1000 Points of Light.

I had the privilege of being part of a revolutionary program put together by the Daniels Generation, a revolutionary youth arm of RCCG Olive tree assembly. Banana Island, Ikoyi.

The program was tagged Conversation to change the Nation- 1000 points of light. The objective was to light up 1000 participants that will contagiously light up others to positively advance the nation. It was an avenue for youths to ask the leaders some questions that have been bothering them over time concerning the state of the nation.

We had several seasoned speakers like His Excellency, Governor Babbtunde Raji Fashola, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Leke Alder, Soji Apampa, Bode Agusto, Yemi Adelekan, Olayemi, Cardaso and a host of others.

In order to give you an insight into what we learnt, I have decided to give you some bullet points of what the first speaker spoke on. They resonate with me; I want to believe it should do same with you.

The governor was the first to speak, he started by saying that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria, that if we resolve that this is what we want as a nation and collectively adhere to set standards, we will thrive.

• This country is not a lost cause
• We live in a country where we make more babies without corresponding Hospitals to take care of these babies
• Buy more cars without building new roads- The last major road constructed in Lagos was the third main land bridge.
• The more people who try to access limited resources, the more frustrated they become… We live in country where more people are struggling to have access to limited resources…
• Infrastructural renewal is one of our core goals in developmental plans
• A greener and cleaner environment is a healthy environment
• The measure of progress in any state is whether or not your government is responsive.
• We must imbibe the right attitude that nothing is impossible
• An attitude that only us can limit us
• This is the attitude needed for change
• We must re-examine our values, without the right values, everything built will collapse.
• Nothing can stand in our way with proper values, right attitude and belief, nothing is impossible.
• IT IS POSSIBLE.

That was the closing charge. IT IS POSSIBLE.

Be and lead d change!
