TAKE OFF YOUR MASK, BE YOU!

Many of our youths have contributed to marginalising themselves in terms of being part of the leadership of our nation. No one ever hands over power to another, on a platter of gold.

So far, most of them are hungry for money, quick money, so that's what they get. A youth population, especially in our region, that reasons only along the lines of religion, tribe and money, is only thinking the way our leaders have manipulated and conditioned them to think. Such youths, who cannot think for themselves, are not mature, they are unstable, unreliable and they are not ready for leadership.


If a dubious politician pays you to create news sites and fake profiles to disseminate lies, he is never going to hand over meaningful power to you. He would always view you as one of his hangers-on, a parasite. His children will also rule over your children!

Our youths need to show that they are hungry for power and then, demand it. They also need to show that they can handle power. They need to show that they can reason independently, having open minds made solid by truth. Respect yourself and others will respect you.
