Nice write up by Ben Murray Bruce.
I feel this write up speaks volume about what goes on here.

some excerpts from the article;

"Months after the 2015 elections ended, Nigerian youths are still
hung up on those elections. Nowhere is this more obvious than on
social media which our youths have turned to a battle ground
divided into pro People Democratic Party (PDP) and pro All
Progressives Congress (APC) youths. So ingrained is this
animosity that each group targets elected officials and party
chieftains of the opposing parties and go after them just on the
basis of their party affiliation."

"These shenanigans makes me concerned for our youth. Where
they should be getting closer and breaking down barriers, they are
holding a candle for politicians who in reality are not as divided as
they lead these youths to believe."

" I advise youths not to look at Nigeria from a pro PDP or APC
perspective. They should see the country from a pro youth outlook.
Their future is greater than a party. Nigerian youths should not
believe and act as if the only options available to them are either
the PDP or the APC. There is a third alternative.
This third alternative is patriotism."

"Our youths need to understand that we are living in an idea age
not an insult age. It takes interdependence and interconnection to
create the atmosphere that inspires brilliant ideas. Our youths are
short circuiting this interconnection when they alienate each other."

"We really need to watch it. Nigerian youths are beginning to define
intelligence as the ability to come up with the most sophisticated
insult and criticism."

"We urgently need to redefine intelligence in
Nigeria. Mudslinging, cynicism and criticism are not acts of
intelligence. Ideas and creativity are. If you are truly intelligent, you
won’t be on Twitter lobbing insults on political opponents. Instead
you will be tweeting ideas that inspire solutions to Nigeria’s
challenges!"

Kindly get the message and don't be bothered about the messenger.

One fact that is clear is if the ruling class are as divided as the youths especially those of us on the various social media platforms, Nigeria would have imploded even before the 2015 general elections.

cashful:

Our youths are
short circuiting this interconnection when they alienate each other."

This is popular here in nairaland. Even if I suggest an unbiased, non partisan way to move the country forward, there'll still be some JOBLESS youths who'll still feel I'm being one-sided. This ought to change. Let's love ourselves and our country and try, the very best way we can, to accommodate the other person's idea.

Very true, many youth on nairaland don't understand that this is the way of the politicians.

They ain't divided like they make us to believe.
