SPEAK UP! SPEAK OUT!
Over the past month, we have seen a new side to the Nigerian youths, the willingness to speak up against injustice and stand up for our country was both bold and refreshing. We came together in unity not divided by anything or anyone, to speak up for our nation.
We stood together with one voice and gave each other hope, for a united nation, a better tomorrow and a greater nation.
Although there seems to be some sort of normalcy returning to the country, there are some positive outcomes as a result of the events in October. . As such, we cannot let ourselves go back to sleep again, our goal as Nigerians should not be to leave Nigeria but to make Nigeria better. As a young Nigerian, we have a huge part to play in the future of our Nation and our job is to make it better for ourselves and the future generation.
