Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
To inspire and motivate the youth to take their rightful place in the society by counseling, mentoring and coaching the youth through media, starting a foundation i.e. a nongovernmental organization, organizing workshop, summit on purposeful living, peace, identifying their identity and other aspects of development.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
Lack of self awareness as individuals and group. Illiteracy is also another most pressing problem facing the world today and those that were opportune to be literate are swimming deeply in lack of unemployment. Public office holders misrepresenting the masses at the corridor of power. Poverty is also another most pressing problem facing the world today because if there is low level of poverty in various nations of the world (Africa) today many children would have been opportune to have access to quality education, by so doing the high level of illiteracy would have been reduced.
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
There should be adequate counselor, consultant and motivational speakers to enlighten and give the right information on the need to build a healthy, developed and peaceful world. Through media, workshop, NGO and summit, these problem will be solved or reduce to minimum. Individuals and groups should be engaged in self awareness program to identify their identities and purpose in the world. Those representing the masses at the various public offices should do their work very effectively. Young people should also engage in mentorship program and associate with people who will empower and enhance their dreams.
