Your Passion

My strength is my unflinching passion is to get things done

Your Weakness

My weakness is that I care so much about others without putting myself first

Your greatest achievement

My greatest achievement is the ability to reach over 1500 students in about seven secondary schools in Calabar in just six months with my NGO known as Mind Reformers Network

In May this year I started out a campaign with my NGO to meet with students; that is, young Nigerians in order to empower their mindset and discourage them from social vices such as drug abuse, alcoholism, cultism, hooliganism amongst others and also reduce to the barest minimum apathy among Nigerian youths.

I have conducted mind empowerment programmes in about seven secondary schools in Calabar and this has helped in reducing the level security issues in the area.

I have also been to internally displaced persons Camp in Calabar to discuss with young ones and their parents and also to Uyo to discuss with Bakassi returnees with Akwa ibom state origin.

The Mind Empowerment Summit for secondary school students and youths in Calabar will also be holding next month. (You can ask for the link through my contact)

Your greatest accomplishment

My greatest accomplishment is being selected to be one of the delegates to represent Nigeria at the Commonwealth Youth Summit 2017 holding next month in Malaysia.

Your Greatest Challenge

My greatest challenge is access to finance to execute my projects

Your Mentor

My mentor apart from Jesus Christ is Pastor (Dr) W.F Kumuyi and Prince Joshua Oyeniyi

To my audience I will say that suppression never overcomes a determined individual
