Growing
up i got a life of my own, got everything thing that i wanted. My mum thought
me to believe in myself and that i could do just anything i want to do. I got
gifts, got talents... had great passion for music, so i got into secular, had a
manager, going for shows and getting paid. It was a life of affluence, i was
money and fame conscious, stage and award driven, i loved the girls , i loved
the SPOT LIGHT, i loved to be THE ONLY ONE. Then five(5) years ago my plane
came crashing.....i went for STAR QUEST musical competition, got a green card
into the house for the competition and alas i thought my time has come and i
could finally show the world what i got.... That same night i got a call from
home and my dad informed me he just got a call from the school i graduated from
and that they couldn't trace my final
exams, so i had to leave the competition and get back to sch. Back to school as
a student, i was broken, my pride and ego damaged, that was when i was isolated
and consecrated, heavens prevailed upon me, gave me a focus, a redirection, a
will to rule and stand out and a purpose/mandate to live for. Now beyond my
competence, gift, talent, skills, expertise and passion, i know music has been
given to me as a tool to teach the world the truth and the beauty that lies in
accepting/living that truth. e for. Now beyond my competence, gift, talent,
skills, expertise and passion, i know music has been given to me as a tool to
teach the world the truth and the beauty that lies in accepting/living that
truth. Now i pursue fulfillment, i pursue change, i pursue deep and
extraordinary things and that what what drives me. I am running a race, winning
day by day and i wont stop till we take over the whole towns. #DREAMON.

I
knew I was called to sing but I thought my voice was not good enough. I kept
dreaming of my self Ministering to millions of crowd in a beautiful place but
in reality,i never looked like it.
Yes!
So many times I wanted to give up, so many times I felt less of my self when I
see my pairs doing better than me , some Churches discourage me, even friend
did but my dreams kept me going,OMG! They were too beautiful to walk out on
instead I saw my self working hard to attain a height in my ministry ,my zeal
and passion increased daily.
Certainly
I'm not were I ought to be but by the grace of God I'm not where I used to be.
Sincerely
I cannot give up but #Dreamon because I serve a God of possibilities who called
me and He's at work in me to will and to act in order to fulfill His purpose. I'm
still dreaming of the millions of crowd
i'll be blessing soon and(continuously)
I
have a supportive family and many who are looking up to me, so i am
persuaded,that noting can change my mind.
Infact,
our society and some of our churches have made us feel less of ourselves. They
preach wrong messages, use us and at the end we are been thrown out of the
church because of the mistakes they unconsciously led us into.
Some
dreams are dead and buried because we allowed people to define us. ...Refuse to
give up, see a need to rise beyond the level you are, move forward and stop
consoling your present position, grow up,work,learn and #DREAMON
I'll
end by saying ...
If
God has commanded you to fulfill a commission, make it your utmost Priority as
long as you live.
Please
#DREAMON. I am Gdia (Godiya Dangana) and I urge you to DREAM ON.

On a journey
to make a living and make impact in life I faced a lot of challenges that made
it all feel like nothing good could be achieved. A situation where you are
delayed from moving ahead with your mates and it seem like stagnation becomes
the order of the day.
Till this
very day I took a bold step and said to myself my dream is my dream and no
one's own, it's up to me to stand up look ahead and reach for the goal that is
set before me, I am not my mates, I am ME, I am not like others I am ME, I am
not the world I am set aside. So I picked myself up and said no to stagnation,
no to failure and YES to IMPACT. I must #DREAMON. I am Otj_DakingdomXploit Am
young and I wanna make impact.

I've
always known I was special different,
built to sing my heart out for God's glory even from childhood,lil wonder while
my mates where still chorusing their nursery rhymes,I was already exposed to,enjoying
tunes from otis redding,tony benet,bill withers and the likes,doing stuff I
later learnt to be adlibs..lol
Fast forward
a few years later and the 'realities' of life or may I say of nation nigeria
tosses,back and forth a few times, 4-7 delayed admission,unending ASUU
strikes....leaves a brova asking 'valid/logical' questions like..dude do you
really want pursue this,please just dust
up that certificate,get a job/a life stop trying to be special, be like the
rest,all you need is just cash...hmm..sorry I guess I'll just #DREAMON #DOST
I am Tosyn
and I urge you to #Dreamon

Dreams are what make us
They unify us, determine
who we are,
What we are, where we
come from,
Where we are going to
There is a dream in me
Of who I want to be in years to come
I had this dream as a
child
As I grew, the dream
waxed stronger
And I saw it growing
alongside me
This dream then became
me
Now I can stand and
proudly scream
‘I AM A PRODUCT OF THAT
DREAM´
At the dawn of each new
day
I see myself in a new
light
I can raise the roof,
lead the parade
With my banner reading
I am Olateju, A first class winner of dreams, so I urge you
to dream on to make impact

I was called
a Dreamer by my peers while growing up! I remember me....standing in front of
the living room with a spoon in my hand
pretending I was BoyzIIMen. My dreams scared me so much that I felt it was like
singing in a video with no sound to go...but I held on to HOPE - sweet melody
coming from a #BrokenRadio. Today the story is different and I know better - I
still hold steady to HOPE.
There are no
coincidences in life. That person who wandered in and out of your life was
there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t
make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from
their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will
see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake.
For I may
have nothing to lean on, nowhere to call my home and there is nowhere I will go
for Christmas to rest my head and touch familiar walls. I may not have the best
degree to show on paper or employment to take care of my health or the
reassurance that I can pay my rent. And I have no right to complain because
this is the road I choose and I built it myself, not really knowing where I
wanted it to lead, but I have hope in all things ahead and behind and I am
learning to let myself go. Forget my own ego and believe that what I am doing
is grander than my very own self.
Don’t give
up; try again. Be still and work it out till your good becomes the best! Dream
high above the sky!
You owe it
to yourself, to refuse to surrender to obstacles that are meant to stop you
from reaching far in your endeavours. Be determined that you will never be a
captive of your environment.
Great people
faced obstacles in the pursuit of their dreams.The struggles was a motivation
to stretch their limits. Be inspired by the story of great people. Know that
you are not alone in your struggle.
I am
HaychBeatz and I urge you to DREAM ON.

He said to
me Dream on maestro, Dream on. I started weeping... At first I had immense
dream of becoming the world best footballer. My father rejected my footballing
dream. My father will flog the hell out of me to stop football that i was too
good that literally someone could just attack me fiercely and I will just be
broken or dead (fear). They discouraged me. I became furious on what next to
chose as to what I want to become. Then I met computer. I enrolled in a
computer class being just an attendant, not learning anything. Empty as
nothing. The kind of computer class I enrolled into was "Stand and watch
me do". I did that for good 6years._I began to love all I was doing. I
began to love graphics and imaging._My love for photography grew day by day
that i applied in a studio to learn photography and editing. It continued as
"Stand and watch me do". I did that on and on. Until I began having
more interest in graphics. I went extra miles downloading tuts,payed to learn
online, got PDF's, downloaded videos of all kinds, read books and all. many
professional picture editors have establish themselves over the past years.
Most of them got their fundamentals from a classic graphic, photography or
digital media designer school diploma. This knowledge got further reinforced by
working for various agencies/clients and being placed in daily creative
responsibilities and learning everyday. For many people this way seems to be
the only way to climb up the professional latter in picture editing, especially
in the Photoshop scene. But there are other ways.
Since almost
four years now, I realised that graphics (creativity) is in me. I am
accomplishing something others can only dream of. God has been the source of my
inspiration and my all. Its a part I choose. My whole aim is to inspire and to
influence my generation with the Uniqueness (energy). I am tagged being
"workaholic". You could say his days have more than 24hours. I spend
most times getting myself learned.
Upon all
barriers and hills, I refused to be discouraged. I keep my dreams high above
the sky. Am being determined that I have a living God who gives in excess and
never lacks. I am a champion. Am out to be unique. I am a winner. I am Maestro.
I have a dream.

The journey
wasn't told to be easy especially when the dream is big and the possibility of
achieving this huge dream seems impossible considering where I was coming from.
I was branded the most unfortunate amongst my friends. I had to work from a
very tender age to buy textbooks, uniforms, sandals etc, at a point work extra
to pay my fees. When I thought the challenges were over after my secondary
education, hardship beckoned on me, the fear of achieving those huge dreams
became shaky, when most of my peers graduated with several qualifications, I was wallowing in pains and would hear the negative voice saying hey you
are finished...Yea I cried, I was pained cos it seems all was lost and those
dreams were far from reality. I never gave up, all I did was to keep on dreaming cos I knew it would always come to
pass. The day I realised I was the best of Me gave me a new beginning and today
things ain't the way they were. I have far risen beyond those past failures,
pains and stagnation. Dream on, and always remember a dream is like a pregnant woman
who will always bring forth when it's time. Celebrate your dream and enjoy
life. This is me, I am young, gifted and ready for impact. If I can rise above
all the challenges then you can.. I am
Unachi and I am urging you to DREAM ON.

Looking back
at how it all started I thought I was an abnormal child, I always thought out
of the box because I could do a whole lot of things and I could do them pretty
well. It became confusing placing a hand on purpose, because every gift in me
was calling me its direction as such I grew up a loner because no one around me
thought like me.
I set many
goals but achieved very little or none and it was so discouraging, at a point I
gave up searching purpose. I used to read books and they say things like what
you enjoy doing most might be your calling but for me I enjoyed every bit of me
and it was hard knowing what I was created for, till I understood from God’s
Word I was created with an intent and all the gifts in me were necessary for
that intent to be fulfilled, I was now better equipped how to harness all of my
gifts together with God been the focal point of all that I do. He also
connected me to other #Dreamers and I know
I’m not alone
I am a #Dreamer, I’d never let go, even though society isn’t
used to us, we won’t give up on what we believe.
YAY! Today I
can say that I appreciate my multi-faceted me (Multi-instrumentalist, Producer,
Rapper/Singer, Computer Scientist, Teacher etc. (I really mean etc.. lol))
#DREAMON
Final words:
Sometimes it’s
hard to believe in yourself, looking at the present circumstances in your life,
but truth is, YOU ARE BIGGER THAN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, YES! God invested so
much in you, don’t belittle yourself.
Please

I have/had a
dream, a purpose to help people discover and fulfill their potentials to its
fullness. Every other dream I've had or i'm having is geared towards that
purpose. Every enterprise or platform I've founded or i'll be establishing is
to achieve that purpose.
Every step
along the way, I've encountered challenges and situations that I've brought me
to my lowest ebb, broken my heart in an attempt to shatter my dreams.
Just like
Joseph, all these challenges I've faced are just experiences that build the
road to the actualization of that dream.

It wasn't
really a good start as all that was available wasn't really pleasing, as a
young boy I had a whole lot of dreams, it was like a book I jst started
writing, all I wanted was a life that'll show my peers how much of a the best
doctor i've become, then mama sent me to church where I found my real love,
that was d moment anything school stopped making sense to me as all I wanted to
do was play my locally made drums in my backyard and then go to church and be d
Kirk Franklin of my choir, it was so much fun cause I cudnt help falling in
love with it each time I found my self doing it then came my success formular,
"Dcubed_Fsquared" I made d "Decision" to press on no matter
what, I was "Determined" to achieving all I decided, I was
"Directed" towards that dream, I had "Focus" on that dream
and finally but most importantly I had "Faith" in God to pull me
thru.
I almost
gave up at a point though as a whole lot of people laughed at me and called me
names, at a point a deacon in my church told me to my face how what I was doing
wudnt take me to no where. Well that same deacon now has my E.P CD, his son
see's me as a role model, his wife always dances to my song each time I
minister in church, D'Ben is now a familiar name in my locality, I keep repping
my city as a spirit filled gospel rapper, Thanks to my brother Lulu I am still
patching on drums, I have lost count of the songs I have recorded and features
I have worked on, an economist, a writer, manger and a very good event planner.
The road has
really not been enticing enough, but God has really been faithful, just d words
from young folks to me like "u are all I want to be like" makes me
know all I went thru was to make me what God has planned me to become, and as
k-drama wud say, if I had to do it all again, I wudnt change a thing. I had a
dream, I kept d dream, I see d dream becoming real.
I am a
dreamer, I am D'BEN "Devinely Bought, Eternally Named and I urge you to
dream on

Growing
up I thought I could only make the greatest impact on humanity if I become a
Medical Doctor. Going through my days I came to the point of self discovery, I
realized I had the gift to do music and that my music could either give life to
my listeners like a Doctor would to his patient or otherwise (maybe just
different approaches) and also could be a tool of influence to people, my
society, culture while glorifying my Creator. Practically this have been my
driving force since 2010 and I'll like to say you can do same wherever you find
yourself whether in Politics, Business, the academia, Humanities, Entertainment
etc. I am J.Clone and I am urging you to DREAM ON.
