The only youths you can find in politics in Nigeria are those that are born by  those  politicans that have have previously, held one office or the other in the country.'' FactualTimes Editor explained.

The Public Affairs Analyst however advised Nigerian youths to make use of available  opportunities in their disposals which will helpful the masses recognize them as agents of progressive change in the country.

"The only way the youths can be part of Nigeria politics is that, they should make useful of the available opportunities in their various learning institutes and working places. I equally charged them to imbibe good moral behaviors at all time. The veteran journalist asserted.

Oyelola stressed further by admonishing Nigerian youths to endeavor in empowering themselves.
"Nigerian youths should be well verse in empowerment. What i mean by empowerment here is that, they should do the needful so that, they will become great persons.''
