Your University will increase your school fees, and you will immediately join other students to protest because you know your parents don't have that kind of money. You also know that there are people in that same university who are rich enough to pay the increased fees without any difficulty. Yet, some of them will join you to protest because they understand that the issue goes beyond their personal circumstances. Others will stay back because they believe the problem doesn't concern them. You will protest until the school eventually listens and rectifies the situation. You will organise yourselves, mobilise other students, demand accountability and refuse to back down because you understand what is at stake. You have seen what happens when people come together over a common problem. You have seen the strength of numbers. You have experienced the power of unity. Now, take that same understanding beyond the walls of your university. When the government increases the cost of living, when public universities become unaffordable, when hospitals become inaccessible to ordinary Nigerians, when electricity becomes a luxury and when the government makes decisions that affect your future, you suddenly act as though none of it concerns you. You have convinced yourself that your vote doesn't count. You have allowed bad leadership, political manipulation and years of disappointment to make you believe that nothing can change. But you already know what happens when people refuse to accept a situation and stand together to demand change. You have done it before. You have seen it work. The same government that makes decisions about your school fees will make decisions about your employment, your income, your taxes, your security and the future you hope to build. You cannot understand the power of unity in your university and suddenly become powerless when it comes to your country. You are sitting down there, broke, defeated and hungry, convinced that your vote doesn't count because you've been mentally defeated. Your vote is one of the few tools you have to hold political leaders accountable. Use it. Organise. Demand better. Refuse to let anybody convince you that your participation is meaningless. You have already seen what collective action can achieve. Apply that lesson to Nigeria. Your future is being decided, whether you participate or not.
