Dear Family and Friends, I felt very humbled and honoured to be one of the selected nominees to have received AN INSPIRATIONAL MAN AWARD 2016, at the recently concluded Mr & Miss Black Beauty Christ College UK Scholarship Pageant 2016 & Inspirational Awards which took place in West London, on Saturday The 16th of April
I was completely and deeply overwhelmed by the depth, substance, integrity and aspirations of the lovely young men and women who contested for This scholarship pageant. These are the leaders of tomorrow.
A BIG THANK YOU to The Royal Sister Alicia Queen and The MR & MISS BLACK BEAUTY UK PAGEANT team for the honour and for organising such an amazing event, and even though this is my 10th Award, it simply feels like the first.
One of my several roles in the community is A Youth empowerment consultant,
In my THANK YOU speech last night, I had THREE MESSAGES for the Youth and pleaded with them to take these THREE MESSAGES very seriously. They are listed below.
1 . I reminded them that ALL GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE POSSIBLE, and they need to feed this into their mindset every single day, They also need to practice what I call the THREE P
Patience, Passion and Perseverance
2. They need to BE the CHANGE they want to SEE IN SOCIETY and never sit on the fence and complain, but always dance in the rain and be part of the action of Life
3. I finally reminded them that no matter how successful they became in Life, they must always always humble themselves.
It has been TWO YEARS NOW, since THE CHIBOK GIRLS have gone missing and I would like to dedicate My INSPIRATIONAL MAN AWARD 2016 to al those humanitarians and patriots of LOVE and UNITY who have been involved in The Campaign to find the MISSING GIRLS
