FORSAKEN LEADERS.

      I grew up to the regular saying-"Children are the Leaders of Tomorrow". I used to envision what it would feel like to actually lead a Country, that is Great and Beautiful like Nigeria. Or what it would actually look like to see someone in my age group,or a little bit older than I was,rule the Country. But unfortunately,those were just day dreams of a passionate Child,that had no understanding as of then,how People that ought to be Father figures,treat their own Future Leaders.

         A Great Man I know once said- " we love Nigeria not because it is great,but because it is our own" ,A very key food for thought I must admit. But then there are a lot of questions that keeps running through my mind of recent. Do we really love Nigeria? Are the Youths truly Leaders of Tomorrow? And will our selfish,older Politicians ever let us posses the right to Leadership?

      Truth is,We as Youths are to be blamed for the deteriorating Economy and bad leadership we are experiencing. It is unfortunate,we do not realize our rights to get involved in the political affairs of the Country. If only we would not sit idle and let Tyrants take hold of the Nation , Nigeria would be The dream Land we all hope for.

     However,it is unfortunate,that the Youths that are supposed to stand up tall,and fight for their rights by taking right appropriate actions,just sit around and play cards on the same table with the Leaders that cause us pains. Instead of becoming Political heroes,you choose to become Political thugs. How then,do you think those Tyrants would ever let us rule. It is a pity we no longer have our rights to Leadership, because some shallow minded Youths, exchanged it for a plate of porridge.

    How then,do you think you can come out with your head's held up hight to request power. We lost that right when we started dancing to the beat of their drums. Why can't a 35 years old rule? Must it be an 80 year old. The slogan "Not too young to run" was introduced sometime in the year 2017,but are the Youths truly getting involved? Obviously not. Forgive me to say but the oil of leadership on our head has been sold out. And the only way to get it back,is when we start doing the right thing.

      The only way out of our dilemma, is by saying No to all their evil and selfish demands and standing by our words. The Leaders up there you are supporting,do not have our good interest at heart. If They did,you won't be sent to disturb an election,you won't be made a Thug,your Friend's and Family won't be killed in a Political war. Your towns won't be raided by Herdsmen. Enough of sitting back and just lamenting,you can choose to make a difference right now.

     I don't want to perish as a forsaken Leader,and I am sure you would not want  that too. Let us get involved with the "Not too Young to run" campaign. The power of the Nation lies on our Shoulders,if only every Youth would see what He or She possesses. Nigeria is our own; selfish, corrupt Tyrants have no right whatsoever to make it a Death Land,War Zone and a Desert. We must make a decision;To either remain forsaken or choose to make a change,so that the Generations after Us would sing our legacy. Which would you prefer. Think about it.
