Greatest Nigerian Youths! Shey una go still
answer, Great! When it is clear that most of you guys
are silly, foolish, ignorant, confused, useless and
downright lazy.
Shame wan kill me here on una behalf.
You guys are a Big disappointment to this generation,
and a disgrace to the greatest Nigerian youths of the
50s, 60s and early 70s. Dem swear for Una?.
Most of you guys have become a docile entity that is driven by
the insatiable desire to reap where una no sow, expecting
miracles when you have not worked and seeking help in all the
wrong places( illuminati, native doctors and night vigiles) The
frustration in our humanity is exemplified in the confused non-
ideological and non-intellectual capacity of today’s youths. The
anger of your hunger is not hitting the minds of our youths and
the vexation that has trailed governance nationally is almost
unheard of among our youths even though the new Nigerian
reality is most felt by these same youths. Kai!!! Una Mumu
never Do?
For the past four decades, I have been fighting the course of the
Nigerian youths and I still believe that Nigeria will be saved by
its exceptional youths. After all, many great NigerIan youths
have passed through me and have grown to become masters in
their game. Like, Tunde and Wumi Obe, the great Majek Fashek,
Dede Mabiaku, Gloria Anozie Young, Jim Ike, ALi Baba etc etc.
They all passed through the Charlyboy University.
I have made and encouraged Big Stars who are even Bigger
today. Because of me, millions of Nigeria never gave up on their
dreams, because they have been inspired by my tenacity, my
focus, my hardwork,my consistency, belief in self and my Never
say Die spirit.. So, how can my honourable intentions for the
youths ever be in question. But when I see how so nonchalant
and clueless most of them have become, I sometimes get
demoralized.
When I called the youths to action, to fight to retrieve their
stolen and kidnapped future, I was confronted with youths who
are incapable of taking the bull by the horn and leading
movements geared towards the Nigerian realignment. With the
Social media platforms that cut across facebook, twitter,
whatsapp, instagram; which should be one of the deadliest
weapon against our yahoo yahoo leadership, yet the Nigerian
youths slaked. Rather what did I see, ignorance and an illiterate
bunch that trades on insults, with their horrible english wey dey
purge belle, incapable of moving from the virtual reality to the
reality of their present situation.
When a few exceptional Nigerian youths came to me for support
to lead the protest to fight corruption starting with the National
Assembly I knew that this was the beginning of a new dawn. I
immediately jumped on it. It was purely out of my desire to see
and feel the reawakening of the lost breed of youthful activism
and sustained engagement of old. It became personal. With the
interest of the youths at heart, I saw a platform for sustained
resistance against audacious political criminality to be
presented to those who are ready to change Nigerian from the
top to the bottom. It was done to activate the firebrand spirit
lost to the destructive generational problems; to inform the
youths and ring it loud and clear that the moment of continuing
engagement has come.
Our youths must wake up with the urgency of
now. Leadership is not a gift, it must be earned. You must
show willingness to lead. You must be tenacious. You must
show support to those who take the risk to speak for you
instead of throwing stones. We all should educate ourselves on
good governance and mass mobilization for a sustained
activism because Nigeria is failing and we are known for
notoriously destructive government.
It’s time to stand up and be counted; it is time to say enough is
enough. Governments over the years have succeeded in
creating youths who have absolutely no idea about the
processes that necessitates real success in the society; it is
time to recreate the Student Unionism of old and the major
driving force behind youth empowerment that is capable of
waking the docile sleeping Nigerian youth.
No matter my disappointment from time to time with the youths
of this great country, I will Never quit on you guys no matter
how juvenile you all make out to be. Regardless if my intentions
are some misconstrued, I will always stand firm, because I no
send. I am confident that with my constant appeal for standing
up in defence of your hijacked future you can begin to be
emboldened to be more vocal about your predicament. As a
fada I will never be too far from you. This is a fight we cannot
loose, and we cannot fail. All obstacle placed in our way to
derail this movement will Never succeed in Jesus mighty name.
The Nigerian youths sooner than later will retrieve their stolen
future. I believe in the exceptional youths and I believe in
Nigeria. I shall and must be well again with us, God punish bad
people.
