President of the 黑料网(AUN), Dr. DeWayne Frazier was a guest speaker at a youths' conference tagged "Awake", hosted by Mshel Homes in Jimeta, Adamawa State, on February 1, 2025, at Alheri Hotel. While speaking to over five hundred youth at the conference, Dr. DeWayne said education is the key that unlocks many opportunities for people to achieve their dreams, or sometimes, surpass their dreams.
"It is education that made it possible for me to dream of many different things that I see myself doing today, it made me travel the world and learn about different cultures because I am a cultural person; and I love the diversity in Nigerian culture, the resilience of Nigerian women to juggle tasks, and, at the same time raising children, I love the compassion and hospitality of Nigerians, how they take care of family members and the elderly so much. That is one thing that is different from America. I believe because of this type of care for people, that is why the founder of AUN, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar built a world-class university in the heart of Yola, for his people. So, I urge you to take advantage of AUN, one of the best universities in the world that cares more for people through community services and outreach," Dr. DeWayne stated.
AUN President hailed the patience of Nigerian youth, their resilience, and their determination to succeed at everything they do at home and abroad. He, however, cautioned the youth to channel their energy and talents towards positive ventures. Dr. Frazier lamented the few Nigerian youths who are tarnishing the great image of Nigeria across the world because of their engagement in cybercrimes known as Yahoo boys. He stressed the need for youth education through entrepreneurship, vocational training, and informal or personalized training leveraging information technology like internet resources.
