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!

MISTAKES STUDENTS SHOULD NEVER MAKE IN HIGHER INSTITUTION

NEVER allow a lecturer limit you or your ability. He is where he probably wants to be..you are not yet where you want to be..don't allow him limit you by his words, grades or outburst. "Comr Abdul-kareem Yusuf Opeyemi" Below are the rest Add caption Mistake Students should never Make in Universities  1. NEVER wait till your part 4 or 3 before going for your IT/internship, use every holiday to learn something new and interesting, be it in your field or outside of it. 2. NEVER graduate knowing only things pertaining to your degree, if you do, you will limit yourself. Expand your horizon, know something about everything there is to know. 3. NEVER read for grades, grades won't carry you beyond school. Read for knowledge, read to be empowered. 4. NEVER separate yourself from others, Make friends with all sort of people, Regardless of faith, creed, colour and knowledge. 5. NEVER allow a lecturer limit you or your ability.

Cross Over 2024? TO WHERE EXACTLY

Cross over without carry over! CROSS-OVER? TO Where Exactly?  That sounds nice, really nice! That will make a good line for spoken words, poems, motivations and so on but in reality, it makes just a little or no sense. Whatever you have not been able to address this year will follow you into next year. And please, carryover is not a bad thing to some sort. The debts you ran into this year and never settled it will follow you into next year no matter how you prayed! The clothes you didn’t wash on 31st night won’t suddenly appear neat on 1st January. There is no single difference between the new year and the old year just that you are reminded that time is passing! It is the same air, the same atmosphere, the same issues… Nothing changes except what you choose to change. It is better to carry over things and really solve them next year than thinking you’d run away from it because you spent a few hours in Church on 31st night. The only thing about the New Year is the change of number,...
