DAY 1 — THE JOURNEY BEGINS (NATIONAL LEADERS).
Today I officially launch the Equip the Dream Initiative — a mission aimed at empowering 10,000 Nigerian youths with tools, opportunities, and practical skills needed to build a better future.
My name is ADERELE ADEYEMI ADEDEJI, a serving corps member from Ondo State, Nigeria. I come before you today in good faith to humbly present this vision and seek your support in making it a reality.
"The Equip the Dream Initiative" is designed to provide young Nigerians with essential tools, training, and opportunities that will help them become productive contributors to society.
My goal is simple but impactful: to reach 10,000 young people and help equip them with resources that can transform their dreams into reality.
To make this mission possible, I respectfully seek the attention, encouragement, and possible support of our respected national leaders including:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu —
@officialABAT
Kashim Shettima —
@officialSKSM
Muhammadu Buhari —
@MBuhari
Peter Obi —
@PeterObi
Atiku Abubakar —
@atiku
Yemi Osinbajo —
@ProfOsinbajo .
Your leadership and commitment to Nigeria’s progress inspire many young Nigerians like myself who are passionate about nation-building and youth empowerment.
To achieve this vision, I am humbly seeking financial support, partnership, and guidance. Any support — no matter how small — will go a long way in helping this initiative impact thousands of lives.
I also understand the importance of trust and transparency. I operate openly with my real identity and background visible to the public. My academic journey, personal engagements, and current national service are all publicly verifiable.
I remain fully accountable for this initiative and its outcomes.
This mission is driven by a genuine desire to empower Nigerian youths and contribute positively to national development. With your encouragement and support, this 21-day journey of impact can become a movement that changes lives.
I sincerely hope to receive your encouragement and support.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Today marks the moment before I begin a 21-day journey for something that is very dear to my heart. But before I take the first step, I must first acknowledge the One who makes every step possible.
I give all glory, honor, and adoration to Almighty God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The One who gives life, purpose, and direction. Without Him, we are nothing, and without His mercy and guidance, no vision can come to life.
The scriptures remind us clearly that He alone is worthy of all praise.
In the Holy Bible it is written:
“Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.” — Book of Psalms 145:3
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Book of Psalms 150:6
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory and the majesty.” — First Book of Chronicles 29: 11.
And in the Noble Qur’an, Allah also reminds us:
“All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” — Qur'an 1:2
“To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.” — Qur'an 2:255
“So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.” — Qur'an 56:96
These words remind us that God alone deserves our gratitude and praise, regardless of our different paths of worship.
As I prepare to begin this 21-day thread for the “Equip the Dream Initiative,” my first request for support is not directed to any human being. My first appeal is directed to Almighty God Himself.
Because He is the One who opens doors no man can shut.
He is the One who raises helpers for those who call upon Him.
He is the One who turns small beginnings into great impact.
The mission ahead is to equip the dreams of 10,000 youths with the tools they need to succeed, helping them develop skills and build better futures.
But before asking anyone for help, I ask the Owner of all help.
Almighty God, I place this vision in Your hands.
Guide me through these 21 days of this campaign.
Strengthen me when I feel weak.
Grant sincerity to my intentions.
And send helpers who will believe in this mission and support it.
Let this initiative become a source of hope for many young people who are trying to rise above their circumstances.
Amen 🙏.
