A JOURNEY WITH THE PEOPLE'S ADVOCATE: THE UNSUNG HERO

_By Joshua Nicholas_

Today I want you to travel with me to the school of Amb. Timothy C. Nwachukwu.

I have met so many persons in my bid to advance the course for a progressive Nigeria and I must say it here, that He is truly a patriot; the zeal of a glorious Nation is burning all around him.

He is a God lover 100% and a minister of the Gospel. His gifting in the prophetic is a rare phenomenon.

He is a man with "many". Nigeria owes alot to Amb. Timothy Nwachukwu; he has immensely contributed to the growth and steady progress of this nation from the grassroot level. He never stays shut, when he sees rights been trampled on. That is where he got his name "The People's Advocate.

In present times, young people have been on top of the game globally when it comes to information and technology.

But we have always stayed with a problem; young people coming out to defend the right of the voiceless.

Comr. Timothy C. Nwachukwu has taken this as his meat. To him, standing in for a defenseless woman, youth or child is the greatest meal you can ever give to him. I see a new 'Gani' rising from the east of the Niger.

He is a devoted man, who believes much in the media as a tool in reaching out to the populace for constructive growth and development. He is one of the many few who has decided to "live 20 years above his peers and colleagues" they see tomorrow and today, Mr. Timothy sees 30,40 and 50 years ahead respectively. He is a dogged visionary.

In my previous article, I published some of his achievements in his short time in public service. From him I learnt that you don't need the position of any public office to positively affect the lives of the citizenry; you just need a transformed mind and a renewed soul. His passion for a glorious and better Nigeria most times sweep me off my feet. I ask: "what is driving him?" "Timo and Nigeria, what is even pushing him?" these are amongst few questions I ponder on when I see him in action advocating for the people; without any strings been attached.

Amb. Timothy is:

* A Lawyer in Equity

*A Human Right Activist

*A Refined politician

*A model United Nations Ambassador

*A Publisher

* Founder and President, Youth Advocates for Peace, Justice and Empowerment Network, YAPJEN

*A Journalist

*A Writer

*A Public Speaker

*A Special Assistant

*Unizik Campus Orator of the year (Fmr)

*Co-Convener: The Nigerian Dream Conference

*De Peoples Advocate.

*The Eagle in the East

* The Voice of the voiceless.

He has won many awards and nominated for several others; with spheres of influence spreading through the South-Eastern States of Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo and Abia.

Amb. Timothy you are truly a blessing to the Nigerian state, to Nigerians whom you constantly advocate for, to everyone who has come in contact with you.

As a Nigerian youth he is worthy of emulation. If other youths too can learn from him, using their spruceness,vibrancy and energy to save Nigeria - we would be certain of a great nation.

Everybody the time is now!!
