Hey! What! not yet!just a little longer, these are what my heart and passion for young people keeps telling me any time I feel depressed about the day to day situations that young people like me face in Nigeria, Africa and the world as a whole go through. Some time i feel like we are fighting for a course that can never come through because just when I feel am (we) are almost there, then all of a sudden bang!!! Something happens like the resent story of a girl who was raped in my school while on her way back from class where she went to study. And I say to my self “Here we go again”. 

Recently I got to realize that this fight (advocacy) is not necessarily for us but for the generations unborn and all we are trying to do is to build a conducive, good leadership environment bearing in mind that we need healthy and well informed leaders of today and tomorrow that is why we have made the ASRH issue our priority.

I know that at some point or the other you might of letting go considering some of the compromise we have to make, but guess what? IT’S WORTH EVERY BIT OF THE STRESS.

Despite the various challenges we are yet to encounter i have decided not be to be limited in my quest for a perfect future for our generation and and the once to come that is why i am choosing to listen to the words of my heart .As an advocate for youth (change)who serves as a mouth piece for those that cannot be heard .

KEEP PUSHING,KEEP MOVING AND KEEP SPEAKING BCOS WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
