The same people who have held power since before some of us were born are still the same people in power this day, or at least their very own children or their proteges, as though there were a monopoly of leadership, whereas there are great people, with great potential, born into this country every day. Why then do we have a shortage of good leadership?

At this year’s Book Day, we showed parents how to raise the critical mass of people with the tools and the character to deliver our dear country, Nigeria. These are the young ones in our parents’ homes. Rough Diamonds that must be polished so that their glory and power will shine and scatter the darkness that holds Nigeria bound. We showed parents that they are the fathers and mothers of the beautiful ones Nigeria has been waiting for and shared with them how to step up to their targeted nurturing roles.
