What will your generation do for Nigeria? ex President Olusegun Obasanjo ask Nigerian youths
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday asked Nigerian youths what
would their generation do to make Nigeria a better place. According to
him, although his generation had failed Nigerians in some area, it
cannot be denied that his generation brought about the Unity of the
country. He said this when he spoke at the one day symposium organized
by the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mines and Agriculture
(KADCCIMA).
"My own generation fought for the unity of Nigeria. You cannot deny
that. There are many things we must have done wrong but we fought for
the unity of this country. I still have sharp nails from grenades that
entered my body that our brothers shot at me during the civil war. But,
at the end of it we reconciled. In addition, my generation laid the
foundation of democracy in the country. Our democracy is not perfect,
our democracy is a journey and not a destination, and we must continue
to improve on it. My sons and daughters, what will your generation do?
Condemnation is easy but what will you do? There are some people who
have taken the bull by the horn and tried their best. But, all in all
Nigeria.is still intact. There are many countries that fought civil wars
and they are not together. Yugoslavia, Pakistan, Sudan, we fought a
civil war sadly, but we are still together. I think for God and thank
those who made that possible”he said
