According
to adage, words of elders are words of wisdom. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, recently tells a story about one of his
friends’ son who asked is father thus: ‘Dad why is our generation is a lost
one?
According to Baba
Iyabo, his father did not pay him any attention; then "He told me what he told his father and
justified it by telling me that he went to the university and graduated but got
no job. So, our generation has failed him. So I told him that it is normal
because that was how we used to blame the generation before us.
"But I told
him that the generation before mine was the one that fought for our
independence. Whichever way we want to criticise them, they gave us
independence. Then my generation which you say is not good, fought the civil
war. We fought for the unity of Nigeria and if we did not do so, you probably
would need a visa to travel to Kano or Port Harcourt. Not only that but that
generation also established the foundation of democracy.
"So what do
you claim your generation has achieved?
The pictures above
and this video link https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=306408342882816
will show you the kind of generation we are!
I saw these photos and the video on a facebook page of
one my friends with lot of comments; some even questioned whether these guys
are even Nigerian? However, I can say categorically that these guys are an Edo indigene
based in Italy. Come to think of it, what can we call this show-off, local
attitude or mismanagement?
No wonder they refer to them as “Human Traffickers", using girls to prostitute
for money. It's the only thing they know and I doubt if Benin people are ever
going to stop it. ‘See what people wrote:
’’ If they are really based in
Italy, they may be part of the human traffickers who make mainly girls from
Benin to swear on parts of their bodies to become prostitute and service the
Italian men on the streets of Italy. Now it is clear how they made the money
they recklessly spend’’.
‘My
question is why the display? What point are they trying to make? They must be
pure illiterates & they must be stupid if they think people will appreciate
this. No hard earned money is spent this way!!! Haba!!?? And I agree to assume
they must be cultists to be in red. God help & forgive us’.
Fast-forward, if Italian police arrested them now,
some useless human right will be saying that Europeans are racist? Has anybody seen
a video where Sir Richard Branson or Mario Balotelli misuses
money like this?
Definitely these are some of the wasted generation.
