We also employ creative means of problem solving and message dissemination which includes: radio broadcasts, film production, book publishing, virtual and physical counseling grass root tour, school tour, online teen’s community and more. In the last 18 years, Teens’ Dream Initiative has been effectively reaching out to thousands of teenagers globally, impacting and positively equipping them for the future assignment.”

“You wil agree with me that leadership, especially in politics has not been presented correctly to our teenagers. Their mindsets have been corrupted with wrong pictures of leadership. Many in positions of leadership are not good examples to them. And some of the youths in leadership who are supposed to light the darkness have been polluted
even before they take over.

Things are so wrong in our country, and many in authoriy are not concerned. We have no hope of tomorrow, even the unborn are scared of coming into the world.

Many teenagers are at a point in life when their future is uncertain and scary. Hearing about the turbulence in social settings and politics and how it is affecting things now and will badly affect the future if nothing is done about it makes many teenagers upset, nervous and confused.

“Many people may not notice this confusion because teenagers are still under their parents’ control. Of course, some have gone haywire, their only way of responding to the cruel society. Others are determined to do the worse as pay back when it is there turn in leadership. And then we blame these young people despite knowing that the society contributed to their confusion”
