Nigerian Youths expecially those who fight religious and tribal war on social media, need to read this.

Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!!!
Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36), Effiong
(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
Representatives in 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?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?

Well, I think we need to get rid of the present generation of politicians, they are all the same with just a few exceptions. We need a new era of refined youths who will put the needs of others over theirs. Its not the solution to all the problems but its a start.

I won't blame the youths per see, I will blame our past leaders who pushed us into this hole.

Yes you are right. We've found ourself in the hole. We are not meant to remain there. The great Albert Einstein said "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level we were at when we created them ". It means I f we want to solve a problem we created at level A at, we must move to level B, as we won't be able to solve the problem of level A at level A...

And we allowed a 78year old man to be ruling us and we still expect the government to b youth friendly, what a dirty slap to the youth!!
