First Lady Remi Tinubu Advises Nigerian Youths on Contentment and Hard Work
During a meeting with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Wing at the State House in Abuja, First Lady Remi Tinubu urged Nigerian youths to work hard, practice patience, and uphold integrity as keys to success.
She noted that many young people rush through life without realizing that God already knows their needs. “God always knows our needs, and that is what the young people do not know; they are always in a hurry,” she said.
The First Lady emphasized the importance of learning contentment and avoiding a beggarly attitude. “I am teaching you how to learn contentment and not be beggarly,” she added.
Using the eagle as a metaphor, she encouraged youths to develop resilience and chart their own courses. “You have to have the Eagle’s mentality. When the Eagle sees the storm, he laughs at it and sees how he can fly above it. That is what you should all do. You should always look for your own path and not simply copy what others have,” she explained.
Senator Tinubu also praised the APC youth leadership for their unity and grassroots efforts, urging them to continue promoting the achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. “As one of the arms of the ruling party, with a mandate to carry the banner of the Renewed Hope Agenda, its members and leaders must show resilience and deep commitment to a tomorrow built on hope,” she stated.
To further support the youth wing’s operations, the First Lady presented nine buses to the APC National Youth Leader, Deputy National Youth Leader, zonal leaders, and the Federal Capital Territory leadership. The vehicles are intended for use during party activities and community service.
