Youth in politics: YOU'RE THE YOUTH, YOU'RE THE LEADER

PRESS RELEASE



YOU'RE THE YOUTH; YOU'RE THE LEADER

AKURE, 8th May 2018-Youth In Politics Ondo State Chapter reminisces on the passionately driven idea of the conveners of YOUTH IN POLITICS across our national divides on the need for our teeming youths to come forward and participate actively in politics. The patriotic idea that we should not just look out for jobs catering to only self and a tiny family, rather we should look out for the enlarged family, the society and the country at large is a very idealogical aspiration. Before independence most of the educated class showed definite aspirations towards country’s interests and many of them did join active politics and what we have today is the direct product of all that political activity, good or bad and whether we like it or not.

The State Ambassador of Ondo State Youth In Politics, Ambassador Paul Chibueze, in his usual charge sees the Nigerian youth as the necessary tools in nation building.

"Show me a youth and I will show you a leader. Show me a youth and I will show you a nation builder. Show me a youth and I will show you the change. Show me a youth and I will show you the hope. Show me a youth and I will show you the way forward. Show me a youth and I will show you the revolution. Above all, show me a youth and I will show you YIP. You are that youth so you are the leader", he quoted.

It's on that ground he charged all youths in the sunshine state to take the gun by the gauntlet and key into the ideology that birthed Youth In Politics by getting involved and also mobilize for our forthcoming State Conference coming up on May 12, 2018. The importance of the conference can never be over emphasized as that will be the official unveiling of the state chapter to the whole world, he said.

Need it be reiterated again that the
10million National LG Youth Parade coming up by May 29, 2018 which is providentially Nigeria Democracy Day is already near. The import of the parade according to the dictates of our national executives ably led by Mike Obinna Uwabofu is to sensitize the Nigerian youths on the essentials of active participation in politics, voter's registration and collection of their Permanent Voters Card(PVCs).

YIP Ondo State hereby call on our promising youth to troop out on these two most important days in the history of our commonwealth to write our names indelibly on the democratic sand of time.

“ Our answer is the world's hope; it is to rely on youth. The cruelties and obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement of danger. It demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. - Robert F. Kennedy, South Africa, 6-6-1966.

Let's arise!
Tomorrow is now!!

2018 DIGEST with Aina Omowumi Adenodi

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
