Every time an opportunity presents itself for our youth to engage leaders in the society, they waste such opportunity with attitudes that justifies their relegation. Rather than aim to score a point or trend with rants and popular gossips, why not ask questions that matter? ⛱

The woke-culture styled belligerent and uncultured engagement of the left wing press with Trump is not a standard. They were doing this as a means of auditioning to be tapped for rattling/triggering the President. They know the reward in endorsement & book deals.

What would your gain be in Nigeria? A 3-4 hour feature on the Twitter trend table? And then what?

It may take years before you get this but I will say it all the same. Every time you speak or share your views, it is read and heard as though you’re speaking for your generation.

With this great power of representation comes greater responsibility because others will be judged by your representation. When it comes to issues of national importance, your emotions and feelings won’t replace facts and reality. Do your homework & make the experience count.

You don’t engage people with pedigree & towering leadership experience as though you are suffering under the surge of hormonal chaos.

You may not get another opportunity on any platform with such attitude, as you may have sent a message to others.

We all deserve respect.

There is a difference between online interaction and cross examination in a Tribunal.

If you have a bone to pick with anyone or wish to use the moment to prove/disprove a perception of others about you, you are ideally unfit to participate in such a public national discourse.
