I don't want to believe that Joe Igbokwe would say such a thing



I don't want to believe that Joe Igbokwe would say such a thing as "the youth should wait until they are old enough to hold political office " Is Joe Igbokwe the APC spokesman indirectly telling us that the likes of Obasanjo, Gowon,  Ojukwu,  Enahoro,  Buhari,  Babangida, Awolowo, Okpara, Tafawa  and co who were leaders of this country as youth below 45 years old were not capable? Is he saying that France, Canada Australia and co have elected incapable youth to lead these countries.

I wonder what kind of leader at almost 80 years would say that people in their  40s cannot govern a state or nation.
For 50 years these present leadership did not consider it wise to train the successors that will take over from them, instead they come out to condemn and discourage self-empowered youths.

So to a man like Igbokwe,  Nigeria would not move forward.  When you say a man in his 40s cannot govern,  you must mean he should wait till he is 70 before he can aspire to be a leader.

Mr Igbokwe please be informed that leadership is not relaxation ground for retired men. Look around you and see very articulate,  young and vibrant Nigerian young generation running multinational corporations and you say they have no experience to lead.

Maybe the experience you mean is experience of looting the country public fund. If Obasanjo who has been a president as a youth and as an old man would support the initiative of having a young president, who then is Igbokwe to say otherwise.

The fear of losing out in the looting of public fund may have caused this mouth Diarrhoea. In every society there comes a time when the old generation hands over leadership to the new generation and in Nigeria that time has come.

Nobody can stop an idea which time has come. Every reasonable Nigerian who cares about the future of Nigeria and Nigerians should and must be part of this project of a young generation leadership.
God bless Nigeria.

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

 _The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
