In fact, youth was the engine on which the 2008 US presidential elections ran.<BR/><BR/>The '.. transformation, through youth's vigor, of [a] moribund and slothful community ..' ' to '... bring back activity and vitality back to that vicinity.'<BR/><BR/>'... Thrust onward by a can-do spirit [YES WE CAN], this organization campaigns for original civic construction, and Gadsby soon gains a post as mayor.'<BR/><BR/>From the primaries, funds mobilization, campaigns and actual voters mobilization, the youths were the foot-soldiers of Obama's success. Of course, Obama 'gains a post' as President.<BR/><BR/>The fact that many people even said 'It can't be done ...' made the writer want to do it. Just as it made America do it.<BR/><BR/>Makes me wonder if Nigerian youths will ever have 'a champion to stand up for them, to show a doubting world that they can make a difference.'<BR/><BR/>In the last elections, I think Donald Duke offered a glimpse of that but he chickened out when it was most important. I also believe that Dr. Pat Utomi did not do enough.<BR/><BR/>Did you say Kris Okotie? please don't let me start on that one.N.I.M.M.Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495100036040996719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660451197688928640.post-7032522188449022762008-11-21T10:42:00.000+01:002008-11-21T10:42:00.000+01:00thanks for the linklol @ carlang and naapali - i g...thanks for the link<BR/><BR/>lol @ carlang and naapali - i guess it is the idea behind the message that matters here; more than the message itselfShubby Doohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739382022583876470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660451197688928640.post-49941754099190900262008-11-21T10:38:00.000+01:002008-11-21T10:38:00.000+01:00@Webround: Wouldn't have noticed it too myself.
