Motivational Speech at the concluded NYSC Orientation Camp

Описание: Last week, I had the honour of serving as the Motivational Speaker for over 3,000 NYSC Kwara and Lagos State corps members who camped at Kwara Polytechnic, Ilorin, Nigeria.

It wasn't just a motivational talk; it was a heart-to-heart discussion, not because I tried to impress them, but because I told them the truth.

I made them see clearly that once they step out of the four walls of school, they are entering a world where thousands of people are already excelling in their chosen fields. And if they are not careful, they could easily feel lost in the crowd.

I reminded them of something:
💙 There are still thousands of problems waiting for solutions.
💙 There are still spaces that have not been occupied.
💙 The market is not saturated; we are waiting for them.

Three key truths stood out during the session:

💙 Discover yourself and your purpose.
There is something inside you that is a solution to the world.
There is a problem you are wired to solve.
Don’t despise that tiny idea you have.
Don’t ignore the inner nudge to help others.

That may be the solution the world has been waiting for.

💙 Invest in yourself; don't wait for others to invest in you.

The bottom of the ladder is always crowded.
Discipline is what separates those who stand out from those who blend in.

I asked them to consider a simple question: If you were an employer… would you employ you?

💙 Lastly, dream big, stay focused, and don't give up on yourself.
Don’t be discouraged when responses don’t meet your expectations.
Have clear targets, but don't be afraid to start all over if you feel stuck.

Do not give up on yourself.

Education is beyond the classroom.

I am an Educational Consultant, a teacher with a heart for children, parents, educators, communities, and the wider world.
