#LazyNigerianYouths: Obasanjo Replies Buhari

One time president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday, April 28 was amazed on how Nigerian youths could be described as being lazy with all the challenges they face daily due to bad governance.

Obasanjo stated that even the great grandfathers of Nigerian youths would never go as far as President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly did to dub Nigerian youths as being lazy.

President Buhari allegedly made the comment during a recent trip to United Kingdom at the Heads of Commonwealth summit in London.

But Obasanjo, who spoke in Ibadan when the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) held a Town Hall meeting in the Oyo State capital, wondered how Nigerian youths could be said to be lazy despite what they go through in the Sahara Desert, Libya and the Mediterranean Sea.

He said, “But let me assure you of one thing. Having gone this far, I will not leave you high and dry, and I know God will continue to be with us. But don’t ever think that it will be easy. Men of valour don’t run away from challenges and it is the same thing with women of honour, except lazy men and women. But they said our youths are lazy.

“Recently, I was in the United States and I said our youths have gone through many things in the Sahara Desert, in Libya and the Mediterranean, and somebody would say they are lazy; their great grandfathers would never try to go that far”.

The former president urged members of the movement not to be cowed or allow themselves to be discouraged saying that “they will try to intimidate you individually or collectively. For me, I don’t think there is anyone that can intimidate me. Let me remind you, I have gone through many things. I have been jailed without committing any offence. Where is the person that jailed me?”

At the Town Hall meeting, CNM said that it would at the right time direct more than three million of its members to the platform it would use in the forthcoming general elections.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
