 Now, the Executive Director of Development Specs Academy, OKI Kechukwu, has challenged youth to make informed, non-violent interventions in policies. Kechukwu called for an active participation and conflict-sensitive commentaries on national issues via social media platforms. He said Nigerian youth should be very involved in electoral processes in the grassroots, a fundamental cell in the political system. At the round table talk, also bear their minds. Am I correct? Yes, sir. Or grade your interventions? Those ones who are running the local governments are the ones that select delegates to national conventions and eventually they are the ones that select those people who now are presented to us to vote. And when we look at them, we will say, no, how can I go and vote between this one and this one? It means I have no choice. But how did that happen? We neglected the local government. The local government is the fundamental cell of the political system, the local government. How many of you here, how many of you are involved in the government of your local government? In the affairs of your local government? Maybe almost none. The youth population is about 60-something percent and yet the remaining 30-something percent is busy toying around with your affairs, determining whether you get a job or not. And gladly, you follow the risk of them sheepish. Why is it that you are following them sheepish again because you lack a sense of history? Let's face it, some of the politicians who appear in buying forms, when they appear here and now, you will run after them, you will do self-view with them. The same persons who are ruining your future. As an existential being, how will this man affect my life? If you understand this, then you structure the way you relate with them and you structure the demands you make on them. Organized groups take a lot out of states, out of government. In the U.S. Rifle Association, they are very strong. Students that everybody here has talked about, they have some bargaining chip to their stand that they are organized. So if you don't belong to any association, you are on your own. If you don't belong to any group, professional students, group, vocational, even religious, you are losing out already. Your voice will not be heard. You can get out in street corners and lament from one end to another. Nothing comes out from it. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
