I feel very sad when I hear young Nigerians say they have given up on Nigeria. However, it is so understandable why they have lost hope in the country, given the myriad of attacks they have been made to face by clueless and wicked leaders. I have said it before that so many young people in Nigeria have passports of other Countries in their minds. They have left the country psychologically.

Why won’t they lose hope?!

The Nigerian youth hears about trillions spent on power but he cannot find his shadow.

He reads that Obasanjo spent 16 billion dollars on darkness and Buhari spent 10 billion looking for oil in the North-East. While one; a subset of the ruling class is asking “Where is the power?”, another is asking “Where is the oil?” He knows that for the ruling class, there would never be any consequence for doing wrong. He knows!

He reads on the pages of newspapers how they are recruiting in CBN, only to find out that he is not ’employable’. The ’employables’ are sons of the elite. He was the one who struggled to go to school, thinking he would be educated as a mechanical engineer and therefore employable, only to find out that the equipment in the laboratories are to be pampered, for a lot of them are older than he.

His sister just died as a result of the protracted industrial action of JOHESU. But he also knew of the time when Yusuf Buhari sustained injuries while playing with his friends and was flown to Germany. He has also read how the Aso Rock Clinic, according to the wife of the President, does not have syringes despite the whopping sum of 10.1 billion naira allocated to it in the 3 YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC INTEGRITY. He has asked himself- ‘If the Aso Rock Clinic could be like that, what then is the fate of my relatives and other Nigerians going to LUTH?’

Just last week, his brother was picked by kidnappers-in-uniform because he looks ‘fresh’ and uses an iPhone. He was implicated and sent to prison because he was not ready to ‘bail’ himself. Bail for no offence! He and his family could make an academic paper and deliver an ‘inaugural lecture’ on Police Brutality.

Do not forget that his father is a pensioner but the agents of Maina have made him a ‘penury-er’. And when his uncle and aunt left for Libya and Italy respectively, it was Thanksgiving.

He has been polarised totally from good governance.

His hitherto gentle soul has found succour and peace in drugs and bets.



In all of this, the good news is that all hope is not lost.
Why?


I would not want to go far to show examples of countries where citizens challenged the status quo; nations like Russia, China, USA were very backward than Nigeria. I had shared before, on this platform, a letter written by Great Britain to Nigeria, calling our leaders to a meeting to help the UK. Yes! This same country! Nothing has changed but the quality of leaders emboldened by the relative silence and acquiescence of the followers.

How Can Nigeria Help Britain

The citizens of the aforementioned nations saw the need not to give up and keep complaining. They stood and fought gallantly for the ‘little’ they are enjoying today.

In South Africa, the political activist, Nelson Mandela, was thrown into one of the deadliest prisons for 27 years. Most of us who have given up already are not yet 27 years old.

We have a chance to change the course of history. I am not in the illusion that what would change Nigeria and the society is the Ballot. There is no such thing as a BALLOT REVOLUTION. The only revolution known in history to the best of my knowledge is the SOCIAL REVOLUTION – Cultural/Political.

We must, nevertheless, within this space, explore the electoral means and other means provided by the law as we forge ahead for the greater struggle.

Why not go out today to register for your PVC? Tell your Dad to tell your Mum that hope is on the way. We only can change our destiny because it is in our hands.

Sowore........ The Devil we know is better than the Angel we don't know....

Sowore seems to be on a mission for someone. though I may be wrong.

Let's try and sent Buhari to his home to go and rest, according to his Doctors, please

The reason why Sowore will be a disasterous President just like Buhari is that he is hoping to give what cannot be given.

Sowore thinks that the problem with Nigeria is bad leadership. What he is yet to understand and probably never accept is that Nigeria is a bad union. The unity of Nigeria is so bad that even if you resurrected Sister Theresa from the dead and asked her to rule Nigeria justly, equitably and fairly, she would fail badly, and this is a Saint.

What Durotoye thinks is fairness might be seen as nepotism in the East, what Sowore thinks is equity might be seen as Impunity in the North. What Moghalu thinks is "vision" might be seen as "nightmare" in the West. What Sowore thinks is good governance might seen as bad governance in the south.

Sowore, Moghalu, Durotoye and all these 'new kids on the block' had better understand that although Buhari is a terrible leader, there is no point coming to be worse than him.

The unity of Nigeria is a disasterous one that allows nothing to be good. So unless they have a plan on how to rectify the non existent unity of Nigeria, they will all end up as every other Nigerian head of state, a failure

I have nothing more to add! If some youths cant understand this comment, they are as disillusioned as sowore.

I understand your point and Sowore does as well, the truth is that these set of leaders are the ones that geared our orientation and thinking in that way. They made us to believe that we are different by tribes and religious, but you and I understand there is no difference in our problems and the suffering, which all Nigeria undergo.

If there is no power in Lagos, it won't only affect the Yoruba's or Igbo, every other tribes who stay in Lagos will feel it as well. Same in health, transportation and other sector. But when it comes to looting, tribes and religion is no longer applicable. These people who are pro of their individual tribes own properties in other tribes territory. They were able to successfully entrench those message through government control media and communication outfit which rein supreme then. But you know what, the tides is changing, if not for SM and private broadcast station President Buhari wouldn't have been able to defeat GEJ.

That is why education and enlightenment of young people (who has a larger percentage of literacy) is key, this will be made possible through numerous modern communication channels which are inevitably here to stay. The government understand these, which is why they are trying to gag the social media space.

Within the space of three month the TakeitBack movement has became know nationwide and the supporters are growing everyday. The Take It Back movement believes in the following tenets:

1 That Nigeria is a great nation, blessed with an energetic, creative and intelligent people, as well as with extensive and bountiful natural resources
2 That Nigeria’s religious and ethnic diversity is a source of strength and not a basis for disunity
3 That the Nigerian nation has remained stagnant because of the poor quality of leaders that have ruled the nation at all levels
4 That the rampant corruption that has come to dominate Nigeria’s political space is the result of a political process that is disconnected from the Nigerian people, and a view of leadership that is not about service, but about self aggrandizement
5 That Nigeria’s people have all that it takes to reclaim their nation from the looters that have held our collective national destiny of greatness in check for almost 6 decades.
6 That Nigerians everywhere – regardless of their age, gender, creed, tribe, class or religious affiliation – can realize their full potential without the aid of godfathers and godmothers.

The movement is all about Freedom of second colonization by our leaders, that is why the movement doesn't have any godfathers on which basis many believes it will fail.

Dear sowore2019,

How will you equip the rule of law ?

How will you assemble a corrupt free cabinet in the midst of the current individual ?

How will you avert the disasterous assembly of FGN

the country problem isn't about who rule us as president, the problem lies in our collective unity.

Sowore, the future is here and we are the future. Vote Omoyele Sowore for President 2019.
