The 5th Edition of the Ghana Nigeria Youth Summit came on successfully on Saturday 28th April,2018 at the Onikan Youth Center, Onikan-Lagos. Diplomats from the Ghana High Commission, Government officials, young people from all walks of life, Lawyers, owners of private schools, professionals from different fields of endeavor were all in attendance to share their views and make positive contributions at the summit that had its theme as ‘CHARTING A POSITIVE ECONOMIC PATH FOR AFRICA,GHANA AND NIGERIA MUST SET THE PACE’.

 Declaring the Summit open, Comrade Barry Ndu Nwaihim, Convener of the Ghana Nigeria Youth Summit appreciated all the Delegates that came from Ghana, Nigeria and other parts of Africa for the event. He stated that the 5th Edition of the event was brought to Lagos – Nigeria because of the huge number of Ghanaians resident in that part of the country and to also offer an opportunity for Nigerians who couldn’t come to Ghana for the first four editions to interact directly with their Ghanaian counterparts. He said that the main idea behind the vision is to continuously offer a platform for Ghanaians and Nigerians to constantly discuss issues that affect the African continent and proffer solutions in an atmosphere of brotherliness, love and unity. Comrade Barry Ndu noted that the huge intellectual and natural resources in both countries can be utilized effectively for the betterment of the people. He advised African leaders to always involve young people in issues of Governance as they have the capacity to deliver. He called on private individuals, companies and Government to always support such laudable initiatives that promotes unity and cooperation among sister countries. He recounted the ordeal they went through in getting funding during the planning of the event as most companies prefer sponsoring Beauty pageants than intellectual events like this that add value to human existence. He thanked the Lagos state Government through the Ministry of Youth and social Development for giving them the venue to use. He pleaded with positive minded individuals to support The Youth Entrepreneurship and Skills Acquisition Center (YESAC) so many young people can have the opportunity to be trained on their preferred skill.

Sir Celestine Omehia,Former Governor of Rivers State who delivered the Keynote Address at the event urged young people to become agents of positive change, stating that they can achieve anything they set their heart to do if they remain consistent and committed to it. He commended the organizers for putting together such a wonderful programme that had an array of the best leaders in attendance. He appreciated their commitment and promised to always support their initiative as it is geared towards fostering a positive alliance between the two great West African countries. He took the Guests down memory lane on the relationship between the two countries which dates back before independence. The former Governor of Rivers state was enthusiastic that Africa can get it right if its youthful population can wake up and become fully involved in leadership rather than always waiting to be spoon fed.

He asked for unnecessary trade barriers within West African countries to be lifted so that there would be more inflow of Businesses and Development.

Mr Maxwell Awiaga,the Consul Genreal,Ghana High Commission who represented the Ghana High Commissioner to Nigeria was so excited and joyful .He indicated that this was the first time in a long time that such event aimed at bringing citizens of the two countries was being held in Lagos. Mr. Awiaga, who ensured that Diplomats from the Ghana High Commission, Ghanaian citizens in Lagos and environs were in attendance, commended the organizers and assured of the High Commission’s support in all their plans going forward. He believes that it would be beneficial for Ghana and Nigeria if they can effectively trade among themselves.

Rt. Hon Onofiok Luke,the Speaker Akwaibom State House Of Assembly whose entry into the venue elicited joy and excitement on the faces of already seated Guests delivered a thought provoking and wisdom packed lecture. His achievements as speaker of a state House of assembly even at a young age remain an inspiration to many young people across Africa. He called on African youths to stand up and be counted as power is not given but taken. He said that time has come when young people needs to get involved in Economic and leadership issues. He wondered why African countries cannot trade among themselves but find it easier to do business with foreign countries. He called on the leadership of African countries to device a means and strategy that would make it easy for countries to easily do business among themselves.

Mr Paul Drapson, the Speaker of Ghana Youth Leadership parliament who mobilized his members to attend from Ghana hoped for more collaboration with the organizers. He stated that they are on a mission to work with positive minded groups in championing a better future for African youth. He invited Guests to their next parliamentary seating in August.

Mrs Talatu Ogunlana,CEO of Rare Gems Gold and Jewelry was optimistic that the caliber of young people she saw at the event can take Africa to the next level of Development. She said that Nigerian youths are not lazy but hardworking and positive minded. She assured of her constant and unflinching support to the group.

The Youth Entrepreneurship and Skills Acquisition Center (YESAC) was officially launched to offer a platform for unemployed people to learn different skills so they can become useful to society rather than waiting for Government job.

HADIZA!
I remember few years ago, we composed love song, we sang love song and we danced in love.

HADIZA!
I remember I thought you Ogirinya dance and you liked it and then you said, “Abah, we are going to dance Ogirinya together forever”. That was the promise that drove me crazy.

HADIZA!
I remember those days that you would never sell any cup of your “nunu” to any customer until I taste it and you would look at me with your sparkling face and pointed nose and smile – the smile that always raptures my soul to the third heaven.

HADIZA!
I remember those days that you would send my sister, Onyeche to me and I would stop whatever I was doing immediately and rush to the Iroko tree along the route to your house and you would say, “Abah, teach me your language; I want to speak Idoma language; I want to greet your mother with Idoma language” and I was proud to tell my friends and mother about you and about our love songs.

HADIZA!
I remember the day I called you my “Ihotu” and you shed tears of joy amidst your usual affectionate smiles. You told me you were privileged to have me in your life and we hugged each other – the first and the last hug in my entire life.

HADIZA!
I remember those days that your elder brother, Hassan lived in my village – hustling freely with his motorcycle day & night and he would stay in Okopi’s drinking joint till midnight before going home and he would go freely and resumes his hustling the following day.

HADIZA!
I remember those days that your uncle, Jibril would match his herds of cattle to River Benue after grazing all day in Okpoga and my father would say, “Jibril, please guide your cattle from my cassava farm o” and Jibril would laugh and say, “I de do my work well well”. He always brought bush meat to my father.

HADIZA!
I remember the Sunday morning that a lorry came to our village and all of you were to be moved from our village and I rushed to you before you entered; you thrust your gaze into mine and burst into deep sobbing; I followed suit. You said you would come back to me and I believed you.

HADIZA!
Where are you now?
You said you would come back to me but it was your brothers that came back.

HADIZA!
Are you aware that your brothers came back with daggers, knives and guns – hunting us like wild animals, roasting us like bush animals, slaughtering our necks like defenseless animals?

HADIZA!
What about the love song we sang together?
What about the Ogirinya dance we danced together every evening under the Iroko tree?
What about our sweet promise of  love?

HADIZA!
Do you still love me?
My heart still beats for you
I still dream about you day & night
My flute still remembers your sweet name

HADIZA!
If you still love me;
Tell your brothers about us
Tell them we only know love songs
Tell them our mouths can’t chant war songs
Tell them we aren’t their enemies or animals

HADIZA!
If you don’t talk to your brothers swiftly
My head may be their next target and you will forever miss me but you may not miss me because my ghost will keep making love with you.
