Lies upon lies then which one do I believe, too many to recount, too many to disbelief and consider the most outstanding lies in my life. Not as if these lies are going to end any soon. I have expected the lies to end, but it is just like a turning pot lies. When it is cold, they rewarm it and throw it on me constantly.

Occasionally, I wonder why I am always a victim of this lies, though why it always catches up with me is because it seems true. No one would believe it is lies, even the most intelligent could also fall for this particular lie.

Each it catches up with me, I begin to imagine how this lie is fabricated without anyone being able to detect the truth from the fact about this particular lies. It has given me hope, make me feel so important, and I have shaped my life and perspective about life based on this lie.

Only to know that my lie all these while and my mission is building, on the fate of lies, told me by people, who I owe they in a place of respect. I have tried many times to question these people who build lies around me, when and why they felt comfortable telling me the same lie on a regular interval.

Yet most of them couldn't defend the just course for doing that to me, the worst of it all is that the people I respect they much. They are the kind of people, one should accord the most reverend respect in life based on their values, importance, and exposure.

But it is so disheartening, to wake up each day and be faced with the same lies told me by the same people. Everyone understands how bad it could be when a child is constantly prank or deceived his father and mother. That child loses the faith and the trust he has for the words of such parents.

This lie is so fallacious, laconic, and unpredictable idiomatically expensive expression that is highly destructive and has rendered many incapacitated of the truth from facts. Which has blindfolded me into taking deliberate actions to defend the course of this same lie because I thought it was truth told me by these people.

When people lie to be and give me false hopes, it pains me a lot.

How true I have come to realize that this world the

The youths our the leaders of tomorrow

There is no truth in this false hope, this which is a proverb in my country, and lies in the mouth of the most respected members of the society. Since I was a child, many years have gone, more are to come, I have never seen a youth of thirty-five years lead my country, or anchor a position in my country.

But they are colder ones, told me, that the youths our the leaders of tomorrow. Every so often I ask myself, who are these youths? Which of the tomorrow were they talking about? And who were these youths they told me of?

I have been deceived into doing too many nice and ugly things to protect that interests, and protect my country, right from my childhood to make sure I see the youth become the leaders of tomorrow.

But could you believe that I haven't seen myself in the position of any leadership nor my fellow youths assuming any position of leadership as I was told by these old politicians and even my parents too?

This is not truth but facts, and facts are different from truth, just like facts are made of inconsistent lies. Because it doesn't State the truth. I am living the youthful age very soon, in the nearest feature, like they say, but I haven't seen any truth in this expensive lie, of * the youth our the leaders of tomorrow.*

Our leaders are old people, some of which are older than my dad and mama. Example is our president, from the trend of Nigeria political history, no youth had ever been in a position, that is reasonable enough to justify these lies and facts.

Many of us believed this too, and we are still believing in it because it doesn't come as a straight lie but a well theorize proven lies. Of which many people had lost their lives to defend this lie without knowing that it is used to manipulate our emotions, sense of reasoning, play on our ignorant by constantly stating the fact, rather than the truth.

I was first, told this lie by my teachers in the school then I was in my primary school days, they ask me to sing it as a song and go about with it, in that prospective wherever I go. That the youths our the leaders of tomorrow.

But I have realized today that, it was a lie told me by these people, only to establish a fact that is illustrated by a mere illusion.

A lie that had made me do so many wrongs and rights. To protect the nitty-gritty of the proverb, the systematic lie and theoretical, deliberate lie infused and targeted on my perspective and mind set towards the feature to achieve nothing out of its illusion.

It is so painful, I am highly better by the day, to realize so late that this was all lies told me by my teachers, parents and older ones in the society.

A lie that has killed many of my friends, that had rendered us jobless, that had pushed me and many other Nigerians to the wall. We all were blindfolded and still being blindfolding because it doesn't sound like a lie.

Looking like it is true in its meanings. But this is a practical lie, and I regret following and raising my feature and shaping my opinions about life and mind with this lies; now that I have known the truth.
