BUILD THE YOUTH BUILD THE NATION, DESTROY THE YOUTH DESTROY THE NATION. The youths of today are surely the nation of tomorrow. But, Political, religious, ethnic and economic controversies usually lead youth to violence in Nigeria today. Despite the fact that Government has a major role to play, it is not an issue of the government alone but a responsibility of each and every average Nigerian to make Our country a violent free society so that Nigerians may inherit a better legacy for their future. Youth welfare and development is one of the major important issues that should concern any nation for a better tomorrow. When I say youth empowerment I really mean total youth empowerment,from an average skilled and unskilled youth walking on the street, to youths in various institutions of learning. Because each and every youth in Nigeria has an inbuilt potential that is definitely unique. These skills are supposed to be useful in one way or the other for the growth of our country as a whole through each and every individual’s optimistic effort backed up by the collective effort and support of the government, non-government organisations, private, and corporate voluntary support which will enhance the youth for a better tomorrow. There is quite a large number of skilled Nigerian youths who are graduates in our society and are supposed to be part of the working force for the growth of Nigerian, but they have been subjected to an idle state of unemployment. Unemployment is one of the dark clouds threatening the future of Nigeria and thereby leading many youths to deviate in the mission of joining hands for peace, unity and progress of our country. So, in order to eradicate youths violence in our country, Government needs to invest more in the areas that will benefit and develop our youths which will automatically give strength to the nation’s political, religious, economic, as well as cultural and ethnic issues. Even though, the first step to eradicate youths violence in our country is good home training by parents or guardians and better access to quality education for all. Also Government should try to find a lasting solution to the nations economic problems. Government should also introduce social welfare package for the unemployed youths. Government and NGOs should introduce programmes of self employment to educate and encourage youths to start their own business through workshops, research groups, and discussion groups, to reduce the level of unemployment. Banks and other financial institutions should provide cheap loans and grants for those who wish to become self employed, that is, those who wish to start their own business. May Allah(SWT) bless Nigeria. NO NATION WILL GROW WITHOUT YOUTHS BELIEVE ME OR NOT. Tweet me @koloAbdulsalam.
