From the depth of my sorrowful heart, with tears in my eyes, fright in my soul and tremble on my fingers, I come up with this write up on what we've turned love to be. Everyday, we say the sentence I LOVE YOU yet our action proves opposite. As a matter of fact, I LOVE YOU concept has lost it originality or should I say we've long buried the true meaning of it. It no longer serves its purpose of expressing one's true feeling of likeness and devotion like Christ did.
It's so alarming seeing everyone write about hates, discrimination, fake friends, pretences and all. So many are living in fear that their supposed friends, neighbours even lovers might backstab them. If you don't feel secured around our own people, how then can you spread love to the world!!.. Think
The supposed love system has now witnessed lovers turned exes, families turn strangers and friends turn foes all because they lack true love. We now live in a world where successful people have turned the envies of the unsuccessful ones, beautiful people get death wishes from the ones who are less beautiful, a knowledgeable classmate gets a scornful looks from the less knowledgeable ones. With so many other mentions, even this category of people that gets envied oppreses the inferior ones. Why do we live in such a world of terror??
A Nigerian isn't safe amidst his fellow countrymen, man feels threatened by his fellow tribesmen, kinsmen don't eat in family meetings and occassions so they don't get trapped spiritually, even flatmates don't allow their children visit the next neighbor. This chain continues to go round and shapes our perception up till the next generation.. Little wonder we lost believe in our country, it all started from within.
We boast and find solace in empty promises, showing fake love, pretending to be who we aren't and yet we claim we share bonds, we deserve some accolades right? How insane!! The result of our broken Nigeria is the result of our diversified inner self.... Does it even cross our mind? We don't care, do we?
Life isn't all about competition, you can actually make it without pulling down your own brother. Love for your fellow Nigerian is love for all humanity including our dear country that binds us together. Stop thinking you are obliged to love only your friend, family, or tribesmen, you owe the whole of Nigeria and everybody that exists within your love. This is a step ahead to progress.
Having an actual "we-spend-time-together" relationship with another person on the basis of love (romantic love, friendship love, parental love) requires giving up a little of your autonomy and personal freedom, don't be too egoistic. This would help spread love to the world.
A sharp reminder here, we all come from just one race and that's the human race. Shun the religious differences, forget the ethnic disparities, the deviation in our ideologies and belief shouldn't be a source of conflict. The love for a fellow man precedes the love for our country (Nigeria) and only this way, we all can grow and reach our heights. Let's reinstate the I LOVE YOU and do away with the scornful I LOVE YOU. Only then can 9ja's situation be better and improved.
Show love to people in all circumstances and reciprocate people's love if you're opportuned to get one( people get tired if they don't get back the kind of love they give you). Words alone doesn't tell how much you care, try putting them in actions; you might save lifes. We all are humans, nobody deserves to be slayed, none of us deserves the hate. There's unity in our diversity. One love.

You made a point Bro, political, economic and social participation is what we need.. The youths should stop sitting behind when it comes to leadership matters.. We need to stop supporting an old man and present a young candidate whom we all would support.. This way, we can make a headway afterall the youths are larger in numbers

SLUMBERING YOUTHS
It's so heartbreaking that I come from a country where the youths are as irrelevant as the P in psychology. It disturbs me that most youths of Nigeria are cynics( y'all believe we can't change the status quo). Nothing saddens me than hear a youth say, 'if I have a chance to leave this country, I would never come back' or 'if only I am opportuned to be in any leadership position, I would loot funds more than my predecessors'; isn't it so heartbreaking??
When are we going to wake up from our slumbers and change the prejudices that our parents grew up with??
Youths help the gerontocratic and demagogue rulers of Nigeria in oppressing the helpless masses. To give you a clearer picture, up to 85 percent of Africans are below the age of 45, and just 5 percent are aged 60 or more, yet, they control us. Are we actually helpless??
For just a token, an old man buys our future and we still hail him like we are being controlled with a remote. Because of our silence, the biggest casualties of unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and social vice in Nigeria are its youth. Ain't we too dumb??
A youth that decides to sell his vote for a token and blames poverty is not different from our ignorant forefathers who sold their freedom and government all for mirror and salts. Youths are the leaders of tomorrow, so we were told; when is the tomorrow__After death??
We sacrifice our young lives for an old man, yet, we say are the revolution. In July 2018, an emotional message by a Zimbabwean cleric on social media sent shockwaves across his country. Protest after protest, the people of Zimbabwe – especially its young people – took to the streets to demand for better governance and improved standards of living. More young Africans – most of who are tech savvy – use social media as a trusted medium for monitoring and participating in serious social and political issues. In my own country, social medias are for jokes. Where have we lost it??
Theodore Roosevelt was 42, john Fitzgerald Kennedy was 43 while Obama was just 45 respectively when they first became the United states President. Emmanuel Macron(President of France) was just 41 years yet he led his people. In my country, a 45 year old is still sagging his trousers and making dry jokes on social medias. Do you even think at all!!
The only thing you need is you, stand up and fight for your rights, enough of the oppression, we are the revolution, we need a real change and not chicken change(as in money). This is a call to wake you up from your slumber.. Together, lets fight for change!!
