Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!!!

Awolowo was (37),

Akintola (36),

Ahmadu Bello (36),

Effiong (36),

Balewa (34),

Okotie-Eboh (27),

Enahoro (27),

led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay.

Only Azikiwe was (42) at the time.

In 1966, the first coup was led by

Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered

by Murtala Mohammed (28),

Theophilus Danjuma (28),

Babangida (25),

Nanven Garba (23),

Sani Abacha (23),

Shehu Musa Yaradua (23) and brought into power

Gowon (32),

Ojukwu (33),

Obasanjo (29),

Buhari (24).

Most of the military administrators who

governed the states under the successive military regimes, most of whom are governors now, were under 30 years. The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the House of

Representatives in particular populated

by majority of members under 30 years

as well as some senators.

Under 30s were also not in short supply with

appointments, we have examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who

became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth. NOW: Why is it that 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 and forming loyalty?,

Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB?

Why is it that this age bracket is today

still sagging their trousers?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs?

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 it that this age bracket is today still incapable of feeding itself?

Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices?,

Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions?

Why is it that the youth don't want change?..

Are we the youth generally curse??...

At 25, most of the youths are still battling to gain Admission into the University. By the time they are 30, they feel like dias nothing the can offer again and that time is nolonger on the®e side.

Bros, Country yaf spoil! when the youths bubbled we had a manageable population, few people were educated then and were over pampered by mother Nigeria, today those spoilt kids don't want to let go sucking their thumb (privileges) so they secure whatever is available for all to themselves regardless the impact, today the youth can never boast of comfort at 35. the only solution to this is by growing out of the ditch dug for us( sentiment, hate,jealousy,greed,religious intolerance etc) and hanersing our collective pain,strugles, strength and brilliance to re-create our dream country, it takes a lot of courage, sacrifice and patience, can any current Nigerian youth do this? we grow lazy by the seconds. God help us.
