“You da” On YUDA! by Saanu Micheal

In Lagos metropolis, one of the common offensive way of asking money from the populace by street urchin, bus conductors, Agbero, is by saying “owo da” (give me the money) with a very strong commanding tone, followed by stretching forward an open palm towards the person requested to give the money. Many Lagosians will tell you this especially those that usually board yellow “danfo” bus regularly. What usually follows for any driver or conductor that refuses to bulge is high grade embarrassment, with boxing blows, sometimes blood flows freely, and their tooth gets boxed off.

It’s high time we begin to extend invitation to many youths that have sold out their minds to evil politicians on the altar of greed, foolishness and money in “You da” way   so that our engagement as a political party using the instrument of the YouthFul and UseFul Democratic Alliance will be justified later in the future. Just like Lagos tout will ask money from members of public in an offensive way, sometimes Lagosians give this money so as not to be embarrassed, maltreated and insulted by the tout considered to be in another world of his own where weed, hard drugs and all sorts of concoction rain supreme.

Haven’t we gotten to the point we need to be asking our youths “You da” on YUDA platform, indeed there is no time to check time.

If we really need to stop all the embarrassment, insults melted towards Nigerians home and abroad. We the youth need to start asking other youths “You da” on YUDA platform. Many Nigerians have faced so many difficulties lately from economic meltdown to high inflation, recession, extra judicial killings, xenophobic attacks, deportation from even African countries. It’s high time we start looking at youths who complain and still carry out the will of greedy politicians, we need to give them the look of disdain, the look that tends to tell them ‘You da’ on YUDA

Out of foolishness, some youths keep selling Nigerian future to politicians and this has always being the trend. Politicians will steal our money with the hope of spending a larger percentage on re-election bribes and money allocation schemes to the same youths who are meant to be on YUDA platform.

Youths need to be useful for the nation, we need to position ourselves strategically, let me tell you, if our future is so sweet and palatable in the mouths of older folks, I bet it, they will find it very difficult to release to you and I.  they are busy enjoying this future, let me tell you how, they still go to club at 60 , you think the kind of club you go where you suffer yourself , they are always on safari  and  they do expensive club, where they will have mad fun, they still travel to wherever country they want, they still eat whatever they want . 

They still dictate who should be employed and who shoould not.  Some will adjust their age so as to keep enjoying this future of some #mumu youths, because you really don’t care about the future. What you want to eat now is what you care about. some of them will ask you to collect tax from aged people , to be unfair to your fellow youths, shut down  struggling business who can’t pay tax, increase public fare  without proper consultation, write articles on blogs that are hateful, some of these older folks  will  even ask our youths to carry out assassination mission. These ones have closed their minds to values and God. I am extending invitation to you to become a part of the YouthFul and UseFul Democratic Alliance platform.

“You da” show up …….no time to check time
