Where Did We Go Wrong? by Vic2Ree(m): 8:11am On Dec 08, 2022 |
Let's reason 2gather! This situation goes beyond *APC, PDP or any political party* Listen to Prof. Wole Soyinka as he says : *'WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?* *WAKE UP NIGERIA YOUTHS!'~~~* "Awolowo was *37* years, Akintola *36,* Ahmadu Bello *36,* Balewa *34,* Okotie-Eboh *27* and Enahoro *27* And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was *42* at the time! In *1966,* the first military coup was led by Nzeogwu who was *29* years and countered by M. Mohammed *28,* T. Danjuma *28,* I. Babangida *25,* J. Garba *23,* Sani Abacha *23,* & Yar'adua *23,* And brought into power Y. Gowon *32,* Ojukwu *33,* Obasanjo *29*, And Buhari *24!* Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under *30* years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under *30!* Under *30's* were also not in short supply with appointments - we have examples of MT Mbu who became Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister at *23*, Pat Utomi who became a Federal Adviser at *27* And so on and so forth! NOW: Why is it that almost all this age bracket is today still *sleeping in 3-seater chairs* in their parents homes? Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting *pocket money* from their parents? Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing *JAMB?* Why is it that this age bracket today still *sagg* their trousers? Why is it that this age bracket is today still *searching for jobs* and not yet *married?* Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be *leaders of youth wings* of political parties? Why is it that this age bracket is today so *docile?* Why is this age bracket today incapable of *feeding* itself? Why is it that this age bracket is today barred from even aspiring to *certain political offices?* Why is it that this age bracket is today *incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable* of asking questions? From *Prof Wole Soyinka.* This is real Food for Thought! *FORWARDED AS RECEIVED.* Copied from Whatsapp |

There were lots of vacuum created by the departing colonialists that needed to be filled, they were few educated 'older' people to fill those vacuum. So educated and half educated young men unavoidably had to fill this slots. Note they were very largely inexperienced and incompetent. They didn't lay the correct foundation for the nation as is evident today. Moreover the whites were more humane they didn't assassinate independence proponents at worst they were imprisoned so there was space for activism. Those leaders mentioned above should be held accountable on how they made the country by hell for its citizens. If a child turns out worse than his father, the father had failed. What you should be comparing is in the areas where there is no restraints like innovation, education, sports, agriculture at al. Fur instance were they more innovative back then than the youths now? 1 Like |
