#WithChude

On this episode, Reuben Abati, former spokesperson to a president who also dealt with popular uprising, Goodluck Jonathan, grants a very instructive interview about how transient power is and what he learnt working for the former president, he hasn’t been this personal about his time in Aso Rock in any conversation before this. 

No one can ever say in this life that a thing can't change, or a young person's voice can matter. The thing about change is that we never know when, where, how. But change is always one more step away. The cynical never make change happen.

Right now, in the midst of #EndSARS, young Nigerians are speaking their truth. But it didn't start today. It started from the time when those oppressed in the past didn't stop speaking their truth.

Life is not about you, that means we are all in this together, you are not alone. It is also about you because whatever actions/decisions you make, you take responsibility for them. 

Most of us already know what to do with our lives - the jobs to quit, relationships to let go of - we are only looking for someone to give us permission to do them. We always need people in our lives who validate us.

No one is entitled to listen to you nor take your advice. Allow them choose. Allow them make their mistakes. Even if you turn out right, your job is to help them generate enough positive energy to move past their mistakes.

Your values are yours. When we come together, we need to have a common ethic. The best ethic to have is the ethic of love.

Everyone has experienced failure in life. It is garbage to say 'failure is not an option'. Don't plan to fail, but know that you can fail, so when it comes, it doesn't catch you off guard. Your best alternative when it comes is to keep it moving.
