AYODELE OLAWANDE’S ACHIEVEMENTS THROUGH DEMURE CHARACTER AND OMOLÚÀBÍLISM.
By Oluwasegun John Daodu
On the 6th day of March, I read about the visit of the Minister of Youth of Nigeria to the President of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR in seeking for the support of the president, on some projects to be implemented for the youths in the country.
However, I was caught by is act thou this not his first am seeing but seems this had become part of is character from the foundation.
Yoruba believes in respecting elders, colleagues and even younger ones, reasons proverbs like ‘ omo tó bá mowó wè, á bá àgbà jeun.’
They call the child omolúàbí.
Thus, that a child who knows how to relate with the elders respectfully will dine and wine with them.
Hon Ayo wisdom popularly called; had been showing the youth the ‘we can’ ability and for the youths to feel and touch the government.
Some of is visions and achievement he had done, since he was nominated as state Minister of youth year 2024; till he became the minister for youths, are majorly in 4 categories.
Which are the Support, Empowerment, Partnership and Protection of youths across the country.
…….
1. NIYA.
2. Implementation of National Youth Policy.
3. NYSC Posting Directive.
4. Nigeria Youth Bank.
5. Youth House initiative.
6. Youth employability Action Plan.
7. DL4ALL.
8. Nigeria Youth Help Desk.
9. YEIA.
10. Nigeria Youth investment fund.
11. Partnership with agencies and ministries for the development of our youths.
12. National Youth Intenship Programme.
13. YEIDEP. e.t.c.
Youths should await for the CNG tricycle Empowerment and the first of it’s kind
Youth confab in Nigeria, the voice of the youths will be heard loudly.
Joy is coming.
Furthermore, I believe his demure nature had taken him to this level, paving the way for him as the minister, I pray he succeeds and to remind him, he is the image of ‘we youths’ and should keep the fire burning because Hope 93 of late MKO ABIOLA had been renewed in this renewed hope government of His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the youths across the six geopolitical zone of Nigeria are expecting more while I appreciate what he is doing presently.
His demure character and omolúàbílism should be studied in getting what he wants.
This had worked severally for him like when he wanted to become the Ondo State APC Youth leader and he emerged years back.
I can say, humility had been it’s nature because I had experienced it personally, the next time I will be seeing him, am making sure I will be more demure in nature with my omolúàbílism.
Conclusively, I am appealing to the youths across the country to key in this projects and his wonderful team to keep the fire burning as we are Oliver twist in nature.
Am sure from the testimony hearing in the country around, I will share mine soon.
Thanks for your commitment and service Honourable Ayodele Olawande, the Honourable Minister of Youth Development Nigeria.
We want more, you’re giving us more. “Thank You My Minister, Their Minister And Our Minister.”
