Africa has one of the youngest populations in the world — yet its leaders are often among the oldest. In Nigeria, many youth feel ignored by a political system that doesn’t reflect their energy, struggles, or dreams.
But things are changing.
Young people are speaking up, organizing online, and contesting elections. Movements like #EndSARS showed that Nigerian youth are no longer waiting for change — they’re demanding it. Some are running for office. Others are educating voters or holding leaders accountable on social media.

The truth is, the future belongs to the young. They understand the digital world, modern challenges, and what it means to lead in a new era. But for that future to be real, youth must do more than tweet — they must vote, participate, and lead.
Nigeria doesn’t just need new leaders — it needs young, visionary ones who will act with courage and integrity.
