AN Open Letter To Our Leaders!!

I tremble as I write this note to you
especially with the open wound your
unfeeling actions have continued to
inflict on the generality of Nigerian
youths who you constantly refer to as
“leaders of tomorrow”. The profound
leadership crisis when combined with
the increasingly dangerous politics of
neglect, spawns gloomy
prognostication about our collective
future as youths of this great country.

Dear leaders of my time, there is
growing apprehension among the
youths that as 2015 Elections
approach, there is unabashed and
surreptitious attempt by you to ensure
the intergenerational perpetuation of
certain hegemonic blocs in the
country. I think a lot need to be done
in order to dispel this genuine
apprehension and subsequently push
the frontier of leadership as far as
human ingenuity can go.

My dear Fathers, may I ask this
question please, is it true that some of
you are drab, sycophantic, overzealous,
scatterbrained, and megalomaniac?
No, I don’t think so because you had a
better education than us!

My leaders, this indeed is not a
happy time to be a Nigerian youth.

With my firm belief in African ethics
and tradition, I still have faith in you. I
think this edge of despair can also be
the threshold of hope. But it is also
pertinent to note that, we the Nigerian
youths have been excommunicated
from the present realities. It is true
that our national assembly is
harboring many misfit and counterfeit
Lawmakers? Our only hope now is that
most of you who hunger and thirst for
glory and political overdraft are
moving “ahead” to unleash leadership
terror as Chief Executives of your
various states.

It may also interest you to know that
we are pushed to the wall. Our parents
are beginning to see us as
unproductive rascals. This, my leaders
and elders, I must confess is an
irredeemable embarrassment to a
nation that prides herself as the heart
of Africa. Your attitude and approach
are disturbingly predictable, so
shocking, so unimaginative and very
much characteristic of your
predecessors in those dark days who
watched helplessly as cherished values
of leadership standard run utterly to
seed and the whole system took its
quantum leap into mediocrity and
darkness.

I don’t see your office as a patronage-
disbursing machine but I expect bold
visionary measures capable of
addressing this present crisis. Yes my
leaders, that is what it is: a deep-
seated and tremendous crisis of
generational neglect. What we have
from you are infuriating and bland
comments that only deepen the gulf
between your humble selves and us.

Finally my leaders, please let’s not
allow our dear country to become an
asylum for moral cripples, treacherous
thugs, degenerate fools, flyblown
sycophants and nitwits of different
shades.

I'm Sure some of them will start looking for me after reading this on my blog!! Lol... All we want is good leadership in this Nation bound in freedom, peace and unity!!
