Dear youths,
“My vote don’t count”
“My vote won’t count”
This is no longer an excuse. What are you doing (solutions) to ensure it counts?!
Don’t tell me, create an action plan about your solutions…
Education is the greatest equalizer
Majority of those who broke even from humble backgrounds, have done so through education.
Thats why its imperative to take education very seriously especially if you are from poor background.
People will give this many interpretations but that will not change the above facts.
Listening attentively is an act of worship, and remaining silent during times of turmoil is a means of salvation. Not everything that is known should be spoken, and not everything that is spoken is timely.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.”
Silence, when exercised at the right time, is strength; and a well-timed word can bring life. Learn the art of speaking, and master the worship of silence.
Pride blinds you to the struggles of others. Empathy opens your eyes to them.
Pride asks, “Why can’t they do what I did?”
Empathy asks, “What burden are they carrying that I cannot see?”
The strongest people are not those who look down on others from the height of their success, but those who remember where they came from and choose compassion over arrogance.
Humility builds hearts. Pride builds walls.
Your mindset is your outcome…
Whoever lives with a poverty mindset may end up in poverty. Whoever humbles themselves in a degrading way will be humiliated. Whoever belittles themselves will be looked down upon. Whoever carries themselves with dignity will be honored. Whoever seeks protection will be protected. And whoever seeks refuge in Allah will be granted His protection.
“You become the product of what your mind continually tells you.”
To all those sisters that dress in their beautiful Hijabs—leaving nothing to be revealed—in a society where wearing of the Hijab is considered “old fashioned”, may Allah continue to make you steadfast on the deen.
To all young graduates from the North and beyond, my experience with graduate trainee applications has been eye-opening.
After your https://t.co/e4YssnVdgI. and NYSC, you might feel ready for the job market, but the reality is that we’re all competing on a national stage. You see graduates from other parts of Nigeria who studied law, medicine, engineering, and other disciplines, yet many of them also have professional certifications like ICAN, ACCA, CFA, or other valuable credentials.
Why not us?
If we want to stand out, we must go beyond our degrees and invest in professional certifications, digital skills, and continuous learning. Whether it’s ICAN, ACCA, CFA, data analytics, project management, or other relevant courses, these qualifications can give us a competitive edge.
Let’s push ourselves to do more, learn more, and become more competitive. The opportunities are there—we just have to prepare ourselves for them.
Calmness is strength, even when everything inside you feels like it’s falling apart. Eventually, everything will fall into its right place at the right time.
Political parties are now just platforms to contest on. People no longer vote blindly for parties, they vote for individuals, character, competence, and vision. The person matters more than the logo.
