Nigerian youth should be concerned that after 25 your life is half way over. 50 is still young in most countries, especially where they have adequate healthcare facilities.
Instead of pressuring our leaders to build hospitals and eradicate poverty, we are busy practicing tribalism and dividing ourselves among party lines. When will we wake up and realize that we are the cause of out own problem?
We are concerned about celebrities, sports, and sex instead of finding ways to better our lives. Take a look at that list and tell me why are Japanese or even Sudanese living longer?
