A call for Generational Transition in Politics (with Aina Omowumi Adenodi)

A Call For Generational Transition in Politics.
Anyone that says he is not interested in politics is like someone that is drowning and is still saying he is not interested in water.
Most of us feels we don't have anything to do with political issues, that is why some get the voters card, just to be identified as a citizen when the need arises for such, and not to exercise our franchise right, thereby allowing the mediocre to participate.
And then they are taken advantage of, and offered a token amount of money, food or some other materials, which they describe as their right from the contestant, so giving out their four years for a morsel, that is nothing to be compared to the suffering to be faced all the years ahead.
 Politics is not all about the elections, those who are into it are most concerned about elections, while the electorate's are concerned about their wellbeing, that is why they tend to go for those with the best manifesto that suites their needs.


 Until we all have a new mindset about politics in our nation, the change we are all craving for may never be a reality!, we keep shouting and chanting change!!! all around, but we've never thought about what it really means,some  people say it, because others are saying it, a large percent of Nigerians does not even know the literal meaning of CHANGE!.
We sit in the corners of our respective houses and say "if I were the President, Governor, Senator e.t.c, this is how I would have done it, and everything would have been fine", but do you always think that those in power also think?.
We say those that are there does not have the fear of God, and when a servant of God announces his call into politics, there are critics from all angles, although politics is painted as  a " dirty game", there are those that can actually transform it into a "clean affair", it is wisdom to let the righteous rule, so there will be peace, than to continue in groaning.


 Note:There is nothing like out of politics, because almost everything around us have a trait of politics, why are the youths struggling out there and the elders are ruling in there?, those who are supposed to be resting, are those working, while the youths who are supposed to be ruling are left out idle, the young shall grow they say, where are the chances of growth when the youths are not given the opportunity to take crucial impact in political issues, these leaders of ours started their political career since they were youths, why is it that they cannot at least step aside and give the youths a chance to rule, while they serve as the reservoir of knowledge and models to whom the youths will run to for advice when the need arises.
Leaders of yesterday are the leaders of today and desperately willing to be tomorrow, since childhood we sing "We are the leaders of tomorrow", when will that tomorrow be, when the leaders of today don't want to step aside.

 We must understand that: Politics is a call to duty and service to humanity, and not a call to embezzlement, until we all have this truth ringing in our brains, there will be no transformation.

Here is The Generational Transition
Call;
Let the youths rise in integrity and trust.

Let's get ready
Let's get enlightened
Let's be informed
Let's get involved
Let's have the right mindset
 Because We can, YES!!! We can
We can be the change we really want, but then start where you are right now!!!

2018 DIGEST with Aina Omowumi Adenodi

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
