Letter to the youth.
Tinubu is the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria. The earlier you accept this reality the better for you. Man has worked tirelessly for over 25yrs for whatever you are seeing today and what would happen by the end of February 2023.
@AsiwajuOladimej@RajiDraj Well done @AsiwajuOladimej I think the online requirements for death registration should be reviewed especially the next of kin letter and the police report. The process should be seamless especially for online applicants because all these are not required at the NPC office.
Fellow Nigerians
Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.
When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own.
Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved.

@Chrisbamidele@Tope_soft Those before him that were the strongest link, what did they gain? None of them was able to install their preferred candidate as their successor and this 'weakest link" has choose to do things differently but you know, "agenda must agenda!".
Quick story.
I know of a guy that escaped Nigeria few years ago.
Survived living in Nigeria for over 40yrs, had a construction coy and was doing very well for himself
Decided to relocate his family to the US of A and had a terrible accident in Los Angeles that claimed his life
Quick story.
I know of a guy that escaped Nigeria in the 80’s and lived in the U.S. for 33 years.
Survived living in the U.S. especially the 80’s and 90’s gang violence in Los Angeles with drive by shootings and all.
Decided to comeback home to Nigeria.
Three years after getting back, a hit and run driver got him on Lagos Ibadan Expressway and he ended up in a wheelchair.
True story, I know the guy.
Part 1
Sir permit me this can be long.
I can understand why he’s feeling regret, marrying someone he now questions, hiding things from his family, and carrying all that weight it’s heavy. But the truth is, he put himself in that situation. The deliberate decision to get her pregnant, the avoidance of honest conversations with his parents, the secrecy around the marriage, those are all choices that came with consequences he couldn’t escape.
What really stands out to me is how much guilt and fear shaped his decisions. Instead of being upfront and taking responsibility early, he let pride, anxiety, and the fear of hurting people dictate his actions. And that’s something a lot of Nigerians can relate to our society often makes it so hard to navigate love and family at the same time. People expect you to do the right thing, but sometimes the right thing is complicated, uncomfortable, and deeply personal.
The lessons here is avoiding truth and accountability never makes life easier, it just makes it more complicated. Honesty upfront, courage to face uncomfortable situations, and owning your decisions even if it hurts can save so much long term pain. It’s messy, it’s human, and it reminds all of us that love, family, and responsibility are never simple, but facing them head on is always better than running from them.
