Nigerians: This time is ours

By Nwokedi Nworisara

For so long the Nigerian youth has suffered neglect from those entrusted with

catering for their welfare. The youths have only served the purpose of prolonging the life of their fathers. Everywhere the old have set up cults to mislead the youths into obedience to their perverted ways. Some of us started this struggle to liberate the youths from this bondage as youths but today we are adults with a difference because we bear the wounds of our generation. We have remained peaceful because we did not want to be blinded by the deceptive simplicity of our task. We wanted to succeed. We have waited for the right time to strike while the iron is hot. So today is the time. The April Elections in Nigeria will give the Nigerian youth including the 'wasted generation' from 50 years down the opportunity to execute a truly peaceful revolution through the ballot box.
