Is the current generation capable of changing the situation of Nigeria?

When i talk about the present generation I'm talking about those within the age range of 18- 40 years. Today there's so much confusion in naija as aresult of social and economic problems created by our own parents who doesn't seem to have any solution. I need contributions on how we can change the situation and make naija a better place even if not for ourselves atleast for our children.

Welcome to the realization of this reality here.If U insist on bringing serious issues to the fore,some would call U a nerd or geek.However,dont let that dampen ur spirit.

Their attitude towards this topic goes a long way to answer ur question.This country is a very wicked country.A defined a wicked country as where people engage in empty argument when serious actions are needed.The Nigerian youth is not exempted from my indictment.We ve soaked in the vices of the last generation(our father's generation)We ve acquired all the negative features of that generation.

This is not to say there's no more hope for us.There's hope.However,I dont see any promise yet.If any serious steps are not taken,our generation would be worst than this one we diss.We are turning out to not only be a bad generation,we are becoming a LAZY generation.

Nice post but its kinda hard! We are all praying for the glory of Nigeria, but to say the fact this generation of ours can't do much, to start with we are all after money, getting everything done within secs and been comfortable without considering its effects on other's. I think those to change this country for the real good and to place it at the  position its ought to be are yet to be born.

Dude!I'd ve loved to share in ur enthusiasm,but the realist in me wont allow that.For U to talk about birth,we must ve a pregnancy.There is none yet.Until I see one,my indictment would only go worse.If care is not taken,our fathers' generation would be better than ours.At least,some of them had respect for hard work(something that is very scarce in ours)They had the Wole Soyinkas & all,we ve Yahooboys.lol

I don't think our present generation can do anything to our problem, since my guy (Mr. Cleverman) started this topic on 09/10/2008 till am replying only 43 viewers and 11 replies, but if it's concerning (oko&obo) u will c more dan 1000 viewers and replies, by this, we are not well train to help the Naija, the place u will hear commissioners dies on top of Ashawo in hotel, for the heavy work he carried he suppose not have chance for his wife talkless of taking harlot around, go around our states now except Lagos u will not see any project, no road, no light, no water, just like our govs. were there only to pay salary for the state nothing more, nawa for Naija.

My fear here is the fact that most of our present generation has learnt nothing from the outgoing leaders but their despicable acts. Most of our youth now thinks it is the normal way of doing things, the only hope for justice (the judiciary) is bastardise and therefore you can't run to the  police for help, Police station is the headquarters for corruption.
In order to put things right people or individuals must be ready to bear the consequence of their actions which brings us back to upholding the law. The Nigerian police does not even know the law, only one out of forty knows what they are doing. Please go to their stations and see how they are treating Nigerian citizens without anyone to question them, they only incline to where ever the cash is flowing, no one care about the law, as far as they are concern their gun is the law.
How is our present generation wants to go about it without any backing especially from the judiciary?
I like to be positive but how? in these case, Most of our right minded present generation would care much about getting jobs and eating three square meals with our families than chasing shadows that will get us killed leaving our families into further squalor that will make them regret ever having us.
How many Nigerians will refuse to sell their votes during election? How many Nigerians will contribute money monthly to sponsor a genuine political party without relying on the old or outgoing thieves? How many of us truly pay our taxes for basic amenities to justify good governance? These are the  things I believe we should start with in order to give ordinary Nigerians power to put good people into relevant position and gradually chase away the sharks.
How many of our present generation capable to list themselves up as One of the citizen to answer the questions and make happen the above? It's not going to be easy.

Well said.There seem to be almost nothing positive to be learned from the outgoing(that's if they are really leaving the scene) political class.I will not stop to call them a horde of khakistocratic kleptocrats.All they ve succeeded in doing is mortgage our future & that of future generations.Can we change things,YES!But is there any sign of that?NO!We ve masterfully perfected their ways.Some youths ve already taken their fathers' place in their fathers' secret societies.So what are we talking about?they ve being groomed to not only act like the old generation,but to be worst.This is part of the reasons why the realist in me has transformed me into a pessimist.
