Placard Carrying Girl, The Real Story You Need To Hear by HomesOfLife(m): 2:34pm On May 30, 2016
The placard carrying girl whose picture went viral explains what really happened and why she carried the placard.

Lets hear her


My name is Lilian Chinyere Douglas-Ezeugo. I was born Dec. 3rd, 1993.

I carried the placard at Ikoyi-Lekki bridge.

Mrs Owen was one of the people who called me. She introduced me to Mr Tony Elumelu. In the meeting, he asked me why i did what i did. I told him that I didn't want to be among unemployed graduates and that was all. Though people started rumoring he gave me a job.

Then Forte Oil called for a test too.

Following that, I got an invite for a media forum with the Vice President. At the forum, we were given the opportunity to ask one question each. When it got to my turn, I asked him what plans the federal government have in preparing the teenagers and youth to overcome challenges of adulthood and what happens to youths without a purposeful mindset and are not mentally challenged, also those who are but do not have the support.

I want people to understand that i did what i did to voice out. And that if nothing is done, it will get to a point where the youths will be involved in a violent protest.

I would like 'Leadership and Purpose' to to be a module in schools but since it is not, i would like to organize sessions with schools ranging from primary to university level introducing them to mind development courses, teaching them about leadership development, giving them a purposeful mindset that would make them meet their full potential. Imagine if school children and youths are developed socially, ethically, emotionally, physically and have cognitive competences, they would be able to analyze their weakness and strength, set vocational goals, have self esteem, confidence, motivation and participate in community life, effect a positive change and serve as role models.

Cool? So she had such ideas in mind and refused to implement it. But simply took to carrying placard becaure she didn't want to be jobless. THE TRUTH is just that she started having all these ideas from her comfort zone and not b4 the placard. Her statement is plain to understand
