THE POLITICIAN COLOURED NOVEMBER 2013 | Page 67

Let the youth of Nigeria rise up and draw inspiration from this young man who rose from obscurity like the proverbial “cactus in the desert” to become a motivational force that cannot be stopped. Isaac is wise beyond his years, he is an avid reader and his thirst for knowledge and self improvement are unquenchable. It is often said and rarely refuted that “you cannot stop a Man who has refused to be stopped”. As a nation we are blessed to have such young Men in our midst, but I wonder how many more potential “Isaac Balami’s” are out there yet to be brought to the limelight? Let this young man’s life inspire you to hold on to your dreams and never let go regardless of the obstacles. Isaac is indeed a force of nature, a young man called and sent to his generation to declare that “nothing is impossible for those who will dare to dream”. The economically challenged environment which he was raised in could have shaped him and limited his dreams and aspirations but Isaac did not allow it, instead he decided that “he was not going to be a product of his environment, but that his environment should become a product of him”. This is just the beginning of the story of a remarkable young Man, who is on a mission to transform his generation, and posterity will read of his exploits and the great fete’s which he accomplished in his life time. Isaac, may your days be long and may millions of Nigerians draw hope and inspiration from your incredible life. Your parents named you Isaac David Balami but to us you’re simply “the son of destiny”. May God bless you. This is just the beginning of the story of a remarkable young Man, who is on a mission to transform his generation, and posterity will read of his exploits and the great fete’s which he accomplished in his life time. 51
