In this episode of I Am Change,  we discuss how Nigeria is a country powered by its youth,  with over 70% of the population under the age of 30. Yet, despite their numbers and potential, many young Nigerians find themselves excluded from key political and civic conversations. From the #EndSARS movement to record-breaking youth turnout during the 2023 elections, it’s clear that young people have the power to drive change, but how do we sustain that momentum beyond protests and hashtags?      Joining us is Oluwatomisin Adebukola Badewole, popularly known as The Golden Tomisin,  a journalist, grassroots advocate, and founder of the Nigeria Grassroots Government Summit and Awards (NIGGSA). She shares powerful insights on what it truly means for young Nigerians to engage in nation-building, even in the face of systemic challenges.Together, we explore:Why so many young Nigerians feel disconnected from governanceWhat real nation-building looks like beyond politics and policyHow young people can lead from where they are,  through media, education, entrepreneurship, and local impactThe role of storytelling in shifting mindsets and inspiring civic actionHow to move from protest and burnout to long-term, sustainable changeWhether you’re a young Nigerian seeking your place in the nation’s development or someone passionate about grassroots transformation, this episode is a must-listen.Follow I Am Change Podcast on Social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamchangepodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamchangepod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamchangepod
