Opening Remark at the Reformers League’s Maiden “Focus Inspired” Seminar Series. In Uni-Abuja on Saturday 1st July, 2017 By Temitope T. Abiodun Esq. (Partner Reformers League)

Dearest undergraduates, participants, ladies and gentlemen.

I am greatly honoured to be making the opening remark and introduction at the maiden edition of this programme. This delights me even more, as I was a student of the prestigious University of Abuja for 5-6 years, so in equal proportion, I regard it as me paying homage to my Alma Mata of which I am a proud alumni.

Retrospectively speaking, in my final year (500 level) before my final exams at the university; as is normal with leaving a familiar territory to a “strange at first” location, I was afraid. I was transiting into the university of life which like concrete became realer each day! I was ruffled as to what would become of me afterwards, and unlike many of my “smart mates” who had somehow stacked up savings enough to begin a business venture, I did not have as little as a N100(One Hundred Naira) to my name. Literally, my account needed Jesus.

What would I do? How do I make a clear demarcation between school and the real world?? Was I to be a liability to parents who did well enough to finance me through school??? Well, to cut the story short all these puzzling questions were settled when I was opportuned to attend a programme just like this which transformed my perspective and gave answers to my posers.

Many graduates sink into the hole of depression, some attempt suicide while some actually commit suicide owing to their inability to adjust with the times and make a clear cut distinction between school and reality. The truth is, “times aren’t changing, they have changed!” Only the equipped would be able to adapt with the times and circumvent the tide of unproductive/counterproductive graduates who end the university journey clueless as to the path to chart whilst bemoaning the queue in the competitive labour market.

This is the thrust of this programme, created by Gani Hossana Johnson(LP) and ably partnered by several other gallant men & women including myself who see the growing need to help students/graduates feel secure & safeguarded about their future and aspirations regardless of societal stereotypes and draw backs. We believe no one has to feel the fear that is inspired from leaving the miscellaneous walls of the higher institution, thereby empowering them for their lifelong career enhancement etc. The reality is, life after school can be a be bitter pill to swallow or sweeter than telemundo depending on how informed you are or how equipped one is to handle that phase of earthly life. The concern of this meeting is to deactivate the concerns or needless worries students/graduates nurse, also clarifying their occupational goals.

I enjoin us all to meticulously pay attention to our resource persons who have been carefully selected to shed some light on these concerns and wipe out that destructive web altogether. It promises to be very rewarding, as time well spent multiplies.

Many Congratulations as you guarantee an auspicious and blissful posterity by making a choice to be a part of this meeting. My hearty regards!

   

THANK YOU!!!

UBUNTU* ! *UBUNTU* !! *UBUNTU* !!!
A very nice story from South Africa ...

The motivation behind the Ubuntu culture in South Africa ...

An Anthropologist proposed a game to the South African tribal children ...

He placed a basket of sweets near a tree.

And made the children stand 100 metres away from the tree.

Then he announced that, whoever becomes the first person to reach where the sweets are, would get all the sweets in the basket.

When he said: *on your mark, get set, ready go.......!*

*Do you know what these children did?*

They all held each other's hands and ran together towards the tree. They then shared the sweets equally among themselves, ate the sweets and enjoyed themselves very well.

When the Anthropologist asked them why they did so?,

They *all* answered *"Ubuntu"*.

Which means:-

*How can one be happy when the others are sad?*

Ubuntu in their language means: -

*"I am because we are"*

This is a *strong message* for all generations. Let all of us always have this attitude and spread happiness wherever we go.

Let's have an *Ubuntu* Life ...

_*for*_

*I AM BECAUSE WE ARE*

We celebrate one of our Partners Tope Abiodun Esq. a man of inestimable value, talent and gifting. From all of us in the Re-league's partners team, here's wishing you more laughter, joy, peace and achievement. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY SIR.
