What an illusion! Growing up as a Nigerian youth is not so pleasant. You finished your secondary education at the age of 18 years old. Perhaps the system will try its possible best either to seize the WAEC result, or they trick you by giving you a pass in one subject and cause you to write GCE as well as NECO,thereby robbing you one or two years more. Now you are 20 years old. You are asked to write JAMB for you to get entrance to the university. After two or three trials, perhaps you got a high score, the respective university will use quota and catchment slogans to rob you of your Nigerian dream again. Even if you succeeded in getting the right score against all odds, you have to write aptitude test to get admission. Per adventure you succeed once more, you have to bribe your way in... If not, your name will be omitted. Now you are 23 years old. You attend university of 4 or 5 years duration, within those years, you are subjected to pass through ASUU strike culminating up to a year of staying at home. Now you are 29 years old. Graduating, you are told that graduate opportunities are for young people below 24 years of old. You are threatened to must have at least 5 years experience to your dream career before you are employed . From where will you get experience? Coming to one year youth service, they say you are serving your fatherland. That is delay in disguise as I see to it. As we are alive, we serve our fatherland everyday. 30 years of a Nigerian youth robbed off from him. What an irony. Go to South Africa, immediately a learner passed his/ her matric, with good result, that is straight admission to the university, no gce, no jamb, no aptitude test, and there university career last only for 3 years and yet their education system is rated high better than Nigerian system. Why are you destroying Nigerian youths? Immediately after tertiary education, the probability of the South African child getting a job and living his/her SA dream is 90 percent. What do we have here? Getting a job is by luck and nepotism and tribalism. Is this what the youth hope for? Why are our Nigerian youth suffering and dying in foreign lands in pursuit of greener pasture. South Africa pays her citizens grants of different sorts every month,what about this most populous nation? No skill acquisition centre for the youth. Yet, Nigeria is richer than South Africa. Who is auditing Nigeria? Is there any probity and accountability of grand stance? No!No!No!. Arise O Compatriots! My Nigerian youth. Join us to heal our nation. Jamb should be abolished, Nysc should be abolished. 4 years should be reduced to 3 years in our institutions, and the youth should be taken serious from hence forth. God has blessed Nigeria, our human destiny is in our hands.. After-all, the kingdom of the heaven suffered violence, and the violent took it by force....
