Seeing through the future, "Who are the said leader of this tomorrow"




"Parent listen to your children, we are the leaders of tomorrow".............................. For those of us who had attended elementary school here in Nigeria, you would be quite familiar with the song above. Ever since i was born and now in my late twenties I have never for once see those kids out there in school stop singing this song, infact it really pinch me like a thorn in the flesh seeing young once singing this song with joy and hope that one day an opportunity to make things right would come.

My take in this regard is not to discourage the kids in singing this song, neither am i disputing the fact that the youth are truly the leaders of tomorrow, but what happens even when an avenue to be positive in a certain place of authority or office rather is been frustrated, i mean what happens when someone comes to your door-post telling you that, if you cannot beat them you join them. Should we all learn to please the authority at the expense of doing that which is civic. And now due to one civic disobedience you see 'them' kick you out of place and place a tag on you reading "rebellious" 

Nigeria is a great nation and sincerely speaking, the youth of this nation are the future leaders, but how do we even sort out the challenge of better governance when folks in their respective place of authority are giving kickbacks to get things done for them? as if that was not enough, the youth are even the major instrument of perpetrating all this civil wrongs. We all know and you will quite agree with me that, the way our tomorrow would be could be best told by our today, just like the Scripture would say, "when the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do". Lets get rid of the foundation of a building and see if it will stand.
To sum up, i am not trying to get attention neither am i derailing from any said rule or regulation change is in every man but that change can best be expressed when heads are brought together to effect that change.
Give the eaglet strengthened wings to fly!

I love Nigeria
Am a Nigerian.

Finding the real me (iii)

“Tony, why are you doing all these you once said you don’t want to do again? Or am I daydreaming? She questioned and continued. At least, today is not your birthday and not that I told you to help me do all these. Oh no you even remembered to get our favorite groceries. That’s interesting ” . Mum was glad I shopped for her without telling me. Why are you not talking son? She asked with a tone of seriousness. Or have you won heavy money from your sports betting? Just as she rounded up her talk, I dipped my hand into my pocket and handed her my letter of admission, neatly wrapped. From the chair where she sat examining her jewelry, she stretched and took her second eyes, her glasses and read through the details on the letter headed admission letter. See: Finding the real me (iii)  ‘ Ehn , so my son will be going to the university anytime  soon? Oh, my good Lord, I thank you. She stood, and began dancing , swerving her waist to and fro the same way she’d done e...

Finding the real me (v)

I was really pampered all through . Mum can be strict, but she is such a caring mother any child will crave to have. “ So young man, you’re now going to the university ehn ? “ Yes mum I just  can’t wait to be there ” “But I want you to give your heart to my words for they are all right for you ” “Ok mum. You have my ears, I replied ” “ You see,  university is not like a secondary school. I can tell you that  it is more like a bigger city of students where you meet several kids from different background. I mean cultural and family background. Listen Tony. Mum often calls me Tony when she is ready to sound a heavy warning. “ I don’t want you to keep the wrong company. Go to classes, learn, attend church programs on campus and return to your hostel. And if there be need for you to visit your uncle whose quarter is not far from your hostel, then do so on time and return to your place. Do you understand? “ Yes mum”. I gleefully said without reserva...
