The Youth Need A Change In Leadership -By Sanni Inuwa Baba

Good Leadership isn’t necessarily about age. In my life-time, I have seen a governor of 40 years who can’t afford to do anything for his people, not to talk about paying salaries. I have seen a governor who is as old as an ancestor doing amazingly great.

I have seen countries where youth talk about issues and discuss solutions. Where citizens compete to make positive impact or footprint. They believe the problem for one is nothing but a problem to an entire humanity.

On the other hand, I have seen young boys and girls with massive talents/gifts competing to be newscaster or announcers on topics they believe will undermine a person, region, religion or one funny political party.

Many people can argue that poverty is thr major driving force of the problems faced today by the youth especially in developing nations. Although they can’t connect how a politician uses them for his selfish interest; How they can destroy their very own communities by burning what took others years to build. In many unfortunate instances murder anyone they think opposes their creme de la creme.

The leadership of today was designed by the youth of yesterday, they strategically planned for their tomorrows which was beyond just mouth and stomach.

Today’s leadership has completely failed – waste, fraud, little or lack of knowledge in implementing projects, getting into power by any means necessary.

It is a matter of urgency that we use our energy and intelligence to a better use else we won’t be so proud of our tomorrow.
