He is 31 years old

Austria on December 18, 2017 made history by electing the world's youngest president who is 31 years old.

His name is Sebastian Kurz, he is just 31 years old.

Before the election, he was the country's foreign minister.

While our youths are contented with being praise singers and Special assistants on social media in Nigeria, youths else where are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for the new frontier.

From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youths.

Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world.

The bar has been raised in Austria that elected a 31 years old man as its leader.

Joseph & David in the Bible mounted the throne at about age 30.

A 31 years old man in Nigeria is probably in his parents house,unemployed and broke, eating free food and not bothered.

The 31 old Nigerian man is feeling big supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in) on Facebook without seeing the nexus between the failed leadership and present unemployment predicament.

I weep for our youths many of whom are wasting away forgetting that time waits for no one.

The condition in Nigeria is not helping matters though and then my generation is not ready to push for change.

Those who have bank jobs think they are on top of the world, forgetting that the owners of the banks were Billionaires at their age.

The women get married and drive their husband's cars and think they have arrived.

I ask myself and other young people reading this, what are you doing with your life?

Are you happy with the way you are at the moment?

What are you doing to push for change?

I wish you a Thought Provoking New Year

Looking on the list, it is impressive to see how many young people contribute to the world. I just want to clarify, age doesn't matter, we are always be impressed with someone who achieved something big when they were young, yes, that's correct. But for me, in terms of changes which can contribute to the world development, age doesn't matter. The achievement of Colonel Sanders at old age were just as significant with the other younger achievers. The most important things is we have to push ourselves to achieve something. Not everyone can do what Mark can do, but we can always do something. It is a choice and for us to decide whether or not to proceed. Good post nevertheless. Thumbs up.

Dear, not everyone can achieve what mark did but the problem is that most teens don't want to do something. They prefer being on social media 24/7. Thanks for reading. I hope this post impacts a change in someone
