Awolowo (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36) Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh
(27), Enahoro (27) led the struggle for independence after the death of
Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time.
In 1966, the first coup was led by:
Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma
(28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua
(23), and brought into power Gowon (32),
Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29), Buhari (24).
Most of the military administrators
who governed the states under the successive military regimes, most of whom are
governors now, were under 30years. The brief democratic dispensation which
interjected the military interregnums also saw the House of Representatives in
particular
populated by majority of members
under 30 years as well as some senators. Under 30s were also not in short
supply with appointments, we have examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs
minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on
and so forth.
NOW:
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still collecting pocket money from their parents
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still sagging their trousers?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still searching for jobs?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of political
parties?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today so docile?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today still incapable of feeding itself?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices?
Why is it that this age bracket is
today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions?
Why is it that age below 30yrs are
ment and forcefully mandated to partake the long overdeu NYSC.
Why Why Why..........because I still
can't understand
