From Olu Samuel, Lokoja
Renowned business consultant, Dr Joe-Wealth Oseghale, has called on youths and professionals to pursue success with intentionality, strategy, and purpose.
Oseghale, an entrepreneur, spoke on Tuesday, at the NYSC secretariat in Lokoja, Kogi State, at the maiden edition of the Life Mastery summit powered by him to encourage the Youth to live a life of purpose.
The event doubled as a celebration of the youth development advocate’s new age and it attracted entrepreneurs, students, ministry leaders, professionals, business associates, mentees, and friends.
In his keynote titled ‘Mastering the principles of success in every area of life,’ Oseghale challenged participants to reject casual living and adopt discipline, preparation, and growth.
He described life as a battlefield against ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, and fear, and likened it to a marketplace where value determines reward.
“Many people fail because they approach life casually while the realities of life demand preparation, strategy, discipline, and growth.
”Failure is one of the greatest builders of success” because it develops resilience, emotional stability, character, wisdom, strength, and experience. Without failure, there can be no true success,” he stressed.
Oseghale unveiled the five pathways to success: decision pathway, purpose pathway, growth pathway, relationship pathway, and consistency pathway, drawing applause with practical examples and life lessons.
The panel session featured seasoned professionals who shared lessons from their journeys.
The Executive Director, Challenge Parenthood Initiative (CPI), Mrs Eunice Agbogun, emphasised the God Factor as the foundation for sustainable success.
On his part, Mr Joseph Gambo recounted how hunger and hardship drove him into entrepreneurship, advising youths that “Success happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
Dr Samuel Peter spoke on living a life of impact by consistently doing the right thing against all odds.
Mrs Adebola Nora Oseghale charged young women to build self-esteem, develop themselves, and pursue productivity and financial empowerment rather than waiting for validation through marriage.
Earlier in his charge, Pastor Usoro Usoro, read the vision behind the 2026 birthday celebration, noting the convener’s desire to transform his birthday into a platform for imparting knowledge and raising purpose-driven individuals.
A major highlight was the official launch of ‘Life Mastery with Dr Joe Wealth,’ a YouTube platform dedicated to teaching principles of success, personal development, leadership, entrepreneurship, marriage, purpose discovery, and wealth creation.
Participants were encouraged to subscribe and join the growing community.
Attendees described the summit as inspiring, practical, transformational, and timely, expressing appreciation for the quality of insights shared.
A major highlight was an entertainment session by renowned comedian St. Mosco, which brought laughter and excitement to the audience.
Video testimonies from friends, business associates, and mentees also moved attendees as they shared how Oseghale had impacted their lives through mentorship, business development, leadership training, and personal guidance.
The successful hosting of the Life Mastery Summit 2026 has positioned it as a promising platform for raising individuals equipped with the mindset, skills, values, and principles required for sustainable success and societal impact.
