Ya Allah, when our strength runs low, be our strength. When our hearts feel heavy, be our peace. And when we donβt know what to ask for, grant us whatβs best.
I have heard disturbing stories about the extent to which young Nigerians are being driven simply to survive. Perhaps the most horrifying are the growing reports of young people selling parts of their bodies: kidneys in particular, in desperate attempts to raise money.
Young people should be selling dreams, ideas and innovation, not their body organs.
Yet when the cost-of-living crisis becomes unbearable, desperation begins to make the unthinkable appear like an option. That should offend the conscience of every Nigerian.
In Tinubuβs Nigeria, almost everything required to live with dignity is becoming more expensive by the day: food, transport, rent, school fees, medicine and electricity.
Yet young Nigerians are reportedly being driven to sell their kidneys for as little as β¦1.7 million.
That should break the heart of a nation.
Young Nigerians should be building careers, starting businesses, raising families and pursuing their dreams, not calculating how much parts of their bodies can fetch simply to stay alive.
When young Nigerians begin to see their kidneys as emergency savings, we are no longer talking about ordinary economic hardship.
We are talking about desperation at its most frightening.
Nigeria already has laws prohibiting commercial organ sales and organ trafficking. But laws alone cannot cure the poverty and desperation that make vulnerable young people easy prey for criminal networks.
No government should celebrate βreformsβ while young Nigerians are being reduced to selling parts of themselves to eat, pay rent, settle school fees or survive.
Economic reform must have a human face. It must mean affordable food, cheaper transportation, accessible healthcare, decent jobs and renewed hope for the next generation.
Our young people should be selling their ideas, talents and innovation to the world and not their kidneys for β¦1.7 million just to survive at home.
This is the human cost of Nigeriaβs cost-of-living crisis.
Tinubu made Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again. -AA

Oh Allah! Despite My Choice and Praying For the Emergence Of Sen. Uba Sani As Kaduna State Governor And Abba Kabir Yusuf (Abba Gida-gida) As Kano State Governor In the Forthcoming Elections, Bless Us with Better leaders Even If it's against Our Wishes.
It may be wrong to say this, but those who think can advocate using religion as a tool in playing politics, better change their mindset, if this comes to stay, in 100 years Nigeria will be ruled by their neighbors, because they are higher in population.

It's a sign of high moral capacity to maintain peaceful and cordial state of understanding even at the most unwarranted situations.
My Respect Goes to Entire Individuals who place their country prior to their selfishness.

If you knew where some people came from you wouldn't have wished them to fail. Many are out to change a story, some to avoid being harassed while others to have their calls picked.
