A youth advocacy group , All Campus Show , has called for a re- orientation among Nigerian youths and the political class to achieve national development.
The group made the call recently at a rally tagged, “ Nigeria Must Change” held in Lagos . President of the group , Busuyi Ojo insisted that youths must go beyond complaining and start effecting the change they crave by interacting positively with their immediate environment , while the ruling class must correct the persistent malfeasance of corruption and insensitivity towards the youth and the future of the country .
Founder and producer of the Not In My Country project, Akin Fadeyi, echoed the group ’s call , stating that a developed society is a result of symbiosis between good leadership and followership. According to him , “ Nigeria has no government, we have big men who sit in big cars, blow siren , knock down people on the road and use their connection to subvert justice . Government should not expect citizens who are not taken care of to be responsible. Citizens especially the youths should also not think that only the government could put in place a responsible nation . Nigerian youths should spend less time on social media , go to the drawing board and think creatively and strategically. ”
