~~~Prof. Wole Soyinka says,
'WHERE DID WE
GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN
YOUTHS!'~~~
"Awolowo was 37 years,
Akintola 36, Ahmadu
Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh
27 and
Enahoro 27 and they led the
struggle for
Nigeria Independence after the
death of
Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the
time!
In 1966, the first military coup
was led by K
Nzeogwu who was 29 years
and countered by
M. Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma
28, I.
Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani
Abacha 23,
and M. Yar'adua 23, and
brought into power Y.
Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33,
Obasanjo 29, and
Buhari 24!
Most of the military governors
who governed
the states under the successive
military
regimes were under 30 years.
Also, the brief democratic
dispensation which
interjected the military
interregnums also saw
some Senators and members of
the House of
Representatives, in particular,
populated by
persons under 30!
Under 30's were also not in
short supply with
appointments - we have
examples of MT Mbu
who became Nigeria's Foreign
Affairs Minister
at 23 and Pat Utomi who
became a Federal
Adviser at 27 and so on and so
forth!
NOW: Why is it that almost all
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
today still 'sagg'
their trousers?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still
searching for jobs and 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 this age bracket today
incapable of
feeding itself?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today barred
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!"
From Prof Wole Soyinka. |

Zaikon:Those of them then have refused to relinquish power to the younger generation in the spirit of African sit tight mentality. Do you expect us to continue struggling? |
