Sometime ago i came across a whatsapp message from a friend, in that message, the writter was lamenting about how their teacher have made it known to them that they were to be the leaders of tomorrow. The writter went forward to inform us that such dreams have not come to pass that those who have been in power since he was a little kid are the ones who are still at the helm of affairs in the country.
Unlike my probing nature of asking whoever moves such messages to me different questions, i ignored him because i know he wont give me any meaninful answer to my questions.

It is true that many of those who are still in power since Nigeria’s independence have been there for a very long time and should have hanged their boot, but we must also point out that the Nigerian youths have had some share of power in one way or the other.

Then, the question arises as to what they have done with such opportunities given to them. It will be an act of falsehood to say that our youths have not been given the opportunity to rule in one way or the other. Goodluck Jonathan is a clear example of those in this category. We must not also forget Tambuwal, Amaechi, Oshiomhole, akpabio, mimiko, obi, obiano, orji kalu, Amosun, Obanikoro, Akunyili, Fashola etc. Most of the commisioners, State house of Assembly Members, special advisers and other aides to our politicians are young Nigerians. So those who go about shouting the youths are/were not given chances to lead should look for a better job.

Some of this opportuned leaders who are regarded as youths did not live up to expectation. Names like Dimeji Bankole, Farouk Lawal Alamesigha Ibori etc quickly comes to mind.

The truth is, the Nigerian youths are not ready for leadership positions and when i say leadership, i mean quality leadership that everyone can be proud of. How many of our SUG presidents have discharged their duties with honesty and dedication to the students they led. All throughout my university days none of them realy gave a good account of themselves. All they did was to embezle, mismanage funds and dance to the tune of the school management to the detriment of the students.

Just recently some Nigerian students were shot by military men in university of Jos and just like their normal misplaced priority the politicaly affiliated body who call themselves NANS (National Association of Nigerian Students) kept quiet. The same hide and seek they played during the ASUU strike. Most times, the Nigerian Youths are the ones used for electoral malpractice, violence and propaganda. Many of them engage in PDP vs APC war online on issues that should not warrant such unecessary and useless show of shame by them. Many of them have nothing to show for in their life other than being cultist which they brag about while the Nation is in shambles.

The nigerian Youths need serious re-orientation in many facets of life before they can fully beat their chest to say we are ready for serious leadership except they want to continue in the foot steps of those who have kept this country the way it is.
