The social sphere of the Nigerian youths these days is quite alarming. The standard measurement of civilization amongst us is based on who has the latest gadgets, trending dresses and the like. These are good but not with many “benefits” if not properly harnessed and used.
Don’t join the flock of ‘follow follow’ gang: ask yourself where you are going? with a strategy on how to get there. Being young is not a weakness, it is a blessing to learn and get things right early enough. Get university education, get a job and live a good life. These are the traits you are expected to manifest. You must also live with goals you can’t see, visions that will require the whole universe to conspire for your sake.
You must embrace your own uniqueness, plant a burden that will put you in the race to live a fulfilled life. If you are not hungry enough for your own life, at least don’t disappoint those coming behind you. You are not just alive as a figurehead but as a figure to reckon with.
There is an URGENCY and if you don’t accept who you are, I am sorry, you can’t grow to become who you want to be. Say no! to any form of conformity: you are meant to push boundaries. Don’t just live daily aimlessly, but leave with meaning, live with a goal, live with urgency.
A day is coming you are going to look back and say “a life well spent with joy or a life wasted with regrets”. It’s a matter of choice.
