Nigerian entertainer, recently turned politician, Banky W, has charged youths to do less of criticism and be more active.

This was at the Convergence Event in Abuja, where he spoke the motive behind his contesting for an electoral post. According to him, he is contesting for the sake of his unborn children. Advising youths to act more than they criticize, the singer says he wants to be able to tell his children that he tried. This, he says is irrespective of whether Nigeria turns out to be great or not.

Banky W’s words below;

It’s a lot harder to try, and a lot easier to criticize. It is a lot easier to talk about it, than to do something about it. We only fail when we stop trying, and battles are only lost when you stop fighting. So, don’t just tweet and talk, walk the walk.

I am running for my unborn children, because when our generation is old and grey, and we hand the country over to them, and they asked what we did about the state of affairs, whether Nigeria ends up being great, or forever a shadow of what could have been, I want to be able to look my kids in the face and say you know what? I tried.

Olubankole Wellington recently declared his intention to contest for the Eti Osa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
