Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has advised the Nigerian youth to remain focused in all they do and not to remain where they are dropped.
Obi, who spoke at a conference organised by the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria, Nnewi Diocese, at the Okofia, Nnewi campus of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, urged Nigerian youths not to lose focus no matter the distractions that confront them in their quest for success. He disclosed that in spite of the fact that people called him names in an attempt to force him to recklessly share Anambra State’s funds when he was in office as governor, he refused and stayed focused in delivering dividends of democracy to the people.
He noted that a committed man should not be interested in making few friends happy but rather remain focused on doing what is right and beneficial to the entire society.
Obi advised youths not to allow themselves to be used by politicians, noting that some of them send their children to schools abroad and remain at home looking for youths to use as thugs.
Speaking after the conference, the chaplain, Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria, Nnewi Diocese, Rev. Fr. Chetanna Jude Chukwuneke, said the programme was fulfilling, noting that it was designed to inculcate positive values on the youth through words of wisdom from men of proven integrity.

In sane climates he would be fast tracked as a presidential candidate but here everything is based on ethnicity so 2019 is not yet his "time" according to certain sections.

Un42n8ly you're right. As qualified and meritorious as he is, he can't be president yet simply because he's igbo. Is that not ridiculous?
Who is to blame? His Biafra chanting people.

Until igbos start reinstitutionalising themselves with the idea of Country over tribe, only then will they be trusted with the number one office.

Why do you youths have sudden amnesia when it comes to these politicians?

GioArmani:
How about the ipod developers in Asian prisions? Have they lost focus?

he's talking to you skull miners...stop your skull mining and focus on Nigeria or you're population will finish on skull mining

Please nwannem, don't be short sighted.
Igbo youth of today have lost focus of what life is actually about.

The mod that removed my comment must have gone blind when he scrolled down. As usual, our drug dealing whiners must have ran to the mods.

Someone might as well mine your skull because I doubt anything is filling its cavity. Waste of space.

igbo youths are doing better than any other youths in Nigeria.

Come down to the east and see the level of work youths do here..you'll feel lazy by having just one job.

The competition down here is so fierce. That's why other tribes can't survive here

Politicians send their kids aboard to study and turn the youths at home to political thugs. The time is here,it won't be too long.Nigeria will be great again.

They're doing better indeed. Are they done developing Nigeria? Is that why they're developing Asian prisons?

mehn, it took you this long to come up with this? Boy, you're slow.

If we do a tribal count on those prisoners am sure Afonjas has a sizable number. But ignorance won't let you think straight

Peter Obi is our son. He's our political thuggish son.

Nice try bro......
Even your fellow osus will smack you down for this lie, but kontinu.

Its really amazing hown someone makes a good comment to youths and tries to encourage them... while some people take it as their todays goal to bring the person down...

Take the advice even if you dont agree with the person or you leave it for the next person to... and move along..

Obi made valid points to those youths who dont seek beyond what they see

Come down where?
Majority of Igbo youth are not even in the SE. I've been living outside SE since the age of 14. First in Ibadan, then Akure then Lagos.
Competition might look tough in the South East, but that is only because of lack of resources, which causes more fierce fight for th little available.
All youth of different tribes in Naija have their career paths, and ours is mostly mobile trade.

Don't lose focus - Peter Obi
We don't have focus let alone losing it - Nigerian Youths
