Bros your ranting are seriously resembling that of a sycophant (the same genre of people who have led past leaders astray and currently leading Jonathan). We trusted your vision to provide some sort of direction for young people in Nigeria being one yourself, now, all of a sudden you have gone partisan (there is no other way to describe your recent actions) – you are causing much more damage than any good to whatever credibility our common cause has garnered. Rethink your position else, we will give up on you. We need to review principles. We need if we must, provide an unbiased platform for all to express their aspirations (and we on an individual or collective basis decide which way to go). Bros, the next one will mention names- wetin sef?
Is enough not enough? #enoughisenough o!
In case you do not know, there is a gathering storm in Nigeria and young people are at the centre of the crusade for a better Nigeria.
A simple Google search will reveal a myriad of sources of information on the many things young people are doing to save their fatherland (motherland if you choose) from the cabal who run Nigeria as a family business and have inhibited the socio-economic growth natural of a country of diverse human, natural and material resources as Nigeria.
I am a supporter of the New Nigeria crusade shrouded in in many campaigns including:
# EnoughIsEnough
#LightupNigeria
We are creating a revolution to birth the Nigeria we deserve, the Nigeria of our dreams.
The following was circulated about an hour ago by concerned young people in Nigeria. I support the demands being a young person myself desirous of change and development in my fatherland. I have included my name in the signature below and I implore you to add your voice and acts to this campaign.
Nigeria is ours, we should seize it from the despots.

March 16 is the date that young Nigerians will make their voices heard
#weneedfuel #lightupnigeria #whereisyaradua #enoughisenough!
Fellow Young Nigerians,
Did you know that, in Nigeria , young people are in the majority? Did you know that young people below 35 make up more than 70 per cent of the population? You know what that means? It means we have the power to actually make things happen!
So, how come we are doing nothing about the many problems that have hit our nation in the past few months?
Is it enough to make noise on Facebook, Twitter, websites, BBMs, blogs and others where no one is listening? How come it’s the Wole Soyinkas, the Femi Falanas and the Tunde Bakares that are fighting for us? Why do we allow ourselves to be branded as the do-nothing generation?
Like someone said recently, how can we be so talented individually and yet so disillusioned and disdained collectively? We all know the reason – we have been told that there is nothing we can do about the status quo; that the cabal is too strong. Well, that is a lie. Read the rest of this entry »

The theme of this year’s International Youth Day -Sustainability: Our Challenge. Our Future- is a global call to action for young men and women. Our world faces multiple interconnected crises with severe and far-reaching impacts that fall disproportionately on the young.
In 2007, for example, youth comprised 25 per cent of the world’s working age population yet accounted for 40 per cent of the unemployed. The global economic downturn means that, in the near term, youth unemployment will continue to climb. Unemployment rates tell only part of the story, especially for the vast majority of youth who live in developing countries. For them, informal, insecure and low-wage employment is the norm, not the exception. Read the rest of this entry »
