Do we celebrate those who have touched our lives in positive ways or we suck up to those we feel can give us a few 'çoins' and praise them like they have more importance than the Almighty Himself?
Should we have to go this route to drum up support from the public to save the life of an icon like Uncle Yinka who has touched the lives of generations of Nigerians, Young & Old, Home & Abroad, East, North, West or South?Do we celebrate those who have touched our lives in positive ways or we suck up to those we feel can give us a few 'çoins' and praise them like they have more importance than the Almighty Himself?

Its not fair the way we are so self-centered as a people, we only care about ourselves and those close to us and neglect others we perceive as not being beneficial to us. Must something bad happen (God forbid though) before some no good idiots looking for cheap publicity fall over themselves to organise a 'state burial'?
Where are the Banks and their billions (or they no longer have CSR Programmes again)? Where are the Big Boys and Big Girls of this country (and we hear some anonymous Money Miss Road bought a jeep worth mega millions for Miss Ozolua just to impress her)? Where are the Politicians, Governors, Senators and LG Chairmen (or are they busy siphoning our money into their various accounts so they can further oppress us)? Where are the cheap society magazines that only bother to celebrate vanity and half-naked women? Where is the media and what is wrong with devoting a huge space of their media vehicles to drum up awareness about Mr Craigs situation? Where are Nigerians and why are we not making this an issue of national importance?
We have a voice and united, we can do something fast to save the life of this man who still has so much to offer this country. I commend the originators of this group for their noble effort and hope we can all join hands to support them.
May I therefore kindly ask that we sign up at least 1000 people and send a strong petition to the Presidency, the National Assembly, all State Governments, Major Corporate Organizations, Media Houses, Individuals and other useful contacts to do something urgent about the health Uncle Yinka Craig.

Counsel for the African youth
Excerpts from a speech by Flt Lt. J.J. Rawlings when we visited him in August’07
Communication and information are necessary not only for development but essentially for survival. Promote the Nation and not individuals or personal agenda, that’s what accounts for the high sense of patriotism in
If you find yourself in Governance, carry the masses along bring the goings on to their level of understanding. Give value to your words pacta sunt servanda, words should not loose its essence it should carry with it a sense of responsibility
Westernization has taken away our sense of social responsibility and the savage of capitalism is destroying our social sense of responsibility. Instead of the right of might let us embrace the might of right by contributing our share daily of doing good and understanding that we are collectively responsible for the plight of
Remember that you don’t have a long time to be young. The youth have the capacity to determine the trend of a Nation and youthful adventurism is a great tool for development. Develop an innovative and indigenous economy, not consumption based economy that imports everything and produces nothing.
Have a desire to dominate self and not others the desire to dominate others is a sign of weakness. The use of the medium of fear to rule or power as a tool for manipulation should not be embraced. Power without authority or the will of the people is naked tyranny.

You may not have a choice as to your present state of employ but remember the fish philosophy………
Choose your attitude- When you are doing what you are doing, are you being impatient and bored or are you trying to be the world famous. Everyday you get an opportunity to choose your attitude to work and to life generally.
Play- Have a fun attitude towards life and everything you find to do, put in lots of energy and you’d find out its not that bad, you may even begin to enjoy it.
Make their day- A lively spirit is very infectious, involve people around you in your world of fun it creates more energy and goodwill.
Be present- Let the people around you have confidence in your presence, a smile or a kind word may be all the solution to your customer’s problem.
