Fellow Nairalanders, I am not so much a partisan politician but an observer of how our leaders loot our resources,however reading Bill Clinton's autobiograghy,"My LIfe," awakened political interest in me, I was marvelled at what he could do for his country at such a young age, before the age of 45 he has become attorney general of his state, governor of Arkansas and president of US, I looked back at our school days, the days of student unionism, NANS and all the young men who speak eloquently in student elections most of whom contributed to major changes in school policy decisions. I remembered the Ikoro Emenike Ikoro of UNIZIK and all his contemporaries and I ask, "where are they now?","have they contested or won any election?," "has any political appointment been given to them?" , what major reform have they done to mother land?," "Have they been given the chance?"," have they lost political ambition?"," has the present realities drowned their ambitions?". How do we take over Nigerian politics? Your thoughts my people.

Youths are the leaders of tomorrow in a sane country not a hell hole called Nigeria.


Most of our youth have been brainwashed, most of them prefer to lead the congregation in church/mosque to leading their state/country.

Here is one of them.

If u ask me,na who I go ask?

Soon

Nigeria's main problem is corruption and the solution is not in the hands of the present day nigerian youth. Is it not the same youth in SUGs? There is rarely any of them that are not probed for corruption after their tenures as SUG executives. I mean how many of those of us reading this comment (including the op) will not steal nigeria's money if elected to political offices?

Poor education, negative sensitization of issues, divide and rule phenomenon causing bigotry. No proper orientation programs and awareness campaigns and poor socialisation process has resulted in a youth that is so full of bigotry, low thinking individuals devoid of objective analytical Thinking.
The youth are the worst of all the issues we have. They are at the receiving end of poor admin yet do nothing but sing praises for small constructions like roads and such.
Many can't even picture an ideal Nigeria,having been sold to mental slavery.
I thank God when I see a few who aren't caught up in the web of ignorance. It leaves some measure of hope.

i don't mean to be insultive but if you don't serve God, you will serve the devil. Don't forget that the pple whose lives you want to affect positively are created by God. You can't suceed in leading them if you are not in tune with their Creator. Being in tune with their Creator can only come if you serve their Creator. That's it bro. There are no two ways to it. It is not brainwashing; it is reality.

You don't have to be addicted to church before you serve God, what matters most is your personal relationship with God. Love , respect and be faithful to God.

You just have to know what religion stands for.

yes I am, let us unseat the looters.

Which Youths

Life begins at 40 ,

nnekaregy: yes I am, let us unseat the looters.

Are you aware your people have sold their destiny, your destiny and that of the little unborn babies for peanuts, in many ways and especially by killing any alternative voice, of which you are the 170 Millionth? Are you sure your voice or the voice of the youths are needed or useful in a country where one leader ruins a country in 6 years and your fellow youths are still shouting GEJ till BokoHaram finds them and blows them out of this world? Well, the looters have paid for your land now, killed off all opposition and they don't give a damn about you youths. They will keep eating their portion, yours and the youths till thy kingdom come! Sad but true! Wait until the losers like chino, phockman, bloodybastard, onlytruth, ngozieverdumb, etc invade this thread! How dare you ask anything for the youths of a tomorrow that hardly comes? Well, newsflash: 80+ year old Bamanga Tukur is the occupant of a new position unknown to Nigerian bureaucracy until BokoHaramJonathan created it a few weeks / months ago! At 80, he is still a youth and leader of tomorrow!

No , am not for corruption.

Same way 'the youths' invaded Nigerian politics in 1966 and led us to civil war?

Most of the major actors in 1966 coup and civil war were aged between 25 and 35years old.

Aksonman: Same way 'the youths' invaded Nigerian politics in 1966 and led us to civil war?

So in your opinion, how do we change the present situation?

you painted a clearer picture of the stark reality we are in, Nigerian politicians of today have redefined ,"youth."

We still have some vibrant Students union leaders on most campuses,a party of the coalition of Nigerian youths should be a starting point,since Nigerian youths constitute the majority of the electorate.
