Our expectations in 2022

Dear children, Aunty Yemi is very excited and at the same time full of gratitude to God for sparing your lives to witness the beginning of another year. I enjoyed our time together last. The good thing about it is that you were reading this column and I felt very happy. Likewise, I believe you too gained one or more things from the column. As the year has begun, I pray that it shall be a prosperous one for you and family. I wish you success in all you lay your hands on. Love from Aunty Yemi.

My expectations in the New Year are: prices of goods and services be reduced; youths and the unemployed get jobs easily and poverty will be reduced to the minimum level.  I am also looking forward to people taking joy in helping and caring for others. Our roads should be in good condition. I am hopeful that  God will change Nigeria for the better.

Our hospitals be more equipped and petroleum should not be expensive. Nigeria will be a better country to live in as we have begun a new year.
