YOUTH MUST WAKE UP TO REALITY

YOUTH MUST WAKE UP TO REALITY

 This is no longer a hidden thing but the reality call to get the youth on their toes and face the situation of things in our present country. Nigeria has gone pass the era of spoon feeding or laziness only the hard worken man who has the fear of God makes it in this present dispensation.

There was a time, in this country when a student write Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam and sit at home for his chosen university or polytechnic to send him/her admission letter but we can all see what is happening now the issue has turned around after.

After JAMB there is post JAMB later in the future there will be pre – JAMB the youth must wake up to reality.

There used to be a time in this country when graduate are paid salary even without them having the work and even a car to drive but we can answer the present situation for ourselves. Now, Nigerian has the highest number of graduate without job in Africa , the youth have to wake up to reality.

There use to be a time in this country where schools teachers beg student to go to school and a time when government pay scholarship to student in tertiary institution to keep them in school but the country has gone terrible that most rich men send their wards outside to school, it is no longer a joke that Nigeria has the highest number of students who study aboard. The youth has to wake up and stand up to face reality.

There use to be a time when Nigerian’s N1 was a couple of dollars and when investors want to invest in Nigeria, when developers rush to Nigeria to develop, when Nigeria was an area of attraction, when Nigeria was a place for relaxation when peace, love, joy was the motto and watch word of this country.

When life was valued and watch word of this country.

When life was valued and appreciated by the government but we can comprehend them present situation of the country this calls for awakeness to the present youth who had not enjoy this privilege to work hard and make the country return to it formed glory when peace and tranquility was the order of the day when fight stand for his father’s land.

Nigeria is ours to rebuild not the foreigners not the leaders but us.

I remember the days of the civil war, when France came to offer a helping hand to agreed to allow than milk that area after the war but this dog led fighter preferred to loose rather than allowing France milk his country this is an example o patriot even though people sew him as a traitor because he fought his country but when this men died it become clear that he loved his country.

Can we mediate on the country’s National Anthem Arise, O Compatriots Do we act as compatriots. Nigeria’s call obey (Do we obey the call of Nigeria) To serve our fatherland (Do we really do this nowadays) with love and strength and faith (Do we put our strength to use for our country, Do we have faith for a better Nigeria, do we love ourselves talkless of our neighbour).

The labour of our heroes past (How do we expect the founding fathers of Nigeria to feel people like Nnamdi Azikwe, Obafemi, Elbert Udo Udome, Murtala Mohammed, Aminu Kano, Joseph Tarka etc who fought to build Nigeria for us.

Shall never be in vein (Can we the present youth stand before God and repeat that word?).

To serve with heart and might (only few youth do this in this present dispensation; are you of them). One nation bound in Freedom (Yes this one is true because it is only in this country freedom to misbehave and get away with it is ensure).

Peace and Unity (This is really hard to answer because we have no peace no unity, no love, no joy for every time now long). We the youth are the only hope of this country, if we don’t stand on our toes and face reality, this country would be in shambles but with “A prayer for Nigeria in distress” and collective prayer and hard work Nigeria can be a place we want it to be.

Rise up you and me and shine, have a part to play in uplifting this country
