Yesterday I was speaking to a group of 10 #youths in the university between 100 - 300 level.
I shared what I would have done if I was to go back to my 100 days.
This trend is my personal views on how I could have been better.
I got no regret

In my 100 level days, I should've engaged in extracurricular activities - community development clubs, leadership, mentorship, problem-solving and capacity building.
Ps: While working, I discovered teamwork and leadership are essential skills needed to thrive at work.

In my 200 level days, I should've engaged in passion discovery and relate my passion with my course of study. I will learn the act of turning passion into business and business into profit.

Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leader’s right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love & honesty to grow
And living just & true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace & justice shall reign.

This second stanza of the national anthem is
always my first prayer when it's independence day.
My prayer in recent times has been "Help our youth the truth to know. "
A country highly dominated & blessed with creative youths, it's saddening that youths who should be propellers of a positive society are the 21st-century

This is a call to invite all qualified young people to participate in the Amplify Change Program, #YouthAmplifySRHR. The program aims to increase awareness and uptake of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and products among young people in tertiary institutions. #srhr
This project is aimed at tertiary institutions in #Ekiti, #Ogun, #Osun, #Oyo, and #Lagos State, only. Therefore applications are open to students whose schools are in the listed states. #SRHR #Nigeria #Youths @NaijaFlyingDr @UnilagOlodo @SMPN_Unibadan
Young people are diverse and so are their sexual and reproductive health needs. It is important to equip them with SRHR information that will empower them to make life choices that will promote the security of their future. #srhr @PPact @FP2020Global @Oyekanmijr @RobinsonRhoda
1. My name is Bell Ihua, I'm a Global Citizen from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Let me start my commentary by wishing all our dear workers #HappyWorkersDay, especially all those providing essential services to our beloved country. Today, i've come to #Push4JobCreation.
This is because for us to be talking about Workers Day, it means people should have "Work". But we know that not everyone that's able and willing to work in Nigeria (and elsewhere) can find decent work, and that's the essence of my commentary today. #Push4JobCreation
2. I'm truly concerned about the triple whammy effect of Covid-19, Unemployment and Insecurty that many Nigerians have been made to face this period. I'm concerned about the state of insecurity, fuelled by the rate of unemployment and that's why I'm here to #Push4JobCreation

In Malaysia, MIDF reports find youth unemployment to be high - hitting a record 10.8% last year, attributed to a skills mismatch.
This is a significant 40.5% of total unemployment in #Malaysia.
So what can be done?
