Speak up and be heard because your voice matters!
Right from birth we are always told what to do by our parents, our teachers and the ever vigilant society. They always tell us we are not old enough to make right decisions and sadly they never tell us when we are old enough to make decisions. I believe its time for this ideology to change.
We young Nigerians are intelligent, educated and very capable of making decisions about our future be it about politics, education, lifestyle etc. We have a voice and we will be heard!
Our problems and concerns will not bother our so called 'leaders' unless we point them out. To do that, we must take action and not just advise the decision-makers, but become the decision makers.
I know its easier said than done and in all honesty it's not every youth that needs to be a leader. That been said, it doesn't mean that your opinions are not valued no matter how insignificant they may seem, your voice is worth hearing!
It is our resilience as young people that will make the world and our leaders want to listen to us and this will help us achieve success in any movement or campaign that we partake in. We were not educated to be underdogs but to be leaders and change-makers.
Being involved in decision making in the society is very important to us because these leaders won't be here in the next 30 years and they make decisions that will enrich them now and not for the future!
Having youth representatives when decisions are being made will give us a real sense of belonging and will make us believe that truly we will lead tomorrow. We don't just want to be consulted, but we want to participate. This will benefit not only the Nigerian youth but Africa as a whole.
So Let's Speak Up And Be Heard!!!
We keep moving Forward
