First Lady Oluremi Tinubu on Friday said she does not beg, declaring that she only works with whatever God provides as she urged Nigerian youths to embrace contentment, hard work and patience.

She spoke at the State House, Abuja, while receiving the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Wing, where she presented brand-new buses to the youth leaders ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Explaining the source of the vehicles, the First Lady said they were donated by well-meaning individuals who support her initiatives, adding that she chose to pass the gesture on to the party’s youth wing.

“In this office, I don’t beg. God told me not to beg. It is whatever He provides that I work with and I am teaching you how to learn contentment and not be beggarly,” she said.

She praised the APC youth leaders for not making demands from her office, saying their attitude demonstrated selflessness.

“You have done well because you have never made such requests from my office. I am delighted because you need the buses to work,” she added.

Mrs Tinubu urged young Nigerians to avoid the lure of quick wealth, stressing that lasting success comes through diligence, integrity and perseverance.

“There is no food for lazy persons,” she said, encouraging the youths to cultivate discipline and patience.

Drawing an analogy from the eagle, she said young people should develop resilience and rise above challenges instead of becoming discouraged.

“You have to have the eagle’s mentality. When the eagle sees the storm, it laughs at it and sees how it can fly above it. That is what you should all do. You should always look for your own path and not because that person has it, I want it,” she said.

Because the Nigerian taxpayers have been funding your lifestyle and that of your family members since time immemorial. During the 2023 campaigns, she lamented how she had to borrow money from Shettima's wife but today, she is doling out cars and billions of naira on a whim to political appointees. Are these monies from the Library donations account where she begged Nigerians to donate into during her birthday?

Before Tinubu became a Senator, was he a wealthy man ? yes or no ?

Why fault him for being a Senator then Governor then President thus providing for his wife the best quality of life ?

Instead of blaming him. Blame the ones around you that were sleeping or taking Burukutu when Tinubu was hustling. Even if na SALT be his seed money - he took that risk

PS - Remi Tinubu is tone deaf. She is right that more self contentment is needed. But she's detached from reality because she's not been poor for a while. Maybe never in her lifetime.

Kindly tell us the hustle Tinubu embarked upon to become stupendously rich prior to becoming a Senator. Buruji Kashamo was also a hustler with interpol arrest warrant and extradition hovering over his head when he contested for governor of Ogun state. Forgive us for not joining you in admiring such personalities. Wealth must be backed with genuine enterprise.

Being a Senator and a former governor does not bestow upon one that level of wealth except via corruption.
