Ben Murray Bruce has written an open letter to Youths in Nigeria. Read below.
Youths of Nigeria, I want to communicate with you today. I noticed that
there are too many divisions amongst our youths and as a stakeholder in
Nigeria and parent of Nigerian children, I believe I ought to intervene.Youths, do not make the mistakes my generation made. Do not see yourselves through tribal and religious
lens. My generation of Nigerians did that and look where it has led us.
You must do better.
It is foolish for any youth to fight another youth over APC or PDP. Let
me ask you, what is the difference between the APC and the PDP? Half of
the members of the APC are former PDP members and vice versa. Let me ask you youths a question: Do the APC and the PDP fight over you
as you fight over them? How many ministers have they given you? How
many ambassadors have they given you? How many heads of parastatals have
they given you? That's right, the answer is ZERO!
So resist the desire of vested interests to control you and use you to fight other youths on social media and in real life. What youths do not realize is that you are victims of divide and
conquer. You make up 60% of the population yet account for 0% of the
federal cabinet!
Your price should be more than a plate of rice and a handshake. Work
together not against each other! Come on Nigerian youths, be smart! If you think after you have been used to fight each other these vested
interests will hand power to you, think again. Their kids who are abroad
will do same to your kids!
It is time to end the hate and come together for Nigeria's good. Long
after we are gone, you will be around. So learn to get along. As I have said and I will keep saying, the youths are the leaders of
today if only they will resist being used by vested interests.
How old is Trudeau, the Canadian PM. He was 43 when he became PM. You
can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord. You can be like
Trudeau's.
What have you got to say to this? Comment below.
