Great is the mighty name of our creator, God of the universe. May he (Almighty God) Continue to be our guide and guard.

Visionary leaders, comrades, honorable, parliamentarian, pen Controllers, Nigeria students, Nation builders (lecturers), barristers, medical practitioners, agricultural experts, analysts, young politicians here present, invited guests, Gentle men of the press, distinguished ladies and gentlemen.

Permit me to use this uttermost pleasure to welcome you all to online platform per excellence, path finder and forum of leaders of today.

Today marks the forum 17th online official presentation and dialogue since inception.
There is no special or uniqueness about TLF, our leaders here use brain before mouth, speaks only when they have something meaningful and useful to say and this had go a long way assisting us to achieving aims and objectives of this forum with creator on our sides and commitment of our every dynamic leaders.

TLF was founded on 28 of March, 2014, the 4th anniversary was celebrated in a grand style. One of the numerous achievement of this forum is bringing leaders together across Nigeria in different field.
Today's Leaders Forum is a big family still limited to online presentation only but we hope will extend to physical meeting and coming together of members of this forum.

This forum (TLF) is designed to encourage participants to unleash their  potential like  communication skills, tolerance, patience and exchange of information irrespective of tribe or religion.

" *_Knowledge is either you have it or you no  where to get it_*
  "
It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that Nigeria encounters involved more than the leaders, we contributed to the problems personally and professionally.

Virtually everyone can look but very few can see, _MOMENT LIKE THIS, SITUATION LIKE THIS, IN A COUNTRY LIKE THIS_ some sectors such as Agriculture, Health, Law, Economy, Politics, Education and Security needs to be dissect throughly Therefore,this dialogue will provide us not only essential knowledge but also a great opportunity to share experience on technical issues as we shall leave no stone untouched and proffer lasting solutions to existing problems.

Invited speakers are professional that will present facts and figures and this makes it more classic but demanding and tedious beyond imagination

Concurrently, this 17th online presentation and dialogue is made more colorful  with the support of our media partners- voice air media and G. Song (journalist), business partners (Cebeeco farms and agro - allied Himag Green Garden and Dazzling Features) who foresee the importance of this dialogue.

We hope to celebrate fifth year anniversary of this noble forum coming next year March seeing one another physically God be on our sides.

Today's leaders forum is apolitical and no any form of preferential treatment, commitments, being supportive and progressive mind  are all what we need.

Some had proved that you need not to be in position of authority or holding political post to render humanitarian service and contributing you own quota.

Distinguished leaders of today, in 2014, I have this dream, I sell it and you make it a reality, history will never forget you and your good deeds shall always linger in my heart.

Let endeavor to do the needful today because tomorrow may not come and peradventure it comes you might be there no more.

You are part of this success story, may me live to enjoy better Nigeria.

On this final note, I want to use this   opportunity to declare the official opening of this 17th online presentation and dialogue, May we not labor in vain. (amen)

Let walk the talk.

Thanks and God bless.
