On Amazon alone, Nigerian Youths have come to dominate, making trades all over the world. The die-hard attitude of Nigerian Youths in all sectors of life is exemplary. In fact, it is no news anymore that Nigerians are the most-enterprising, educated and committed set of people you would meet in most European and American countries.  

But, this is only made possible by groundbreaking policies and institutions initiated and put in place by forward-thinking leaders from both the private and public sectors of these countries. 

Back home, Nigerian leaders, have continued to shamelessly brandish their naivety, corruptive tendencies, and gluttonous cravings for the mundane, while the masses strive daily to live above water. The recent and ongoing traffic encountered by the political parties as aspiring leaders churn out hundreds of millions of naira for party forms, in the midst of the biting hunger hitting out at the ordinary man in the street, is a testament to the psychological make-up of these so-called leaders.

However, Nigerian Youths have been resilient. Gratefully, globalization and the wonders of the internet have, and are making it possible for Nigerians in Nigeria, and other Africans in Africa to enjoy the trickle-down effect of great policies and institutions put in place by the developed worlds and their right-thinking leaders, despite the extensive physical distance.

One of such-trickle down effect, is the way and manner, Nigerian Youths are becoming self-reliant, self-sufficient and less criminally-inclined. In recent times, Nigerian Youths have become more focused in building themselves rather than hoping for the government to churn out policies which will be productivity-inclined. This is not to say that they have become less-concerned about the economic, political and security states of the nation. 

On the contrary, they are more concerned now, but having realized that their leaders had, will, and would always offer them peanuts because of their hungry status, to have their ways, have gone on to tackle their sickening economic positions by being industrious.

On Amazon alone, Nigerian Youths have come to dominate, making trades all over the world. The KDP literary arm of Amazon, has also witnessed a geometric surge in book publishing by Nigerians. All these, without mincing words, are in bids of breaking even and having a say in the affairs of the nation as it should be.

While the nation may presently be ran by this set of leaders who remain unperturbed about its state, the 2023 elections will be an avenue for the Youths to make decisive statements in the choice of leaders they want from then.
