Where Did We Go Wrong? Wake Up Nigeria Youth. by brightlomo(m): 11:54am On Aug 18, 2014 |
I remem these people and there age. Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36) Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh (27), Enahoro (27) 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 (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23), and brought into power Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29), Buhari (24). Most of the military administrators who governed the states under the successive military regimes, most of whom are governors now, were under 30 years. The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the House of Representativesin 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 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 2day still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes? Why is it that this age bracket is 2day still collecting pocket money from their parents? Why is it that this age bracket is 2day still writing JAMB? Why is it that this age bracket is 2day still sagging their trousers? Why is it that this age bracket is 2day still searching for jobs, 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 2day so docile? Why is it that this age bracket is 2day still incapable of feeding itself? Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices? Why is it dat this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking question GOD BLESS NIGERIA. Pls support any youth in d 2015 generally election. |
