The FUTURE LEADER program is a mentoring project aimed at attaching young people who aspire to be great in any field with someone who is already legitimately doing great things in that field.
According to Fela Durotoye, amazing things will happen in our nation if you as an individual will decide to:
1. Make a positive impact on everyone you meet and everywhere you go;
2. Be a solution to problems and never a problem to solutions;
3. Be a role model worthy of emulation;
4. Be the best in all that you do, particularly the things that you are naturally good at;
5. Do the right things at all times, regardless of who is doing the wrong thing;
6. Value time and make the best of it;
7. Care and show that you care through your words and actions;
8. Consciously build a great legacy starting today and every day;
9. Live a life of integrity; and
10. Make your family, your nation and your God proud.
Fela’s message to the youth has always said that there is no better place to be than Nigeria and there is no better time to have been born than now. In his own estimation, Nigeria is currently loaded with problems, which are simply opportunities to create value, make wealth and become a celebrity. “Anyone, especially believers, that can find and provide a viable and excellent solution to any of our problems will make unbelievable wealth legitimately even as they bring glory to God through their good works”. Whatever you do, just do it excellently well and you will be a star in this country.
Fela cites many examples of young people doing awesome things in Nigeria, including his wonderful wife Tara, acclaimed to be Nigerian’s pioneer bridal make-up artist and an award-winning beauty entrepreneur. He passionately speaks of people like Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and Ibidun Ighodalo in events planning, the Okunoren Twins in fashion, TY Bello in photography and Cobhams Asuquo in music. “Young people are doing extraordinary things here in Nigeria and around the world if they can, so can you” says Fela Durotoye.
