A call to Youths; rule the future yourselves

'it is shallow-thinking for anyone to think that if a youth becomes president, he will do better than the older one'


These were the words of sagay in an interview with independent newspaper, according to him the youths can't rule Nigeria properly.


I believe am not quoting sagay out of context, but he meant it is even foolish thinking to think a youth can run for presidency.
It's a foolish hypothesis to just logically quess that a youth cannot rule the country when they have not yet gotten the chance to - should we leave the country for granddads and the elderly only to rule?.


“That psychology of overnight wealth is almost exclusively a youth attribute"... how many said that?


“Number two: who is stopping the youths? All these people who are advocating that the youths should take over are in essence saying the older ones should just call the youths and say ‘come and take power’i might want to believe he made some sense here, but with the older ones godfathering the whole system how will the youths break in and ask of power.



The 'not too young to rule bill' is just an act by the older ones to keep the youths believing that the government wants them in power, if the youths don't come out themselves and force power into their hands, we will be having dadies of the past ruling the future, and that future is now.

Why government job? Here are 5 businesses to startup in Nigeria.

While a majority of the Nigerian population are forcing their way into the public sector to meet ends, a lot of opportunities are dieing down, and remain untapped in the country.   A nation that have produced the richest man in African, richest woman in Africa  and a growing large telecom company, but yet its citizens still run to government to offer them jobs. I picked sectors in the country that have a lot of opportunities to dig into. While it might differ in location, these are the ones i found in my place. Feel free to add yours at the comment box below. 1. Poultry Farming.   With the festive periods drawing close, chicken is not only needed but eggs also. These eggs can be supplied to restaurants as well as sold to retail outlets. Believe me I've seen a lot of people make it in this business.
