Naija youths should take good advantage of this opportunity .

But we won't be surprise to see that this thread won't make it more than 2 pages.
Some people filled with hatred for their country will rather sit and sleep on a thread talking about any negative news about Nigeria.....gloating!
That is all they pray to wake up to read daily, sniffing around for bad news about our darling nation like bingo dogs.

Nonentities everywhere.

Sane, good, honest and hardworking Nigerian youths, this is a good opportunity for y'all!

See as the thread dry, only 30 members viewing!
Shaking our heads!

Nigerian youths do not hate their country. They hate those who manage their resources as government. They hate those who have destroyed the educational climate of the country. They hate those who have helped in the devaluation of the Naira. They hate the politicians who seem to be the only beneficiary of governance. They hate all who have impoverished their future. Why should Nigerian youths be happy with those who hide under tribal sentiments to perpetuate insecurity killings, kidnapping etc in the country. Why is it that N2000 is enough to buy the vote of the average Nigerian electorate?

The question is, should they keep quiet and hope that these evil coalitions will somehow repent and start doing the right thing for the common good of Nigerians?

Hatred of such government officials and politicians is not equivalent to hatred of the Nation. No!
