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.
