Mohammed Ahmed Yabagi, beyond the appreciable dose of hysteria and laughter that your candid submission on the above issue elicited, it also did a good prognosis of what ails our average youths in Kogi state, and what the greedy elites think of them.

These guys have have reduced our youths to data boys, canon fodders, conflict enablers and executors, spewers of hate, purveyors of fake news, instrument of coercion and merchants of violence. Regrettably, they only hire and recruit these guys to do the dirty jobs, but hardly consider them for decent or beneficial assignments.

By this funny, sickening and very demeaning arrangement, the worth of an average youth in Kogi state is not more than a thousand naira worth of internet data or a bottle of alcohol. Sad.

While they arm you with worthless data and badly brewed alcohol to engage yourselves in war of attrition daily, their children are holed up in Ivy league universities getting the best of education and training, and also grooming them for public office.

Borrow yourselves some sense and desist from mortgaging your future for handouts that can barely sustain you. Free yourselves from their apron strings and engage in something beneficial. You are made in God’s image. Never reduce yourselves to subhuman beings because of crumbs.

These same people who push you to fight yourselves on and off the cyberspace are notorious for using and dumping willing errand boys. None of them gives a hoot about your future or life. Can anyone name any attack dog or political thug in Kogi state who has risen beyond being a rubber stamp or an obscure SSA in the last 20 years?

You are worth more than a data boy or shekpe comrade. You are a star. Stand up and rise above the real and imaginary limitations holding you back.
