Nigerian Youths: Come, let us reason together
*He is 31 years old*
Austria recently made history by electing the World's Youngest President, his name is Sebastian Kurz. He is just 31 years old and with him is his girlfriend Susanne.
Before the election, he was the country's Foreign Minister.
Why are Nigerian youths contented with being ass lickers, praise singers and Special Assistants on social media? Youths else where on the globe are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for the new frontier.
From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youths.
Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world.
The bar has been raised in Austria that elected a 31 years old man recently
A 31 years old man in Nigeria is probably in his parents house, unemployed and broke, eating free food and not bothered.
The 31 old Nigerian man is feeling big supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in) on Facebook without seeing the nexus between the failed leadership and present unemployment predicament.
I weep for our youths many of whom are wasting away forgetting that time waits for no one.
The condition in Nigeria is not helping matters though and then my generation is not ready to push for change.
Those who have bank jobs think they are on top of the world, forgetting that the owners of the banks were Billionaires at their age.
The women get married and drive their husband's cars and think they have arrived.
Those who work in IOCs see themselves as great achievers, not knowing that they are slaves.
I ask myself and other young people reading this, what are you doing with your life?
Are you happy with the way Nigeria is at the moment?
What are you doing to push for change?
I wish you a Thought Provoking month.
