I am truly proud to be an AIESECER, the first question that pops into your lovely heads is what is AIESEC? well its not a conglomerate at that,but rather an international student organization aimed at engaging youths worldwide to be professionally and self developed plus having the ability to interact with diverse multi cultural ethnicities and also share innovations that wishes to fulfill human kinds poptential of peace and harmony through socio cultural and expanse partnerships of brilliant global and national partnerships, wow! quite a mouthful isnt it but you will get the hang of it what makes this organization so unique is not its rich history over 60 years old!, but its uniqueness as being student run solely and interaction with true big wigs of today with a small guidance by experienced externals, what amazes me is the ability of a regular aiesecer to set new boundaries where no one has dared and accomplish things at the stringent of times, yes we are popular at multi tasking and yet playing well to keep shape , my friend recently told me his boss was like "tony i can count on you if all fails cos your an aiesecer" dont get me wrong there are a few occasional blunders but we have proven to be a main stay in youth career development our main tool Exchange+Leadership offers interns a global repettoir of over a million alumni's to connect with amongst them prime ministers and presidents of countries!!!,also global partners each year release positions that come with the tag" must have aiesec related experience" amongst them Google,Nike, Facebook, Erickson, Artemisia etc. now this brings me to the crux de la peur AIESEC NIGERIA the platform has existed for over 50 years and since then we have continually strive to maintain neutrality in an ever increasing cut throat market of corporate takeovers and government sell out the national chapter this year seeks to go higher on its elemental pedestal by tasking the youths to a forum that will involve some of the brightest minds of today with the ever vibrant youths of tomorrow as we are popularly dubbed it promises to be a showcase of delight as we get to see our full alumni strength put to the test and our partners hearing from the horses mouth in Aiesec one may hear the term leadership by example yes! that's what we seek to do produce competent leaders that can carry on the brand name for whats a brand without its people?.
This year in lagos we celebrate our 50th anniversary ,time to look back ,reflect ,take corrections, mount a new desire ,address situations ,make changes and finally soar to the future ,a time to establish ground breaking partnerships with our governments but still remaining ever neutral ,time to start the exchange and leadership trend social/online culture,IT trend and time to be ambassadors, with over 300 youths across the country plus a total of 400 alumni and partners in attendance and the general public this will surely be a stepping stone for the future of the aiesec life a time to understand the reason for being aiesecers i'm talking of the National Conference this year externals and international attendance will be en masse as well as media giants to show case the event this is coming on the heel of the transformation started in Port-Harcourt which will forever be in the minds of the Aiesecers in attendance last year.
With final preparations being put in place and variuos local chapters in the 17 cities preparing to have a competitive playground ,the excitement can be felt all over that's why i said im proud to be an Aiesecer and should we stop there, no why should we? there is always room for creative talent recently worldblu recognized the body as a global transformer even the European union has given the network a sizable applause now what is at stake our credibility of course we have to prove to people to look out there that is the only way we can be alive we need to be globally minded and connected information ias the key so start plugin in
