YOUTH EDUCATION AND MENTORING: LINK TOWARDS ACHIEVING NATIONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SOUND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION.

An excerpts from my whatssap handle's political group" AGODI AGENDA,2019!"

This is perhaps one of the few countries where we make so much noise about youth participation in politics. Not that there is anything wrong 👎 with that. By all means they should be encouraged so as to acquire knowledge, experience and exposure and prepare themselves for  leadership. In this country today, it is  the youths of yester years that are responsible for the mess we are in today.

Between 1960 and 1966 when some self educated men were the leaders, we were making progress. Even after the war, guided by older and experienced civil servants, we still  made remarkable progress until 1975.  From then the story of Nigeria changed.

Cheek out all the players in Nigeria's leadership from independence, whether in the military  or civil service,  they were youths ,and large percentage of our political, religious,economic, educational and social leaders are youths going by the age definition. Rather than focusing on youth this and that,the emphasis should be on youth education and experience in order to sail our Nation appropriately.

This is where mentoring is important.

Nigeria shall be great again.

Amb. Joe Keshi.
