PRESIDENT TINUBU CONDOLES WITH FAMILY OF LEGENDARY SUPER EAGLES MIDFIELDER HENRY NWOSU

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends his heartfelt condolences to the family of Henry Onyemanze Nwosu, a legendary Nigeria national football team midfielder, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 62.

President Tinubu joins the Nigerian football community in mourning the exceptionally skilled Nwosu, whose football artistry remains the stuff of legend.

The President recalls Nwosu’s brilliance on the field as a 17-year-old member of the then-Green Eagles squad that won the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations.

President Tinubu also acknowledges Nwosu’s more than a decade of service to the nation as a member of the national football team, his participation in subsequent AFCON tournaments in 1982 Africa Cup of Nations, 1984 Africa Cup of Nations, and 1988 Africa Cup of Nations, as well as his contributions to sports development in Nigeria.

The President notes that Nigerians will always remember the late playmaker for the pride and joy he brought to the nation and for inspiring many compatriots to greater accomplishments.

President Tinubu prays for the repose of Nwosu’s soul and comfort for his family.

Creativity is not a gift reserved for a few extraordinary people. It is a spark that lives inside every single one of us. The difference between those who create and those who don’t is not talent—it’s courage. Courage to start. Courage to try. Courage to keep going even when the path feels uncertain.

Every great idea in history began as something fragile—a thought, a sketch, a sentence, a question. Before it changed the world, it looked small. It looked imperfect. And many times, it looked impossible. But someone believed in it enough to keep working on it.

Creativity thrives when you allow yourself to be curious. Ask questions. Explore strange ideas. Let yourself make mistakes. Remember that mistakes are not failures—they are experiments. Every attempt teaches you something new, and every new lesson shapes the next idea.

Don’t wait for the “perfect moment” to create. There will always be distractions, doubts, and reasons to postpone your ideas. The perfect moment is the moment you decide to begin.

Your creativity is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. Write even when the words feel clumsy. Draw even when the lines feel wrong. Build even when the design feels unfinished. Progress grows from practice, not perfection.

And most importantly, believe that your ideas matter. The world moves forward because someone dared to imagine something different. Your perspective, your experiences, your thoughts—no one else has them in the same way you do.

So take the risk. Follow the idea that excites you. Create something that didn’t exist yesterday.

Because creativity isn’t just about making things.

It’s about **making possibilities real.** ✨
