THE NIGERIAN YOUTH

Good afternoon people
Can a lazy Nigerian Youth do exploits for his country?
This is the first question I asked myself when I heard how President Mohammadu Buhari described the youth of NIGERIA,...THE GIANT OF AFRICA.....THE LARGEST ECONOMY IN WEST AFRICA and above all THE COUNTRY THAT HE LEADS.

Then I went on to do a count on the youth of today, who are making it BIG, youth who are carving out niches for themselves in order to uphold the nation's status and maintain its good name and I realized that they are innumerable. I mean if the Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, then WizKid wont have been where he is today. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, Blessing Okagbare wont have gotten to where she is today. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, Linda Ikeji wont have gotten to where she is today. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, the Super Eagles wont have qualified in the World Cup. If Nigerian Youth are truly lazy, the paralympians wont have brought home any gold medal. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, I wont be here posting this write up. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, Folarin Falana FalzTheBadGuy wont have been called to bar. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, we would not have had millions of them working in the biggest firms we know today. If Nigerian Youth were truly lazy, TY Bello will not have brought Jumoke a bread seller to limelight. If Nigerian Youth were Lazy then they wont have been part of the people that voted PMB into power. If Nigerian Youth were lazy then none of them would have had the courage to develop content for social media and thereby get popular. If a Nigerian Youth was truly lazy he wont have had the courage to break a record as a DJ. If a Nigerian Youth was lazy we wont have had corp members, young pastors, medical doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, pilots, and so on.

Nigerian Youth are the powerhouse of the country. They stand for energy, brains, talent, guts, intellect, ideas. The man who calls them lazy....I wonder if he skipped the age of 18 to 30 while growing up. I wonder if he suddenly became an old man overnight. Nobody grows up completely without being a youth.The Youthful stage is the afternoon of a man's life. Early in the morning of life, is when a child is born. Afternoon is when the child becomes a teenager, and then a youth. The evening is when a man is in his 40s and the night is when a man grows very very old and age.

In conlusion The Youth of Nigeria are the future, The Youth of Nigeria are the powerhouse of Nigeria. Nigeria is a cell and the Youth are the mitochondrion as well as the nucleus. Without the youth of Nigeria there will be NO NIGERIA.
