youth resurge movement in african history

The term "youth resurge" refers to a trend in which young people become more politically active and
engaged. In African history, there have been several examples of youth-led movements that have
played a significant role in shaping the political and social landscape of the continent.

One notable example is the Soweto Uprising in South Africa in 1976. The uprising was sparked by the
protest of students against the implementation of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools. The
protest was led by high school students, and it soon spread to other parts of the country, becoming a
major turning point in the struggle against apartheid. The Soweto Uprising is considered one of the
most important youth-led movements in African history, as it demonstrated the power of young people
to effect change and bring about political and social reform.

Another notable example is the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, also known as the January 25 Revolution,
which led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak. The revolution was largely led by young
people who used social media and other digital platforms to organize protests and demonstrations. The
youth-led movement played a critical role in bringing about political change in Egypt and the Arab
world.

In the 1960s, a youth-led movement in Ghana to overthrow the President Kwame Nkrumah was led by
the Union of Ghana Students. This movement and the subsequent coup in 1966, was led by mostly
young officer s in the military, they later became known as the "Young Turks"

In recent years, there have been other examples of youth-led movements across Africa, such as the
#EndSARS movement in Nigeria in 2020, which called for an end to police brutality and was led by
young people.

In conclusion, there have been several examples of youth-led movements in African history that have
played a significant role in shaping the political and social landscape of the continent. These
movements, often led by young people, have demonstrated the power of young people to effect change
and bring about political and social reform.

where is soweto

"South Western Township". It is situated on the southwestern side of Johannesburg, and it is one of the
biggest townships in South Africa, with a population of over one million people. Soweto is known for
its rich history, particularly for its role in the anti-apartheid movement, and it is a popular tourist
destination. It is a place where people can learn more about the history of South Africa and the fight
against racial segregation.

are there any instances in history where countries lacked strong youth movement

There have been instances in history where countries have lacked a strong youth movement. This can
happen for a variety of reasons, such as:

1. Oppression and suppression of political activity: In countries where political activity is heavily
restricted and oppressed, it can be difficult for youth to organize and mobilize into a cohesive
movement.

2. Lack of education and resources: In countries with high levels of poverty and limited access to
education, young people may not have the resources or knowledge to organize and participate
in political movements.

3. Societal values and norms: In some cultures, young people may be expected to conform to
traditional roles and may not be encouraged to challenge societal norms or engage in political
activity.
4. Lack of political freedom: In countries where political freedom is limited, it can be difficult for
youth to organize and mobilize into a cohesive movement.

5. Fear of repression: In countries where political repression is common, young people may be
hesitant to organize and participate in political movements for fear of being arrested or harmed.

6. Political apathy: In some cases, young people may not be interested or motivated to engage in
political movements.

These are just a few examples, there are many other factors that can contribute to a lack of a strong
youth movement in a country, and it varies from one country to another. It's important to note that
youth movements are not present in all countries and not all youth movements are the same.

what is the percentage, average or workforce of youths that leave nigeria on a yearly basis

I'm sorry, but I don't have an exact percentage, average or workforce of youths that leave Nigeria on a
yearly basis. However, there is a significant number of Nigerian youth who leave the country for
various reasons such as seeking better economic opportunities, education and to escape political or
social unrest. According to some sources, it is estimated that millions of Nigerians have emigrated in
the past few decades. The Nigerian diaspora is one of the largest in the world, and it's composed of a
large number of young people. The Nigerian government has also reported that a large number of
Nigerian youth leave the country illegally every year, through dangerous and irregular migration
routes, in search of better opportunities. The exact numbers of youth migration from Nigeria is not
well documented, but it is considered a significant issue by both the government and the international
community.

are there any instances in history where countries lacked strong youth movement and in what countries

There have been instances in history where countries have lacked a strong youth movement. Here are a
few examples:

1. In the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the government heavily suppressed any form of
political dissent, making it difficult for young people to organize into a cohesive movement.

2. In China during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), the government heavily suppressed
political dissent and promoted a single ideology, making it difficult for young people to
organize into a cohesive movement.
3. In Iran under the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979), political dissent and organizations were heavily
suppressed, making it difficult for young people to organize into a cohesive movement.

4. In North Korea, the government heavily suppresses political dissent and promotes a single
ideology, making it difficult for young people to organize into a cohesive movement.

5. In Saudi Arabia, political activity is heavily restricted and suppressed, making it difficult for
young people to organize into a cohesive movement.

6. In some African countries, youth movements were not present due to lack of education and
resources, societal values and norms, lack of political freedom, fear of repression and political
apathy.

It's important to note that youth movements are not present in all countries and not all youth
movements are the same. The political, social and economic circumstances of a country are some of
the factors that can contribute to the presence or lack of youth movements.

what are effects of lack of workforce in a country [nigeria]

The lack of a workforce in a country can have several negative effects. Here are a few examples:

1. Reduced economic growth: A lack of a workforce can lead to a shortage of labor, which can
negatively impact economic growth and development.

2. Decreased productivity: Without a sufficient workforce, productivity may decline as companies


struggle to find enough workers to meet their needs.

3. Difficulty in meeting labor demands: A lack of a workforce can make it difficult for companies
to fill job openings and meet the demands of their customers.

4. Higher costs: Without enough workers, companies may have to pay higher wages to attract and
retain employees, leading to higher costs for goods and services.

5. Increased unemployment: A lack of a workforce can lead to increased unemployment as


companies struggle to find enough workers to meet their needs.

6. Lack of skill and innovation: A lack of a workforce can lead to a lack of skills and innovation
as there will be a lack of human resources to drive the economy and the country.

7. Dependence on foreign labor: A lack of a workforce can lead to a country becoming dependent
on foreign labor to fill job openings, which can lead to social and economic issues.

8. Brain drain: A lack of a workforce can lead to a phenomenon known as brain drain, where
highly skilled and educated individuals leave the country in search of better economic
opportunities.

These are just a few examples, but the effects of a lack of workforce can be significant and wide-
reaching. It's important to note that the effects of a lack of workforce may vary depending on the
specific country and its economic and political conditions.

NEWWWWWWWWWWW

Obidient Movement[edit]
Younger generations under 30 proved to be some of the biggest Obi's supporters, showing their support via social media and protests and street marches. [58] Aisha Yesufu, a prominent
activist noted as the cofounder of the #BringBackOurGirls movement and a supporter of the End SARS campaign, endorsed Obi in her first-ever endorsement of a presidential candidate.
[59]

Young supporters of Obi's campaign have been nicknamed "Obidients". [18][19] In an article in Business Day, it was argued that:[60]

"[The Obi-Dients] are attracted by Peter Obi's ideology of frugality, economic production rather than the ostentatious consumerism and waste, and resourceful
management and investment in key sectors, for economic growth and development."
Commentators have argued that Obi's third party candidacy appeals to young voters dissatisfied with the two major parties, which has resulted in the "biggest political movement in recent
Nigerian history."[61] With his core message of prudence and accountability, Obi has managed to gain the backing of voters for his previously largely unknown Labour Party into a strong
third force against two political heavyweights.[62] Before campaigns were officially kicked off, Obi's supporters held a series of One Million Man Marches in several Nigerian cities
including Makurdi, Calabar, Lafia, Port Harcourt, Afikpo, Owerri, Enugu, Auchi, Abuja, Kano, Ilorin, Abakaliki and Ibadan. The marches were not part of the official campaigns; as they were
led by volunteer Obi supporters and not Obi's in-house team or political party. The marches experienced massive turnouts. [63][64][65][66]

Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education in Nigeria in an interview with Channels Television said that Nigerian women are more inclined toward the presidency of Peter Obi.
[67]

Selection of running mate[edit]


Physician Doyin Okupe initially served as the temporary running mate of Obi until a substantive candidate could be selected. [68] In the run-up to the final selection of a running mate, media
outlets reported that there was an effort to have former Senator Shehu Sani of Kaduna State serve as Obi's running mate.[69]

On 8 July 2022, Obi unveiled his running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed. Speaking on his choice of the vice presidential candidate, he stated as follows:

"This is our right to secure, unite and make Nigeria productive. And you can do that without having people who have similar visions, ideas and are prepared for the
task. So, I have the honour today to present to you, God willing, Nigeria's next vice president in the person of Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed." [70]

NNNNNNNNN
The 61-year old former governor emerges as first credible third-party candidate since return to democracy in 1999

Only a few months ago, the contest for Nigeria’s presidency in the February 2023 elections was billed as a straightforward battle between two
wealthy septuagenarian veterans who had been on the political scene for more than three decades.

But former state governor Peter Obi, a comparatively youthful 61, has shaken up the race to replace outgoing president Muhammadu Buhari.

With his promises of frugality and accountability, he has attracted the support of a youthful, “Obidient” movement tired of a profligate elite.
It would be a major upset if a candidate from a small party won, given the strength of Nigeria’s established political parties and their deep
pockets.

But Obi has excited parts of a disillusioned electorate, topping three recent polls, leading by eight points in a poll by NOI, a leading local
pollster. “People like his frugal attitude and his message about cutting the cost of governance,” said Idayat Hassan, director of the Centre for
Democracy and Development think-tank.

“But beyond that, young people are using him as a vehicle to channel their frustration with the Nigerian system. He’s not running just for
himself, if you check online sentiment, you’ll see he’s running on behalf of young people,” Hassan said.

Two political parties, the APC and PDP have dominated Nigerian politics and Obi is the first credible “third-force” candidate since the return
to democracy in 1999.

Obi faces Bola Tinubu, the 70-year-old former governor of Lagos and candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress, and Atiku Abubakar
of the main opposition People’s Democratic party, a former vice-president and serial presidential hopeful. Obi ran as the vice-presidential
candidate for the PDP in 2019. His campaign for the little-known Labour party has gained momentum partly because of frustration with
these two familiar — and elderly — faces.

At 70 and 75, Tinubu and Atiku (there is significant doubt about how old Tinubu is) are hoping to preside over a nation that has a median age
of 18. Tinubu’s campaign surrogates have spent much of the early campaign batting away questions about his health.

“Voting for [Obi] doesn’t mean Nigeria is going to be better immediately. He can’t fix everything but with him there’s a headway,” said Susan
Abies, a driver in the southern city of Benin. Obi’s support among young urban voters is also a reaction to Buhari’s second term in office that
has brought 33 per cent unemployment, nationwide protests against police brutality and a ban on Twitter that curtailed speech among a
social media-savvy generation, said Adewunmi Emoruwa, lead strategist at Gatefield, a public affairs consultancy,

“Young people realised they were not top of the priority list of the old- guard politicians and started looking for a new figure to represent
them. Young people are backing Obi because they believe he is the most credible candidate,” Emoruwa said.

The vocal support for Obi traces its roots to the #ENDSARS protests of October 2020 when young Nigerians flocked to the streets to
denounce a police unit notorious for extortion, brutality and extrajudicial killings. Obi voiced his support on Twitter and used the movement
to call for better governance in Nigeria.

The police unit was disbanded and the movement was eventually quelled by the heavy-handed response of Nigeria’s military. The CDD’s
Hassan added that the two main parties’ choice of candidates had also upset Nigeria’s “informal” zoning agreement in a way that could
benefit Obi, a devout Catholic.

While power in Nigeria normally alternates between north and south and Muslim and Christian, the PDP chose Atiku, a northern Muslim, as
its candidate to follow Buhari, another Muslim northerner.

The ruling APC has a ticket of Tinubu, a Muslim southerner, and Kashim Shettima, a northern Muslim, as his running mate. Religious groups
have decried the perceived marginalisation of Christians. “Obi is not just the candidate of the young people, he could eventually be a
candidate of the church,” said Hassan.

For all the enthusiasm surrounding Obi’s candidacy, his path to Aso Villa, Nigeria’s presidential residence, is littered with obstacles. No
presidential candidate outside the main two parties has garnered more than 7.5 per cent of the vote since 1999.

Candidates need to win at least 25 per cent of the vote in at least two-thirds of Nigeria’s 36 states plus Abuja, the capital, to be declared the
winner. The leading candidates have the advantage of a nationwide party machinery backed by governors and members of parliament that
Obi’s party, with only one senator and no governor, lacks.

Obi has said he is undeterred. “The 100mn Nigerians that live in poverty [and] the 35mn Nigerians who don’t know where their next meal
will come from will be the [party] structure.”

Nigeria’s devastating floods, which have destroyed farmland across many states, add to the country’s economic problems, he said. “At a time
when our country contends with rising food insecurity . . . the ravaging floods will have deleterious consequences on food production,” Obi
tweeted on Tuesday.

The wealthy businessman, with interests in everything from banking to a brewery, has promised to encourage local production and remove
Nigeria’s costly petrol subsidies. But his critics say he has yet to provide a clear plan for tackling problems such as insecurity, oil sabotage,
low revenues and inflation of more than 20 per cent.

Last year, the Pandora Papers investigation, a release of leaked files on wealth held offshore, revealed he owned business entities registered
in tax havens and had failed to declare them to Nigeria’s asset registry for politicians. He said he did not know he had to declare assets jointly
owned with his wife and children and that he had not broken any laws. Critics have said Obi’s candidacy could split the opposition vote and
hand victory to the ruling party.

Obinna Kanu, a 25-year-old first-time voter, shares those concerns: “The best-case scenario is that Obi wins but my personal goal is to shift
the needle in Nigeria. “The current powers that be have to be aware that the youth can bring a third relevant party,” he added.
“Even if Obi doesn’t win but gains 10-15 per cent of the vote, we can show the older generation that has sucked this country dry that this is
just the beginning and the two-party system is coming to its end.”
