Nigerian youths are the people facing first hand the economic,social and political decay in this Nation.
It is we, the youths who don't have jobs,who are worried about our bleak future, who do not know how we would cater for our children, who cannot afford descent accommodation because of the high cost of living, we live without social security and without hope.
What would happen to us by the year 2020,if we continue to derail this way, Chinua Achebe once wrote "Nigeria is a country that has fallen down". I ask "who would help raise this giant,"would Hercules come down from Olympus?
Power is enshrined in the people, says the doctrine of democracy, however our corrupt leaders continue to cover our eyes with scales so we do not know our rights. Enough is Enough.
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare,have said Nigeria will not be able to move forward without virile social activism by its citizens. The sacrifices of patriots such as M.K.O Abiola, Kudirat Abiola, Gani Fawehinmi and other past leaders must not be the end of social activism.
Prof. Wole Soyinka, further noted that Syria and Greece are smaller countries than Nigeria, but when "push comes to shove," they fight for their rights because they know they have been corrupted and stolen blind by their leaders. So they say 'no, no more',day after day.
In 1970, China actually had a per capita income lower than Nigeria. Today, China holds $2.3 trillion in its reserve accounts, only good leadership accounted for such transformation.
If you a Nigerian and you want to fight for your rights by constantly engaging your local, state and federal government, then join the Nigerian Youth Development Initiative, all you have to do is follow this link http://m.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_140664993008&refid=27 and invite everyone you know too.
