AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR @officialABAT

Your Excellency,

I write with deep respect and concern for the security of our nation. Nigeria has immense promise, yet insecurity continues to undermine our progress and the peace of our communities. Our Armed Forces have shown courage and commitment, but modern threats have become too widespread and unpredictable for a single overstretched military structure to manage alone.

This is why I humbly appeal for the creation of a Reserve Component for the Nigerian Armed Forces, similar to the United States National Guard. Such a system would strengthen internal security, improve response times, and support the military without the heavy financial burden of expanding full-time forces.

A Nigerian Reserve or National Guard style system would provide several key benefits. First, it would allow trained Nigerians to serve part-time, giving the nation a large pool of manpower that can be mobilized in emergencies. Second, reservists would be based in their home states and familiar with local terrain, culture, and security challenges, enabling faster and more intelligent responses to crises such as banditry, kidnapping, communal conflicts, and oil theft. Third, the existence of a reserve structure would ease the pressure on active-duty soldiers, many of whom are deployed simultaneously across multiple regions and missions.

A reserve force would also support disaster response, including floods, fires, building collapses, and environmental emergencies, ensuring that every state has trained personnel ready to act. Beyond security, it would provide employment opportunities, skills training, discipline, and leadership development for thousands of Nigerian youths, reducing vulnerability to crime and radicalization.

A practical structure for Nigeria could include state-based battalions, federal activation authority for national emergencies, integration of veterans as trainers, and specialized units for cyber defense, engineering, medical support, and logistics. This framework is affordable, realistic, and consistent with global best practices.

Your Excellency, Nigeria’s current wave of insecurity requires adaptive solutions. A Reserve Component would allow every state to contribute actively to security while strengthening national unity and resilience. This reform aligns with your Renewed Hope agenda and would stand as a legacy of visionary leadership.

I respectfully urge the establishment of a Presidential Committee to design the reserve system, the drafting of a National Guard Bill, and pilot programs in regions most affected by insecurity.

This initiative is not just military reform. It is a nation-building opportunity, one that can help secure the lives, hopes, and future of millions of Nigerians.
With sincere respect and patriotism,

Boon Akinsade

Rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.
When it feels like you have lost it all and the weight of your choices comes crashing down, do not run from the reflection staring back at you. Sit with it. Own it. Take accountability. Ask yourself if you had another chance, how would you move differently?

This is your turning point.

Now is the time to rebuild. Not overnight. Not in one giant leap. But brick by brick.
With focus. With discipline. With unshakable consistency.

You are not starting from scratch.
You are starting from experience.
And from the ashes of who you were,
you will rise and become someone stronger than you ever imagined.

Keep building. The best version of you is waiting.

No matter how heavy life feels or how far the road ahead may seem, remember this: you only need to take it one day at a time. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just focus on showing up today. With grace, with courage, with intention. Small steps, when taken consistently, can lead to massive breakthroughs. Breathe, stay grounded, and trust that progress is still progress, no matter how slow. You’ve got this.

It’s okay to document the grind but don’t publish until the success is so vivid, they can see it in 3D. Let your results do the talking before your captions ever do.

In the game of cards, it’s not about playing just because it’s your turn—it’s about choosing the right card at the right moment. Every move shapes your fate, and timing is everything. Just like life, success hinges not on haste but on strategy—because one wrong play can cost you the game

2024 tested me in ways I never imagined—highs that lifted me and lows that tried to break me. It was a year of soul-searching, making tough choices about love, peace, and what truly matters. I defined my vision for the future, let go of the weight of negativity, and reminded myself that, despite it all, I’ve done well. I owe so much to the incredible people who believed in me, who kept reminding me that I’m on the right path. Now, 2025 is here, and it’s all about “Project Boon”. This year, I’m stepping into my power, unapologetically. Let’s make it unforgettable. Happy New Year to Y’all Filthy MFs!
