Their colleagues and age-mates from other parts of the world have jobs and they are excelling and doing well simply because they live in functional, well-organised and well-led societies whose leaders care for their welfare and which have strong and booming economies. That is what Nasir wants for Nigeria and the Nigerian youth but most of them just don’t get it. Well the joke is on them and not him and his daughters. Ignorance is a terrible disease. Those youths ought to be thanking God that some of us that are leaders in the political class actually care about such issues and wish to highlight them. The truth is that most Nigerian politicians don’t and they really just don’t ”give a damn”. I commend Nasir for his courage, for the fact that he can cite his daughters’ case as an example and for his efforts. Those young people on Twitter and Facebook that have been insulting and mocking him ought to cut him some slack.
