Nigeria was born in 1960 even though we amalgamated in 1914 or the name was given her in 1890's by lord lugard's wife.
We had youths who knew that it wasn't about sitting and complaining about the bad and wicked colonial masters but it was high time they stood up and fight for their beloved nation and men Nnamdi Azikiwe and his crew went against all odds and gained independence for Nigeria on 1st of October 1960.
He was in his 30's and he was the first Nigerian to lead this nation. Immediately after him came Aguiyi ironsi who was also a youth in his 30's and also came gowon who was in his 20's.
With all these stats I still marvel at the present state of leadership in the country with even the constitution going against youths leading. But I do not blame the old and self centered leaders for making it impossible for youths to lead as an average youth today only thinks of how to flex or how to get the latest gadget or woo his opposite sex and when things go wrong they sit on their father's couch and complain.
I am not here to say anything than bring back our YOUTHFUL LEADERSHIP QUALITIES to Nigerian youths its high time we learn from the PAST.
Nigeria youths should learn from the gay population in America how they infiltrated the country steep law against gay... THEY FIRST INFILTRATED THE LEGISLATURE.
