Hon. Barr. Onofiok Luke and Colleagues reunite in Calabar to build Nigerian Youths.

On 3 December 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica", a free concert organised by the Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley in an attempt to ease tension between two warring political groups, Bob Marley, his wife, and manager Don Taylor were wounded in an assault by unknown gunmen inside Marley's home. Taylor and Marley's wife sustained serious injuries. Bob Marley himself was wounded in the chest and arm surviving the politically motivated attempt on his life. Nonetheless, the concert proceeded, and an injured Marley performed as scheduled before a crowd of 80,000 while members of The Wailers were still missing or in hiding. When asked why, two days after the attempt, Marley responded, "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?"
This is what a few politicians in Nigeria today like Hon. Barr. Onofiok Luke have been doing while others are busy trying to tear the nation and their states down with all manner of political and socio-economic propaganda. Thus, on Saturday the 5th of December 2015 "The Leader of The Street" joined his colleagues at the Premier Nigerian Youth Parliament Reunion in Canaan Land tagged "Calabar 2015 Reunion" where issues concerning the development of the youth and nation building were brainstormed in a lecture titled : THE YOUTHS IN NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION AND THE CHALLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. It was a warm and refreshing event as these very first honorable members of the Nigerian Youth Parliament reunited after so long a time. The Executive Governor of Cross River State was ably represented by the  Commisioner for youths & Sports Development - Mr. Asu Okang.
In the end every one who participated went home with something to work on- not to take a day leave from the task of building our great nation in our small capacities.
#DakkadaAkwaibom is #DakaadaNigeria!
