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
(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 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!"

Ask APC they will tell you GEJ

In those days education was a privilege and only a few, that had it were put front by their communities, for these positions immediately after independence the few that studied outside Nigeria and had direct experience with colonial masters where chosen as the link between Nigeria and the then colonist masters. nowadays we have a lot of people that have been exposed, a lot of people that have travelled far and wide at even more tender ages- we have so many people that want to arrest power because they were not fortunate to arrest power because they did not belong to that class - pius anyims, the david marks, most of the old aged governors the list of them are endless

What do we then do? With the likes of Joseph Mbu (AIG) out of control- you try and protest- erhn he would have killed you before he starts to consider the implication or is it uncle Joe- who would set up a committee after another committee before your case is heard - in my submission, we have to change those in power as frequently as possible until we get that right person into office- which brings to bear this question, how can nigeria be changed is it from the masses or from the leaders- my submission from the top* because if you try it from the bottom heads will roll-

They can't - even if they profess to do so, they are in it for the business of profit- and consistency they need something more permanent- and they need money to flex, continue to live life large, people that change the world are not normally people you see on screen everyday or the red carpet wearing the latest design tops and pants- they are the conservative in house people, people that don't play 2 roles - the entertainers are just in it to see what they can rip out before they also become a paragraph in a novel- trust me, when you see a honest sincere person you would definitely know-
