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.
