Bayo Adeyinka

My dear Nigerian Youth, I’m still on your case and I’m not about to relent so soon, because you represent immense potential and you sit on a gold mine, yet, you know it not. You account for at least 43% of Nigeria’s population. In other words, you are over 72 million strong. Unfortunately, what is
