Recently, I saw a movie "Winnie" and I was moved by the passion and resilience that characters like Winnie and Mandela displayed. I must say we are a big disgrace to our generation.

Our generation watch the government maltreat us. We allow them take us for fools. Greatness is never achieved by cowards. It is either now or never. They call us leaders of tomorrow. Well, tomorrow is here already. They say we do not have the capacity to lead, let us show them that we live for something much more important than designer wears, cars or luxury.


The time is now brothers and sisters. I may not totally subscribe to the idea of secession(Biafra), I think those brothers are no cowards. I would rather we channeled our energy towards making the government more accountable. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

I recommend that you ponder on this quote by the great Plato; "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors". Arise Nigerian Youth, Wake up from your slumber. Arise sleeping Giants.

As progressives, we should develop tactics, gather resources, ideas to equip and sensitize ourselves that our education would be a waste if we fold our arms and watch these politicians enslave and rob us of our future.

That said, hate speeches and secession preach would not help us to achieve these objectives. I would advise that we desist from name calling, cursing or using abusive words against our leaders. It will not portray us as Ready -To -Lead but I would rather we focused our collective frustrations and angers towards breaking these chains of slavery. The country is already rooted in nepotism, religious sentiments and tribalism. Let's try and bring on better ideas to actualize the progression that we desire for this country of ours.

Lalasticlala, please, move to the front-page.

Just look at the youth around your area. What do you see? People who celebrate poor performance. All they need is their daily dosage of booze and highness.


Let's start from our hood.

The JJ crew land and everybody hails. Honour! Honour!! What is honourable about them?

You can either be good or bad.

verygudbadguy:

Are you sure about that? Are you all good with no bad behaviour? You go be angel be dat na...

figoperch:


Guy, I'm far from being an angel.

What is good and what is bad is a function of perception.

I also did not say anything about behaviour.


I get your point regarding your original post. My own view is that what you clamour for cannot be achieved by the so called youth if we were to be realistic.

Just take your post as an example. The movie you saw triggered something in you that spurred your writeup.

You even posted it as your WhatsApp status. I'm sure some of your friends on WhatsApp may have seen it. How many have taken a step further to engage you here days after the post?

The youth you want to act 'do not really care'. Gba bee broda. Everybody is out "hustling for bread" so they got no much time to forge any cohesive voice or platform to launch the kind of formidable movement Winnie and Nelson led.

Those who think they've made it feel too big to involve themselves.

Lemme ask you. How much do you know about NYCN? This is the Officially acknowledged representation of the 'youth' as far as Fed Govt is concerned. I'm sure there's one guy representing your hood at NYCN.

....... I dey come. I wan drink small pito
