Guys how can we start some sort of movement for the Nigerian youths where we will make a tremendous impact in the society and our voice would be heard by our leaders?
I feel we've been neglected. I feel most youths these days just embrace whatever the society gives them. I feel nobody is willing to do anything. Most youths would shy away from things like this. We already have an adaptive spirit, taking anything that comes our way. Everybody wants to get to the helm of affairs but no one is willing to change or take the first step.
What's your take on this guys. Let's just express how we feel sincerely here...

How would our voice be heard?obviously not through nairaland
If nairaland youths can come together let's make this thread lively, then with time we will take it to twitter en mass

Sure I agree with you, obviously not through naira land,
but we can start from somewhere, and as you've said, if only the youths on naira land can come together, this will all make sense...

What plans do you have now?

We would all start by airing our views, everyone would drop a comment or two about how we can start a change. I basically believe that our youths are confused and have lost it, but there are still a lot of people out there that are willing to start a change,
hence the reason for this group. So its not really about what plans I have, its about what we can do together because we are stronger together...

We should show support to our peers contesting for government positions. We should encourage and support them. We shouldn't just assume that they can never win because they are contesting with way older people and so just sit back and not show any form of support.

2019 is at the corner and the polithiefcians will come out en masse with their false promises. Some might offer we, the young people, money to vote for them and ignore our peers who might not have that kind of money to throw around but have noble intentions. Let's not sell the future for chicken change. Let's support our own. To those that sold their votes during the last general elections, I hope you are still spending the money now.

Omg this is an amazing post! You really hit the nail on the head!!! We shouldn't assume a younger candidate can't win because they are contesting again the older ones...

False promises everywhere. The youths of these days sell out their futures to all these politicians than cone to them with bribe. Temporary success is not success. Anything that comes easily goes easily...

Thanks for creating this thread. I have a lot to say. I know a lot of young people have a lot to say too.

Sure, and I'm glad you've got a lot to share.
I'd like to start by saying that before any positive impact can be made, we have to start from ourselves. I hate to say this but most of our youth's behaviors are very disheartening. Things I see most especially on social media just make me wonder where exactly our generation is going. We keep complaining that the people at the helm of affairs are corrupt and not fit to rule. But our youths these days are doing little or nothing to change that trend. What's the way forward guys, what is the first step? How do we go about imparting ourselves positively before making decisions in unison. How can we captivate the minds of the youths out there? Two heads is most definitely better than one. You comments pls guys...

Having personal goals is a major step. Some people don't know what they really want to achieve say 5 years from now. When goals are defined, it gives direction and whatever that person does will be directed into achieving that goal. There won't be time for unnecessary stuff.
