I saw this writeup and I thought it wise to share it here.

WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36) Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh (27),Enahoro was (27) when they led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay.Only Zik was 42 at the time. In 1966, the first coup was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu at the age of (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed, age(28). Theophilus Danjuma was (28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23) and effort brought into power Sir Yakubu Gowon who was (32) the time, Odumegwu Ojukwu (33), Olusegun Obasanjo (29), Muhammadu Buhari (24). Most of the military administrators who Governed the States under the successive military regimes, many of whom are Governors now, were under 30 years. The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military regimes also saw the House of Representatives in particular populated by majority of members under 30 years as well as some senators Under 30s were also not in short supply with appointments, we have the examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth. NOW; Why is it that this age bracket is today still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes? Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting pocket money from their parents? Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB? Why is it that this age bracket is today still sagging their trousers? Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs and many not yet married? Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of Political Parties? Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile? Why is it that this age bracket is today still incapable of feeding itself? Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain politicaloffices? Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions even from the so called leaders?
please we the youths need to wake up to our task and act quickly or else we will continue like this.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!
