Maybe so but we have not managed that diversity well at all as others have done worldwide.

Instead we have used it to impede each other's progress to turn Nigeria into a 'crab in a bucket' nation. Our own diversity is used to frustrate, cheat and undermine each other's. It is totally fraudulent.

If the sultan of Sokoto and other prominent Northerners are sincere then let them join us agitating for what is shown below.

You cannot just continue producing rhetoric about “Let us continue to talk to one another, let us not get tired of talking to one another” while people die and suffer needlessly.

A youth group under the aegis of Presidential Support Council, has rejected the appointment of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, as the National Youth Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council for the 2023 general election.

The APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu had approved the Bello’s appointment to lead youths of the party into the presidential campaigns which is expected to kick off September 28, 2022.

Speaking during a press conference in Lafia on Monday, the national leader of the group, Kassim Muhammad, said they were not in support of the appointment because it was to be given to a person not more than 40 years of age.

The group then urged the Kogi State governor to openly reject the offer in order to pave way for youths of the party to also contribute their quota to the presidential campaign council.

He added that Governor Bello, who was a presidential aspirant in the recently conducted primary election of the party, should rather be given a higher role to play in the campaign council instead of occupying the Youth Coordinator position.

Muhammad, a former member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly said, “There are capable youths within the party who have the capacity and capability to handle that position in the Presidential Campaign Council, and that would have given Nigerian youths a better hope in the incoming APC administration under Bola Tinubu.

“We recognise the antecedents of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to grow and develop youths. He has done well to several youths across the country who are today great men and women, and doing well in their various endeavours.

“But appointing a serving governor into a position that should be occupied by a youth is unacceptable. Governor Yahaya Bello is too big for such a role, so the appointment should be reconsidered.

“The party and its presidential candidate should give the youths an assurance that the incoming government will be that of inclusivity, and the only way to do that is to ensure that a youth is given the National Youth Coordinator position.

“Nigeria’s latest population estimate stood at 198 million, and half of the population is made up of the youths between ages 15-40. So the youths should be given top priority by any leadership in the country for inclusivity.

“We have over 300 youth groups under the Presidential Support Council, and we have all decided that we are not in support of Governor Yahaya Bello to lead the youths into the APC presidential campaigns for the 2023 general election.”

The Debt Management Office has disclosed that Nigeria’s total public debt stock has increased from N41.60tn as of March 2022 to N42.84tn as of June of the same year, showing an increase of N1.24tn in three months.

This is according to a press statement published on the DMO’s website on Monday.

The comparative figures for March 30, 2022, was N41.60tn ($100.07bn).”

The DMO noted that external debt remained the same at N16.61tn ($40.06bn) from Q1 to Q2 2022, adding that 58 per cent of external debts were concessional and semi-concessional loans from multilateral lenders such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, Afrexim and African Development Bank and bilateral lenders including Germany, China, Japan, India and France.

It also noted that domestic debt rose to N26.23tn ($63.24bn) due to new borrowings by the government to part-finance the deficit in 2022 Appropriation {Repeal and Enactment) Act, as well as new borrowings by State Governments and the FCT.

The DMO further said that the Total Public Debt to GDP as of June 30, 2022, was 23.06 per cent compared to the ratio of 23.27 per cent as of March 36, 2022, adding that the Debt Service-to-Revenue Patio remained high.

They're exploring this forum as well, using their Eastern collaborators who tend to try to rubbish every news about the loses they suffer on the battlefield.

You see their agents here alot. When the news break, they are first to arrive the scene to scream:

1. Fake news.

2. Audio killing.

3. God punish Nigerian army.

Etc.

They don't hide their activities anymore. They openly show their distaste for any news revealing loses suffered by terrorists and praise the terrorists anytime they happen to kill our troops.

But in the end, one thing is certain, evil will NEVER triumph over good. As it were in the days of the first men, so shall it be till eternity. The terrorists and their Eastern collaborators will be vanquished.

God bless Nigeria and all those who wish her well.

Fifteen-year-old England-born Nigerian, Ethan Chidiebere Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on as a substitute for Arsenal as they returned to the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 win at Brentford on Sunday.

Nwaneri, who is 15 years and 181 days old, came on in the second minute of stoppage time, the first player under 16 to play in the competition. Harvey Elliott, now at Liverpool, previously held the record at 16 years and 30 days when he played for Fulham in 2019.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: “He has trained a couple of times with us and I had a feeling yesterday that if the opportunity came I would do it.

“I think it sends a strong message about who we are as a club. I told him yesterday he would be with us and he had to be ready. He is ready. When he went on I said: ‘Congratulations and enjoy it.’

“We want to give opportunities. When there is talent and personality and when players love what they do, and when they have no fear, the doors are open for them to explore where they can go.
