Ive actually taken my time to Study a lot in d street of Nigeria Politics but my Question is WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS and Learn from the life of Our Heroes... Awolowo (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36), Balewa (34), Okotie-Eboh (27), Enahoro (27) led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time. In 1966, the first coup was led by: Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23) and brought into power Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29) and Bukhari (24). Most of the military administrators who governed the States under the successive military regimes, most of whom are Governors now, were under 30 years. The brief Democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the 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. NOW: Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting pocket money from their parents? Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB? Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs, not yet married? Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wing of political parties? Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices? Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions? We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future. THINK ...............
