The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has spoken about her experience living in the Presidential Villa, saying the environment often feels isolated.
Naijaonpoint reports that she shared this in her new memoir titled The Journey of Grace: Giving Thanks in All Things, a 52-page book released in honour of her 65th birthday.
The publication covers events between 2021 and 2025, focusing on her personal walk of faith alongside her husband’s path to the presidency.
The foreword was written by Folashade Olukoya, wife of the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
Oluremi Tinubu explained that during moments when she had little to do, she turned to her outreach through the Daughters of Zelophehad Ministries.
Through this platform, she began recording podcasts, which later grew into monthly messages directed at young women and married women.
She said that some episodes were prepared in advance and, at times, recorded with friends who shared similar values.
According to her, the initiative was a promise she made to God that if her husband became president, she would continue to guide young women.
She recalled her earlier visits to universities before 2023, where she spoke with female students seeking clarity about their future and purpose.
She said her podcast, called The Conversation, was created to be short and easy to follow, as she believed young people could lose focus quickly.
According to her, the work helped her stay active and also provided an outlet to connect with others while living in the Villa.
She said: “Life at the (Resident) Presidential Villa can be quite secluded. So getting busy when I do not have much to do, Daughters of Zelophehad Ministries came quite handy.
“Sometimes, I record episodes ahead, and some friends of like minds join some of our recordings. Scriptural things are not political, there should always be a straight line differentiating both sides.
“I had visited universities before 2023 to speak with female students at the crossroads of life trying to understand the true meaning of their purpose. The podcast, tagged The Conversation, was designed to be short and simple because our young people get distracted easily.”
