Topic: A wake-up call for Nigeria youths (Read 371 times)

The situation of Nigeria currently don pass a wake up call for the youths,yes e dey certain say for the youths to reach the top dem gat strive with goal and determination to achieve a leadership position in the society.Free and fair election no dey Naija again bribery and corruption don wreck the process na just change we need from each youth and the leaders,whereby during election you go see youths dey vote for the party wey get the highest pay for instance #4000 sometimes I go just dey marvel if whether na dat peanut moni go feed the person throughout the first 4 tenure before na anoda election.So all I dey try talk be say Nigeria youths gat change that poor mindset during election and vote a trustworthy candidate.Them say change begins with you,our leaders really suppose get this statement into their brain and put it to practice to achieve a better Nigeria.

Chairman wetin u dom talk here make sense, but this knowledge wey u get now no be everybody get am oo, I no know if I go say then those men get sense to create history for the future and for everybody to also enjoy am Dem been dey fearless they were hungry to make a difference no matter the cost and many of them come be hero of the country, but since then check how many youths wan live to answer hero how many wan live selflessness serve the country. Our youths now prioritize money and material things shebi no be still the old men dey use the youths.

Honestly the youths are not ready to make a difference in the same election na youths go still carry arms dey kill fellow youths because one old man dom show them love.
The youths are not ready to make history they wan today all at a time, we need to change our mindset to make a difference.

I don't believe any more bro in changes. What is wrong with Nigeria is bigger than what you and you can solve. It has to be a collective fight. But the country is difficult, and anyone would prefer bribery, money for the place of their freedom. The youth need money to survive while the politicians has held the stream of income for the youth so that the only way for them is to take bribes and do their bidding.

The biggest problem is that most of politicians they are mentors to the youth we are pushing to take over. The common SUG politic in the university has failed including the departmental and faculty excos too. Are they not youths? If they can't deliver the school elections, is it the country, they can rule effectively? I feel that they will do worst.

OP thanks for the clarion call on the Youth of this country,  to me you no go just blame the old leaders for not living office for the youths,  blame the youths of Nigeria for not taking government into their hands, we no go wait for them to handover to us, pawa is no given,u take am by force or through negotiation. The youths for naija no dey United and na de Oldman mk us not to unite to fight common front, dem impoverished us so we go rely on them to survive so dey fit control us anyhow.  If you bin follow the Apc primaries you go see how youths dey step-down for Tinubu bcos him give dem money to stepdown , for this country Youth no dey believe say we go fit rule, in those days Youths dey decide for this country but now, youths no get time we believe say our country no believe in youths in leadership, so many just focus on their business, government and election no really concern them. Is very bad, no matter what let's try to get involved in government activities one day we go get over. We need dey close to learn how to know how to overtake the government of this country. Mk we no lose hope.

U dey yan sae, u don't know di matter for di kwantri. No bi dis Nigeria some youth sae make do thing to make di country better nai some other youths from back yard and betrayed you and I. The old politicians know how dem dey divide di country.. dis economics situation wey dey happened now sef na for di election that is coming forth. Dem wan use am buy vote very well. Di politicians have enough of the new Naira banknotes in their possession.

Yes he's right. The youth of this generation is in a mess we all have suffered a lot.
That's why you see most youth doing fraud.
I listen to a song that says NIGERIA GA-GA, POOR MAN DEY SUF-FER SUF-FER PO-SA PO-SA

What you have said is the truth and nothing but the truth. I would like to add that, I think that the youth of this generation is the youth that has seen the most shege. The youths of this generation have suffered so much. It seems like we are paying for the sins of the founding fathers and the fathers after them. We have endured too many BS and right now our backs are against the wall. This is how far we can go. One more nonsense(election rigging) from the "fathers" and we will have no other option than to turn back and fight.

This thing wey you talk na better talk oo, as I read am my body really sweet me well well, but I really wish say all the youth go abide by it,
Papa wey don old no go retire and rest, Dem go want hold the power forever,
Make the youth come together make we collect this mantle of leadership from this old wicked leaders wey no care about us, no be fight we go use collect power oo, no be by talk talk oo, but na with our PVC, I urge all of us to get our PVC so we fit vote out this old men,

Make we shun tribalism, ethnic groups, religious group, make we stand and vote in our preferred candidates, so that we no suffer again, we Don too suffer now, na wa oo.

It's time for we to collect this mantle of leadership, na our turn ...

Dis talk wey OP drop lik dis don burst my logo enta my bone marrow cum mk shame dey catch me on top seeing say even at dis youthful age wey I dey I no even get chance to even hold any leadership position for ma own comuniti not to talk of counsellor position sef for local level based on how dis old men dem wey dey for political positions since independence don mk am luk lik youths no fit get naytin useful to offa for governance until Dem done dey old. It dey pain me wen I hear dis proverb wey Dem dey tk deciv us say" wetin elder sit down see say small pikin no fit see am even if him climb tree", cos if wetin d elder dey see na beta tin den him for no sit down dey luk am him for get up.
So youths we gat change our narrative, perspective, paradigm and mentality towards governance, if not dis old men go continue to dey rule nd replace Demselvs with their children children while di common man continue bcomin common. If we all involve for di politics of our con3 directly or indirectly by the next decade to com we go see say youths go start to d man beta political positions for we con3.
Naija youths It's time to take away the FEARs!

The real youth of Nigeria can't win election in Nigeria bcuz di bad Youth which is used by di politicians are using all means to win election for their corrupt leaders. But that not withstanding, this year election go be different all together. Peter Obi nai be di pple choice. And im go win the election.

I believe Nigeria will surely get it right this time around, so that other countries wil not look down on us than to praise us anywhere we go. Now is 45 days to presidential election, i guess many youths are very ready to make things work smoothly in their various unit to ensure they monitor the election not to allow bad things happen. It will be difficult for the youths to miss it , becos the right candidate has already showcased what Nigeria want and he is ready to make them happen in his government.

We no supposed they fear for our rights o, this is our country and together we will take it back.
Gone are the days the military ruled us and our rights were violated, now Wil are in a democratic government with a constitution to back up our rights and civil responsibilities.
This is our father land it's for the youths, the children and adults not for a particular set of people that have been in power recycling themselves.
This election is a different one and I know Nigeria youths will rise and make their votes count.
Voting competence over party factor. Voting a man that can pilot the affairs of this country not minding his tribe or religion

Due to the military regime as of then, there was even fear among the leaders of then, and they obeyed the laws because if they neglected the law, they would face penalties ASAP. For example, even Obasanjo was a prisoner before Leta became president after his sentence was completed.

After the military regime, things were still much better, but as time went on, things changed, and up until now, corruption, looting of money, and killing are at high rates.

One problem I see with Nigerian politicians is godfatherism, which makes the leaders misbehave most of the time. The problem of Nigeria triggered by the leaders mindset can equally affects the youths because if they possibly attain power, they are going to have their own selfish interests too.

Pet Obi is going to have the majority of votes; I pray he wins.

As I read this thin, my bodi weak because we youths don too give dis old men time to de rule us anyhow.

For School, dem de tell us we be leaders of tomorrow, but people wey dey since yesterday never leave space for people wey de today talk less of us we go de expect to lead tomorrow.

We really need to wake up and make decisions ourselves, because the way d way technology don advanced, na we youths know how we go take move dis country go another level because all dose advance countries na youth de lead dem, so for we to move go were people de go na to follow who know road, therefore we need to wake up.

Boss sorry oo
We no dey support Obi because him be youth but we dey put for front because na him dey trusted and educated among those three old men, basically e get some things wey boiz dey want make him go, but wetin i noticed be say this old men no gree removed hands make youth take over why because dem believe say if we take over nothing for them again and some people take as in heritage, weda we like it or not dem must be president, oya think wetin this kind person dey talk and if e happened say him go now wetin you think say we go be for him eyes, and besides dem never really give us chance to rule for this we country rather na only one sets of people dey always rules abi we no follow this we country again?

Op this matter you brought up really make me think tins plenty. Na a better tin to they see youth they rule ooo, and
we need seriously to wake on top that matter to fight for the opportunity. but my question is that will that solve our problems in this country? The Youths of nowadays are not like  those youths that rule doing the military region, and infact na military region they were, where military control and do whatever they wish.many youth of nowadays are so eager to make it make it at once, so many of them have failed the opportunity given them from ground.

Many youth have been given opportunity but they fuckup due to their selfishness.let make dimeji bankole for example he was given opportunity once to become speaker of house of representatives but last last he fuck up by involving in fraud. Many cases like this done happen for even my local government.they always miss uses the little opportunity they get from masses. The mean thing make just vote for the right person.

For this naija I no sure say that line wey them say "we are the leaders of tomorrow" e still dy oh because if you check am well the youth dy even find am hard to see for chop self, after you manage escape school finish work self you no go see, tell me why some youth wey hungry and depression don scatter there brain-box no go accept to do dirsty job for politicians all in the name of to get the least #1500 make them take sustain?

The matter wey we dy try discuss here no be come chop oh, we youth wey think say e go better tomorrow don give up that hope oh, I mean some youth. No matter how we youths wake up reach e still get some youth wey never ready to wake up because that bad side still dy itch them for head, for person to tell me say make I just go stand for one line say the least #500 go reach me for my own thumb printing too, ah, nah sell I sell myself if I try am oh. This contri difficult like video game wey them put for VERY HARD oh.

At this point of our country. Every youth gats wise up for this country because normally we done too suffer, These old politicians no they carry our matter for mind, them no reason us o, weda we dey suffer or not, they just dey after there personal interest,

Now e no go be business as usual, wey we dey sit down for house watch movie on election Day, with the mindset say our votes no go count,
This time we gats ready come out vote for the candidate wey we know say e go move our country forward, no sell your vote for peanuts, becos na another 8 years of suffering be that,  make we vote who fit move this our country forward so things go better for all of us.

If we really wan wake up the youth then we no suppose dey suggest Peter obi as candidate to them to vote. Peter obi isn't a youth, he's 61 years officially and who knows if that age has been faked or not as 90% of Nigerians no dey use their real age. The faking dey start from university days so dem go dey longer for government work wey Politics na also one of them. This election isn't about youthfulness because if na him none of the 3 top candidate qualified.

We go fight for youth president later and make the youth start they put interest so we go get them plenty and get option to choice from instead of falling back to who we think is closest to a youth. That year wey this youths rule, nobody give them na dem stand up fight for am so if we want the same thing then make we stand up our own and fight for it .

Youths for Nigeria na dem don sell their right of leadership give these old men wey come turn am to their family right. After the Military Regime wey Obasanjo win na that time the youths suppose to start to ginger but fear say I no won die,I won enjoy life,I never marry,I never born pikin e.t.c make we look this old men turn this country upside down. Obi na the man wey go fit help this country small,so make we go vote am and counsel those political thugs on the leadership of youth government instead of them to dey gamble with their future. No be to buy form,people dey wey fit sponsor elections.

if we settle down look this matter you get point, but nigeria of that time no be waiting we get now bwe that, the way this people they now It will be difficult for a youth to become president one election now ba thing of money how many people actually get money to buy the ticket talk more of the campaigning and the rest, it is going to be more difficult than you expected, with time we hope things can change.

Wetin I know be say Dem no dey tell person, person go learn lesson. As you rightly state, the first president of naija, Nnamdi Azikiwe was a youth and from the litter history we fit gather about am, na person wey try e best to not allow the Western ways, propaganda and manifestos sway am despite say nah their im do him education.
 Sorry to say but at present, a naija youth dey more concerned about the financial benefits wey go dey attached if given opportunity to enter power and I feel say doz our fadas Dem wey dey seat no go wan give up easily as e be like say no serious tin fit come out.
 For radio today, I hear wan youth dey boldly say e go collect in exchange for im vote if one of dis old daddies wet im pocket.

Waiting them dey think for this country politics na for an old age not for the youths that's why dem no want to give any youth to become a leader and make things easy mostly now  before you see any youth to become a leader him family member most be among the politics wey go do ojoro for am, we have to shine our eyes if we still not vote for the right person we are going to suffer for another good 8 years, na we go choose better person and make things better for this country.

Thank you my brother you use sense talk better as nigeria youth wey you be and you also know your right for the country and base on the matter wey you talk now ehn we get you and we go show them shege say na we the youth get power for the country because no matter waiting go happen for the country now the youth must attend to issues, so as he stands now make we try to get pvc because na the Main thing be that because some of the youth base on say they don see shege dey no wan do pvc, abeg as youth wey we be make we try do pvc make we vote for better person wey go change our lifes

I like the way the youths dey really take this things upon themselves but most times the major problem we dey get na with the security agencies wey just dey after taking instructions without considering the consequences trying to please their leader.
This matter make me dey remember October 2020 when the shooting and killings was so open and uptill now nothing has been done about those killings and now those leaders are also coming out for some political positions and it seems we have forgotten about everything that happened then and now we are talking about another election, what a bloody country.
One of the major reasons I feel say dey deprive tye your for coming out for political positions is fear of the unknown and finance.
With this two reasons I think the youths are already crippled and only hopeful and most times we youth don't know how to use power and I could also remember a house of rep member who slapped a pregnant woman in a supermarket and I think we youths just have to be ready to be accountable for every actions and consequences of every action we take.

Everything wey you yarn for here now dey correct my brother. Dis na wake up call for us and we gats stand on the mandate of making the country a resourceful place for us all. Much don happen and still dey happen, we no suppose still dey fold our hands dey watch dey go. Our activeness for dis election period go help us make things better, hope we get d best change dis time around for the prosperity of the nation.

No be lie u talk. Sometime ago, I watch one documentary of d whole independence somtin nd e go shock u d ages way all these men bin dey wen dem come into power. Dem bin dey vry young nd d leadership was good not until, dem start to identify say, power get anode somtin way follo 4 bodi. As dem don taste am, dem no wan leave am again. E jst bad!

We need taste youth leadership again 4 dis country. Some set of ppl nd age grade mo need dey hold dis tin 4 hand as though, na dem sabi pass, na there own or dem get a define line 4 certain understanding on leadership qualities.

Op God will bless u for these thread I think these is the best time wey Nigerian youths go they wise and vote for better person because 70% of people wey no get job in this naija na youth then bii so make we they wise and choose good leader the country

Well i wont say their is no sense in what you are trying to highlight because ever since our problems began as a  nation we have been ruled by this old men that have drag the our country into economic instability and crisis in all sectors of the government.

But the nations current situation is not only crowned to the fact that our leaders are old, a young and vibrant leader like you said can also put the nation into more problems so far as the individual is having the wrong mindset towards the country and being a great leader also is determined by your cabinet members and  we all know even the man with good intentions is still painted black because of the corruptful mind of his cabinet. So everything and everyone in Nigeria currently needs to participate in terms of making things right in country and i pray that we all change from our corruptful ways and always think positive and straight towards making the country a better place for both the youths and even the adults and elderly.

Nigeria currently now is on a crucial stage because any decisions made will determine the faith of the country either for good or for worse. So i would just urge very Nigerians to be very cautious of the future not today and vote the right person they feel can move the nation forward and not backwards. Forget about the money and yes the youth should wake up from their deep slumber and stop fighting and killing for those greedy politicians and think of how we can make Nigeria a better place for everyone.

Wetin u talk make sense, na d time wey youth suppose take d mantle of leadership. But 4 naija, e no go dey easy like that, even d so-called youth no dey serious, dem be a betrayal of themselves, if dem see moni like dis, their wahala don finish. D task go hard bcos Poverty don eat deep 4 Niaja, and e don born corruption among d youth, so fighting for ourselves go hard even if some try 4 beta intention.

Youths wey won do am self no get d popularity, resources/money to do Naija politics, na make we dey look tins as e be like dis jare. Maybe if Obi fit enta, d political space go dey better, I no know. But d youth wey get moni and aluta spirit na dem fit reach there for high risk, how many of dem u don see?

After Nigeria independence in 1960, the first people wey rule Nigeria then na the youths between the age of 27-35years. That time the youths were they ones wey d in charge and na them d take decision and talk wetin go happen for the country then although na military regime that time.

If una come check now, una go find out those people wey rule Nigeria that time in their 30's are still controlling and leading Nigeria till now. wey be sae dem no wan give the youths the mantle of leadership. wey be sae during their time na them d rule as youths and presently d wan d rule us wey be youths d go. Una see as the matter be so, as d wan continue to d do us shege d go.

Presently now, the economy of the country don turn many of the youths to be unemployed, for them not to be able to provide for themselves even for their family join. you go see 40years old man not married and still dependent on his parents for survival. if you come manage the successful as a youths, government or society go tag u as yahoo boi, based on u no fit d successful as a youth for the country due to the know how d country hard reach for you to be successful as a youth.

if to sae we d follow history we supposed know sae Obasanjo, Nnamdi Ezikiwe, Gowon, Ojukwu rule Nigeria at their youthful age at 30's. But in today realities youths are been used by old politicials to carry out their evil plans during election.

This is a wake up call for Nigeria youths during this election. Make we vote for the right candidate wey get a youthful energy for em body. Make we all know sae our future go be better than whatever decision we make today if we kukuma work harder and put things for perspective for our future
