Jimoh’s tonic: Books fuel greatness; critical thinking drives it, not borrowed routes and shortcuts
In the heart of Ondo South, where the waves of the Atlantic kiss the shores and the cocoa and palm trees whisper resilience, the youth stand at a crossroads. The choice is clear: either chase shortcuts that lead to dead ends or embrace the long, disciplined road of knowledge and critical thinking but the truth is simple: greatness is never found in imitation. It is built through discipline, knowledge, and the courage to think critically about the future.
Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, captured this reality when he was charging his media team, he said: “We simply picked up a fake destiny from the praxis of others. We neglected our beautiful road map to success all for a short cut… Success is not arranged to happen when you are far from it.” His words challenge youth to stop chasing shadows and start building their own paths.
Senator Ibrahim reminds us that help will come when our intentions are pure, but lasting success flows only when it is “fuelled by critical educational thinking and not short cut to dead ends.” He also challenges youth directly: “Since you left school, how many books have you finished reading! You are simply an author to yourself that need no book to read.” This is a wake‑up call to every young person in Ondo South: without books, without learning, we cannot expect success to simply fall into our laps.
Jimoh Ibrahim himself is proof of what discipline and vision can achieve. He is not only a politician but also a businessman and thinker whose words inspire action. His message is clear — employment is not just in Customs or Immigration, but in the fertile minds of those who dare to create.
Youth of Ondo South, the future is ours to shape. Do not let us be authors of empty pages. Do not chase shortcuts when the long road of knowledge is open before you. Books fuel greatness, critical thinking drives it, and shortcuts destroy it. Let Mandela’s long walk inspire you, and let Senator Ibrahim’s words guide you.
Your destiny is not borrowed; it is built. Pick up a book today, think critically, and walk boldly into greatness. Good morning Aseyori people of Ondo South ❤️🌹❤️
