Empowering the Future: Why Nigerian Youths Should Participate fully in the Forthcoming Election -By Ebere Chuks Onuedem

Nigeria, a nation with a population of over 200 million, is regarded as the largest black nation in the world. With a large portion of its population being youth, the future of the country lies in the hands of the youth. The youth, who are defined as individuals between the ages of 18 and 35, play a significant role in shaping the future of the country. The forthcoming election provides a great opportunity for the Nigerian youths to participate in shaping their future and the future of their country.

The youth of Nigeria have the potential to be the game-changers in the country’s political landscape. With their energy, creativity, and innovative ideas, the youth can help to bring about the change that the country needs. However, for the youth to play a meaningful role in the political landscape, they need to be active participants in the electoral process. They need to be informed, engaged, and motivated to participate in the election.

One of the reasons why the youth should participate in the forthcoming election is to have a voice in the decision-making process. Elections are the cornerstone of any democracy and provide an opportunity for citizens to choose their leaders. The youth should not sit on the sidelines while the future of their country is being determined. By participating in the election, they can use their voice to elect leaders who will represent their interests and make decisions that will positively impact their future.

Young people can hold elected officials accountable for their actions and ensure that they keep their promises. This is particularly important because young people are often neglected and marginalized in the political process. By participating in the election, they can ensure that their voices are heard and that their concerns are addressed.

The youth have the power to shape the future of the country and bring about the change they want to see. They can use their vote to elect leaders who will implement policies that address the challenges faced by the youth, such as unemployment, poverty, and poor educational opportunities.

In conclusion, the forthcoming election provides an opportunity for the Nigerian youths to participate in shaping their future and the future of their country. By participating in the election, the youth can have a voice in the decision-making process, promote accountability, and bring about change. It is therefore imperative that the youths take advantage of this opportunity and exercise their right to vote. The future of the country depends on it!
