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!

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...

Community Health professionals are NOBODY'S INFERIOR

‎ ‎Dear Colleagues, Esteemed Leaders of NANNM, NMA, CHPRBN, SCHTSN, and All Health Stakeholders in Kwara State and Beyond, ‎I am a concerned citizens and health practitioner in Kwara state, a proud son of the soil. ‎ ‎I am writing to open our eyes to the truth: community health practitioners are not just essential team members; they are fully qualified and empowered to lead any health administrative office, from local department heads to higher roles. To those misled by rumors, let us start with a global example: the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, holds a PhD in community health, not a medical doctor, nursing, or pharmacy degree. If a community health professional can lead the world’s foremost health body, why should we in Nigeria doubt their ability to head our health departments? ‎ ‎This should awaken those spreading misinformation: community health professionals can lead anywhere, from Oke Ero to international plat...

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

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 ...

Unsaintly Judging Saints: The Dangers of Hasty Criticism

In our pursuit of spiritual excellence, we often find ourselves judging revered figures, forgetting their humanity. This phenomenon, dubbed "unsaintly judging," can have far-reaching consequences. It's essential to recognize the dangers of hasty criticism and cultivate empathy. *The Dangers of Judging Saints* 1. *Spiritual Hubris*: Believing ourselves superior, we judge others' faith, neglecting our flaws. 2. *Lack of Empathy*: Forgetting their struggles, we criticize their mistakes, disregarding their context. 3. *Misrepresentation*: Cherry-picked flaws distort their true character, creating unfair perceptions. 4. *Discouragement*: Criticism can deter others from spiritual pursuits, fostering disillusionment. 5. *Self-Reflection Neglect*: Focusing on others' flaws, we overlook our own, hindering personal growth. *Consequences of Unsaintly Judgment* 1. *Division and Discord*: Criticism fuels conflict, damaging communal harmony. 2. *Spiritual Growth Hindrance*: Jud...

ALL IS VANITY BY COMRADE ABDUL-KAREEM YUSUF OPEYEMI

"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 ...
