What Others Are Saying<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Impactful Journey<\/span><\/p>\n

Ziyad Rube Abdule (Ethiopia)<\/span><\/p>\n

Zizu_rub@yahoo.com<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a Level Seven student and while embarking on my IIGL Studies, I was working at a rural district where Internet is a luxury and getting access to books was tough. That was the beginning of the journey where in a moment I set my mind to a different perspective in life. The free books I got from IIGL were a God dropped opportunity to awaken the giant within me. It built the winning power inside me, no matter how challenging and painful the battle will be. It only took me a while to become a key figure in one of the local food security coordination office, a well recognized student leader in a campus, a successful academician in my studies, and an International Scholarship Winner where I travelled across four continents. Indeed, IIGL has helped me to clearly define myself, to set down my goals and priorities; some of which I have already become a reality by the planned time. I expanded my horizons from education to finance, from travel to marriage and from families to friends. I have a dream a day will come when all the students and graduates of IIGL will one day come together physically to share their journey of self-transformation to the whole world. I am grateful to IIGL!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Our Students Are Reading<\/strong><\/span>
\n Good Leaders Ask Great Questions By: John Maxwell$15.26<\/span><\/p>\n

John Maxwell, America’s #1 leadership authority, has mastered the art of asking questions, using them to learn and grow, connect with people, challenge himself, improve his team, and develop better ideas. Questions have literally changed Maxwell’s life. In Good Leaders ask Great Questions, he shows how they can change yours, teaching why questions are so important, what questions you should ask yourself as a leader, and what questions you should be asking your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maxwell also opened the floodgates and invited people from around the world to ask him any leadership question. He answers seventy of them; the best of the best; including:<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the top skills required to lead people through difficult times?<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I get started in leadership?<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I motivate an unmotivated person?<\/span><\/p>\n

How can I succeed working under poor leadership?<\/span><\/p>\n

When is the right time for a successful leader to move on to a new position?<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you move people into your inner circle?<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter whether you are a seasoned leader at the top of your game or a newcomer wanting to take the first steps into leadership, this book will change the way you look at questions and improve your leadership life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meet Our New Students<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are happy to welcome three new students this month all from Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adiele Ijeoma (Nigeria)<\/span><\/p>\n

I am from Umuikaa, in Isiala Ngwa south local government of Abia state. In the family of six, I am the first child and the first daughter of my family. I am fair In complexion. I am a cheerful and free persons also a likeable person, have lots of good and nice friends but I hate cheaters and cruel people, I love people that are strength forward, people who I can learn positive things from not negative things, also people who respects the idea of others. I schooled in royal college Aba that is in my primary and secondary level and graduated from Madonna university Elele campus in my tertiary level, where I studied nursing science. My personal interest in life is to leave a life of emulation a Christ like life that will motivate people around me to leave a rightful and fulfilled life. My dreams and goals in life are to use my profession as a platform to reach out to people in need, the elderly and also rehabilitate the sick ones. I love traveling too, I have been to Portharcourt, Abuja, Owerri, Enugu, Okigwe, Benue state. I love reading so much, such as inspirational and motivational books, also love watching movies such as Nigerian movies, foreign movies, Philippines movies and Indian movies. I have also participated in skill acquisition entrepreneurship development program which has been and added knowledge to me in life where different skills are been thought such as baking of cakes, bread, and also how to make liquid soap, car wash, creams, and detergents. I have also embark on a project of eradicating HIV and AIDS in Owerri where HIV screening test is done and also counseling is given to everyone especially the victims who will always think that there is no remedy for it again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nurudeen, Yusuf Temilola (Nigeria)<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a graduate of Law, hardworking, diligent and value delivering young Nigerian. My professional abilities and skills are indubitable. For my hard work, high professionalism and enthusiasm, I have won awards and laurels that distinguished me in youth advocacy. I am branded by friends as a very analytical person with a brisk mind and high learning abilities, I am able to quickly adapt to sudden environment change, exceptionally responsible and reliable. Being naturally decent, I am a high performer, a demonstrated team player with excellent problem solving and leadership qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n

My experiences have made me find human rights advocacy fascinating. As the President of Lagos State University Students\u2019 Union in 2014, I championed the reversal of LASU fee after 4years when students were dropping out in droves. This incredible fit was achieved with the cooperation of students and the optimal use of the social media. We embarked on aggressive public sensitization that formed #SaveLASU (see- https:\/\/goo.gl\/NCmlBc ), maximized the social media and developed a proposal to convince the then Governor of Lagos, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), to revert to old rate of N25,000 (see- http:\/\/goo.gl\/nwzalT ), thereby making university education affordable and accessible to thousands of Nigerian youths. My mantra was; \u201cEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bakare Wale (Nigeria)<\/span><\/p>\n

I am the founder of Webfala Digital Agency. Webfala Digital Agency was established in 2015. The company is built on a firm foundation provided by my many years in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry. The major reason behind my desire to establish the agency was 2013 when I was selected as Google Student Ambassador in my University, and during this period I learned a lot of skills that can help to promote businesses using different online platform and I decided that for the future sustainability of my lifestyle, I needed flexibility and the opportunity to control my own destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a graduate of Zoology, University of Ilorin, Nigeria and a Digital Media Expert. I had my Nursery and Primary education at Treasure International school, Lagos and Senior Secondary Examination certificate (SSCE) at Holy Angel college where I passed out in flying colors. During my days in the University I am the president Union of Campus Journalists. I am a veteran writer and an essayist for many national dallies which includes National Mirror, Compass, Tribune, Vanguard, Punch and the Nation newspaper, also a freelance writer for different online media. I received the Best Journalist of the year Award by National Association of Nigeria Students (NASS) 2012, Media personality of year by Union of Campus Journalists (UCJ) 2014, 3rd position, Dr. Femi A. Adetola Business Proposal Competition, 2014 and also Award of appreciation in recognition of my partnership with MTN foundation in \u201cwhat we can do together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Make A Difference<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dream Team 22<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 220 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL? You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below.
