STAND UP AND BE COUNTED

''The year 2014 is the year for youth. It is the year young people will rise to play integral role of rebuilding economies and nations. Young people are agents for progressive development and major assets of every society. Young people are central in every positive change'' - AHMED ADAMU, Chairperson/President, Commonwealth Youth Council

Can Nigerian youth unite to build the country of their choice? Can we shun the Pull Him Down Syndrome as displayed on our daily activities? Can we allow others to hold their views while we hold our own views? Are we ready to forgo gratification and stand on the path of truth? Until we have answers to many of these questions, we will continue to become tools in the hands of the oppressors. Nigerian youth must take up the challenge to be responsible leaders driven by passion for service to the society and their country.


Ahmed Adamu is the pioneer President of the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC), a youth arm of the Commonwealth of Nations spanning over six continents with about 1.2 billion members. He is a Nigerian from Katsina State and a graduate of Bayero University Kano with a PhD in Economics from Newcastle University, UK.

He is the Founder and Pioneer President of Youth Participation for Progressive Development Initiative, member, Katsina State Executive Council Committee on youth restiveness and Unemployment, December, 2011 and Secretary, Constitutional review Committee, Katsina Central Constituency, 2012.

By the way, Ahmed Adamu wife gave birth today to a bouncing baby boy and the father named him, Mohammed. Congratulation to Ahmed Adamu and family. The Insight Nigeria Crew wish you and your household long life and God protection especially during this period of Ramadan Kareem.
 
 THANK YOU AHMED ADAMU, YOU ARE A PRIDE TO OUR NATION.

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren PeƱaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren PeƱaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
