I shared this because I feel that the Nigerian youth need more positive mentors like these not politicians, like tinubu or Obj or Ameachi or omo agege.or Atiku or Mc Oluomo!!
Those men put together cannot hold a candle to this young man.

It's important to always think on what you want to be remembered for.

Always know that what you assimilate shapes you. If you look to base / superficial things like drugs , fashion, enlarged boobs or bottoms , height , looks etc these will fade away with the time

Always look to noble uplifting things . This has nothing to do with religion or faith. I speak merely about understanding that if you spend your days listening to do music about women and dance moves , clothes and the so called fats life such will mold your thinking to tend toward the baser things .

Look at the geniuses of our time both alive and dead look at their childhood their hobbies , focus less on if Steve jobs was a drop out and focus more on what did he spend his time doing , he loved art, calligraphy...

Focus less on wanting to be cool and popular and focus and developing yourself , find that which makes you tick.

What you think mostly about shapes you, if you spend alot of your free time listening to , reading and absorbing certain type of information in no time you start to behave in a similar way . It creeps up on you unnoticed , until one day you way up and realize you are the very thing you have been fantasizing and thinking about all those years.

Knowledge is power , the internet offers so much more beyond comedy skits , gossip, pranks , call outs , and stories

There is so much you can learn ... It is your gateway or your sentence. Look at your browser history , notice a pattern? Look at the website you frequent, what do they add to you as a person ?

Are you just spending time chasing other people's stories , their gossips or sex?

Change didn't have to be done big dramatic step, but it begins with how you think.

Being able to criticize or call out bad people does not make you good. Nor does being good ensure you achieve success ..

Discipline is the key, discipline how you think , speak, behave and react to everything.

Then start to see your life changing.

My two cents. This will likely never reach front page but I hope it spurs someone somewhere to begin to think differently.

Cheers

But while this young man and others are building, Tinubu and his likes are destroying. No hope for the country.
