Replying IBB on Nigerian youths

As far as I am concerned, it is very unfair for our aged and so- called experienced leaders to keep telling youths that they don’t have “the know how” to rule this nation, while they deliberately keep denying the youths the right to build their own capacity so as to acquire this “know how” in […]

As far as I am concerned, it is very unfair for our aged and so- called experienced leaders to keep telling youths that they don’t have “the know how” to rule this nation, while they deliberately keep denying the youths the right to build their own capacity so as to acquire this “know how” in question. It is like a teacher failing a student he poorly or never taught at all in class. No one in this world is born with knowledge, skills or expertise. We all learn everything here in the world through practice, which encompasses trying and failing and making a lot of mistakes and learning from those mistakes.

Therefore, my fellow Nigerian youth join me in telling IBB and his fellow recycled leaders that Nigerian youths have all it takes to rule this nation, but only if they would be given the chance to do so by those who have already ruled and failed the nation; those who think God created Nigeria only for their own rule and those they feel safe to impose into power.
