Arise, Nigerian Youths!

The youths are the leaders of tomorrow, a tomorrow that can only be imagined by the elders of today of which they may not be part off. The youth form the powerful strata of any society ,the youths in any society plays an indispensable role in the dynamic changes that occurs in that society. The power the youths hold is usually seen when they need a change in the order of things.

The Nigeria youth must rise up as a matter of urgency and not continue on their slumbering bed and believing in the everyday statement of our dear political class " The youth are the leaders of tomorrow".

The same political class that has embezzled the treasury, destabilized our economy to enrich their families and associates with the resources meant to create jobs and social amenities that would have made life worth living for the Nigeria youth.

The political class has rather turned our agile, vigorous able youth into miscreants and making them jobless so they can continue to be their political thugs and make them vulnerable in involving in the social inequalities in our society.

How long will our government continue to deny our intellectual and virile youth employment opportunities?

Do I have to be used as a "political tout" before I can be compensated with an employment opportunity? Do the able and agile youths have to be involved in Kidnapping, oil bunkering, terrorism or

even disrupt the nation's peace before the government would listen to their plea and cry ?

Does my sister have to sleep with someone before she can get a job ? after going through unpalatable years in the Nigerian university and undergoing a compulsory one year National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) to serve the country ?

I weep eachday‎, asking myself when will my dear country serve me? I feel sad seeing my medical doctor friend turned political nuisance in our society, my dear accountant turned bus conductor, my lawyer friend turned political analyst at the newspaper stand and my engineer friend turned labourer in the factory.

I weep and cry seeing these great intellectual youths with their levels of education who ought to be gainfully useful to the Nigerian economy and contribute their intellectual sagacity to the growth of our dear country have now turned to a domestic nuisance in our society.

It is a worrisome situation and makes me ask, "does the Nigeria government have any plan for the Nigeria youth? For any government to be termed serious, youth employment and development should be their uptmost priority. It's the only achievement that can sustain the economy and the nation.

The Nigerian government at all levels should desist from deceiving the youths through the creation of jobs on paper but rather the government should create visible and meaningful

employment for the youth.
God Bless the Nigeria Youth
God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria.
