A Development Expert, Sina Fagbenro-Byron, has called on the youths of the nation to step up to the challenges they are facing, as a result of the actions and inactions of the older generation.
While speaking on Sunrise Daily, he said that Nigeria’s 53rd independence signals the time for reflection and action. “Nigeria is at crossroads, we need to think, look back a bit to be able to move forward.”
Nigerian people, he said, are designed to show that there is the possibility and capability of the black man to be liberated.
However, he warned that the process of emancipation is not “a tea party”.
He expressed hope that the nation will overcome its many challenges and emphasised that “you have to have had challenges, in order to achieve successes”. Nigeria is now at a point where the people have to start “re-calibrating”.
Contrary to public opinion that the older generation has not left a legacy for the younger one to follow, Mr Bryon said each generation has to find ways to solve its challenges.
Every generation says that it was better in its own time, he said, adding that “you will have something to look up to as there are new dynamics” such as internet.
