Nigeria is not a complex nation. It’s your small mind and small ideas that made you believed so by the so called Old Brigades to frighten you from approaching the pulpit. Written by MALAM ABUY ABBA AkHUWA
You know, in Nigeria, we always admire other countries with young leaders. We admired Canada when Justin Trudeau became their elected Prime Minister. We cherished France when Emmanuel Macron got the popular vote. And finally, in the recent World Cup played in Russia, we got introduced to one ‘hot’ and cute lady as Croatians President. (Believe me, she’s hot wallahi).
Many Nigerians do cherish South African opposition led by Julius Malema and do support him because of his youthful exuberance and because of his youthful ideas, expression and embraced his posture as opposition leader.
But, back home when youth intellectuals became interested and joined the political terrain, we dismissed their ideas as lagging because we thought Nigeria is a complex nation that need governance experience. Experience my foot! If what we’ve been witnessing since 1999 has anything to do with ‘experience’. Then experience my foot, I repeat.
Sowore and his #TakeItBack movement has launched a worldwide campaign campaign engaging Nigerians at the diaspora. Interacted with many locals back home in several cities across the nation. His co-aspirants, like Kingsley Moghalu, Adamu Garba and Fela Durotoye are doing same in their own capacity. While the Old Brigades are defecting from one loser party to a failure party and vice versa. But, yet, we still sticked to the Old Brigade and thinking they’re the saviors for this complex nation.
Nigeria is not a complex nation. It’s your small mind and small ideas that made you believed so by the so called Old Brigades to frighten you from approaching the pulpit. It’s a universal culture but some nations are getting rid of it. Nations that believed power belongs to the people. Not the other way round.
Many congratulations to Omoyele Sowore and his team for going this far to register African Action Congress (AAC). It’s the right thing in the right time and Nigerians have to be cautious, mindful, in guarding the remnants left for this nation before these old men gamble it beyond repair with their usual experience and connivance in the con world.
My support goes to any youth with experience, global thinking, who I believed has individual leadership experience and successes as an individual or in the corporate world.
