NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE NOT READY TO LEAD .........

Buhari is 72years old , he should be playing with his grandchildren in peace .
Tony Anenih is 81 ,what is he still doing in PDP ??
Obasanjo is 76 , he should stop forming boss and age gracefully on his farm.
These old men should give way to the youths !
These are the comments I hear from the Nigerian youth on a daily basis .....

First of all , I must say I am in my very early 20's , so I share a part of the uninformed sentiments every Nigerian express but I just want us to ask ourselves some questions , perhaps we might be able to agree at a point .

We want to rule as youths, how many of us understand the concept of democracy ??
How many of us belong to a political party ??
How many of us understand how political systems operate ??
Perhaps , how many of us want to be local ward councillors??
How many of the youths based in the major cities in Nigeria can correctly state their Indigenous States and Local Government ??
How many of us listen to the news, read the newspapers or get online news ??

My last question, how many of us are responsible ???

These questions sound funny, seems politically and socially outdated but I must inform us that true leadership involves responsibility and diligence .

Let us access ourselves .

The Average Nigerian youth is very greedy. All we want is to be governors , senators , members of the house of reps, and the president forgetting the fact that political positioning take a process and a diligent one at that. (I know we must have inherited that trait from our fathers who are currently running the affairs).
Its not by magic , nobody will come to our fathers' house to give us a gubernatorial ticket.
Fellow Nigerian youths , We need to work hard and be informed .

First is to make our voices strong and very audible to the Nations , then go to claim our rightful place..
Nobody is willing to give us what is rightfully ours by mere talks and rants . We can only claim it by Personal Involvement in the process and intellectual negotiations...

All that most of us do is to take sides with a political party that we know has a higher chance of winning at the polls, then support them for the elections so as to get peanuts and after the elections , we go back to wait for another election .

We need to be faithful, diligent and responsible because true leadership is a great responsibility .
Also, if we do not want to end up like our fathers who only achieve personal riches (whom we are already having some their traits) , we have to be intelligent and selfless.
