Students Charged On Talents, Career Development At Nigerian Breweries’ 2017 Beyond The School Programme
Students have been advised to focus on their abilities and talents in order to take advantage of opportunities in their chosen career. Speaking on Thursday in Lagos at this year’s edition of Beyond the School, an initiative of the Nigerian Breweries/Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund, Emilia Asim-Ita, a Senior Consultant with Thistle Praxis Consulting, enjoined the participants on how to make a success of their career choices.
Asim-Ita who spoke on Personal Development and Career Facts, maintained that career choice should be hinged on passion. She advised participating students to read wide, cultivate mentors and ignore distractions.
While encouraging the students to dream big, she urged them to develop their passions and interests to guarantee a bright future. “The knowledge you now have will help you find disciplines that you are passionate about. You also have to develop the skills needed to succeed in those disciplines”, she said.
In her presentation, Mrs. Nimi Akinkugbe, Managing Director of Bestman Games, gave the students personal finance tips on saving, investing and spending. She counseled the students to be diligent, prudent and keep good company.
Mr. Gbubemi Fregene aka Chef Fregz, who spoke on his success story implored the students to get education so as to be on a higher pedestal in their career and passion paths. He disclosed that as far as back as his days in secondary school, he developed interest in cooking.
“Life is about your passion, but education is important. The relationship is symbiotic because it is actually your education that will determine how far you go with your passion. Don’t be upset that you don’t have anything now, but focus on what you are going to do in your own circle,” Gbubemi said, while urging the students to write their own story.
Earlier in his welcome address, Mr. Kufre Ekanem, Corporate Affairs Adviser, Nigerian Breweries Plc, explained that the initiative was introduced to complement other initiatives of the company targeted at the education sector. According to him, “Beyond the School is designed for senior secondary school students in public schools to expose them to career options and factors they need to consider before making a career choice”.
Ekanem equally called on the students to take advantage of the career guidance information provided to them, which is in line with best practices, to achieve their full potential.
This year’s edition drew students and teachers from Iponri Estate Senior High School; Stadium Senior High School; Onitolo Community Senior High School; Iganmu Senior Secondary High School and Adebola Baptist Senior High School, all in Lagos Education District Four.
The event also saw students from the schools compete in a game of Monopoly where they won various prizes
Dr. Ifeoma Eze: The Connection That Transforms Lives
Dr. Ifeoma Eze isn’t just a preacher; she is a voice that awakens purpose, a mentor who nurtures potential, and a guide leading people back to the true source of value—God. With warmth, wisdom, and an undeniable passion for transformation, she delivers a simple yet powerful message: your worth isn’t defined by what you have, but by who you are connected to.
In her inspiring book, Becoming A Person of Exceptional Value, Dr. Eze drives home a truth that is often overlooked: no one can truly thrive in life without being plugged into the ultimate source—God. “We are not just physical beings trying to have a spiritual experience,” she says with conviction. “We are spiritual beings navigating a human journey.”
She takes readers back to the very beginning—Genesis 1:28—where God gave humanity a clear mandate: be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it, and have dominion. “This isn’t just about surviving,” she explains. “It’s about thriving, creating impact, and living a life that truly matters.”
But what happens when people try to go through life disconnected from their source? Dr. Ifeoma paints a vivid picture: “Imagine a strong, well-built water pipe. It looks good, but if it’s not connected to a water supply, it serves no purpose. That’s exactly what happens when we try to succeed without God—we may look promising, but we’ll never truly function as we were meant to.”
She also draws lessons from Jesus’ encounter with the barren fig tree. “Jesus wasn’t upset with the tree for simply existing,” she explains. “He was upset because it gave the appearance of having fruit but had nothing to show for it. And that’s how many people are today—outwardly successful but inwardly empty.”
Dr. Ifeoma Eze’s message is more than just words—it’s a heartfelt call to action. She speaks with the authority of someone who has walked this path, someone who has experienced firsthand what it means to be transformed by divine connection. Her sermons are not just lessons; they are life-changing encounters, filled with energy, encouragement, and practical wisdom.
Through Becoming A Person of Exceptional Value, she challenges people to reconnect with God, to recognize their true worth, and to step boldly into their calling. “You weren’t created to struggle in mediocrity,” she affirms. “You were made to shine, to build, to replenish, and to lead. But first, you must be connected to the One who gives all value.”
Dr. Ifeoma Eze isn’t just teaching people how to live; she’s showing them how to truly thrive. And in a world where so many are searching for meaning, her message couldn’t be more timely.
