Cuppy, who is also a renowned philanthropist, was the moderator for the Youth Action Day, and she captivated the audience with her charisma, electrifying the session with her dynamic energy.

In her keynote, she casually hinted at her aspiration to become Nigeria’s first female president, which prompted a humorous and encouraging response from Amina J. Mohammed, the UN Deputy Secretary-General

DJ Cuppy’s participation highlighted the significance of youth involvement in global affairs, and her presence at the event further underscored the importance of female leadership, especially for young women across Africa.

Cuppy concluded her involvement with a musical performance that left a powerful impression, sealing her role as a trailblazer in both the entertainment and global advocacy arenas

In the comment section of the video, viewers shared their thoughts on the event and its broader implications for global governance and youth leadership.

One user, ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116, expressed optimism about the younger generation’s potential to address global challenges, stating that “effective intergenerational initiatives and collaborations” could foster development and recovery. This reflects the sentiment that youth-led actions, such as those promoted at the Summit, hold the key to the world’s future.

However, not all comments were in agreement.

User jellybeanz3405 expressed skepticism, stating, “Keep your global governance to yourself. The people of America like our sovereignty,” highlighting concerns about the implications of global initiatives for national independence.

Another commenter, EdwardLawrence-12345, struck a more hopeful tone, proclaiming, “We are the next super global leaders,” while quoting Marcus Tullius Cicero: “Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error,” emphasizing the importance of learning from past mistakes as we navigate toward global leadership.

These comments reflect the diversity of opinions surrounding global governance and the role of young leaders, with some hopeful for change and others wary of external influence.
