UNCAGING THE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS

My desire for the young people is to have a mind of their own without being transactional and permanently tied to apron strings of leadership that want to use and dump.

Our understanding of politics should graduate from blind loyalty to constructively loyalty.

We should be committed to any political gladiator to the extent that such a gladiator is committed to the greater good of the state and her people.

Therefore, the more of us a political gladiator should have in term of support and loyalty is corollary to the most contribution he or she makes to the development of human and infrastructure in the state.

The young people should understand that their numbers and potentials count in any nation that desire development.

It is enough to negotiate with this population of young vibrant and resourceful young people. It will rather be disgraceful to trade away the asset in you for crumbs in the hand of any political gladiator. It is tantamount to mortgaging a virile and robust future for peanuts.

Young people should not lower their 'price' nor reduce their worth in the name of loyalty and support for any political gladiator.

It is rather supposed to be a mutual relationship that will not undermine your future or mortgage your aspirations.

What is particularly worrying about the greed and other frivolities and negative tendencies that drive the youth demand for a better future? It is quite worrisome that some of them have enlisted themselves as foot soldiers of their own operations in the name of loyalty to political gladiators.

The uncensored loyalty to political gladiators some of who consumed the various universities they are supposed to have attended.

Those who consumed the high-class hospitals where they are supposed to have been taken care of.

Those who refused to construct the very good road they are supposed to have been safe traversing.

Those who looted away the secured society that is supposed to have given them peace of mind.

Those who traded off housing provisions that is supposed spare them the headache of accommodation as they are settling down.

I challenge the young people to look around the world and see how the young people are negotiating better and constructive future for themselves and leading the world from their own space, adding value to their own society without the slavery-type of relationship with political gladiators.

Study how they manage distractions and frivolities and the richly conversion of potential to a generational advantage .

I think this is possible.

We should remember today will be exhausted but tomorrow will always be.
