THE ROLES OF THE YOUTH IN NIGERIA'S POLITICAL CHAOS

Youths are the future leaders in any society. They are the baton for survival of any society. Youths in most civilized societies all over the world had in one way or the other made their ideology known in any current developments. The Nigerian youth contributions to ameliorating the present political dichotomy and chaos cannot be taken with a pinch of salt. 

The youths in Nigeria seems to be the ones complaining that things are not going on in Nigeria very well, and at the same time, they are the ones that don’t care of how government is run. What is being seen is that youths are interested in social media discussing irrelevant issues. When asked what idea they have on how to develop the country, most of them motioned that, ‘wetin concern me, na my father get government’.

The youth cannot continue in this odd method. It is high time that the youths stand up and say yes to the dearth of political looters and corrupt officials whether in the sacred or secular world; they should also make their voices known, such as the government taking the youths in appointments which is a dead practice in Nigeria.

Youths must stop sitting hand in hand with melancholy! It is time to act now.
