The UK just concluded her Parliamentary election, records were set and broken, ranging from four Nigerians winning seats to a 20 years old student also winning a seat, this stories are touching but at the same time they are things we should learn from.
My real emphasis on this topic is the 20 years old student winning a seat in Parliament, now my question is would our system allow for such?? don't you think the youths are being "handicapped"??
I opened this thread to get contributions from well meaning Nigerian youths, it is time to hold our government so they can be accountable, let's not be used as tugs again while there children are studying in abroad, if Nigeria gets better or worse we youths will bear the pain or eat the good.
Its a call to reawakening, let's stand up and force our lawmakers make laws that favour the masses not their pocket, let's stop being used by our leaders to stir ethnic conflict and kill ourselves while they din and eat together, enough is enough

drop your comments, what is the way forward for the youths

.

Nigerian youths have to first of all yearn for greatness and stop being instruments in the hands of politicians for as low as N2,000.

How many young men in their 20's would look in the eyes of politicians and say 'you can't buy my vote'? There goes your answer! Blame poverty all you want, but you know our youths have sold their souls and only miracle can make them stand for what is right!

in your opinion, how best can this awakening start, what can be done or is it irreparable

Only the youth can set themselves free. They can't keep allowing the politicians use them while shielding their own children. The youths need to start comparing themselves to the positive aspects of western culture and not the ghetto lifestyles that are being imported. They need to learn to say NO to the politicians.

All the youth should be asking from Buhari is Eletricity, with that in place, jobs will be springing up and unemployment will be greatly reduced.

To add to royalcatier's comment, the youths need to realise that the politicians see no difference between themselves, whether they are Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, igbira, ijaw, they are all for one Nigeria. They hardly have religious issues too.

They use tribalism, religion, and illiteracy, as tools to divide and conquer the youth because they shift the blame of our suffering from themselves and point to the northerners, when in all honesty, the average northerner is even more depraved of any presence of government.

We need to unite and stop all this tribalism and religious intolerance. Our churches and mosques are also the tools of the elite.

The only division line in Nigeria is between the rich and the poor.

The sooner the youths realise this, the better.

On point!
