They need us more than we need them. And we do not need them for self validation.

My thought is that Africa has not even start. We have not even scratch the surface of the depth of knowledge that are hidden in our people. If we can just handle the useless politics that people waste so much time and energy on, and focus on real development. Our mind is still the last frontier of human knowledge.

No, no. Let's be reasonable. The Peace Corps is duplication of duties of already existing forces. The Civil.Defence is already in existence. What value will Peace Corps add. Even existing ones are badly managed. Creating Peace Corps is not same as creating legitimate job opportunities for the yoiths.

Sowore would have been my ideal candidate but he has a penchant habit of misleading the public through dissemination of falso information. He should stick to his job of being a media hound and a propagandist.

It is because you know nothing about him except what you read in the news. If he truly publish false information, you should ask yourself the most legitimate question. Has anyone or group filed and won a defamation court suit against Sowore or Sahara Reporters, both in Nigeria or US courts? Answer that simple question. Here is young Sowore helping to lead the fight against June 12 annulment in the 90s as Unilag SU president.

THE BALL IS IN THE COURT OF THE YORUBA/SW REGION TO DELIVER NIGERIA FROM BUHARI'S INTELLECTUAL DEFICIENCY.

A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NEEDS TO WIN 25% OF THE VOTES IN 2/3 OF THE 36 STATES, ie, (24 STATES) BEFORE DECLARED WINNER.

BUHARI IS SURE TO WIN 25% IN NEARLY ALL THE 19 STATES IN FULANI-CONTROLLED NORTH. HE NOW NEEDS ANOTHER FIVE STATES OR SO FROM THE SOUTHERN REGIONS.

IF EVERY STATE IN THE YORUBA/SW REGION REFUSES BUHARI 25% VOTES, HE CAN'T WIN, NOT EVEN BY POPULAR VOTES FROM RIGGING AND UNDERAGE VOTES FROM THE NORTH.

It will be different this time in the Southwest. Even the result of the last election, Buhari did not defeat Jonathan in the Southwest by high margin. It was quite close. Check online, you will see the numbers. This man had shot himself in the foot. I am a Buharist, and I am done with his incompetency. Nigeria need more than he can offer.

IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANY STATE IN THE SE/SS WHERE BUHARI CAN WIN 25% VOTES.

Do the math and stop lamenting.

How much does the country make, how many do you consider to be unemployed and how much do you think they should be given?

If you math works out, I would open multiple threads on this Nairaland Facebook and every social media platform I get championing payment of benefits to the unemployed.

I would even ask for.a change of government to whoever you think can implement it.

Note: the math must make sense.

Young man. Money does not fall from heaven. Unemployment stipend come from a "pot" where all who are employed or formerly employed has contributed into. So, if you become unemployed and you show evidence of looking to get gainful employment again, you have a right to get that stipend. Technically, you are being paid back part of what you contributed. It's never for those who haven't been employed before and there is a limit. You can't collect it forever.

You need to understand Nigerian elites. They do not want good for the poor masses. They need people to always shout "Oga" sir to them, even some of your rich relatives want that as well.

So, it is workable and practicable. The money will coming from a contribution. It is called social insurance or unemployment insurance contribution. I have benefited from such before in another country.

So, Nigerian youths. The choice is yours. The power is in your hands. Will you use it wisely or do the same as our parents. Will you take a chance on something radically new but with assured consistency or go the same way, doing things same way expecting different results. I will take a chance on Omoyele Sowore. He has been in battle to fight the cause of the common man since his days as UNILAG student union president. Here in the image below is young Omoyele Sowore beside MKO Abiola during the fight against the military in the "June-12" saga. Has he changed? No. That is consistency. Forget ethnicity, sentiments or stupid myopic reasoning. Lets break away from the past.

Just recently the "dishonourable" minister of communication (Mr Shittu) said Mr Sowore is inconsequential during a radio programme debate. That mean over 60% Nigerians who are youths are likewise inconsequential. Same way of reasoning as Buhari and the elites. Evil people.

It's your time. Nigerian Youths. Don't let this pass by.

That is about 25-yrs ago as student union president in UNILAG, when he was almost killed through poisoned injection by authorities. I was an undergraduate student in Ibadan then.

There's truth in this. Our yahoo yahoo, bbn and desert crossers always front that the government's failure is the pivot for their crimes and irresponsibility. This is a wrong stance. People just want quick money with little or no work done. This doesn't wipe the blame on the slow pace of this government. But when an artisan takes a look at his mates riding expensive cars and decides to sell of all he has to pay off a trafficker who would send him straight to slavery.... That portends impatience and laziness.

Buhari might be slow. But the so called #nottooyoungtorun is morally dead and points fingers on the leaders for a self induced problem

That's self-defeat there. Only a fraction of the youths want quick money if you compare the population of those clamouring to make a living the right way through hard work to those involved in illegal dubious way of making money. We should learn not to generalise. Yes, there is a general moral problem which was also brought on the youths by, most especially, the same political elites. For example, all youths born post-1985 know nothing about the once promising future of Nigeria and all they know is corruption and dubious ways of making money. Because that is what the political elites and military brought upon them. For example, the Almighty JAMB was first leaked in the early 1990s. Fraudsters were all out too starting from late 1980s and by mid-90s, right on my street on Lagos Island, someone who was poor a before could be seen gallivanting in the most expensive car and attire the next day. I remember a guy who was also a military guy begging to use our family landline telephone for the fraud purposes. So, I will blame some youths but most of the blame goes to the "thieving" political elites. They are the most evil people on the face of the Earth.

Coming from a Buharist. This is the reason why the youths must go out there in droves to collect their PVC and vote this man out. Enough. Youth's that cannot get admission to limited spots in Universities. How about the ones with degrees with no jobs. I am done with you man. You are a let down. I have supported you right from age 12 when you were there in 1983/85. Obviously Idiagbon was the man running the show.

Now Nigerian Youths, go out there and vote for a much younger candidate ready to disrupt the polity. This shows same cocky attitude of the Nigerian elites to the populace as pointed out by candidate Omoyele Sowore during a radio show with "dishonourable" minister of communication who referred to him as been inconsequential because he is a youth and not a money-bag.

Even though i don't support the minister's attitude ,He's right in some ways. Go back and check the background of most in political positions now. They have been hanging around the corridors of powers for a very very long time, Everything is decided by the kingmakers in the background. Although it's not impossible for someone like sowore to win the election, It's quite rare, Especially in a country like Nigeria. Anyway, who says you can't dream

Majority of voters are youths, who by their nature and phase in life are largely dreamers. Serious dreamers are doers and they make things happen. The Minister has create the impression that it is worthless being a dreamer in Nigeria. Albeit a serious one. Every thing and products we use today were developed by "dreamers". Point is the Minister is someone that lack the capacity to "dream" or said in a different way, to imagine solutions to problems. Many of these politicians lack that capacity. In fact many Nigerians do because the situation there has "killed" that part of their brain. Youths need to take their destiny in their own hands, task risk worth taking for their future. Nigeria need a Dreamer and Doer at this point. One who can imagine the future the youths crave and take the country there.

Actually, you are right to an extent. I think.God is using Tinubu now to fight even worse enemies. When God is done with him he will cast him to where he belong to, the gutters of history that his descendants will be forced to change their family names to what it truly is.

You are so, so right. And sitting atop the ring is Tinubu. I can't believe these things are happening in Lagos. Tinubu strategy is to share the cookies with few true Lagosians by giving specific government positions to their sons and daughters to keep them quiet. These are the only people that can give him problem but he has strategically silenced them. I was born and bred in Lagos and also an indigene. I wonder a times if this is the same Lagos I kmew.

What do you expect. It is a Roman Catholic church; who were the ones that white-washed the true image of Jesus, a coloured man. I am not Catholic but follow my spouse occasionally to a Catholic church in the US. There is always something I couldn't get my eyes off each time I was in the church. The bible used which the priest raise up occasionally has an image of a dark-skin head with a face which I presume is that of Jesus. But the walls is adorned with whitewashed image of the Passover and similar images. It's known in history that it was Roman Emperor, Constantine, that initiated the whitewash.

Just like some folks making comments here. It seem your mind process information in a different way. Your fuel gauge indicates your tank is not empty, then how can you immediately accept that your fuel tank is empty. The solution was that the "mad man" was detached from the young man circumstances and the trips he has been making to the mechanics. His solution is simple and usually the first thing you think of. But not when your fuel gauge shows otherwise.

You were saved by an "Angel". This is very symbolic, most especially in a place like Nigeria where people are written off easily. The second act of him offering you a "funnel" is like suggesting "aside from advising you to lead you in the right path, I will offer you my hand when you are down and helpless". This kind of things is what make Nigeria an interesting place. Extremely dramatic.
