Arise, Nigerian Youths!!!

Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria: Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu
Bello (36), Balewa (34), Okotie-Eboh (27), and Enahoro (27) led d struggle for
independence after d death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at d time. In 1966, d
first coup was led by: Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala
Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba
(23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23) and brought into power
Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29), Buhari (24). Most of the military
administrators who governed d states under d successive military regimes,
most of whom are governors now, were under 30 years. The brief democratic
dispensation which interjected d military interregnums also saw d House of
Representatives in particular populated by majority of members under 30
years as well as some senators. Under 30s were also not in short supply with
appointments, we have examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs
minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so
on and so forth. SEE MORE AFTER CUT>>>
