Be the Change you want.

By Chinedu Felix Opara ARE THE YOUTHS READY FOR CHANGE? The essence of education is to draw out the potentials within To enhance your reasoning and mental capacity Such that you will be different from someone who doesn't have formal education Unfortunately, many youths today seek for easy way out by engaging in malpractice to get certificate they cannot defend. Are the youths ready for change? That the government officials are not sincere may be correct But how faithful are you in abiding by the law? Common traffic light we can't obey Many times we jump the queue Are the government officials responsible for that too? We embezzle Student Union Government funds We collect bribe in order to cast our votes We go through backdoor for almost everything yet we clamour for change This is not to justify the evils of our leaders. But we need to do our part We can't clamour for change and refuse to change ourselves Change will begin from you and I There is no point asking the youth to lead if we won't do things differently There is no need to seek for leadership when we are not ready to serve The youths are the hope of the future Even if the past generations failed, We can afford to fail Once again I ask Are the youths ready for change? It is a question you and I need to answer with a sincere conscience Backup with necessary actions. To begin the week. Enough of talking about what is wrong It is time to engage our mind positively Let us arise and focus on solution Let us hold our leaders accountable And be the change we seek God bless the youths God bless Nedum Opara God bless Heartland Blaze God bless Nigeria
