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!

Real Protection for the Girl Child

‎ ‎Let’s Address the Genesis, Not the Symptoms: Why Raising Accountable Boys Is the Real Protection for the Girl Child ‎ ‎By Comr. Abdulkareem Yusuf O. ‎ +2349033726329 ‎ ‎ ‎Every few months, Nigeria wakes up to another heartbreaking video of young girls assaulted, humiliated, or violated. The outrage is immediate. Hashtags trend. Celebrities speak. Petitions circulate. ‎But within weeks, the noise fades, until the next case. ‎We are treating the symptoms and not the disease. ‎The disease is not just "bad men." ‎It is how we raise boys, especially in homes where entitlement is nurtured, accountability is absent, and toxic masculinity is rewarded. ‎ ‎The Genesis It Starts in the Cradle ‎Let’s be honest ‎Most perpetrators of violence against girls were once little boys who were never corrected. ‎ ‎A 5-year-old boy slaps a girl and is told, "He’s just playing. ‎A 10-year-old grabs a classmate and hears, "Boys will be boys. ‎A teen...

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF LAUTECH FROM COMR. ABDUL-KARREM YUSUF OPEYEMI (IRREDUCIBLE EMINENT)

Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF LAUTECH A CRY FOR ACADEMIC JUSTICE FOR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY To the Vice-Chancellor, To the Management, To the Senate, To every authority entrusted with protecting the academic dignity of this great institution, I write not in anger alone. I write in conviction. I write in defense of truth. I write because silence at a time like this would be betrayal. What is currently being proposed — the movement of Anatomy and Physiology from the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences to another faculty under Pure and Applied Sciences — is not a mere restructuring. It is not a harmless administrative shuffle. It is not just paperwork. It is an academic statement. And that statement, whether intentional or not, says: “These disciplines are no longer central to medicine.” That message is dangerous. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY ARE NOT SIDE COURSES Anatomy is the study of the human body — its structure, its organization, its ...

Nigerians let's build our country before they spoilt it for us completely, Godogodo a case study

Life always finds a way to balance itself. No matter how high anyone climbs, no matter how strong they think they are, one day, they will come down. What goes up must surely come down. Our youth are falling in bad road because we care not about them, now the results are out in a negative way. Let's look into the live of a notorious armed robber in Nigeria, a man called Godogodo. To many, he was a criminal, a dangerous armed robber who terrorized Lagos, Ogun, and other states. But when you look closely, his story tells more than just crime, it tells how this country failed its own people. Godogodo was not born evil. He was born into a system that never gave him a chance. A smart man, bold and strategic, with the kind of intelligence that could have served in the military or the police. But Nigeria never saw that potential. The streets saw it first, and the streets claimed him. He became what the country made him. And for years, he used that same intelligence to outsmart the v...

POWER, SOVEREIGNTY, AND THE LIMITS OF INTERVENTION: LESSONS FROM VENEZUELA AND WARNINGS FOR NIGERIA

In a world that claims to be governed by laws, rules, and mutual respect among nations, power still speaks louder than principle. This reality becomes clear whenever a powerful country acts beyond its borders in the name of security, democracy, or global stability. One of the most controversial modern examples is the long-standing confrontation between the United States and Venezuela. Whether through economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, support for opposition movements, or alleged covert actions, the Venezuelan case forces the world to ask an uncomfortable question: who really protects the sovereignty of weaker nations in a power-driven international system? This discussion is not about defending bad governance. It is not about romanticizing failed leadership. Venezuela’s internal problems—economic collapse, power shortages, inflation, poor public services, and political repression—are well documented. Millions of Venezuelans have suffered, and many have fled their country in sear...

Nurse Rufus Favour Mojisola and Her CHEW bosses Saga not based on jealousy but proudness and lack of humbleness

By Comr. Abdulkareem Yusuf Opeyemi Irreducible Eminent +2349033726329 September 16, 2025 Dear Esteemed Leaders and Fellow Nigerians, I am writing this open letter as a concerned healthcare professional and resident of Kwara State, deeply committed to the integrity, professionalism, and excellence of our healthcare system. It is with a heavy heart but a resolute sense of duty that I address the recent petition and public statements made by Nurse Rufus Favour Mojisola, a registered nurse posted to the Ekan Primary Health Center (PHC) in Oke-Ero Local Government Area (LGA). Her allegations, which have gained traction through media outlets and social platforms, paint a distorted picture of mistreatment, professional jealousy, and systemic malpractices. After conducting my own independent investigation—speaking with colleagues, reviewing available records, and cross-referencing public reports—I have concluded that the majority of her claims are unfounded, exagg...
