Journey Of The Youth

He is 31 years old

Austria today made history by electing the  world's youngest president who is 31 years old. 

His name is Sebastian Kurz, he is just 31 years old and with him is his girlfriend Susanne. 

Before today's election, he was the country's foreign minister. 

While our youths are contented with being ass lickers, praise singers and Special assistants  on social media in  Nigeria, youths elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. 

From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials  who are youths.

Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. 

The bar has been raised in Austria that elected a 31 year old man as her leader today. 

A 31 year old man in Nigeria is probably in his parents house, unemployed and broke, eating free food and not bothered.  

The 31 old Nigerian man is feeling big supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in) on Facebook without seeing the nexus between the failed leadership and present unemployment predicament. 

I weep for our youths many of whom are wasting away forgetting that time waits for no one. 

The condition in Nigeria is not helping matters though  and then the current generation if youth is not ready to push for change. 

Those who have bank jobs think they are on top of the world, forgetting that the owners of the banks were billionaires at their age.

The women get married and drive their husband's cars and think they have arrived.

Those who work in IOCs see themselves as great achievers, not knowing that they are slaves.

I ask young people reading this, what are you doing with your life?

Are you happy with the way Nigeria is at the moment? 

What are you doing to push for change?

I wish you a Thought Provoking month.
