Do we need youth to have a better country?

Do we need youth to have a better country? Sadly, our current leaders started leading as youths. Check their respective ages and subtract the last 20 years of democracy from it and let's see what we have. Let's take Rotimi Amaechi for instance. He is 55 now. He's 6 years into Minister. That means he became Minister at 49. He was Governor for 8 years. That means he became Governor at 41. Prior that, he was Speaker for 8 years, that means he was Speaker at 33. Freaking 33! How youth can youth be!l Do the maths for all of them and you will see that youth has brought us nothing. Fashola is 57. He was in Tinubu's Cabinet. Tinubu became Governor 21 years ago. Remove 21 from 57, that's 36. How youth can youth be? Wike is 53. He has been in power for the last 15/20 years. That's 33-35. How youth can youth be? Dimeji Bankole was a freaking 37 as Speaker in the National Assembly. Ahmed Lawan is 61. He is been in the assembly since 1999. That was 21 years ago at the age of 40. Even if President Buhari is 80yrs now, he was head of state in 1983, 37yrs ago, remove that from 80, that means he became the Head of State at the age of 43yrs and has bn instrumental corridor of power ever since. See what we have. What did we gain? We don't need the youths. We need a change of mindset and attitude, we need a change in the way parents nurture and train their children. Both young and old. Else, it's the same story. Youths have always been in power! They became old in power! Yet we are here!

A KIND OF PAIN THAT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN by Abdul-kareem Yusuf Opeyemi (Irreducible eminent)

By
A KIND OF PAIN THAT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN Comr. Abdul-kareem Yusuf Opeyemi It's not heartbreak from love, not grief from loss. It's the silent ache of living a life that feels... Empty. You're in your 20s or 30s... and life feels like a trap. You're not falling. You're not winning. You're just... floating. Everyone else seems to be building something. You're still trying to get out of bed. No job that excites you. No direction. No spark. You scroll through wins you can't relate to Weddings. Promotions. First homes. Meanwhile, you're stuck with overthinking, Late nights, And that crushing feeling that life is passing you by. You want to cry but the tears don't come. You want to pray but the words feel empty. You want to believe but hope feels far. And deep down, you wonder: "DID ALLAH FORGET ME !?" But maybe Just maybe This emptiness isn't the end. To everyone who feels left behind, May Allah give us strength to stand again. For the ...

RAISE MEN THAT RAISE MEN

By
"Raise men in men, as only men grows men, you won't continue to be strong always.  For the strength of a nation is not in its military might, nor in its technological advancements, but in the character of its citizens.  The future belongs to those who are willing to nurture, to guide, and to empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers. As we strive to build a better world, let us recognize that true strength lies not in dominance, but in vulnerability; not in power, but in compassion; and not in individual greatness, but in collective progress. Let us raise men who are vulnerable enough to show emotion, courageous enough to stand for what is right, and resilient enough to weather life's storms.  Let us raise men who will lift others up, who will listen, and who will lead with empathy and kindness. For when we raise men who embody these qualities, we create a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender, race, or background. A world where s...

ALL IS VANITY BY COMRADE ABDUL-KAREEM YUSUF OPEYEMI

By
"Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. The relentless pursuit of fleeting pleasures, the never-ending chase of earthly treasures, the ceaseless striving for temporary glory.  We toil, we labor, we struggle, but for what? Is it not to grasp the wind, to clasp the mist, to hold the sand between our fingers?  For in the end, what remains? What endures? Not the riches we accumulate, nor the titles we wear, nor the praise we receive. Not the kingdoms we build, nor the empires we conquer. For when the dust settles, and the ages pass, what remains is the legacy of our hearts. The love we shared, the kindness we showed, the compassion we gave. So let us not be fooled by vanity's siren call. Let us not be seduced by the fleeting allure of earthly glory. For true greatness lies not in what we accumulate, but in what we give. Let us invest in the eternal, not the ephemeral. Let us build bridges, not monuments. Let us sow seeds of love, not harvests of fame." By Comr. Abdulkareem Yusuf ...
