BLACK COCKTALE

Who cares !!!

Here is How Some Nigerian youths think

Male - my name is male, I want to be great in life. I want to love and to be loved. I wanna be rich,build many big and awesome mansions,use the latest car in the world. Travel to Uk,USA and others. I love "fun" why wouldn't I enjoy? Life is too short now!!! . Politics will suite my personality because am "rich" and I also want power ,because I wanna "dominate" the society. I adore imported outfits because ur "dressing" influences your "addressing". "As Expensive dressing is expensive personality". That's me. Mr male

Female - my own life is simple ooo, I can't just "date" a poor man, I love "fun" and "enjoyment". Am a girl!!! Mine is just to do little (little money, planning, thinking, goals, education and ambitions). Kitchen is my workshop. Hmmmmn shopping? Dats every weekend. I adore One color outfit. That's me. Mrs female

From the above assessments; whatever my grade is,  keep it to yourself!!!

What surprises me nowadays is the astronomical growth of club house. Nigeria Youths possess nothin than LAZINESS and IGNORANCE. 

If Mark Zuckerberg(at age 16) did not think of creating FACEBOOK when harvard university faces the delimma of collating every of their students bio data. Then what are we gonna be using today? Emails? U knw d best!!!

The co founders of TWITTER under the stewardship of Jack Dorsey were all youths when twitter was created.

That's just a tip of an iceberg when it comes to youth of Great IdEOloGiEs

Lemmie direct my ship to politics.

The Ahmadu Bellos, The Nnamdi Azikwes, the Obafemi Awolowos, The Mokwugo Okoyes the Tafawa Balewas, The Joseph Tarkas, and Aminu Kanos, all began their political careers in their youth; they founded the organisations which negotiated with the colonial regime while they were youths, and assumed leadership of this country while still in their forties!

What applied to our country applied with other countries. Agostino Neto, Amilcar Cabral, Patrice Emery Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah; the independence war and struggle leaders of Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bisau, DRC, Ghana, were all in their youth when they founded the parties that led those independence struggles.

In Southern Africa, youth played decisive roles at historic turning points in the struggle against apartheid! In Apartheid South Africa, it was the youth, in their forties and under, who founded the ANC youth wing, and in 1944 essentially took over the ANC convention, and made it adopt its youth wing program as the Freedom Charter, in a Congress Of The People convened by the ANC! This became a historic turning point in the history of the anti-apartheid struggle, led to the promotion into ANC national leadership of the ANY Youth wing leaders, and set the stage for the eventual campaigns of defiance and the establishment of the armed wing; Nkomto We Sizwe - Spear of the Nation; and hence the launch of the armed struggle.

And in more recent times, in post independent Africa, in the struggle against Neo-colonialism, youth have also played strategically decisive leadership roles. Thomas Sankara, was not yet 40, when he and his colleagues led the Burkinabe Revolution and captured the imagination of that generation of African Youths. Likewise, on the other side of the globe, in Latin America; Fidel Castro and his colleagues in what became the July 26th Movement were all in their twenties when they launched the audacious attack on the Moncada baracks in 1956 in an heroic, but failed attempt to unseat the dictator Batista! That movement went on to launch an armed struggle in 1958, and overthrew the military dictatorship after defeating it militarily in Jan 1959! Of the leaders of the Revolution, Fidel was the oldest, and he was barely 32; the rest, Ernesto Che Guevara, the younger castro, Camilo Cienfuengos etc were all under 30! The late Hugo Chavez, leader of the Bolivarian revolution, was in his forties when the movement that birthed the revolution was founded, and when he first assumed office after electoral vicory.

In Europe and the America, we can find similar instances; Tony Blair and the Blairites were in their 30s when they took over leadership of the Labour Party in Britain, and in their early forties when they took over leadership of UK Government. Nearly two decades later, David Cameron of the Conservative party and Niel Klegg of the Liberal Democrats would repeat a similar scenario in assuming leadership of the UK government - in their forties! And both JFK and Obama assumed leadership of the US at decisive and critical historical moments while in their forties!
