TonyeBarcanista:



Finally, leadership is not a gift, it must be earned. If the youths really want generational shift, they must show willingness to lead. As at now, the youths are just not prepared for leadership.



May God Bless Us All

Dannyset:
To some extent, all what you said is true.
But let me start by saying that if you are truly the Barcanista I knew on this forum, then you are more guilty of your first point, cos I heard you changed party because you were promised a post of PA/SA. So with that, it shows you are nt prepared to be a leader as a youth.

The 2nd point also points at you cos your zeal is only demonstrated on social media and not in real life. Have seen youths like Omojuwa, Ogundamisi, MrFixIt, AyeeDee etc. displayed the youthful zeal in real life and I won't be surprised if one or some of them are called up later for an office a youth can lead from.

Why am saying this is that, every one of us here is guilty of the backwardness of youth in leadership position because the system has already cornered us into mere followers. All we look for is money, and the politicians understood that and throw money at us any time they see awareness in us. What else can we do when the Bible in itself has said "Money answereth all things". As a result of these, we are divided on many grounds and they laugh us to scorn.

.........will continue later.

TheSonOfMark:
The same SHORTCHANGED youths would besiege this thread to spew cliched hogwash like "wailers" and any of such partisan dysphemism as against brainstorming 'cause admitting the current administration has no plan to phase youths into leadership roles is an admission of them doing a piss-poor job at rooting for the supposed sanctimonious pseudo-change-spewing geriatric political jobbers.

Pidggin:
Youths are ready for leadership, but our Power Holding Leaders are not ready to relinquish their positions.

WHOcarex:
Your own na to dey blow grammar. Abeg shift

LieDetector:
Why do I have this feeling you're ichidodo?

ronald4lif:
One got to agree judging from the fact that the youths are actively insulting each other on social media and contending who can hurl the most effective throbbing with contemptuous rudeness obviating the need of brainstorming on critical and topical issues that can bring to light development and policies that directly affect us as a nation.

Each time one rummages through the politics section of this board or on any blogosphere they'd be amassed by the submissions and average thought process of the Nigerian youths. Rather than engage on issues they revel on party, ethnic and religious sentiments and with contributions laced with hate against one another that makes one wonder how Lord Lugard was able to liason among our ancestors and facilitated the birth of the union.

A closer look of the average Nigerian youth and a clinical assessment of their independent logical thought process I'd conclude that they're unfit to be leaders nor future of a budding country like ours with exigent need of a change (not the type bandied by the political jesters of APC). Let the present oldies pioneer this country till when the youths are ready to embrace contemporary and positive thinking. Till then...

godfatherism..sharing of money nko? Tonye see eh,not until the people realise power actually belong to them and doing ranka dai dai for elected officers as demigods instead of holding them responsible for good governance will Nigeria be ready..as for me, I am apolitical..I'd rather contribute my own quota by wealth/ job creation

The most sensible post so far

People do not understand that their power is not in the voter's card, which is useful only at the polls every four years

The person who gets to elected office (not power) is your equal and not your superior

Tinubu or Fayose and even Buhari is not more Nigerian than you who casts your votes for him


But my brother this is the sad reality of democracy even gloobally: elected officials are lords and kings and you and I are only commoners who are at best stepping stones to "power"

I believe a lot in grassroot leadership as the only way to upstage this nasty modus operandi

Karleb:
This is nothing but a generalized fallacious bullcrap!


...and for the last time, there's a difference between the whole of Nigerian youths and some ambitiousless louts.

Democracy is all about people, we(citizens) are the govt our leaders are suppose to act ceremoniously but we have give them the opportunity to brainwashed us, imagine stella oduah sitting her as.s down in the senate making law for us. It so unfortunate how do we get to this stage?
