Dear Tinubu, When Would The Masses Breath? -By Kushi Daniel Friday

The question “When would the masses breathe?” is highly subjective and can have many different interpretations depending on the context. If you are referring to the political, economic, and social situation in Nigeria, there is no clear answer as the solution would require a multifaceted approach involving government policies, structural reforms, civic engagement, and active participation from all sectors of society.

Some of the key areas that need to be addressed to improve the living standards of the masses in Nigeria include creating more job opportunities, reducing poverty and inequality, improving infrastructure, providing access to quality education and healthcare, and promoting transparent and accountable governance. Additionally, there is a need for greater political stability, security, and social cohesion to create an enabling environment for sustainable development.

Overall, the situation in Nigeria is complex, and there is no quick fix to the challenges facing the country. However, with sustained efforts from the government, civil society, and the private sector, it is possible to create a more vibrant, prosperous, and equitable society where the masses can breathe and thrive.

there are several other initiatives that could be useful in promoting cogency and youth participation in Nigerian politics. These include:

Collaborative efforts: Nigerian leaders must work collaboratively with young people, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to identify the most pressing issues facing youth, create actionable policy solutions, and implement initiatives that promote inclusivity.

Capacity-building: There is a need for the development of programs and initiatives that build the capacity of Nigerian youth to participate meaningfully in the political process. This could include training programs for young people on advocacy, policy analysis, and public speaking.

Digital technology: Given the rising technological advancements, digital technology can be leveraged to increase youth participation in the political process. This could include the use of social media, online platforms, and mobile applications to engage young people and promote their participation in discussions around key political issues.

Youth-led initiatives: The establishment of youth-led initiatives that encourage civic engagement and political participation is another avenue that can promote cogency among Nigerian youth. These initiatives could include youth-led advocacy groups, community-based organizations, and youth-led protests.

Investment in education: Improving the quality of education is a crucial step in empowering Nigerian youth to participate meaningfully in the political process. This includes increasing access to education, improving the quality of teachers, increasing investment in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs, and offering scholarships and incentives to encourage young people to pursue higher education.

Nigeria must prioritize initiatives that promote cogency and youth participation in the political process. This requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including policy makers, youth advocates, civil society organizations, and community-based groups. By implementing policy reforms, promoting youth empowerment, promoting accountability, and initiating electoral reforms, Nigeria can improve its political system and promote sustainable development for all its citizens.
