Products of the Wasted Generation!

by Eze Eluchie,

Octogenarian Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, once described his generation of Nigerians as a ‘wasted generation’.

What would be a proper title for the offspring’s, products of this wasted generation?

A generation who cower in the face of infamy;

...who rather than push back when pushed to the wall, will strive to scratch out more space from the wall;

...who rather than stand to challenge their ‘fantastically corrupt’ rulers, will bow in obeisance and worship to criminal elements.

We sure are on track to being the none-generation; a generation which posterity will wish never existed.

And our products?

It is never too late to redefine and refocus – the generation might yet be redeemed.

We might yet have some hope if we restructure and renegotiate the contraption that has held down a generation and people of universally acclaimed individual brilliance and intelligence.
