Old Tambuwal Out. New Tambuwal In

Suddenly, a youth wing of, emmm, youths have begun whipping up support for the youthful Aminu Tambuwal as a viable alternative for President. They wish other youths to board this wagon, latch unto this drive and make it a reality as he has what it takes to deliver where others have failed. And they're running this on the platform of the opposition party, the APC.

I doubt the credentials of the character of someone as shifty as Tambuwal. And this current "politics of convenience" doesn't bode us any good. It has become convenient now for anti-PDP stalwarts to prop up a previously staunch PDP henchman for no other reason but his cross-carpeting, due, largely, to selfish ambitions? And suddenly, he's what? The Messiah? Please!

If he'd had moral grounds or clash of principles and values as the bases for defecting, that'll have been considered in a different light. But we know concepts like MORALS, VALUES, PRINCIPLES are anathema for these folks.

As an alleged "youth" I'd be doing myself a disservice allowing such characters as Tambuwal lay any claim to represent me. I speak for myself. He doesn't have that mandate. He doesn't qualify. He failed.

Parenting the Digital Adolescent

For adolescents who ace the use of digital devices in today's rapidly evolving tech space, the dangers of being victims of perverse adults and twisted peers is exponential. Caution for everyone responsible for their growth and development is paramount.

There are several key duties expected of those in charge of these adolescents. Monitor their use of digital tech all the time. Observe enough to notice behavioural changes. Do not hesitate to apply the rod. Explain plainly what right and wrong is with clear examples of why one is right and another wrong. Above all, let them know they're always free to come to you with any Any ANY issues or problems whatsoever.

And don't forget to pray for God's wisdom on you and your adolescent and for the light to guide them aright. Pray for them daily. May God help us raise children who will make us proud in an age where the very moral fibre of society is threatened.
