We the Nigeria youths are the architect of our own problem in Nigeria, ask me why? the age limit electoral law have throw to us a big problem to solve as Nigeria youths, rather than start thinking of how to tackle the problem come 2019 election. We are hear lamenting Tinubu and Atiku sons and daughters are being paved the way into political office. Yes we all know that contesting electoral office is very expensive in every country in the world but not more expensive than the electorate which are the Nigeria youths. The world is looking for people to proffer solutions to problem and We youth are looking for alibis as we Nigerian youths keep doing. Yes we know the APC, PDP , APGA ETC ticket is not for an average Nigeria citizen and the party manifesto at the same time have no provision for the average !!NIGERIA CITIZEN!! BOTH FOR YOU AND ME THE YOUTH.

What if we the Nigeria YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 45 START THINKING OF FORMING A YOUTH POLITICAL PARTY? with members under the age of 45 years before 2019, which we all use to contest political office in the country?

Where the Party political form will not be above
#50,000 naira for senate and house of representative
#100,000 naira for President and Governorship candidate
#25,000 naira for State house of representative

The population on Nigeria Youths between 18 to 45 years old in the country is not less than 60 million which is a massive number to win any election in the country.

So let start thinking of solutions to problems as Nigeria YOUTHS not looking for excuses in every policy in the country.

WHAT IF WE START HERE ON NAIRALAND TO BRAINSTORMING ON HOW TO FORM !! NIGERIA YOUTH POLITICAL PARTY (NYPP) ?

WHERE AVERAGE CONTESTING FOR POLITICAL POST WILL NOT BE ABOVE 45?

WITH CLEAR MANIFESTO LIKE

SUPPORTING OF TRUE FEDERALISM

RESOURCE CONTROL OF MINERAL RESOURCE BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE GOVERNMENT

ABOLISH OF IMMUNITY CLAUSE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR FROM CRIMINAL OFFENSE WHILE IN OFFICE

IMMUNITY CLAUSE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR ONLY ON CIVIL MATTER WHEN IN OFFICE

REDUCTION OF POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS ALLOWANCES NOT MORE THAN 10 TIMES OF THE COUNTRY MINIMUM WAGE AT ANY GIVEN TIME

COMPLETE AUTONOMY OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TIER OF THE COUNTRY

INCREASE FROM 3 YEARS TO 4 YEARS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN AND COUNCILORS TENURE AND REMOVING OF ELECTION CONDUCTING FROM THE STATE INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION

WE CAN START LOOKING FORM THAT SOLUTION STARTING TODAY ON NAIRALAND HERE .

I know of a 23 year old nairalander who spends hundreds of millions to import goods for sale. You know what this guy and others like him didn't do? They didn't and aren't spending their hay days thinking about their next or last boyfriend/girlfriend, didn't spend it thinking about how to convince their next 'catch'to 'fall', didn't spend it listening to music that demeans them and fill their mouths with vulgar words, didn't spend it thinking about the next party to attend, didn't spend it cooking up lies to tell their parents to extort money from them as undergrads, didn't live with the belief that only fraudsters, corrupt politicians and ritualists become wealthy and rich, didn't spend it believing that they need a 'connection'to rise career-wise, didn't spend it blaming the government for their last fart. You know what they spent their hay days doing, they spent it thinking about their future, they spent it planning and executing same in pursuit of specific set out goals, they spent it studying about who, what and where they want to be in the next 5 years, they spent it listening to music that raised their spirit, they spent it thinking about how to live Godly, honestly, and prosper as well because they know it is not only possible, but the shortest route to living happily tomorrow, they spent it becoming the 'connection' others would need to rise, they spent it becoming a government unto their fellow men. These ones my friend are they who would become the youth leaders of tommorow, eventually becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Be wise, pray, plan and accept no negative thoughts and even the skies, won't be worthy of being called your starting point.
