While speaking at the
launch of the Youth Employment in Agriculture
Programme at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, President
Jonathan said that while young Nigerians are venturing into music, acting and
other activities that bring glory to Nigeria, the older generation are in
politics insulting, abusing themselves and causing problems for young
Nigerians.
"For the Nigerian young men and women, those who we have
seen today and the ones outside there, we appreciate and commend you because
anything that you are involved, you bring glory to this country. Anything
that the old people like us are involved in, it is always problems. Young
people are involved in sports, soccer, athletics and so on, and within the
period that I have been here as Vice President and President, they have always
been bringing glory to us."
The president said "Young
people are involved in the movie, popularly called Nollywood, and this
continues to bring glory to us. Young people are involved in music, like
D-Banj, and they always continue to bring glory to us. But see politics
that old people like us are involved in, we continue to quarrel and abuse
ourselves everyday and create problems for innocent Nigerians. So, we
believe that the future of this country is in the hands of young people. The
young Nigerians will surely take us to where we want to be. One day, you
will take us to the moon. I believe in the young, creative and talented people.
Surely, we will create enabling environment for you because you stand for the
future of this country and you will make this country great.”
