A GIGANTIC YOUTH WITH A CLAY FEET..! (by aby okoeguale) The big news this week was the inauguration of the National Conference, but the deaths of more than 16 young applicants who died in Abuja and other venues, during the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS recruitment exercise, overshadowed it. This tragedy mirrors the desperate situation of Nigeria. One only hopes that this unfortunate loss of lives, coupled with the incessant Boko Haram killings and other youth-based violence, would serve as a wake-up call to the summiteers, that this country needs a new governance paradigm. If the conference cannot produce that, then the over N7 billion invested in it would amount to another colossal waste of our scarce national resources. It is an irony that each delegate would earn a whopping N12 million for the 3-month duration of the conference. By conservative estimates, N12 million is enough to provide self-employment for 12 resourceful graduates, and N7 billion could do likewise. These hapless chaps paid N1,000.00 (One Thousand Naira) processing fee each. So, the Nigerian Immigration Service must have made quite some money, considering that in Lagos and Abuja alone, over 125,000 applicants turned up. We may be looking at millions of Naira that this monetised recruitment exercise generated for the NIS. There was record turnout in each of the 34 states for just 3,000 slots that the NIS advertised. The alarming job application horror is a clear evidence of the inability of our public institutions to manage events, resulting in poor crowd control and avoidable deaths through stampede. This is not an isolated case, it is a regular occurrence.Sometimes i wonder why these GIGANTIC YOUTH can not make the desired change Nigerians need at this TIME,can this youths TAKE UP THE REVOLUTION NIGERIA NEEDS AT THIS TIME,,BUT WHY DO THEY HAVE A CLAY FEET...?WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LET THE FEDERAL OF NIGERIA DUPE THEM OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY?,all this questions needs to b answered.it is unfortunate that this same youth take UP arms upon themselves...LETTING those who have ruined their future go scort free...ARE THEY BLINDFOLDED OR INCAPACITATED TO THAT EXTENT THEY CANNOT FIGHT FOR THEIR FUTURE?...WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN YOUTH? OR IS IT A CASE OF I NOR WON DIE...I WON GO HEAVEN...GEEZ..IT SUCKS..BUT WAIT OHHH IF U NOR WON die why u come go join BAD GANG or cult when u can b killed at any given SECONDS.My heart bleeds for my father land,,i eat nigeria,,,i sleep nigeria,,,i breath nigeria,,,i dream nigeria,,,i live for nigeria.,,,God bless Nigeria,,,!...aby okoeguale.
