 10. Why is it that age brackets are today incapacitated , unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions? My answer is very simple, youth of this generation don't like to risk , so they enjoy staying in their comfort zones.
Also youth of this generation always want to reap where they haven't sowed in other words they are short cut seekers.
The question still remains who is willing to come our in Ebonyi to contest for any political posts , we continue saying Gov. Dave is a bad leader.
