hehe....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 vigils). 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 Iyke, Ali Baba 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.
Even 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, 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. Even if some of my
intentions are 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.
