THEME: NURTURING THE ATTITUDE TO SUCCEED

The program was scheduled for 10am prompt. Saturday 10 August 3013. Our representatives arrived at the event at about 9:50 am. The host of the event and his co- organizers were already present. The program did not start even after two hours of arrival. It is not in our nature to speculate or assume why something ought to happen. But when we asked the organizers, they said "It is well"

The First keynote speaker was Mr. Ani Ikechukwu. He welcomed the guest and participants. He also added that T.C.C was inspired God to the Host: Pastor Uwalaka Moses on his sick bed. T.C.C means TEA CUP CONFERENCE. "To be used when the need arise". T.C.C was also born from Refined Word Outreach Ministry International.

T.C.C is a platform to bring speakers from all works of life to teach people. He urged people to play a part for T.C.C to become a success..... T.C.C is a Kirikiri town initiative.

The second keynote speaker was Geraldine Nneoma Ariolu (C.E.O Neolu limited and deals on her own brand; Noni Hair).

She is an Entrepreneur. She spoke on the topic THE EXTRA. She encouraged participants with her motivational words and her personal life testimony.

What is the extra? Seeking God first (Righteousness), Attitude towards God and man (Exhibit the attitude of gratitude), Uniqueness (Discourage self-limitation), Be a risk taker (Embrace new things for achievement), Change (Work on your mind set), Keep the right company (Good friends), Avoid distractions and Hunger for the things of God(Pray).

Are you ready to step to the next level?, what extra effort have you added to move to the next level? It is your choice to move to the next level.

The third keynote speaker was Mr Omosogie Martins (C.E.O and an Entrepreneur).

He made several references to his life as a student of University of Benin and how he wanted to be a first class student. Vision was his watch word. He discharged words to encourage participants to hear from God and have a vision. He added that vision is greater than site, vision dictates your attitude, until there is a vision you are bound to misbehave, if you have a destination, you don’t need supervision. He also talked about his revelation of patience; it is long cut that brings about shortcut, have the attitude of patience. Omosogie also threw an important question to participants. What do you want to be in the next five years?"

Question and Answer session which was much awaited for has finally arrived. Participants were in a hurry to ask questions because the flow of knowledge was pounding in their heads and simulated in their minds. A panel was set up in order to answer all questions.

Question; did your challenges make you an entrepreneur there by making you leave you current job?

Answer; No, sometimes you have to go through the wilderness of lack in order to strengthen your spirit man. I already had the idea even before working for someone.

Question; as an IT consultant how do you get patronage if you create software’s that could last for years?

Answer; As an IT Company we give solutions. We build software for you with knowledge of the next problem you will encounter.

Question; how is this seminar applicable to the youth of Kirikiri town and what is your advice to them?

Answer; The mentality of Kirikiri town youths is: leave me let me live my life. Nonchalant attitude, living a high life and most of all being money conscious. Whether you like it or not you must develop the right attitude. The world we are looking at is wider and broader. Try to check out for one another and tell them the right direction, tell them the truth. Stop disobedience.

‘‘Anyone who wants to succeed must start from the heart of God''.

From all observations the program was a success and it is the talk that fills the mouth of youths in Kirikiri town who were present for the Maiden Edition of: NURTURING THE ATTITUDE TO SUCCEED.(Business and Relationship Seminar).

There is great hope for the youths of Kirikiri town as we all have decided to rise up and move forth for development proclamation.
