AN OPEN LETTER FROM BEN MURRAY-
BRUCE
TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS
Youths of Nigeria, I want to communicate with you today. I noticed
that there are too many division 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 same mistake my generations 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 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 any ministers have they given you? How
any heads of parastatals have they given you? That’s right, the answer is ZERO.
So resist the desire of vested interest 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 the 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 the 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 only want to make
commonsense, I also believe in the Nigerian youths.
