"We all go into every nook and corner of our nation to get hidden and unknown, yet very effective cure for the virus that is affordable to all which we will publicize and bring to the knowledge of all on Radio, TV, Newspapers, Social Media etc in English and in all our local languages. Any effective discovery for the cure will be given out to the poor at very cheap rate or free where necessary.

"This is a wake-up call for all our youths in Nigeria and a challenge for them to be impactful and to take charge for God and the people and be a genuine problem solver not by insulting, abusing and judging any group or person or government.

"Our driven objective is.... What can we do as youths of Nigeria to play our part, to bring solutions that is permanent to the current corona virus plaque. Another very deadly plaque has been predicted will come after corona virus, l want the youths to join hands together with me and other Mothers in the land to combat the current corona virus. We should not leave the problem for the government alone to solve for us.

"We invite youths from the North and South to volunteer their services".
