Character: A Charge to Maximizing your ‘SELF’ for Global Impacts
By Tolulope Adegoke
“The word ‘SELF’ connotes: Sharing with Everyone, Loving unconditionally, and Finding peace in your old age.
Your ‘SELF’ is what makes you or mar you. it is up to you to decide what to do with your ‘SELF’”. – Tolulope A. Adegoke
If you do not think about the future, you may not have a brighter one.
If you cannot take a major step, you cannot have a future.
It is you acting deliberately in line with your goals.
Character is who you are when no one is watching. Charm is a woman’s strength, while strength is a man’s charm
Our job is not to see through one another, but to see one another through.
One of the most difficult thing to give away is kindness, because it is like a baton which usually return in unexpected manners.
When we hurt, there is no sweeter revenge than to forgive.
For every minute of anger, it is said that sixty (60) seconds of happiness is lost.
So, why worry? Chances make our parents, but choices make our friends.
Although, our tongues weigh practically nothing,
But how come so few a people can bridle it.
If you need a position, you must be positioned enough to have a mission.
If you need to fulfil your mission, you must have a clear vision.
Refuel your vision, through meditation for rejuvenation and revitalization.
To arrive at your mission, you must embrace stable or consistent submission.
If you must achieve your vision, then you must suspend the television for a while.
If you desire to be on the television, you must avoid the television as an addiction.
The height of your position is determined by the visions that you are exposed to.
And to have acute breakthroughs, you must actively breakthrough in your thoughts and in your words (and works).
One major thing that must break for you to go through is the ‘SELF’ in you…
The word ‘SELF’ connotes:
Sharing with Everyone, Loving unconditionally, and Finding peace in your old age.
Your ‘SELF’ is what makes you or mar you. it is up to you to decide what to do with your ‘SELF’.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has been buried in the garden of his residence in Daura, Katsina state.
The body of the late president was interred after funeral prayers were held at a helipad near his country home on Tuesday.
Buhari was buried in a spot where he usually sat in his compound’s garden when he was alive.
Military pallbearers wheeled Buhari’s body, draped in the colours of the Nigerian flag, to the graveside in a trolley. Gunshots were fired as a mark of respect for the former president and commander-in-chief.
The Prime Minister of Niger, Ali Lamine Zeine, was present at the graveside alongside President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, and former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, among others.
Earlier, Tinubu received Buhari’s remains at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport in Katsina.
The late president passed away on Sunday, July 13, in a hospital in London, United Kingdom (UK), following a prolonged illness.

Letter of Condolence to the Family of Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari
I, the Honourable Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, CON, wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Nigeria, especially the Buhari family, on the passing of our esteemed former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, who departed us today.
The Ministry of Police Affairs and the entire Police Ecosystem share in this moment of grief and sorrow with the family, the people of Nigeria, and the nation at large. In honoring a statesman of such stature, we acknowledge the profound contributions he made to our country and the lasting impact of his leadership.
The loss of a true leader and dedicated servant to our nation deeply saddens us all. His legacy will endure through his unwavering dedication and tireless efforts to serve Nigeria. Notably, his foresight in prioritizing national security led to the re-establishment of the Ministry of Police Affairs as a dedicated entity to address the needs of the Police Ecosystem. He also approved vital funding for fuel supplies for police operational vehicles across the country, demonstrating his commitment to enhancing our security infrastructure.
This is indeed a profound loss for Nigeria. Buhari’s commitment to public service and his unwavering dedication to the security sector will always be remembered and cherished.
Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of a distinguished statesman who served with honor and integrity. May his spirit of leadership continue to inspire generations to come.
During this difficult time, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all Nigerians. His remarkable contributions to our nation will never be forgotten.
May his soul rest in peace.
