Macron's fever

The social media is awashed with the news of the 39 year old new French president and I've read a whole lots of rantings from the ever docile, easy wealth and comfort seeking lazy young Nigerians about not being allowed to become leaders in their own country....
Can someone tell our Nigerian social media warriors that leadership positions are not thrown at anyone, leadership is all about conception of noble, lofty and life changing dreams and giving all it takes to achieve and actualize such dreams.
Can someone tell Nigerian youths that taking up leadership positions goes beyond spending useful time arguing about European football and the huge amount of sign on fees expended on their fellow youths in other parts of the world while they spend their own time talking about how those monies are spent.

Can someone let our Nigerian youths realize that political emancipation needs more of our youths getting involved in political activities that will take them out of their phones and getting more actively involved in events and forum that has to do with how to change our political space and ideologies.

The answer is capital No! What we have in Nigeria is the opp...

He is no more........

HE IS NO MORE..... One of the "DUMBEST"  defense I've read so far since the BBC Hausa dialect broadcast saga of President Buhari was an unimpressive and lazy write up titled : THE STORM IN A TEA CUP. by: Abubakar Widi-Jalo. I'm just imagining how these same set of people making all these cerebrally lopsided defense for this broadcast achaicry, will react if an Ibo president should address the nation,  given the same blurry template as we currently have in the country, in Igbo dialect.. in fact, the resultant effect should be better imagined than actually experienced. Some people are just unpatriotically crude and deliberately unrefined on very sensitive important national issues. Let us agree that senility is begining to set in on the part of the ailing septuagenarian,  just for the sake of absolving the president in this seeming owl-cry by some unscrupulous opportunistic  and unrepentant sycophants around the president. It is important we all let them know that...
