Buhari APC youths not happy with President

By -

The All Peoples Congress (APC) Youth Leader, Ibrahim Jalo speaking at the party’s National Youth Conference, said President Buhari’s government has relegated the youth.
According to Punch Newspapers, he said
“it is regrettable that with the population of about 70 million people, the youth who constitute a powerful voting bloc are missing in the political space and have been relegated to playing the role of “active spectators.”
While calling on the government to invest in the youth, Jalo said Nigerian youths no longer want to be seen as leaders of tomorrow.
He said “In most cases, the youths of Nigeria are usually used and dumped by politicians; most especially during elections after getting into office, they rarely have something for the young people.
“When in the real sense they (youths) constitute the majority of the voters, with about 60 per cent of the total voting population. There is this saying that the youths are leaders of tomorrow, but in today’s Nigeria, the tomorrow seems to be endless.”
“After all, we are leaders of today, not tomorrow, because we have waited long enough and this tomorrow remains an elusive business. It is my opinion that young people be given opportunity to serve in leadership position, especially in this government because of the role they played in ensuring victory during the last election,” Jalo said.
The John Odigie Oyegun led All Progressives Congress (APC) was formed on February 6, 2013, as a formidable opposition against the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

Of course, two men can be extremely unequally matched when it comes to strength and size, but the sad truth is that the majority of women can put up little fight against the majority of men purely because of our biological make-up. And that’s a scary thought. Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks - be they sexual assault or robbery - but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages. Top British mixed martial artist Helen ‘Hellraiser’ Harper, who specialises in Jui Jitsu, believes all women should know more self-defence because it brings not only safety but confidence. “In my opinion, women don't have the confidence they should in life let alone in defence,” she told The Independent. “Learning to fend off an at
