A Cry From The Streets: The Plight Of Nigeria's Youth In A Nation On The Brink by Legitbeauru: 7:50am On May 02
Nigeria's youth stare into a future choked by hardship. The air is thick with the stench of corruption, suffocating their dreams and aspirations. Fuel prices skyrocket, essential food items like Garri become luxuries, and perpetual blackouts swallow entire days, leaving a gnawing despair in their wake.

Where are the voices of this generation? Why the deafening silence in the face of such blatant disregard for their well-being? The sight of students stranded on roadsides, their education dreams dashed by a lack of transportation, is a stark symbol of a broken system. This isn't an anomaly; it's a symptom of a nation held hostage by its own leaders.

Are we condemned to this endless cycle of suffering under leaders who seem blind to the pain they inflict? The hardship isn't confined to bustling cities. In rural areas, survival becomes a daily fight against rising prices and dwindling resources. The basic necessities that once sustained families now demand backbreaking sums, pushing even Garri, a staple food, beyond reach.

President Tinubu, entrusted with serving the people, seems content to captain a sinking ship, deaf to the cries of his constituents. His inaction perpetuates the suffering and tests the patience of a people pushed to the edge. Billions vanish into the pockets of the elite, leaving the masses to scramble for scraps in a landscape devoid of hope.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), designed to be a watchdog against rampant graft, appears toothless. High-profile corruption cases languish, shrouded in a cloak of impunity. The stench of corruption hangs heavy, a constant reminder of a system rigged against the very people it should serve.

But amidst this suffocating despair, a flicker of hope remains. Nigeria's youth, the supposed vanguard of change, cannot remain silent. Silence is complicity, and inaction empowers the forces that oppress them. It's time to reclaim their destiny, to demand a government that serves, not exploits.

President Tinubu, and those like him, must be held accountable for their failures. The time for change is now, before we resign ourselves to a future defined by hardship and despair. In unity, there is strength. Let the youth stand together, raise their voices, and forge a new path for Nigeria, one built on the bedrock of justice, equality, and progress. The very future of the nation hangs in the balance. This is not just a plea, it's a call to action. The Nigerian youth must rise up, break the chains of corruption, and build a nation that truly serves its people.

Nigeria youths should start their seriousness by recalling their federal representative members, Senators and HOR's..

Let their charity begins from constituency, after all those are the people nodding head to whatever policy the presidency bring
