Jovita Ogechinyere Nwabichie RAISING A NEW GENERATION OF PURPOSEFUL AFRICAN LEADERS Permit me to refer to a popular quote which states that, ‘’youths are the leaders of tomorrow’’, and I have been asking myself, when is the tomorrow coming? In my quest to finding a suitable answer to the question, it occurred to me that, when we promise to get the job done tomorrow and that tomorrow becomes today, another tomorrow awaits us in the future until our lives is no more, and there will always be another tomorrow even after we are old and dead. This made me concludes that, there is no future awaiting the youths tomorrow, there is only today because in reality, there is nothing like tomorrow. Tomorrow means forever and forever means no time. Therefore, we must all come to term with reality and know that the only tomorrow we have is today and today means now. The youths must channel its energy into positive ventures, we must never allow frustration take over us in our pursuit for relevance. We must resist every temptation of being part of the problems or being used by others for negative purposes, but should rather channel the energy into pursuing our own agenda and dream of liberating the continent through democratic and electoral processes. We must utilize the resources in our environment to create empowerment, utilize our intellectual prowess to create initiatives, create network within and outside our domain to sell our ideas and harmonize our thoughts to create political movements for change. **********copied**********
