I set out to get my voter’s card few weeks ago after much convincing. I finally got the voter’s card after two days of hustling. The hustle was real though. The Two Generations I was speaking about two generations at a Sustainable Development Goals Awareness Symposium we held sometime in June- The Hand- Over Generation and the Take- Over Generation. The Hand- Over Generation: They are the current generation in power. Who are the Take- Over Generation? You, and I- The Youth. We are the ones that will take over power and drive the change we want to see in our societies. Why Voter’s Card? According to population statistics, we make up about 60% of the population, if not more. The voter’s card is our key to the change we want to see. Imagine if every one of us has a voter’s card and we exercise our voting power rightly. That way we begin to dictate those that hold our political offices and put an end to bad leadership.

The disease seemed to especially plague armies in  the field and cities that were under siege for  long periods of time.  Later, following the discove...

Youth for Peace by David Edet I have dreams, visions and ambitions. I am not the only youth with dreams and ambitions. We are all humans, and being humans we are different in every ramification and sphere, making the means by which we intend getting to our dreams and ambitions different even though our dreams of a better life, a better world  for ourselves, family and friends are alike. The absence of conflict is taken generally to mean peace, but conflicts has has been found to be a part of human existence. If peace is the absence of conflict then peace is death. So I present peace as compromise . As Youth we all crave for a better future and better world which could be seen as the end, and as its said "the end justifies the means" but you know of the various ends we have been having around us and in the world which points to the means that it  justifies.    As Youth lets come to a compromise of our means and have a large level playing ground on every sphe...
