While we have been busy talking about Nigeria of today, I wonder if we have spared a thought about how this country will be in the next TWENTY-FIVE years.

On October 1, 1979, when Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari was sworn-in as president, Goodluck Jonathan was just a 22 year-old undergrad of University of Port-Harcourt. Shagari was 54 years old. Ayo Fayose was 19 years old. Bukola Saraki was 17. Yemi Osinbajo was 22. The generation of the likes of Shagari, Richard Akinjide, Adisa Akinloye, Sabo Barkin Zuwo, Sam Mbakwe, Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, Ume Ezeoke, Christian Onoh, Akin Omoboriowo, Olusola Saraki, Sunday Awoniyi, Garba Nadama, Awal Ibrahim and so on has gone for good!

Some of us in our 40s, 50s and 60s now, were in school then, either in the university or secondary school. We had lofty dreams, both personal and societal. We were always motivated by nationalists and inventors who had impacted positively on the cause of humanity. We were voracious readers of novels and other books. Nelkon for our Ordinary Level Physics, Lambert for Chemistry, B.O ADELEKE and Goh Cheng Leong for our Geography, Phebean Ogundipe for Practical English, William Shakespeare Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, OLa Rotimi and Wole Soyinka for Literature and others like that.

We were always flaunting our knowledge of current affairs. Inter-school quiz, Literary and Debating competition were the in-thing. Nowadays, students can hardly string a sentence together in English without errors.

Fast forward 35 years on and you are shocked and disturbed. Have you ever spoken to or engaged a 20 year-old boy? Ask him what motivates him and he is likely to mention music, hip hop to be precise. He has hundreds of downloaded songs on his phone. He can sing all of them off hand. He knows all the singles of Nice, Neato C, Timaya, Davido, Whiz Kid off hand. The babes among them take pride in enticing men old enough to be their father on social media with buxomly physique. But he/she does not know anything about history of nationalism in the country. Ideas about good society, responsible family and good conduct do not motivate him. He just wants to make money because his friend who does yahoo is rich and rides a good car, her friend who has numerous ‘aristos’ drives an SUV!

The things that interest him/her are things that do not add value. He /she has google but never uses it for advancement of knowledge but to download porn and other inanities. Yet, in TWENTY years time, they are the ones that will be contesting to become governors, senators, Reps members and even president.

They belong to a generation that does not care about morality. They belong to a generation that is motivated only by money and its acquisition. By 2035 to 2040, they will be our senators, Reps, governors and so on.

I wonder if we have ever spared a thought for how this country will look like under them. I told a man recently and these are my words: IF A GUY WHO IS IN LAGOS COULD USE FALSE PRETENCE TO
OBTAIN $20,000 FROM SOMEONE IN UNITED STATES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF SUCH A GUY BECOMES A STATE GOVERNOR AND IS IN CHARGE OF AN ALLOCATION HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO OBTAIN UNDER FALSE PRETENCE? WHICH HIS STATE IS STATUTORILY ENTITLED TO. How did we get into this mess? How can we get out of this predicament? I am worried, deeply worried. Are you?

Note: I don't know the Author of this write up, it was forwarded to me and it's worth reading and sharing.

Pls, let us continue to share,it might change one or two people.

The problem with Nigerians is that they create this situation for themselves by not thinking and letting their idiot obas, emirs and afas think for them. Just imagine electing a dullard, a failed coupist like Buhari into power. Do you think Tinubu really thought that Dullard Buhari that couldnt run a military government at the height if his prime in 1985 could make Nigeria better in 2015. No C'mon he is not that stupid. He was just greedy. The stupid ones are the olodo drones that voted APC including Sowore and Soyinka. The basic Nigerian is incredibly stupid.

1. A generation is thirty years. The author failed in that aspect.

2. The author should focus on the generation now as they are the ones devoid of common sense needed to grasp power off these fossils. The new generation will take care of themselves. The change in time will bring new challenges unthought of today.

3. Change is constant. All those old generations had people yearning for power. Power is desired to a Nigerian but not important, as such the new generation focuses more on things which will at least bring them to public spotlight. Did Desmond Elliot not from movies jump successfully into politics? Davido can do the same. What has the author achieved with his life other than typing epistles?

Buhari is actually one of the smartest Nigerians around. Most young Nigerians dont have the depth to even begin to appreciate the mentality of the guy. Mentality is everything.

What the poster of this thread is bringing out is that young Nigerians are empty.
Empty is sad. It is a social bomb. Hating Buhari cannot fill the hole caused by empty. If you cannot work hard, think hard, have God or at least a philosophy of life that makes sense you are screwed.

The saddest part of the story is, while the Nigerian youth is losing focus, and going down in value, his contemporaries in Asia, Europe, and America are developing at a geometrical pace; And whether he likes it or not he must compete with them in the future.

WORRYING STUFF !!!!

Nigeria is doomed!

Every development start from the respect of rule of law. Where no government officials or any rich individuals can wake up one morning to purnish a citizen just because they have the state instruments to do so

Post of the year.
See how you summarize everything in one fell swoop.
If you know the kinds of coconut that people carry and mistook for a head!.

When you and your family have to travel abroad for Medicals, and you have the means to launch a world class health facilities, then you are the dumbest human on the planet.

When as a president u still reference 1900 grazing routes, then you are a block head.

we should expect worse 2 Tim 3:1-5.

3But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,3having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness,4betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,5having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.
