Useless and Lost Nigerian Youth

Sowere is legally not a youth, but he represents the “not too young to rule” and revolutionary youth movement presently in a state of utter confusion and rudderlessness. 

Don’t come to social media and be complaining about all the ills of society, but then criticize or laugh at someone like Sowere willing to fight for, or express as revolutionary as he can, the utter frustration and sense of hopelessness about the state of Nigerian today that we all feel, you cannot come to Facebook without it hitting you in the face to the point of insults for even a whiff of Buharism. 

I am not disappointed at my generation chanced of our destiny from growing up under military rule to wanting to maintain the status quo because they know no better, but I am thoroughly disappointed in they youth made of University students and they unemployed today.

How many of you voted for Sowere? 

How many of you voted for the eloquent and intelligent Moghalu or the many youth candidates of the other parties in the last election? almost all of you voted for the old men of the PDP and APC, useless set of youth not worth dying or wasting ones energy fighting for them. 

How did you think you could get change from an analog generation be it from ancient Buhari or from an Atiku appearing to be sophisticated with new ideas because he lives an ostentatious life style, neither of them can comprehend the change that would strip away the institutions or traditions that made them prominent in the first place, they are both not the answer. 

Many deceived themselves with the argument that the mission was too unseat Buhari, but I can tell you there is no difference between both of them or they interests they represent. The youth failed to register their strength and to signal their restiveness by giving the PDP and APC their vote instead of too sowere or Moghalu. 

Presently stakeholders for 2023 have no data and can fight for power without consideration for the youth because youth power is not registered in any useful political form. Don’t forget Sowere, a youth leader from the old youth firmament. 

Do not be deceived into believing he is just a random trouble maker, or that he is being sponsored by anyone, risk DSS detention and see if you have a stomach to accept financial aid first, just keep on agitating until he is released, that is the least you can do to restore your lost honor and integrity. Useless Nigerian youth, yes you under 30 or 35 JJC.

Economics - Another Useless Degree in Nigeria

To those studying Economics hoping for a banking career, please understand that With the increasing sophistication of electronic banking, transfer services, ATM’s and POS machines, the need for bankers will fall and there will be a decline in recruitment in that area. To be more concise, ECONOMICS is one of the growing number of useless courses if the curriculum is not quantitative based and focused on modeling outcomes and forecasting trends based on real time statistics and data.  Here are the jobs available to Economics graduates overseas: 1. Economist  2. Financial risk analyst 3. Data Analyst 4. Financial Planner 5. Accountant 6. Economic Researcher 7. Financial Consultant 8. Investment Analyst  9. Actuary 10. teaching 11. Public sector Based on this list, we can immediately eliminate 2,4,8,9, give some deferential award to 1,3,6 that in Nigeria all lead to 11 in policy roles, with the remaining extract from all defaulting to 10 or finally outside economics in the wo...

Re-Indoctrination Before Restructuring

Whenever you talk about poor governance, Nigerians always mention restructuring as the catch all panacea to fix all problems and issues. But very few Nigerians really know what type of restructuring is needed or how to secure this much needed restructuring in practice.  Many believe restructuring is about returning to the regional government system predating 1966, and tagging on a few new regions, while others wish to retain the federalist state structure and others wish for tribal governments for each of Nigeria nearly 360 indigenous tribes.  Others talk about super imposing a true federalist structures over whatever system but to ensure regional control of resources, most of that agitation seems to be driven by the south east and south-south zones sitting on crude oil reserves, followed by a devolution of items on the exclusive list to those new federalist units.  Others see restructuring as repeal of the 1999 constitution in its entirety and fashioning a new constituti...

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DESTINED TO FAIL PROVINCIAL ECONOMIC POLICIES

Where is Nigeria’s Minister of State, Kachikwu? Apparently, he has been sidelined in favor of Baru searching for crude in the lake chad Basin.  It is not enough that Nigeria has been structured on a ridiculously, uneconomic and wasteful system of drilling in the south and pipelining the crude all the way up to Kaduna for refinement.  Now Buhari has become fixated with finding oil in the north to complete his economic linkage plan after the planned completion of the dry inland port and a railway linking from there all the way to Chad and Cameroon for his Kanuri relative smugglers to prosper selling petrol and other banned items without paying Nigeria excise duties unlike the militarized border around Lagos with the republic of Benin. You can almost feel the gasping for air exasperation of Buhari as he is confronted with yet another failure to find crude and I can hear his iron willed response to keep on drilling to find oil at all costs so he and the north can be rid or done wi...
