"Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa
34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 and they led the struggle for Nigeria
Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time!
In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29
years and countered by M. Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba
23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, and brought into power Y. Gowon 32,
Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, and Buhari 24!
Most of the military governors who governed the states under the
successive military regimes were under 30 years.
Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the
military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30!
NOW: Why is it that almost all this age bracket is today still
sleeping in 3-seater chairs in their parents’ homes?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting pocket
money from their parents?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB?
Why is it that this age bracket today still 'sagg' their
trousers?
Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for
jobs and not yet married?
Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to
even be leaders of youth wings of political parties?
Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile?
Why is this age bracket today incapable of feeding itself?
Why is it that this age bracket is today barred from even
aspiring to certain political offices?
Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling,
unable and incapable of asking questions?
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!"
This is real Food for Thought!
