One of the misery in life is that the life isn't static. It changes as time proceed. To that end,generations changes as life progress and to that extent things experience some dynamism and astute transformation. Its imperative to understand that our present Generational status quo is different from that of our predecessor. One may ask if we have a Doomed Elders who direct our path our our Generation specifically is a Doom one? Be that as it may,One should understand that there present status quo of our generation is saddening and a Generation to think on an go on a Sober Reflection. The Generation where we have brains but no one to turn to their imagination to creation,the Generation we have and Massive unemployment is rampant,the generation with Smile on Social median and Bitterness internally.
The most hazardous event keep happening in this generation. Our generation is the an embarrassing one. I have wondered, how betterment will come when we still maintain the do-or-die stand in our political system. Our generation is what I can described as the generation of doom ! All of what appears as a source of hope for us has been jeopardized by the big men of our country. Under the banner of leadership, they have hindered the progress of our dear country - Nigeria. Is this how it was then ? Was it like this in the past ? Is this how this mirage will continue ? I was not there then in the past doing the days of our fathers, but the history has gisted us on how impacted the past leaders had been. The politics in practice then is quiet different from a game of deceits that is being played nowadays. How I wish I was born by then... Gone are the days.
Our Generation has turn to object of Destruction and an instruments to cause Mayhem in the Country. What did u seek to gain from using our Generation as an agent of Destruction. The Bourgeoisie class has tend to envelope the mind of my Generation in an undiluted manner. They use us to get to the mantle of power and they drop us when the felt like. Our Generation has become just a mere Toothless Bulldog that can bark but cannot bite. The So called political class used us against each other and give us the Ideology of Politics of Calumy and Sycophancy. They do know that in out Unity lies our strength and to that end they will try all means to make sure we aren't united.
My Generation is Generation where we have brains that can made Nigeria one of the most industrialized cointrynin the World but lack Necessary and Adequate support to turn their thinking to Reality. This is a Generation that we have brains that has the initiative to devop technological utensils but see no encouragnt from the society we found ourselves. A Generation whereby once you finish from Tertiary institutions, 75% doesn't have the faith or believe in Government that they will see Employment Opportunities,we have lost hope in the Government.
Anyways, Nigerians, both young ones and elderly persons are known for their Lamentations. We lament when we have problem instead of tackling our challenges. Most of the downfalls that this country has experienced was as a result of poor leadership role. Everybody knows this, or so I hope. However it's not everybody that is ready for change. We keep crying over a broken gourd when instead, we should either amend it or find a better alternative. I have been engrossed in a thought on what the major problem of Nigerians is. I have gotten my answers from the the scenerios that keeps enfolding itself everyday in the political-leadership arena: the problems we are facing is just that we don't deal with our problems, I think we are too busy to do that.
"Corruption is endemic" this phrase has been known and memorised by Nigerians and we are found of saying it as if it is a kind of praying chants. We like talking, we are good at that, we talk to manipulate, we talk to destroy the whole system and we are still keep talking unrealised that our talking is as useless as it it. Why can't we act ? We should act, for that seems like better option for today Nigeria. We have been locked into the fear of repercussion: like what are we going to gain ? Like what if we fail, what if we got caught... as if that was not how greatness is being achieved - through risk. Corruption is available in almost every system of government in the world. This is my point at times when we attached our problems with corruption , I feel shocked and I am always like "... are we still don't get it?" It's not corruption per se, it is our failure to face the fact and the fact is simple, which is that we are suscebtible to downfalls.
The elderly ones are there standing aloof, maybe the old-age syndrome or something like that. So, youth ! What's our problem ? Are we too young too act ? I have to ask because I'm confused. The aparthy showed to politics by the youth, is at our own detriment. By youth, I mean, those larger population of youth that sees politics as a kind of business which so-called politicians alone must be incharge. We talk sports and bettings. Since that's not unlawful we should keep it on but I think we can concentrate on something better. Let's talk politics.
The first solution that I always suggest is that we should rebirth our hope that things is going to be alright. And we should focus on the long term result of our today's efforts. That... We should stop being myopic. The reasons is that average Nigerians want miracles. We have been seeing the miracle. The sad news is just that: miracle don't last and the miracle brings discomfort at last because it's absolutely illusional. We should talk our problems into the ears of those who can effect a change. We should vomit our fear of repercussion insofar we are doing the right thing and we should give support to the youth who have the guts to get us to where we want - where is right. For it is only then that " the labour of our heroes past" will seized being in vain.
In addition to this is that an adage says and I Adumbrated that"A Nation Divided against itself cannot stand ",Once the enmity, Hatred and petty Sycophancy that the Ruling class has Imbibe into our minds isn't corrected and stop our Generation will continue to wallow in poverty,penury and Massive Retrogression. Its high time my Generation think outside the Box if anything good will come out of our Generation political wise.
In Furtherance to this,My Generation should see beyond the ideology of " Baba rere Baba kè" which connotes begging stylishly via hailing to get Money from the elites.We should be able and ready to take up responsibility. We should think beyond White Collar Jobs and start creating something if not for anything but for the unborn Generation. I so much believe in my Generation but the only thing I aptly want to ask is Did we believe in Ourselves?Until when we provide an adequate and sufficient answer to this,I see no Miracle happening to my Generation.
