Why don’t we use the money for parties to help our neighbours – Remi Tinubu

First lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has said that at the time the country is struggling, Nigerians should help their neighbours rather than spend money on parties.

Speaking in an interview with Arise Television, the first lady stated that people who God has blessed to consider helping the poor.

The former lawmaker also, urged those planning to relocate out of the country to reconsider their thoughts and invest their craft in Nigeria rather than a foreign country.

She said;

“Nigerians, we can help each other. The rate we are doing parties and all that, why don’t we use the money to help our neighbours until we can get on our feet.

And those are the things we have to look at. It's not that the government has to give food to everybody. I believe in social development and social investment for people who truly need it.

In the Bible, in the times of Jesus, it says the poor you will always have in the land. And it's for people who God has blessed to help the poor. But now you don’t even know who is poor. If they don’t ride a car, they will say they are poor. If you don’t have your own home, they say you are poor.

Even all those saying they are going to japa, they go there, what work are they going to do? Work that you refuse to do at home, where you have loved ones, you end up going to do that. Even with all their education, they are driving cabs.

This is a holy month, as we are fasting, I pray that God will grant all your petitions and honour your prayers and forgive you whatever sins we may have committed,” Remi Tinubu said.
