RISE, a dynamic youth organization based in Nigeria founded by an equally energetic and visionary young woman, Toyosi Akerele, is touring the nation on a mobile platform .This group of highly organized young people all under 27 years were at Enugu on Saturday 18th of July 2009 to hold the Enugu version of the DARE TO BE DIFFERENT NATIONAL YOUTH INTERACTIVE FORUM. I was there
The event held at Dannic Hotel Enugu and witnessed a large turnout of young people in Enugu who shun mediocrity and are hungry for a life of significance and impact. Thousands of participants filled the hall to the brim and a good number had to stand outside. Corporate sponsors like MTN, NESCAFE, MACLEANS, NBC and VERVE were all present and they really maximized the Youth market, talk about SYNERGY!

The Under 30 Financial Summit has also come and gone. Over 10,000 Young people attended both events. I wrote about them on my blog on http://newdimensionlife.com/blog/?p=37 and http://newdimensionlife.com/blog/?p=40
