My position on the role of Nigerian youths

At the 1st Ikorodu Division Youth Summit, I had the opportunity to speak my truth when permitted to give my 2cents on youth inclusiveness in governance & community development.

"Youths can get involved as stakeholders in governance & community development in various ways asides contesting elective positions at general elections."

Most of us urgently need to become active as voters, advocates, trainers, trainees, employers, employees and perfect role models for the younger generation.

We need to use our internet space more productively. Let's abandon frivolities like fake news/hoax messages, pornography, internet fraud E.T.C for more productive activities that will better our lot as individuals and collectively as a Nation.

We also need to position ourselves to ask vital questions from our elected officers in various capacities. Those, including the appointed ones MUST remain accountable to the people and display transparency as a core value in the running of their offices.

Let us also join hands to celebrate & reward our integrity heroes while we demand adequate sanctions for the corrupt officials.

Abandon thuggery and all forms of malpractices. "WE ARE YOUTHS, LET US CHANGE THE NARRATIVES."

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

This one just finds it's way into that pain which i have long hidden from childhood as tears were gonna roll out of my eyelids, lids well suited for a strong man like this....Imagine! An aged woman in the community said in Yoruba, "Aisan Malaria lasan lasan", meaning "Ordinary Malaria disease"; well, no be lie na! At least many of us in Nigeria have Malaria and it does nothing to us na! Chai, that statement rang a bell of a Genius, called to dine with the earth just in his prime. Let me not bore you with the long story.... My mother, a proud mum of 3 boys..We used to call

Friends or Friendstumers? The business lenses

Intro.... Chai!, Bad English!, you think so right? Well, awakening to a new day with a host of experiences is the motivation behind the new Word (FRIENDSTUMERS). Don't bother checking the Oxford, Longman or any of your favorite, popular dictionaries as the response to your enquiry lie within you. It is a name coined to represent those friends who help your business grow. Caution If you do not have a business mindset, you may find the next lines offensive and boring. However, with a great conscience, you just might tag along with the message as you may find them useful too. Friends or Customers? We all have these many friends to whom we are connected. You put up a post of yourself partying or doing some great stuff and all the comments flowing in from left, right and centre on social media. That can be so fulfilling to be sincere. Such fulfillment that lasts for a few minutes or at most, a few days. Have you thought about reaching the pinnacle of your fulfillment t
