What Talents World is...



TALENTS WORLD! A leisure discussion group as well as a networking resource hive. A time when talented youths all over the world can meet and dialogue about their similar ideas and encounters which emanate from the arts, sciences or any other kind of innovative idea. Talents World is a for youth, by youth and of youth organization that utilizes every form of the arts, sciences and technology to accomplish her goals.

TALENTS WORLD is an association of youths who, having sought to discover their talents or potentials and under the inspiration or motivation of a youngster "Samuel Chimezie Okechukwu, have formed themselves into a League for the service of humanity through the use of their unique and diverse talents.

Founded in May 2001, as a hobby / non-profit youth creative group. Talents World is here to help youths discover and maximize their potentials. Talents World is managed by a democratically Elected committee, headed by a President, all technical aspects of the league are controlled by the Founder / Honorary President, Young Samuel, assisted by a number of Students and Professional Technical Advisers.

We meet for discussion and training online and once in a season offline, at designated centers around the world where our members exist, allowing great flexibility for busy people as most of our members are. We involve every member of the league to discuss and train in our friendly and relaxed but disciplined environment, where light refreshments are not left out of the door.







Why we Exist?

Talents World exists in our society, because of the society’s need which she perceives and strives to intervene positively, by the aid or support of individuals and organizations who willingly identify themselves with her.

Of course, great good and great evil come to us from the use people make of their talents. And though it is typically said that "this" or "that" is responsible for the disheartening issues troubling our society, yet we must acknowledge that these are not blind forces of nature beyond human control. For even though acts of individuals often do have unintended consequences, nevertheless people choose whether to use their talents or potentials for good or evil ends.

These choices central to the ethical question are made not only by those who receive the by products of human talents-society members, viewers, consumers, listeners, readers etc. but especially by those who control the mediums by which human talents are being utilized,
those who determine their structure, policies and content. The public officials, cooperate executives, members of governing bodies, cultural, political and traditional leaders, property / business owners, publishers and station managers, editors, news directors, producers, writers, correspondents, and others involved in the creation, coordination and maintenance of human works and activities have a particular acute ethical question to face: Are we using our talents or potentials for good or evil?

The impact of human talents so far can hardly be exaggerated. From the simplest structures and instruments produced locally, to the complex or sophisticated structures and instruments existing in our world. The rapid technological changes, the advent of the information society, the range and diversity of media accessible to people are all emanations from the human talent.

But more often than not, human talents are employed to block community good and injure the integral good of persons by alienating people, marginalizing and isolating them; drawing them into perverse communities organized around false destructive values, fostering hostility and conflict, demonizing others and creating a mentality of 'us' against 'them', presenting what is base and degrading in a glamorous light, while ignoring or belittling what uplifts and ennobles; spreading misinformation or disinformation, fostering trivialization and banality. Stereotyping-based on race and ethnicity, sex, age and other factors, including religion- is distressingly common in our society. Too often do we overlook what is genuinely good and important to concentrate on the fashionable or faddish.

And beneath the curtain of these anomalies, stands the youth who have always played prominent roles. The beauty, creative ideologies, talents, energy and potentials of the youth have always been exploited towards these ends. No doubt that the life and future of youths today
have been hurt, damaged and discounted by the very society who should protect them and uphold their interest and well-being. Our past is blighted, Our future un-promised and endangered. Even so, brutalization, corruption and violence constantly go hand in hand with
political instability, economic stagnation and decline in dragging our countries into a moribund state.

And so, in the face of a deteriorating social fabric, what can be done save the situation: to develop good character in the young, to help them identify and maximize the use of their talents /potentials while harnessing the resources of their society. No doubt that this calls for a system that discovers and imparts the quality of life and virtue to youths, bringing them together to persevere with one mind and purpose, then sending them out into the evil and sorrowful places of the society, there to perform a good work of transformation.





Our Noble Philosophy

We are mindful of the fact that too many youths today are unable to reach their full potentials because enlightenment avenues, opportunities, and assistance are too few, too scattered and too distant from their family and environment.

We refuse to abandon the ultimate remedy to chance, because we see a world where youth empowerment has moved from a mere philosophy promoted by a passionate minority to a way of life that governs the main stream, policy and behaviour of countries.

We see a world that respects the dignity and potentials of the human person and directs their talents and potentials towards societal good. That world is not far from us as we are here to speed up its actualization.
