As for those who collect money on election day and still vote for leaders you are perpetuating evil and will face moral judgment’

He explained that leadership is not about position, but about taking responsibility and solving problems and encouraged students to volunteer, speak up,develop themselves, and add more female leaders to the world who add value.
‘I will give you tips you will use which i call The Three Firewood, leadership, confidence, and economic empowerment, as students should not wait to be chosen you can lead wherever you are, be confident, be prepared, so as to have economic power classified as degree plus hustle. If your espace out is to marry a rich man, cancel it because it makes you indirectly disrespected by men in the society’
