We all had tough time growing up in Nigeria because of a bad leaders and system of governance.

Nigeria is a country everyone in the world would desire to visit but a country that has been blackmailed by system of government and lack of good leaders. Nigeria gains her independent in the year 1960 by the British Government. Officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states at the moment and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with over 250 Tribes/ethnic Groups. The major tribes are Hausa, Yoruba and the Igbo.

The problem Nigeria is facing today have nothing to do with older people ruling us but the fact that the same people in circle, is like same idea from direct person. This has made the slow growth to the country. For Nigeria to get better we must think outside the box, seeking a fresh minded person with a fresh idea. 247 Nigeria news update is not only to give you guys news on what is going on in Nigeria or problem facing the country...We are here to educate Nigerians and non-Nigerians about our great motherland.

Why ...
... I tagged the title of this article “Nigerian youth are slowing down their hope” is to let them think of how they can stop themselves to be used by selfish politicians who promised and never fulfill anything. My best advice is for the youth to form a party that can step up with the current parties in the country. Joseph was thirty years old when he came into power, David in the Bible was thirty years old when he became a king and Jesus was thirty as well and lived for three years which brought great redemption to human race. All this name where people who fought and won, they did not only fight but the sacrifice. One of Nigerian musician once say his song “suffering and smiling” his name is Fela anikulapo.
