Dear Nigerian Leaders,

The increase in joblessness in the country, coupled with several other socio-economic disadvantages that stares directly into the eyes of a Nigerian youth is sure something you must address before anything. Majority of you are from very humble or even poor

backgrounds. May be you have quickly forgotten how life was then, because you are now in the corridors of power. Actually things haven't changed for good. If anything, things are worse now. When you were in the shoes of these youths, many of you had free education, or were

sponsored to study overseas. Many of you had automatic jobs before you even finish and above all, the economy was still good & you could afford three square meals without any trouble. That is not the case today. Affording a single meal in Nigeria today is hard for many of us.

We still struggle to pay our bills. May of us are out of school because we cannot afford it, not because we do not know the value of education. Many of us have old parent to cater for, but we cannot do that because we do not have even what to cater for ourselves.

The few of us that are in the university have been at home for months, b cause you failed to settle the demands of the university teachers & improve the state of our universities. For those of us that have graduated, years after the compulsory national service, we are yet to see

a job that we can manage to keep body and soul together. Then, what exactly is left for us in this country of ours? You all know we are not that lazy, even though there are so many lazy ones among us, just as you also have lazy ones among you. But we are sure we are trainable.

We also know that the world generally is facing an economic downturn, but we also know that the country has enough to go round and get to us the masses, if only you will cut your greed, especially from the @NGRSenate @nassnigeria and state governors, and allow the money flow.

If you will agree to the minimum wage that we are struggling to get, the salary of one Nigerian senator can employ 30 very productive production engineers that can work to develop the country. Are we not part of this country that you have decided to sideline us? Life no balance!

Please rethink. Think over and again, and understand that the earlier we come together to fix this country the better for us.

~This is the prayers of a Nigerian youth.
