschild Scholarship to
study Conservation Leadership in the University of Cambridge! Why Conservation
Leadership? Nature and environmental protection to me has been a conduit of
expressing a spiritual longing to contribute to humanity and the planetary
process. A cause larger than myself, working to conserve nature in the
environmental crisis stretches my potentiality and gives my life a basis of
significance and highest means of self-culture. Today spirituality has a new
meaning to me </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="st"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="st"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Wise people have always
known how to study the seasons and make necessary plans either for sowing or
harvest. Many have argued that the challenge most African countries face is
that of Leadership, without any argument, it has become obvious that the ills
we experience are symptoms of leadership challenge. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="st"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="st"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">To take a cue from leaders
who could foresee and plan for their citizens, would give insight into how
leaders of today should plan for their future. Ancient history has the story of
a king in Egypt – Pharaoh, who had a strange dream, which was eventually
interpreted by one Joseph to be seven years of plenty and following is another
seven years of famine. Joseph was eventually going to create a plan, not to
avert the aforementioned period of draught but to manage and cater for a
country whose citizens as at then were acclaimed to be the second of the two
great civilizations in existence. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Geographically,
Egypt is mostly desert except for the Nile River. The Nile is the greatest
river in the world, and if it didn’t flow through Egypt the country would be
just sand. In ancient times only 3% of Egypt was inhabitable, arable land.
Question here is how would 3% arable land be harnessed to cater for this nation
for 7 years of famine? Here is how Joseph, who eventually became
second-in-command in the entire realm, mapped out a strategy to ensure storage
of grains for the period of plenty to provide relief when the great famine
came. He advised that the fifth part of all the grain harvests stored for the
next seven years, so that when the famine struck, Egypt would have food
sufficient to sustain itself. </span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He further suggested that Pharaoh name a single
adviser to take charge of these efforts, and to set all policy regarding
farming, the storage of grain, and the distribution of grain during the famine.
They survived seven years of famine because a leader could look into the future
and plan strategically, that was with not much machines or advancement in
technology as we have today. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">This story for great thinkers shouldn’t be much of
a surprise, Africa has two seasons, and one with an understanding of the season
would know that the rainy season is time for sowing, which is preparation for
the dry season, when there would be no rain except harvest. In a country where
we are experiencing dwindling oil prices, our sowing should have been in the
excess crude account and today we should have a relief, not a bailout.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">In
2014, Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) rated
Nigeria as 136 corrupt country in the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nigeria
has experienced infrastructure deficit, political instability, cash crunch and
other contributing factors that has kept us in the league of third world
nations. Despite our environmental factors, Nigeria’s perceived way out of its
challenge is its willingness to embrace good governance. A large number of
Nigeria’s population have indicated that if we get our leadership obligation
right, we would rid corruption to a minimum. There is no doubt that a lot of
awareness has been done by civil societies and non-profits, however, most of
them lack the structure to accommodate aspiring leaders, groom them as well as
direct their paths into the political fabric that embodies the leadership of
our nation, their structure ends in simulation and not in the field of play.
You realize that beyond these challenges, that leaders are able to transcend,
however, there are competencies they need to develop to fire up their influence
and acceptability by the citizenry, which endorses their role.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 things every leader should know<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Leadership
style should transcend culture<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">Culture in this context is not necessarily
ethnicity; it is nepotism, disregard for merit, and low esteem for hard work
and diligence. A leader’s style is who he is, with principles based on
personality ethics of standards that has stood the test of time. These values
are embedded in our habits and ultimately become the destiny of our nation. If
we commit to create and internalize accommodative styles of nurturing global
networks, appraise processes and systems to expose what works, and eventually
implement results of what works to collectively engage our community of
citizens, this is of utmost a style that absorbs value and excellence and not
people by bias.</span></div>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Leadership
is not superiority<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Leadership is neither superiority nor
inferiority; it is the neutrality and balance between the two. Leadership in
Africa has been positional, often times when the individual leaves the seat of
power, their influence becomes negligible. Balance in linking upwards,
downwards and across, ability to stretch to reach those who are far from the
merit of our role or leadership, is responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The moment leaders think they have
reached the buildup, they begin to decline. Idi Amin of Uganda promoted himself
to the position of Field Marshall, however, what was obtainable at his time of
reign was brutal killings, lack of freedom and economic jeopardy. Our
perception of growth should be one of a journey in relation to going beyond
yesterday, it keeps us open, innovative and improves our ability to solve
problems. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Responsibility should be to everybody
and nobody; it is in return to the election of leaders by citizens and an
obligatory role.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Okorie is known to many as </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Leadership Doctor</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> due to his

off as a 19 year old college student, Linus set out evangelising Nigeria on the
need for Integrity, Courage, Great Communication skill, Self-development
amongst many other values as the only way to become great leaders and in turn
develop the nation. He was one of the proponents of the fact that leadership is
everyone's responsibility and is not just positional, in Nigeria.
Having established his non-profit organisation <a href="http://guardians%20of%20the%20nation%20international%20%28gotni%29/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4d469c; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Guardians of the Nation International (GOTNI)</span></a> in 2004, he

<a name='more'></a>Following his antecedent as a graduate of History and International Relations from <b>Imo State University</b> and becoming a <b>Fellow of the African Business School</b>, with which he has headed major Leadership campaigns in Nigeria, USA as well as in the UK, Linus has once again made a mark as a Nigerian pioneer to graduate with a <b>Masters in Organisational Leadership from Regent University, USA</b>. He has become one of the few Africans who have acquired such a degree as no university in Africa, currently offers it. Thus he is at the moment investing in an African Leadership Centre.<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Going by his zest to see Nigeria develop by having her citizens transformed and leading in their spheres, Linus has hosted major leaders, like the first professor of Leadership in the world; <b>Prof. John Adair</b>, also late <b>Myles Munroe</b>, <b>Amb. George Fraser, </b>as well as lots of prominent leaders from Nigeria and beyond. It is noteworthy that his degree in Organisational Leadership which he graduated from on May 9, 2015 at Virginia USA have equipped him to continue to lead the pack of Nigerians who are also advocating good leadership skills in Nigeria and for Africa. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b>GOTNI Leadership Centre</b> is a great investment by Nigerians who are joining GOTNI to fully institutionalise <b>Leadership Capital Development</b> in Africa starting from Nigeria. It was on this promise, that a GOTNI Delegation paid a visit to the <b>Canadian High Commission</b> on Tuesday, May 5th, 2015 in Abuja.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It afforded the organisation a platform to communicate the projects of GOTNI to the country of Canada and with excitement, we look forward to great collaborations in bringing leadership grooming resources and facilitators to Nigeria.</span></div>

The atmosphere was real and the ambience very much motivating like Myles Munroe was present in the room.<b> Continue to get more and see pictures</b></span><br />

Purpose is infectious and that is the real essence of life and times of Myles Munroe. The black-tie event re-echoed the fact that “the greatest tragedy in life is not death but a life lived without purpose”. Sam Oye, amongst others, highlighted his words “Die empty”! “Disappoint the Grave”!. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
