If There’ll Be A Revolution In Nigeria, The Almajiris, Not BBNaija-loving Youth Will Stir It, By Fredrick Nwabufo | Sahara Reporters

If Nigeria’s young are timid, tractable and apathetic to economic and political issues affecting their country, blame the anvil on which they are forged. The government, the formative schools, the universities and the predatory politics – all are the forgers of today’s youth. A system, which lobotomises the young from nascency has already denied them not only the ability to emote, think, act, but also the power to speak up for themselves, fight for their rights and defend themselves.

Only 50 kobo increase in the cost of daily meals for students actuated a nationwide revolt. But today, what has changed? I will explain. Our formative schools and universities are no longer centres of critical learning. They are now robot factories where anyone who goes in as human comes out as a machine with flesh – beaten, broken, pliable and malleable.

The National Association of Nigerian Students is now a club of men battling middle-age crisis. The association is, in fact, a chapter of any ruling party of the day. It is utterly porous of ideas and intellectual grit. There is no shade of difference between today’s NANS and the National Union of Road Transport Workers – led by MC Oluomo. NANS only thrives for its sheer industry of violence and capacity for noise.
