NIGERIAN YOUTHS INVOLVEMENT IN POLITICS.


Nigeria as the giant of Africa is experiencing political instability and one sided policy making body without including the youth. At the global level, there seems to be an understanding that youth are significant dividends of the global population, such that they need to be included in every decision-making process.

Nigeria’s population is young and fast-growing. It is expected to be the world’s third most populous country by 2050 with 400 million inhabitants, the United Nations says.

With nearly 70% of Nigeria’s population below the age of 35, it is therefore crucial that young people are represented in the country’s political systems. 

There have been welcome steps on this front. In May 2018, Nigeria passed a new law which lowered the age limits for political office from 35 to 30 years in the Senate, and 30 to 25 years in the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly. It is disappointing to see that despite the new law in Nigeria paving the way for more young people to be inducted into the leadership framework of the country, none of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominations fall within the new policy’s definition of a young person.


That's the reason we all need to come out with one voice on a desired proclamations that mandate us as young people to take power and not demand because when you are ready to take what's yours, you have to take and not to ask.

Visionary Youth Initiative Int'l- Official has made it possible for Nigeria Youths to have a powerful platform, with representations from all the states in Nigeria and the FCT, we are more than covered in coming together and making it big and powerful to involve and invest time and sacrifice to enable these a reality.


Think big and become powerful to rise your community from slums to cities trough political evolution.


The moment. 🕸

It's biggest problem is the brain, because the brain thinks the body can't pull the weight and the brain controls the body, the body has no chance of pulling it off. Only when you understand the actual course of making your dreams come true you will never make the right choices and beliefs you need to motivate yourself to make it a reality. The pertinaciousness of an individual directs his way of moving way beyond his or her heart subconsciousness to condition the pat...

THE HUMAN POWER

Image
Theories have it that, an average human, at rest, produces around 100 watts of power. Over periods of a few minutes, humans can comfortably sustain 300-400 watts; and in the case of very short bursts of energy, such as sprinting, some humans can output over 2,000 watts. The moment of increase in watts is determined from day to day power generation, and contributes in health management. Evolution has given us an inbuilt fear factory. But by engaging a different way of thinking we can stop panicking and weigh up the real risks, the brings us to the SUPER HUMANS, it's predicted that in the next 300 years with the help of Artificial intelligence (AI) we will be able to enhance the qualities and performance of the human body effectively.

We do know ...

THE FIRST SYMBOLIC WRITING SYSTEMS IN ANCIENT AFRICA

Image
The first syllabic writing system of Africans was the Thinite script. This writing was used first by Blacks in Nubia, like the Niger-Congo people who migrated out of this region into the rest of Africa. The Thinite script provides many of the signs that are included in later scripts used by Africans. There are fifteen African writing systems that predate English, yet ask around if Africa had writing before colonization and some people are likely to deny that Africa had any writing systems before 1500 AD. Not many people know that there are even African writing systems that predate Latin. Latin is one of the oldest languages in the world and seen as one of the great inventions of the Romans, and a sign of their cultural progress. However, what most people don’t know is that thhere are many African writing systems that pre-date Latin. These people often claim that Europe is civilized as it developed writing before the Africans. However, this is blatantly wrong, as there are nine African ...
