The campaign for true Democracy is getting strong
We have been patient for too long
Everything in the Country is going wrong
Unbroken and unbowed – Nigerians stand strong
At last, 2019 is by the corner – the time is right
That crucial decision that would make things right
Tired of analyzing failed old men, which is wrong or right
The change of an Era is about to go down right.
Nigeria is endowed with young talented people who are doing great in their various fields such as, Engineering, Education, Trading, Agriculture, Entrepreneurship among others, except in politics.
I mean it when I said except politics. The few young people who are on the corridors of powers are certainly not in power because they don’t even know what goes on in there.
They are not too different from being house Boys and Girls. The old men will not allow or listen to them but a command, obey the instructions and nothing more.
The argument has always been that young people are not matured nor experienced enough to handle a complex Country as Nigeria (but they are mature and experience in sleeping on duty or in office). This sort of assumption is a calculated attempt to blackmail the Young people into accepting that they are incapable by those who gained power at their very young age but never plan to relinquish or quit the stage for others to come in. (Atiku at 52 was a vice president, and went to become president again at 72) “think”.
Today, Nigeria Youths are merely object of voting instruments and have been confined as political thugs, errands boys and girls in the name of personal assistants, Senior special assistants on this and that.
It is only in my dear Country NIGERIA you are eligible to vote when you are 18 years but you cannot aspire to contest for leadership unless you are 35 years old, even at 35, there are offices you cannot aspire for, is this not ridiculous?
If that is the case, the same constitution which was deviously crafted to stop the Young people from aspiring for leadership should also say that, eligibility to vote is when a person turns 35 years.
The old politicians who are all same and friends irrespective of which political parties they belong do not only use age as barrier to prevent young people from aspiring for leadership, they invented all kinds of tactics such as Ethnic divide, Religious divide, political violence, money politics, rigging, diabolical means and so on to put fears in young people.
The same old people the Young are killing themselves for are sensitive enough and have started aligning, horse trading and forming coalition to forge a common front ahead of 2019 just like they did in the last election.
Why can’t the Young Nigerians also adopt this aged long strategy to unite to get back a Country that rightly belongs to us. For how long do we continue to be pawns in the hands of these political dealers?
