[/b]POLITICAL DEBATE; a tool for making the right choice.[b]

[/b]By Godwin Akwuobi.[b]

I want to make it clear that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria but something is obviously wrong with some of her inhabitants.
There is nothing wrong with head of state but there is something obviously wrong with the state of head.
The only change we need in Nigeria is to change our mindset of disbelieve and hopelessness towards Nigeria. We need to rekindle the hope of survival and believe in Nigeria, only then can we get involved in building and rejuvenating the current dilapidated state of Nigeria.
Over the years, we have engaged in democracy but it seemed like ever since then we have been stagnant and unfortunate with all the leaders we have elected; this is simply because we have voted blindly. We have voted out of bias and ethnic sentiments, yet we live in one nation and at the end of the election everyone in the nation suffers the aftermath of their votes. This has happened over time that we have seen it as a tradition and now it is a norm to suffer and smile without any hope of help or liberation.
It is time we dragged political aspirants to a debate, stand them up, put them under duress and watch them challenge each other, showcase their level of exposure and capacity. We need to hear this people speak and then without being biased decide to whom our votes go to.
If there is anyone that will change Nigeria, then it should be a person that have a good understanding of the age we are in, and he must be ready to key into it.
This is the era of ICT, inventions and innovations. All the nations that are doing well in the world in this present age are nations that recognized the age we are in and they are exploiting it.
The era of industrialization is over, therefore natural resources trading have gone obsolete. That does not mean that they are not important and valuable but we should learn to flow with the tide and not against it.
Trust me, there is no other way to ascertain that one person that will change the current state of Nigeria if not through political debate.
It’s high time Nigerians embrace political debate; this is a platform where corns are separated from the wheat. This is a platform where critical decisions are made. This is a platform where we can ascertain the intellectual echelon, mental capacity and the level of intelligence and exposure of a candidate that will have our votes.
Political debate is very important because it gives the masses the avenue to participate, become abreast in politics and as well get to ask critical questions that border them.
It is time all the young person in Nigeria got involved not just in politics but in rebuilding Nigeria. We are the once with the key that has held Nigeria in captivity, we either break it or allow it to linger. We are brilliant and we are the future, it’s time we started calling the shots. It is time we collectively began making policies that will change Nigeria. We can no longer stand and watch, we need to organize ourselves and save Nigeria because, we have the capacity to do so. We have allowed the old enough, it’s time for their retirement.

[/b]In conclusion[b]

If we must change Nigeria then we must change our mindset, we must participate in nation building from all level, and we must embrace political debate.
Currently, NYD is organizing a revolutionary political debate that will have all the presidential candidates debate in the presence of over 100,000 Nigerians in Abuja by December. This is going to be one of the biggest debates in the history of Nigeria as a nation.
Therefore, this is a call to all young persons and every organization in Nigeria that is interested in the progress of her nation to partner with NYD to make this happen.
I believe in Nigeria and I am convinced that Nigeria will be great again.
