In short summary stick to your God; He will show you the way. Remember He's equally the truth and the life.

This is the most misleading article ever, first of all you don’t compare humans with objects. Secondly you can actually be whatever you wanna be. Just try and put in the effort even if u don’t become that exact thing , you can be close to it. For example do u think is all musicians that know how to sing? Most of them have backup singers in the background. Is AY really funny as a comedian? But he is a comedian . God gave us huge potentials. It’s up to us to try! If you nor try Wetin you gain

The truth is that, uchemba himself didn't understand what that statement is all about..

Nothing wrong. The statement implies you have the potential. But achieving the potential is a different cup of tea. A lot has to do with your self-belief.

You can as well say "with faith you can move mountains" is false, along with numerous other motivational scriptures. These things are spiritual.

Sometimes I wonder how these so called celebrity thinks , I have seen someone post this on their status today and was wondering wtf! Comparing a sofa and fridge to creation . Let’s get this straight here’s what I advised the individual who bought into what Uchemba wrote

You are not a product ! You actually can be what you wanna be ! Same bible said ‘ ye are god’s’ also said I have made you master over everything on earth ‘ also in creation said ‘ come let’s make man in our own image ‘ so dear you are the image of a creator in orders words you are a creator !

The problem here is people do things same way over and over again expecting different result , it doesn’t work !

You can be what you wanna be is 100% right
But people live in fear of the unknown here’s what I mean .
Quit that job if it doesn’t make you happy
Leave that Town for another if you don’t feel fulfilled
Quit that relationship if you are not happy

One thing constant in life is CHANGE !
Note : I’m not a Motivational speaker !

One Nigeria problem is English, The word “can” is not an assurance word, it simply means there is a probability in the situation.... No one said “u will be, they said u can be” so there is no sense in what this dude is saying, “Can” here simply means e fit happen and e fit no happen atleast try.... it not guarantee u will find all u seek, but atleast u can’t find what u did not seek.... If not for some of this motivational quotes so many suicidal and depression case for don plenty in this word... pls stop killing other people’s vibe on motivational quotes cuz e didn’t work for u, it works for some atleast till they are fully out of depress states of mind...
First meaningful post. Most Nigerians are English illiterates

You can be whatever you want to be doesn't mean you will be. "Can" means there's possibility.

That's how My mum always say

"You can be anything, u want to be
Don't let anyone discourage you"

Until I told her I want to be a porn actor
That night, them call family meeting untop my matter.
Lol..

But if you still want to become a porn actor, you can..

The family meeting isn’t a stoppage... After-all it’s not as if you must inform them before starting..

So many motivational speeches and quotes are jus to give ppl hope to continue to try
you Can actually be what you want to be, if you truly put yourself to it.. He is wrong.. He never would have been what he is right now, without putting himself to it, his whole life and career is a contradiction to this his statement.. Totally off point

I agree but there are big obstacles to identifying one's purpose in life especially in Nigeria and by extension Africa.

- Traditional parental control where your parents dictate your purpose rather than guiding and helping to discover it in line with your natural abilities and gifts.
- Secondary School system that over-emphasizes academics and minimizes extra-curriculum activities that encourage development of inventive, artistic or sporting talents
- Our environment, which through bad governments, cultural inhibitions, family's poor economic condition, etc offers little incentives or enabling force for young people to discover their purpose in life.
- Spiritual inhibitions where family members or neighbours use "jazz" and witchcraft to pull others down through envy or negative competitiveness.

We rise by grace of God in Africa.
we need more rational thinkers like you.
