Where Did We Go Wrong? Wake Up Nigerian Youths by ikevictor22(m): 2:25pm On Jan 27, 2015
WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?
WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS
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 (27), 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 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, 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 political offices?
Why is it that this age bracket is today
incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions?
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?
