~~~Prof. Wole Soyinka says, 'WHERE DID WE GO
WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~
"Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu
Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro
27 and they led the struggle for Nigeria
Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only
Zik was 42 at the time!
In 1966, the first military coup was led by K
Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.
Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25,
J.
Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23,
and
brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33,
Obasanjo 29, and Buhari 24!
Most of the military governors who governed the
states under the successive military regimes were
under 30 years.
Also, the brief democratic dispensation which
interjected the military interregnums also saw
some Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, in particular, populated by
persons under 30!
Under 30's were also not in short supply with
appointments - we have examples of MT Mbu
who
became Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister at 23
and Pat Utomi who became a Federal Adviser at
27 and
so on and so forth!
NOW: Why is it that almost all this age bracket is
today still sleeping in 3-seater chairs in their
parents’ homes?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still
collecting pocket money from their parents?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still
writing
JAMB?
Why is it that this age bracket today still 'sagg'
their
trousers?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still
searching for jobs and not yet married?
Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer
qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of
political parties?
Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile?
Why is this age bracket today incapable of
feeding itself?
Why is it that this age bracket is today barred
from
even aspiring to certain political offices?
Why is it that this age bracket is today
incapacitated,
unwilling, unable and incapable of asking
questions? GOD BLESS NIGERIA!"

This is real Food for Thought.
