Today, May 27, is designated Children’s Day in Nigeria. As I ponder over the significance of this day, the admonition of the great Chilean Poet and Nobel laureate, Lucila Godoy Alcayaga, (pseudonym, Gabriela Mistral) in her famous poem, His Name is TODAY; flashed through my mind.
I reproduce same below for the (renewed) attention of my country’s nay, my continent’s elected, elites and elders..

“We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is TODAY”.

Happy #ChildrensDay

$2.1 billion is the equivalent of global military expenditure every 8 hours;

$2.1 billion is the price of one stealth bomber;

$2.1 billion is 1/4 of what the tobacco industry spends on advertising and promotion every single year.

It seems somebody switched the price tags on what is truly valuable in our world.

A young lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment.

She shed tears for help but to no one available for help. When the case was called in court she started weeping.

Her family and friends who accompanied her started

This morning, I paid a condolence visit to the governor of Ondo state @LuckyAiyedatiwa over the passing of former governor @RotimiAkeredolu, at the government house in Akure.

I pray that this type of tragedy will never befall us in Ondo state again.

[Dr Olusegun Mimiko @Segunmimiko]

Aketi has done his bit and left this shores for good. We all must endeavour, for all that life is worth, to do our best to honour his memory and for the good of our dear State and country.
May he find peace in the bossom of the Lord.

I join millions of Nigerians and indeed Ondo State residents in mourning Mr Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, my successor as Governor of Ondo State and friend of many years, who just transited after a protracted health challenge.

[Dr Olusegun Mimiko @Segunmimiko]

I enjoin all the people of our dear state to shed all toga of partisanship and sentiments to mourn the departed compatriot and join in praying for strength to the family to bear the loss.

At the 2nd National Cocoa festival in Abuja on Tuesday.

Here, I made a case for centralized regulation with respect to cocoa production which will lead to increased income for cocoa farmers and the country as a whole.

Many thanks to CFAN for having me.
