A call for Generational Transition in Politics (with Aina Omowumi Adenodi)
A Call For Generational Transition in Politics.
Anyone that says he is not interested in politics is like someone that is drowning and is still saying he is not interested in water.
Most of us feels we don't have anything to do with political issues, that is why some get the voters card, just to be identified as a citizen when the need arises for such, and not to exercise our franchise right, thereby allowing the mediocre to participate.
And then they are taken advantage of, and offered a token amount of money, food or some other materials, which they describe as their right from the contestant, so giving out their four years for a morsel, that is nothing to be compared to the suffering to be faced all the years ahead.
Politics is not all about the elections, those who are into it are most concerned about elections, while the electorate's are concerned about their wellbeing, that is why they tend to go for those with the best manifesto that suites their needs.
Until we all have a new mindset about politics in our nation, the change we are all craving for may never be a reality!, we keep shouting and chanting change!!! all around, but we've never thought about what it really means,some people say it, because others are saying it, a large percent of Nigerians does not even know the literal meaning of CHANGE!.
We sit in the corners of our respective houses and say "if I were the President, Governor, Senator e.t.c, this is how I would have done it, and everything would have been fine", but do you always think that those in power also think?.
We say those that are there does not have the fear of God, and when a servant of God announces his call into politics, there are critics from all angles, although politics is painted as a " dirty game", there are those that can actually transform it into a "clean affair", it is wisdom to let the righteous rule, so there will be peace, than to continue in groaning.
Note:There is nothing like out of politics, because almost everything around us have a trait of politics, why are the youths struggling out there and the elders are ruling in there?, those who are supposed to be resting, are those working, while the youths who are supposed to be ruling are left out idle, the young shall grow they say, where are the chances of growth when the youths are not given the opportunity to take crucial impact in political issues, these leaders of ours started their political career since they were youths, why is it that they cannot at least step aside and give the youths a chance to rule, while they serve as the reservoir of knowledge and models to whom the youths will run to for advice when the need arises.
Leaders of yesterday are the leaders of today and desperately willing to be tomorrow, since childhood we sing "We are the leaders of tomorrow", when will that tomorrow be, when the leaders of today don't want to step aside.
We must understand that: Politics is a call to duty and service to humanity, and not a call to embezzlement, until we all have this truth ringing in our brains, there will be no transformation.
Here is The Generational Transition
Call;
Let the youths rise in integrity and trust.
Let's get ready
Let's get enlightened
Let's be informed
Let's get involved
Let's have the right mindset
Because We can, YES!!! We can
We can be the change we really want, but then start where you are right now!!!
