In the post on Facebook, he wrote: “Youths of Nigeria, I want to
communicate with you today. I noticed that there are too many divisions
amongst our youths and as a stakeholder in Nigeria and parent of
Nigerian children, I believe I ought to intervene. Youths, do not make
the mistakes my generation made.
Do not see yourselves through tribal and religious lens. My
generation of Nigerians did that and look where it has led us. You must
do better. It is foolish for any youth to fight another youth over APC
or PDP. Let me ask you, what is the difference between the APC and the
PDP?
Half of the members of the APC are former PDP members and vice versa.
Let me ask you youths a question: Do the APC and the PDP fight over
you as you fight over them? How many ministers have they given you? How
many ambassadors have they given you?
How many heads of parastatals have they given you? That’s right, the
answer is ZERO! So resist the desire of vested interests to control you
and use you to fight other youths on social media and in real life. What
youths do not realize is that you are victims of divide and conquer.
You make up 60% of the population yet account for 0% of the federal
cabinet! Your price should be more than a plate of rice and a handshake.
Work together not against each other! Come on Nigerian youths, be
smart! If you think after you have been used to fight each other these
vested interests will hand power to you, think again.
Their kids who are abroad will do same to your kids! It is time to
end the hate and come together for Nigeria’s good. Long after we are
gone, you will be around. So learn to get along. As I have said and I
will keep saying, the youths are the leaders of today if only they will
resist being used by vested interests.
How old is Trudeau, the Canadian PM. He was 43 when he became PM. You
can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord. You can be like
Trudeau’s. My name is Ben Murray Bruce and I not only want to make
commonsense, I also believe in the Nigerian youth.”
