Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.

My personal vision is to use myself as an example to impact positive attitudes and never die attitude with whoever comes crosses my path in life. I want inspire and motivate people to discover and develop their potential and live life to fullness. In order for this vision to be fulfilled, I need to get a career first in leadership so that I can help more by helping myself first

What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?

One of the pressing issues facing Nigeria today is Overpopulation as the number of people in Nigeria is far beyond the available resources. And this have resulted in degradation of environment, depletion of natural resources, conflicts and wars, rise in unemployment and also high cost of living

How do you feel these problems could best be solved?

Better Education: One of the first measures is to implement policies reflecting social change. Educating the masses helps them understand the need to have one or two children at the most. Families that are facing a hard life and choose to have four or five children should be discouraged. Family planning and efficient birth control can help in women making their own reproductive choices. Open dialogue on abortion and voluntary sterilization should be seen when talking about overpopulation.

Knowledge of Sex Education: Imparting sex education to young kids at elementary level should be must. Most parents feel shy in discussing such things with their kids which result in their children going out and look out for such information on internet or discuss it with their peers. Mostly, the information is incomplete which results in sexually active teenagers unaware of contraceptives and embarrassed to seek information about same. It is therefore important for parents and teachers to shed their old inhibitions and make their kids or students aware of solid sex education.
