~~~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 BLESSED NIGERIA! From Prof. Wole Soyinka. This. Is real Food for thought.
