Arise O Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello(36), Balewa (34), Okotie-Eboh (27), and Enahoro(27) led d struggle for independence after d deathof Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at d time. In 1966,d first coup was led by: Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28),Theophilus Danjuma (28), Babangida (25), NanvenGarba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu MusaYaradua (23) and brought into power Gowon (32),Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29), Buhari (24). Most of the military administrators who governed d states under d successive military regimes, most of whom are governors now, were under 30 years.The brief democratic dispensation which interjected d military interregnums also saw d House of Representatives in particular populated by majority of members under 30 years as well as some senators. Under 30s were also not in short supply with appointments, we have examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth. NOW: Why is it that this age bracket is today still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes ? Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB ? Why is it that this age bracket is today still sagging their trousers ? Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs ? Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of political parties ? Why is it that this age bracket is today still incapable of feeding itself ? Why Cant Our Youths become that Leaders of Tomorrow we Sang In School, Why are All those 1960 Leaders Still The Leaders Of Our Country in this 2014 and they still plan contesting for posts In d forthcoming Elections in 2015. Why is it that our youth cant Stand with One Voice ! Rebroadcast this if u support & let it get to.... UN,AU, CNN & the World News. Now Egyptian Youths Are Free.Re-Broadcast if U support Me! 4
