Dayo israel- The life of a young leader

Once again as usual, i am in bedford. This time around, it is the first time i will be at bedford college, and i am using a friends login ID to access the internet.Since my telephone connection has being severed (due to non-payment), I was unable to log on to my AOL dial up which definitely ,limit my laptops work power. I feel relieved getting back online to be able to write on the blog.

The first mail i read was from Dayo israel and it goes thus…

Hello Everyone,
Please find attached the information about the ADYF London Regional Conference on Youth Participation for Young Africans in the UK coming up on the 15th of March 2005.
Please read and familiarise yourselves with the informations as we would all have to write something, either an article or a press release about the event at some stage. We would also need someone to develop an Advert/Promo for the event and send to me for proof before we send out.
Tunde please get back to London before then as you would have to Co-chair the event. Gbenga, You have to meet up soonest so we can discuss your role here as an ADYF Board Member. Also My Birthday party is next saturday so I expect you there init. www.birthdaydayo.bravehost.com
 

 

Tunde pls lets talk and Gbenga.
Dayo

Apparently, I haven’t lost any of my youth developments licks and all hands are on deck now. Its a bit stressfull anyway combining school, alongside work with youth development but i consider it a service to humanity. Meeting dayo over next weekend is going to be another promising time to discuss the plights and involvement of young Africans leaving in the UK.

For those who do not know who dayo is, you can check what he has been doing on http://www.dayoisrael.faithweb.com/ .

I seem to go down memory lane and remember the youth for africa day we did in 2004 under the flagship of AFRUCA, an African Non Governmental organisation that is against child trafficking to and from the UK.

Dayo is an embodiment of potential as well a a born youth leader. He was once the Vice president of the Children senate in Nigeria(2003) as well as a Awardee of PEWA (people earnestly working for africa) as well as the present president of ADYF (African Diaspora Youth Forum) A forum for young people in the UK.

Shayne Wards-Thats my Goal

 is funny how time flies” i said to myself as i wait at a “pumpkin” cafe shop encamped in the train station at bedford. The weekend Holiday is over. I just cant imagine how fast it went as my day to day life activities seems to come back to me.i had rushed out of the house i was staying in( Thanks to Yinka) as i didnt wanted to miss the train only to discover that i anticipated to go one hour earlier than the train itself.so i had no choice than to wait at the train station. In this case inside the coffee cafe shop.Life is back to normal again, The sleeping, the working, the church thing, school thing( i am lacking behind seriously) the youth forum thing as well.I still haven’t got over the X-factor. I just cant stop thinking of it. How on earth can shayne be better than andy.The weekend was the last episode for the X-factor 2005. I didn’t really like it from the beginning but i must say that a very close friend has influenced me into becoming crazily mad.it dominated the headlines of the Daily papers. The metro, the sun, the daily star, the guardian, e.t.c.

Maybe’m being sentimental about this, but I think Andy deserves it more than shayne does. shayne is a prettier(excuse my language) handsome, 21 year old guy, thereby increasing his female fans. He beat Andy by 1.4% and he is crowned the king of X-factor.it is however possible for his new debut single to top the UK music chart. He particularly was flawless in his performances and “journey south”, another contestant was’nt up to match as they were  relegated to the third position.

Struggling with Faith

Today was appealing at the RCCG pathfinder parish Manchester. We did stage a drama to showcase young people struggling with “being Christians” In the UK. With Jumoke(always around), Tiwadayo(God bless you), Emmanuel(God sees u), Bayo(its him again), Dayo(Here you are), the drama was able to artistically showcase the youth forums individual talents in acting. With more things to come, i foresee a dynamic youth forum with all members contributing their quota in every ramifications.
