Our country is blessed with an abundance of resources. We have mineral resources and fertile soil among others. There are many nations that are poor in terms of mineral resources and fertile soil compared to our nation but they are far better off than us in every aspect of development like education, healthcare, agriculture and technology. This is largely because they have good leadership.
The situation in our beloved country now is very exasperating. ASUU and other educational associations are on strike, terrorists, kidnappers and inflation are extremely tasking our lives physically and mentally.
But we the youths can bring change. The youth are the backbone of every national development.
We have to be flag-wavers, in our studies, business and other day to day living. We must put Nigeria ahead. Also, we have to stand and find out the people with competence, truthfulness, honesty, patriotism as well as integrity as our leaders. Yes, it can happen if we can remove selfishness, religious sentiment, tribalism, regionalism when it comes to national development.
Youths, let us stand!
