The forth coming electioneering period in Akwa ibom is like a ticking time bomb awaiting its set time to explode, while so many politicians are busy buying guns and canvassing for shooters, also so many youths have already made up their minds to die by agreeing to become the tools that will be used to achieve this selfish ambitions.
If thuggery and ballot box kidnapping was such a decent job, i wonder why have never seen a notice asking people to apply to be employed as thugs and ballot box kidnappers. Most of our youths are so blind folded by the stipends they are paid to carry guns that they are ready to kill a fellow youth in order to satisfy another man's selfish interest. No wonder the bible had said and i quote " My people suffer for lack of knowledge", i put it my own way, " Our youths die and perish for lack of knowledge, awareness and enlightenment. For what shall it profit us, if we kill ourselves for another man interest?. They are the same people that will turn around to say that the present youths are not competent, not educated and do not have what it takes to become better leaders of today. Its high time we start thinking with our head and not with our anus.
Akwa Ibom Youth Peace Summit is an idea by some distinguished Akwa ibom youth leaders, ready to pilot this train of change, its a summit that is poised to enlighten youths on the reasons why we should be united as a voice during the forth coming elections rather than pursue ourselves with guns, its a summit that is meant to give youths a voice and a reason why we should give them back their guns and proof to them that we are competent, capable, educated, civilized and that we are ready to be a voice of reason and not of treason. its high time we ask them to bring their sons and daughters to lead the way, that is if they ask us to steal ballot boxes for them, they should bring their sons and daughters to lead the team. its time we stop selling our rights for a pot of beans.
AKWA IBOM PEACE SUMMIT comes up on the 13th, feb, 2014. Time-10.00am, Venue-Uyo Town Hall . if you are a youth then its an opportunity for you to come and bare your mind.
Anticipate 2015 Elections; Anticipate Akwa ibom Peace summit.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE.
