I'm sharing this because it is thought-provoking..
"My Dear Nigerian Youths", by Prof. Isa.
I am very angry and that is why I am addressing
you.
You are the source of my anger and I want to
vent my spleen- maybe not at you directly- but at
the arrogance of your ignorance.
You sit in front of a computer and rant all day
through social media but with every click, you
make money - not for yourself - but for Mark
Zuckerberg (Facebook).
With every megabyte of data you spend
complaining and maligning, you make stupendous
bucks for Etisalat, Glo and Airtel.
Over the next two years, the number of Nigerian
millionaires will jump by 47% but most likely you
will not be among because you are too busy
whining and complaining. And yet about 60% of
Nigeria’s 170m population are below 35 years.
Oh, what a waste! By the way, Mark Zuckerberg
was 19 when he started Facebook.
Africa’s youngest billionaire, Ashish Thakkar, is
31. He escaped from the Rwandan genocide and
relocated to Uganda where he started an IT
business.
Collin Thornton, who made his millions by fixing
bad computers and setting up Dial-a-Nerd, is 35.
Adam Horowitz, an 18-year-old entrepreneur,
started 30 websites in 3 years before he became
successful.
The only thing you have ever started is an online
petition. Have you heard of Jason Njoku? He’s 33
and the founder of Iroko TV. He received $8m
investment into his company just a few years
ago. What he does? Sharing the same Nollywood
films that you spend hours to watch online. He
didn’t just hang around waiting for Buhari to
make something happen or blaming Jonathan for
not making anything happen.
Kamal Budhabhatti was deported from Kenya but
while on the flight, he thought of the
opportunities in Kenya. He found his way back
after 6 months and today his company is valued
at $30m. He’s 36.
Have you heard of Chinedu Echeruo? Apple just
paid $1b for his app. He’s a Nigerian like you and
all he did was attempt to fix a problem. But for
you, the only thing you attempt to fix are your
nails- and your hairdo! Chinedu moved to New
York in 1995 and found it difficult to navigate the
city with ease so he developed HopStop to fix
the problem.
Stop listing all the problems - we know them
already but what are you doing about them?
Awolowo was 37, Akintola was 36, Ahmadu Bello
was 36, Tafawa Balewa was 34, Okotie-Eboh was
27 and Enahoro was 27 at the time of
independence of Nigeria.
In 1966, the first coup was led by Kaduna
Nzeogwu (29) and stopped by Murtala
Mohammed (28), TY Danjuma (28), IBB (25),
Sanni Abacha (23) and Shehu Yar'adua (23).
It brought in Yakubu Gowon as Head of State at
32 and Olusegun Obasanjo at 29.
You are in your 40s and you still sag your
trousers.
Of course, you know Linda Ikeji. You’ve spent
hundreds of hours on her blog laughing and
commenting while she smiles her way to the
bank.
She’s just built a house for her father in the
village- just by you clicking on her gossip and
sharing.
Your day is not complete without a stop by at
her blog. She was as broke as you are but she
turned a hobby into a business.
Are you that void of understanding?
You think those politicians have any regard for
you?
That is why I referred to the arrogance of your
ignorance at the beginning of this diatribe.
You have a false estimation of yourself. You
have an over bloated ego.
You are only as good as an election ticket - pure
and simple. You are only good to be used and
discarded like a used ballot paper. Who keeps a
used ballot paper anyway? That is why they only
remember you every four years.

Team Nigeria Won the 8th Gold Today..

Another day, another GOLD medal for Team Nigeria with Josephine Orji continuing the country’s impressive outing so far, breaking the World Record to win women’s +86kg Powerlifting at the Rio 2016 Paralympics.

It was a one-side show for Orji who was more or less competing against herself, completely dominating her other competitors to win with a WR mark of 156kg.

without us they are HOPELESS! grin

mrkayusfit:
Biafra must never come. I'm afraid that Biafra will be developed in few years if declared. They are technologically sound and we need their expertise to build Nigeria. We must all stand against biafra. We are Nigerians first before been our tribes. Lord luggard saw a potential in us before merging us together. The only way to kill biafra agitations is to keep Nnamdi kanu locked up. As for Soyinka, he is a disgrace to we yorubas. No sane yoruba man will be pro biafra. One nigeria till death do us apart sad

Them for kukuma tell us say na only Igbos. This is the spirit of Igbos, even the disabled ones fight so hard to make a living instead of begging in the streets.

Truth be told, we are the face of Nigeria. Zik was the first, Ironsi was the first, Chioma Ajunwa was the first.
