Enough is enough.
If you're a youth who's fed up with the way youths are relegated to the background in Nigeria's affairs by our elders, then you're in the right place. It's high time we come together and form a True Youthful Party, bound by Equality, Respect and Principles of Democracy.
We are leaders of today, not leaders of tomorrow.

Right! For starters we shall require at least a billion naira to get started! You go sponsor?

Lol... Talk is cheap

Money is not the only requirement to form a new political party.

Are you game for a new youthful party?

Are we talking of the youths who are always ready to defend corruption and also proclaim they stand with corruption just because they hate the president?

No hope in Nigerian youths if what they post online is a reflection of their belief/perception.

For naija? Bros wake up from your deep slumber!


What we practice in this country is "financiological politics" instead of "ideological"! Unless you want to go fully O.Y.O!

Hmmm ; after years of nurturing this party towards campaign period the chairman will then sell our mandate to PDP abi. Plz u guys should come with another strategy. You con me once I win, you con me twice you win.

I know political parties require money to run their activities. However money will be an issue if a political party is formed around a personality. With that process, it will be easy for money bags to hijack the party; owing to the saying; ''He who pays the piper dictates the tunes.''
But if we the Nigerian youths hinge our party on members rather than on individuals, the issue of finance will certainly not be a problem. A party formed around members makes it difficult for money bags to hijack it.

@ Major466,

Nigerian youth are too sentimental and myopic to lead. You imagine that some are brainwashed to continue to chant Sai Baba, even in the face of adversity for a plate of portage and few Naira CHANGE?


Buhary and his mate plan coup in Nigeria at their early age, became governors & Military administrators in their 30s, what do we have now?

Absolute bitterness and acrimony, + the recycled grandpa divide and rule policy in our politics.

True what you noted happened before. Unfortunately for the other parties, internal democracy is missing. They're mostly runned through authocratic method. That is why things like that happen. Internal democracy in 98% of Nigerian political parties is nonexistence. Reason why you see one man (chairman) deciding the fate of millions of party faithfuls against their wishes. All because the chairman is backed by money bags funding the party.

Firefire:

Sad reality. If Nigerian youths can just wake up and realize the power we have, this country will go places. Unfortunately many are just contented on becoming second fiddle.

Nice idea! Have this idea for the past 10yrs, have develop a master plan almost to a completion. Just need the right time to launch it. Its not easy to bring down the strong men of this country, they will fight u physically, financially, spiritually and psychologically.

Where there's the will there's a way.

Together we shall over come them.

I have proposed this before, it is a good idea. But there some major hurdles that must be crossed if it must come to fruition:
1. The most challenging issue is tribalism and nepotism. Will Yoruba youths ever allow an Igbo youth to become the party's leader. This is obvious even on NAIRALAND and other social media like facebook, twitter and the likes.
2. Will Nigerian youths not be bought with dollars. If you agree with me, we all know that an average Nigerian youth loves "Kudi", "Ego" and "Owo"
3. Thuggery

the party wont even last for 24 hours.

u are right. I av been thinking same thing. It is only the youth dat can bring d change we need. Lets have a political party where all contestants/aspirants must be between 25-40yrs old. No more old men. D old have crippled dis country wit their old mindset of corruption and impunity. To achieve a new result, lets do it in a new way

Nigerian youths wake up

I support this idea I really love my country pls no argument some1 should come up with a name and leader I will follow....guys lets do this I will follow

I jst think it is all about unity...we yorubas should learn how to live with our igbo brothers and vice versa.



I AM FULLY IN FOR THIS

Nice idea Sir, I wish we all the youth will Wake up and come to our right senses come 2019, form our own party, select our preferred candidate and all vote him into to power. This is achievable only if we all come together... We are far far more than them in terms of populations!

Why isn't this on front page?

I am solidly behind this move!

In the absence of TRIBALISM, your idea looks realistic with huge potentials. But with the chants of Yorubas hating the Igbos and vice versa, it(the idea) is dead on arrival.
I have no problem with the idea, but first, we all must fight tribalism.

Very true.

Right timing for this, there should be a credible opposition party in Nigeria

Young, professionals, I support this OP

You raised very important points. Tribalism is the bane of Nigeria's underdevelopment.
