Dr. Clement Obadimu is a living testimony of ‘grass to
grace’ analogy. As a ‘Life Coach’, he never shy away from acts of charity and
helping others fulfilling their destinies. In a special investigative mission
to Niger Delta, the Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists, NGIJ
discovers a rare Nigerian who is about to make history by publishing ten books
in a day. This feat, according to findings is unprecedented and therefore wets
the curiosity of investigators who despite the season of torrential rainfall
traced the Ogun state born resident of Akwa Ibom to far away Eket, one of the
major towns in the state.
“I truly authored ten books; all deal with how best to live
a meaningful life and practical illustrations from our immediate and remote
environments. And it’s also true that I’m unveiling all the ten books on a
single day. As a matter of fact the ten books will soon be unveiled in a couple
of weeks” Clement Olusegun Obadimu, a volunteered lecturer pro bono confirmed
to four members of The Guild led by ‘Wale Abideen President and Managing
editor of SECURITY MONITOR (www.securitymonitorng.com) Solanke Ayomideji Taiwo,
Secretary and Editor-in-Chief of AMEBO, (www.amebo9jafeed.com.ng) Adeyemi
Obadimu, Assistance Publicity Secretary and Publisher of News Extra(www.newsextra.com) andOsho
Oluwatosin, Welfare Officer and C.E.O of Trixx TV (www.trixxng.com) in his humble bungalow
apartment located in Eket, Akwa Ibom State.
Dr. Clem, as the certified Life Coach is fondly called by
his admirers sheds more lights on the books and how to get them, “I have
actually authored two books in the past. But in the series of my new books
are, Beyond The Roots and this talks about overcoming a
foundational challenge, failure syndrome and embracing the simplicity of
success. Here I chronicled my life experiences and some of my numerous mentors
around the globe”.
“Beyond The Roots is the first in the series of four
books I tagged: ‘From being successful to being significant’. The books
acknowledge that an individual whether influenced by his genetic background or
conditioned by his environment can still experience liberation through
self-determination, self-discipline and the essence of the power of God”
NGIJ engagement with a man who practices what he showcased
in his speeches, lectures, public presentations and perhaps in the new 10 books
could be very educative and didactic as Dr. Obadimu’s guests and teeming crops
of youths he mentors on daily basis interrupted The Guild’s chat with Dr.
Obadimu as the marriage counselor whose attention is sought both in the
religion and secular circle speaks further. “One of my books, titled: The
Reality explains that success is not the destination but touching lives
positively is. I also publish The Route which reveals the 12 Dees of
achieving realities of one’s dreams”.
Dr. Clement Obadimu said one of the books he is about to
launch is The Rise which details the 12 Ps of personality and
business growth and the need for success sustenance. This book according to The
Guild’s findings always equips, enrich and cause a paradigm shift in the
approach of the readers. Emmanuel Udoikpa, Chairman of the Society for Moral
and Ethical Rehabilitation opines that the contents in Clement Obadimu’s series
of books, ‘From being Successful to being significant’ “shortened the distance
and days between individual and where he or she desires to be in life. The
principles explained in the books are like quick references which help to
eliminate unnecessary negatives and backwards pains travellers of life
encounter on way to their Eldorado”
.
Clement is not an extra ordinary man but an ordinary
Nigerian doing an ordinary thing in an extra ordinary manner and so while
showcasing the book ‘Only God Can Do This’ to members of The Guild,
the author displays a skill commonly found among men of God and Christian
priests. With a mood that suggests its importance, Dr. Clem explains that the
book, “Only God Can Do This’ is a collections of true life experiences of
ordinary men and women who had experienced extra ordinary lifting at the
merciful hands of supernatural God”. He added that the book is sequel to ‘Only
God Can Do This’ Vol 1.
A devout Christian and the District Men’s President of his
church, Dr Obadimu noted that “from near death experiences deliverance to
awesome financial blessings; from ‘mind boggling’ to ‘eye popping’ encounters-
at the end you cannot but agree that only God and God alone can make things
possible and with God all things are truly possible”.
An Inspiratory tutor to many students of the Akwa Ibom State
University and University of Uyo, Dr. Clem’s book titled; Study Smart is
a cynosure to the eyes of young ones who like to form the habits of highly
successful students as the book exposed readers to over 100 secret strategies
for studying effectively. The book teaches students how not to cheat but pass
examinations with modern and result oriented reading styles.
Dr. Obadimu’s ‘Why Businesses Fail’ is a true life
experiences from his involvement in business world. Obadimu did not only
explain why businesses fail in this book but also proffers antidote to business
failures and financial sustenance. He gave reasons why his own private
businesses fail and the strategies he applied to lift them up.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Ph.D, GCFR former President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria, after reading some of the books decided to write
the ‘forward’ to one of them titled: Now That You Are A Graduate
Obasanjo in his forward to the book which aptly captures the
interest of fresh graduate regretted that “unfortunately, too many graduates of
our tertiary institutions today depend on the government and other institutions
for blue and white collar jobs to eke out a survival for themselves. This is
both the fault of our education and the attitude of our educated” The former
President who recently bagged his Ph.D added that “our world needs not only those
who are educated but mostly those who are ready to transform the educational
initiatives, handwork, drive and creativity into development, growth and
progress. If you fall into any of these classes of people for development, then
indeed this book is for you”.
Ochagu Kaka, Ph.D., a lecturer in College of Technology,
Calabar while endorsing Study Smart says “Written in prose that at
times reads like poetry, the book itself is a fitting reflection of the joys of
studying. Its language is simple without being pedantic, insightful without
being obtuse, inspiring and encouraging. It inspires the readers to great
academic heights, heights that can be achieved without cutting corners…”
Emmanuel Etuk is the President of the Psalmists Mission in
Nigeria who had read some of the books authored by Dr. Obadimu and hailed Beyond
The Roots as thus “For the first time in human history, a book has emerged
that marries Godly and rational, theological and philosophical principles to
solve the problem of human development.
The ten books are undoubtedly hidden treasures to those who
could not read them. Nigerian Guild of
Investigative journalists as well as
union of online journalists has set up a team to attend the launching of the
books in Uyo, the capital city of oil rich Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. The book
unveiling committee also hint of an elaborate Book Launching ceremony and added
that Dr. Clem’s 10 Books will be available in both e-format and hard copy. “The
E- format could be accessed through amazon.com while the hard copies will hit
bookshops nationwide immediately after the launching.
The erudite author, certified life coach and ‘destiny
helper’ is a role model to many young successful Nigerians who field questions
from investigators and affirmed the intellectual and charity prowess of Dr.
Clement Olusegun Obadimu.
Obadimu bagged a Ph.D. in Analytical (Environmental)
Chemistry from the University of Calabar and he is happily married, with lovely
children to Esther Olushola Obadimu.
