MESSAGE TO YOUNG PERSONS BY BIGBLUNT OF JOS

DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE.

I know you must have heard this but I am happy to remind you again; you were born to win but you should know that you can only win with passion, hard work and discipline (keyword: discipline), and not pride or arrogance. 

In my experience  of working as a Bar man, Okada man, class teacher (precisely primary  2),  online and walk-in customer agent and now a Broadcaster I have learnt alot, being people-centric jobs that are stressful and require discipline and professionalism. I have seen, met, heard and experienced  a lot and I understand  that Rome wasn't built  in a day. It was a project of hardwork, dedication and passion. 

Interestingly, when  you see young people these days, especially in this creative industry, one begins  to wonder what orientation is given to them in school. There is absence of discipline  and passion. As if that is not enough, you see high rate of illogical reasoning, desperate steps and self destructive ideologies that leave them hopping from one place to another with  no result show. 

Young people want to make it but do not have the ingredients that will make them get to their  destination. They are clogged in the wheels of multiple dreams with indefinite focus. They display erosive arrogance, poor understanding of service and palpable lack of patience to grow up slowly. You cannot aspire to establish yourself and have people work under you when you lack the understanding of teamwork and working under others to build supervisory skills. Jumping from job to another  in the name of hussle without a clear cut focus is not hussle. It is tussle against yourself. It is lack of ambition laced with laziness and impatience.  Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you can't change your job. You can do it with honour and reasonableness 

I have learnt  the act of patience amidst  turbulence. In the process, I have passionately built myself for what I want to be both in leadership and followership. This has paid off in different  ways.

I just want you know that it is green out there but are you ready to submit and be patient? Be ready to plough and plant passionately. Be ready to accommodate and learn. If you cultivate these virtues and more, then you are headed in the right direction

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with...
