Arise O Compatriots by Acutex: 9:42pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!!!
Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36),
Effiong (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 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 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?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? Copied from Facebook |
