Happy Birthday Jumoke

One person i wont forget today is Jumoke Hamzat. A virtous lady with infectious smile and a sense of intelligence.She is the secretary of RCCG Pathfinder parish as well as the secretary of the integrity youth club (www.integrityouths.8m.net ) .  One thing about Jummygirl that amazes me is that power of music........she's got it all.

Happy Birthday Baby girl........Today is your day.

All of 'em in one word

I felt compelled by the Holyspirit to write everyone this letter. its approximately 6 days we finish the Youth sunday. I felt so tired that i had to go on leave for two days and put everything behind me. I thank God that the program was a success, it wont have happened if not for the joint effort of everybody at Integrity youth club.considering the preparations, the coordination, the administration, We did’nt do too bad for a beginning.I particularly think we are getting to know each others strengths and weaknesses and building up a team of young people with integrity. I look forward to more programmes like this

I won’t go further without recognising everybody who’s effort has impressed me a lot;

1.For Jeff, your maturity is too much for me as i can’t stop learning much more and more from you.” I know the lord” is a hit track( permit me to say that), the youth talk was also compelling.

2.Jumoke Hamzat, the best secretary the youth team has. I just can’t praise your versatility enough. Even when the president forgets so much, your ability to remember saves the day, i must say that i covet that voice of yours ( Naughty of me, isnt it?lol)

3.Dammy Matte- U were great during the dance presentation.your presence in the team has brought a flow of energy.

4.Dare- Tell me about those base guitar and keyboard licks…we can always rely on God by your side.

5.The two Bayo’s- You are simply da bomb.please dont relent on your effort to be better than what you are. God loves you.

6.Olamide- your dance moves stir a lot of excitement in the crowd.

7.Tunde - Thanks a lot for teaching us the dance. That “afrobeat” song was exciting.

8. Sade - Thanks for the food ( alongside Jumoke), what a canal way to end a day of spiritual significance. we were great.

9.Laolu- I personally think your personality commands a lot of respect.

10.Dayo-You are a member of a vital force in the development system, God bless you abundantly

11.Bro Kola- You are God’s ambassador, I wish to c more of you in drama

12.cilia- You did what u are able to do in a proper way.God is your strength

13.Jumoke sapara- You were flawless doing the ushering. I could see you doing your job when i was on the podium

14.Wumi Adefioye- God is your strength, he understands how much u struggling hard to make it up for the forum. God bless you abundantly

I particularly love the month of December, it helps me evaluate where i am coming from, where i am, and where i am going.Have u ever take planning a whole year into consideration?. One of my vision for 2005 is to start a degree in IT and computing, which i achieved. Others are strengthing my relationship with God( Hence the birth of Integrity youth club),Increasing my involvement in the world of ICT and youth development. One of the things i have failed to achieve this year is “gaining more weight”( weird is’nt?) and travelling to south Africa( i wanted to meet Nelson Madiba Mandela, dont ask me how!) Making resolutions, mapping out plans and looking forward to the year ahead is an inteeligent way of architecting the future. what did u intend doing successfully this year?, did u meet up with target?, what did u achieve?. Achieving plans require setting goals, making decisions, building up self esteem and taking action. Why dont you go back to the drawing board, as the year rolls to an end, evaluate yourself, and make new plans for the coming year.

If u have the will, then yo’ve got the way. God bless you all.

Olugbenga Aijotan

President

 

N.B Look forward to the youth website( I am still constructing it) at www.integrityouths.8m.net

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.
