This past Monday 24th March, I received an award from the students of C.W Jeffrey's Collegiate Institute, a career focusing high school in Toronto. It is located in one of the toughest neighborhoods in T-Dot. Jane and Finch area. I used to speak in high schools all over the USA and I was nominated for several, in fact too many awards. Baltimore County Volunteer of the Year, Maryland Volunteer of the Year, one from President Clinton, General Colin Powell etc. There are so many damn plaques that I left them all in Nigeria. See, it's not about the awards. It's about helping our youth. Just yesterday two black 20 yr olds have been added to the jail roll. This needs to stop after they bound and duct taped employees of a pawn shop and robbed it at the mall downstairs by my house. That was the assignment that kept me busy yesterday!
Normally, I speak about the dangers of drugs from a Pharmacist standpoint as I am also a Pharmacist. This time I spoke about the myths of hip-hop where we talked about the criminal records of every hip-hop star who had one and how they turned their lives around plus the ones who are still not getting it! Our kids are in gangs here!
Remember this video above in Toronto 2 weeks ago? 6 kids got shot, one died! Now we are hearing whispers out of my newsroom that it was a gang initiation where a potential gang member is told to go out there and kill a bunch of people and they will get in. These were a bunch of Somalian kids who were straight "A" students not in any criminal activity! Kids, I wanna thank you for the glass trophy and the huge gift card in the envelope. Mr. David Reid, Principal Spyropoulous and all of the staff and students. Call me anytime and I will be there. Finally, let's not forget Jordan Manners, the first kid to die in a school shooting in Toronto in May 2007, a week before I arrived in Toronto. This is what lead me to your school because things like this does not happen here and it must NEVER AGAIN!.

So everybody dance and everybody sing,
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Yeah we can swing it,
Cha-ching
When you take off all your clothes, when you strike a playboy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it
Cha-ching
