Shehu Sani Writes Message to Future Generations on War and Hardship
On Monday, former Kaduna State senator Shehu Sani shared a reflective message directed at future generations, calling the present era one of struggle, war, and hardship.
In a post on his Facebook page, Sani reached out to the people of the distant year 2099, writing as though he were speaking across generations.
“Hello, the people of 2099,” he began, expressing an understanding that he and his contemporaries will not be there to witness the future or to know the challenges and triumphs of the next century.
His message captured the uncertainties and struggles of the current generation while acknowledging that no one can predict whether future times will be kinder or harsher.
“Our time is a time of war and hardships,” he wrote, reflecting the difficult social, economic, and political environment facing many today.
In a somber yet hopeful tone, Sani asked that, if future generations ever come across his or his peers’ graves, they pause to remove the grasses and say a prayer for those who endured these hardships.
He added, however, that he isn’t sure if people of the future will even remember or have time to think of those from the past.
Sani concluded with an affectionate farewell, imagining himself speaking from “the peace of Heaven,” and reminded readers that the essence of his time could still be discovered through the digital footprints and writings left behind.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
