The Rotten Generation

 

Hello people I'm sorry this is coming a bit late, it's just a slow moving wheel trying to clog my movements. From court to jail, I'll give you the details of my five days journey to Kirikiri "The  Federal Republic of Freedom."

 Just check back on the blog to see the beautiful, the ugly and gory sides of Kirikiri.

Now to this gist I've to tell you, let get down to d'affaire du jour.

How can you total blame professor Wole Soyinka for calling my generation a wasted one, when the level of indiscipline among the youth is worst than what the older generations currently  display.

In the past few days I've witnessed what will make me not agree more with the professor that we are all in terrible mess especially within my generation and the ones after mine.

My mind has not rested since these events that I'm about to relay to you.

I'm so troubled that I'm wondering why the current political shenanigans will not be right when we accused them of their sit-tight rule attitude and they will gladly tell whoever cares to listen that mine generations lack leadership qualities and that we are worse off than them.

 They said they can't in any way trust us with power. Do you blame them, huuuuh!!!!!!

I was in one of the banks around my office on the first Tuesday after the just concluded Easter holiday, the queue was long and pressure on the cashiers was hectic.

Just as we queued for us to take our turns to be attended to, a young man said he was not ready to queue because he needed to pay his money in at least 25 minutes and leave the bank.

A young man just of his age was bold enough to tell him that if we truly want Nigeria to be good and Nigerians to be taken serious by the outside world, the youth must be to be the engine of change. I never knew I've not heard the worse from the un-repentance young lad who proudly said Nigeria is destroy and he's not ready to be an apostle of change. He said if he's giving the opportunity of leadership tomorrow he will not only go there to loot the national treasury but he will also take national cake for his three generations.

I was shamed for his uncivilized utterances, in that shame I left the banking hall after my transaction without any comment. I guess I was too dismal to any word. But the thought of the scenarios was in my head for many days.

Where’s the responsibility of trust, I guess this young man is a fresh graduate who will probably be scouting for an employment in a financial house. His guarantors must better watch their backs. #just a warning!
