Nigeria Youth Of THEN & NOW by sweet2blv: 9:10am On Oct 11, 2015 |
Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!!!
Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello
(36), Effiong (36), Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh
(27), Enahoro (27) led the struggle for
independence after the death of Macaulay. Only
Zik 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?
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? |
