Why The Youth Should Not Be Given Power
The enthusiastic challenge of leading a group of people
which comes with different situations or type of leadership is a necessary walk
in any given situation in order to guarantee an appreciation of the position
ascended.
Today, Nigerian youth complain of not been ‘given’
leadership positions in the country by the ruling class of very old people.
Note however that most or all of these people were around during the fight for
independence.
I say however that the youth should NOT be GIVEN power! Over
the years in history, power has never been given, it is always taken. The
struggle to ascend leadership is necessary training and a test of readiness for
a position of leadership. Sometimes, its through violence, protest or at a time
and place like Nigeria where democracy is currently practiced; it may be by
campaign, insistence on the rule of law and so on.
The Nigerian youth does not know his or her right, privilege
and place in the country. I hereby say that the future of Nigeria is much more
in danger in the hands of such an illiterate.
I say to you frankly and confidently that the Nigerian Youth
would not ask for power when they are ready to lead, They Will Take It! Power
is Always Taken! Always Taken! And Never Given! Power Is Always Taken!!
