THE BIRTH OF GIS SECOND SESSION

The facilitation of the program was done by Gani. Mr.Tene was interviewed about his past, present and the future after which Uncommon Papa was invited to the stage for rib cracking presentation. The session witnessed over 100 participants. Mr. Praise shared with them on a topic titled 1400 AD

The different between Nigeria and the develop world is ……CHANGE
Change that happen to us
Change that happen around us
Change that we make happen


Three types of people

People that resist change
People that React to change
People that Reject change

-Plan and prepare for change
He who rejects change is the architect of decay
The only human institution that rejects progress is cemetery
Types of people
(1) Makes things happen
(2) Watch things happen
(3) Wonder how things happen
-Where you are now is nothing compared to where you are going
-What you have now is nothing compared to what you can have
Your background has no right to put your back on the ground.
Mr. Praise gave a brief history of Thierry Henry popularly known as Igwe in Nigeria.
- What you say about yourself is important.
- Don’t settle for less
He asked his audience some questions from the story of Thierry Henry. This goes thus
- How many people pay you money for shoe you put on
- Where are you now?
- Where did you want to be?
Remember:
You can make it
You must make it
You will make it.

THANK YOU.
