1. There is God and there is the force of darkness you must attach yourself to God for He alone makes and adds no sorrow.
2. Know that no one holds your destiny of a fulfilled dream but you and its dependent on your never giving up.
3. When you speak and they try to hold you back, do not let them keep you from speaking believe me you will be heard.
4. The status quo will always want to maintain her status but know that the status as it is will never give you or our nation the desired progress, so when you innovate they will try to stop you, push until that negative gives way.
5. No one owes you anything not even your parent or country but you owe her everything, it will take us to get what we want from Nigeria.
6.Our greatest bane will not just be not pursuing knowledge but not applying same. The richest man and countries are knowledge-driven.
7. We complain a lot about our democracy but we also allow ourselves to be used to perpetrate acts against the same democracy we speak about. The only way to advance our democratic process is via active participation, orientation, networking and mass mobilization.
8. Support your fellow youths in every way possible, politically, economically and socially. There's nothing a supportive and united youth force will not achieve.
9. Shun social vices and ensure to participate in governance, join a group, meet and discuss and learn to sacrifice.
10. Study and know the history of your village,ethnic conclave and state. Add your own voice/page to that history.
11. Respect elders, ask them questions and Iearn from them  don't let them deprive or use you.
12. Don't let myopic thoughts and primordial sentiments affect your sense of judgement.
Thanks and God bless you!
