1/ We throw the word “youth” around quite a bit and we use a standard UN age definition but really, is that what youth is?
For me, youth is an “experience” captured beet within a specific age range BUT that age range is NOT sacrosanct and varies from circumstance to country

2/ My alternate definition of “youth” is “the age range uninterrupted by tragedy where you have reasonable financial independence, near zero responsibility and the freedom to waste it all and still have opportunity to start afresh”
3/ This combination allows you to be most creative because there’s no burden of responsibility nor fear of failure and we, as Nigerians, have to redefine “youth” to capture our uniqueness and experience and ensure we extract the true value from the population.
