The Armless Fight Between Youths and Political Elites on Who are the Leaders of Tomorrow and its Implications on Nigeria Education (original) (raw)

This paper examines the armless fight between youths and political elites on who are the leaders of tomorrow and its implications on Nigeria education and development. It is obvious in Nigeria that the political elites have held permanently to power and that the youths have no hope of becoming leaders of tomorrow they were told because tomorrow is futuristic and so, cold war exists. There is the belief that those in power will not give up their position willingly and so action is required to shift them to allow what is required take place. Lack of actions in this direction has denied a lot of youths the emancipatory learning. This paper posits that the nation Nigeria is only paying for what they denied the youths-transformation by way of conscientisation. A transformed individual cannot conform to what is not right, not just, not fair, unethical, immoral and corrupt. As a follow up, the youths should develop themselves skillfully, to be a solution provider, be creative and critical in thinking, and therefore, watch the opportunity present itself someday take over power. Also, learners should be exposed to adequate and current education and modern analytical techniques. Conscientisation pedagogical approaches should be adopted or integrated for all disciplines in schools at all levels.
