He said; “The
existence of several agitating groups across the length and breadth of the

expressed hopes of a brighter future stressing that the recent regional
conflicts and upsurge in crisis across the nation will cease if Nigerians “seek
the face of God in righteousness and do things aright especially in the areas
of leadership and proper mentoring of the leaders of tomorrow”.
The Federal
lawmaker emphasized that it is pertinent for every Nigerian youths to go through
proper mentorship and allow themselves be put through the mill of becoming effective
visionary leaders.
The eminent
Federal lawmaker who is by virtue of spirituality, an Evangelist, spoke very
passionately during an unrivaled presentation, about a wide range of issues, consequently
making him the cynosure of the day as audience listened attentively and enthusiastically
till the very end of his fascinating, challenging, and thought-provoking message.
Other guest

Dr. Nilson, emphatically corroborated
Hon. Ossai’s message with each noting that in order to nip insecurity in the
bud, it is very crucial for Nigerian youths to be more enthusiastic about National
Development and committed to the right mentorship to become effective visionary
leaders.
Speaking to
KARIFEST shortly after his presentation, Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai described the
event as a great one. He said, “The event is a great one. It provides the
opportunity of impacting knowledge in our youths for mentorship”.
The Lawmaker
cum Evangelist noted that mentorship is the core foundation of becoming an
effective visionary leader just as he cited the names of leaders in the books
of the Bible who excelled as a result of being properly mentored.
In his
words: “When you are mentored, you will be able to do great things. Even when
you have the inner talent in you, you have to be mentored because there are
people who have passed through that line before you and that’s why God told
Moses (a prophet of God in the Bible), to mentor Joshua (a prophet of God and
King of Israel in the Bible), and Joshua came out to be a very great leader in
Israel.”
He further
made Biblical references of Kings in the Bible who weren’t mentored and as a
result, erred greatly in their endeavors. He said; “David (A King in the Bible)
was not mentored, he was just ordained. Most of the talent that David got was
borne out of the fact that God was really with him. That is why despite making
so many mistakes, humility drew him closer to God and he wrote so many songs
that gladdens God’s heart.”
When asked
if he was only interested in the mentorship of youths from the south-south region
of the country, he said, “No. I don’t think so. But you must start from
somewhere.”
He further
explained that the organizers of the initiative have devised a means to reach
out to a wider audience across the country.
“The visioners
of this initiative have devised a means of reaching out to the youths by going
from kingdom to kingdom and it is a great one. Even if 10 persons are chosen in
each kingdom, those will form the crux of the leadership of such a town.” He
said.
