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."
"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.” the president said
