NIGERIAN YOUTHS; THE BAD CITIZENS WHO WANT TO PRODUCE THE GOOD LEADERS

THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE DURING LATE LAWAL REMEMBRANCE PROGRAM YESTERDAY . THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE TOO MUCH WORDS.

ANYBODY WHO SAW WHAT WAS DONE TO HIGH PROFILE PERSONALITIES/POLITICIANS IN THAT PLACE YESTERDAY WILL PITY NIGERIAN POLITICIANS.

HOW ARE THEY(POLITICIANS) NOT GOING TO BE CORRUPT GIVEN THIS SHAMBLE SYSTEMS WHERE THEY OPERATE UNDER?

WHILE I WATCHED THEM LYNCHING AND MOBBING SHERIFF SHAGAYA AND MANY POLITICIANS AT SIGHT, I THOUGHT THEY WONT TOUCH UNCLE YINKA ALUKO THE RESPECTED GUBERNATORIAL RUNNING MATE TO SENATOR AJIBOLA IN THE LAST ELECTION OWING TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL HAVE SOME SYMPATHY FOR HIM BECAUSE THEY CALLED HIM ORIGINAL HOME BOY.

IN LESS THAN A SECONDS OF MY STANDING WITH HIM, THESE YOUNG MEN ARRIVED LIKE A BEE SWAM AND ENGULFED YINKA ALUKO, THEY OVERPOWERED HIS ENTOURAGE OF HEFTY MEN AND DEMANDED THEIR OWN SHARE AS IF YINKA IS THE PRESENT COMMISSIONER FOR MONEY AFFAIRS IN THE STATE.

AS I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP UNCLE YINKA ALUKO, I STOOD A DISTANCE TO HIM WATCHING OSHO STRUGGLING AMIDST THE "ERU IKU" WHO SURROUNDED HIM. AS I WAS WATCHING AND TAKING THE PICTURES, I WAS ASKING MYSELF.

ARE THESE THE YOUTHS WHO WANT A BETTER COUNTRY?

HOW CAN A PICK POCKETER YOUTH DEMAND FOR AN HONEST AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY FROM A MAN HE OBTAINS AT SIGHT IN ANY PUBLIC FUNCTION?

HOW WILL AN INCORRUPTIBLE POLITICIANS COPE UNDER A SYSTEM LIKE THIS?

THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS I SIGHTED SOME UNIVERSITY GRADUATES AMONG THESE AREA BOYS.

THE ORIENTATION AGENCY MUST RISE UP BEYOND MOUTHSAY AND WORK MAINLY ON OUR YOUTHS FOR REORIENTATION.

WE ARE DOOMED AS A NATION IF THIS CONTINUE UNCHECKED.
