Yes of course. The Internet has been a medium where young Nigerians can express themselves fully, champion courses with various hash tags that have changed government policies and focused the government to look in the direction of the people and their pressing needs. One of such is the #ENDSARS campaign to stop police brutality.
However this has led to what we tag 'armchair activism' where many are vocal online ans silent offline, and if I'm honest, I follow under this category of persons. However, this battle must be fought and won on both two separate grounds--online and offline, and we must fully participate. I want to use this opportunity to urge my fellow young Nigerians to fulfil their civic responsible to our beloved country by voting in the next general election. We can't keep on stressing the old rhetoric that our votes doesn't count, how would we know if we never participate in the electoral process?

howdy today sir nonsowrites! well, that is a very noble cause to try and unite the young people and to get them fighting for their future. What a great cause, just getting them aware of what changes are needed is the most important step and then if some powerful people can step forward and help them then things might or should, begin to change.
