Authentic Mentorship Matters: Hon. Mangna Wamyil Speaks at Mentor’s Guide Youth Conference

Hon. Mangna Wamyil recently shared a personal experience that highlights a crucial issue – the superficial understanding of mentorship among some youths. During his campaign for the Mangu/Bokkos federal constituency, many young people approached him with flattery and requests for mentorship. However, after his loss, many of these individuals disappeared, revealing their insincere intentions.

This experience raises important questions about the motivations behind some youths’ pursuit of mentorship. Is it genuinely driven by a desire for guidance and growth, or is it merely a means to gain favor, connections, or benefits?

Wamyil’s experience emphasizes the need for genuine mentorship, where individuals can form meaningful relationships, share experiences, and provide guidance to support personal and professional growth.
