The Nigeria youth is socially amputated at many levels by this devious objectives of a clandestine government who has no plan for the growing population . At another end he create some of this problems as we direct this energies to unproductive ventures like restiveness, hooligalism, cultism, and stealing.

One of the burdens of the youths of this generation is the passive attention they pay to the workings of governance , economic theories, national income and budget system.

The Nigeria youth is buried in sport and entertainment .he knows everything about the football clubs in the world and what they are worth financially but does not understand the importance of the nations’ GDP.He is usually at loss when he listens to the minister of finance reeling out tools for economic analysis.it is difficult for the average Nigeria youth to question their leaders because their knowledge of the working of government is shallow.

It is this failing that makes the youth easy tools for the political class to use. They use them for political thugery and the females are constantly dragged in for sexual experditure. It is truly a  society that works against itself.The leaders whose responsibility is to protect the citizens have turned against the very ones they should care for. It is so because the youths have failed to question their leaders ,they don’t have this courage to demand for justice.

The youths will remain subservient to their leaders as long as they remain dormant in the face of extreme social injustice.

This generation of youths wants instant wealt and it really does not matter how they get it. They had gone to school with the belief that life will show them the sidfe of fortune .now they are out of school only to discover that there are 18 generations of unemployed graduants in Nigeria struggling for job placement.

The Nigeria political leaders have long hijacked the political terrain and locked it against the youths but the youths are still told they are the leaders of tomorrow.It is this deceit and delusional practice that has made the youths to lose hope in the system.

The desperate ones take to crime ;like taking a sword against a sea of sword.The very contented ones find themselves deluded,gasping for breath under the weight of poverty.

The state and Federal government must collaborate to curb this social malady before it gets out of hands.

Employment is the critical issue that must be tacle first.The youths must be gainfully employed to enable them get busy doing things that will enhance the image of the country.

Proper attention should be paid to the educational sector to bring about innovation in the system.No countrycan make any head way while it educational sector suffers setbacks of all sorts ranging from lack of funding to lack of qualified man-power.

Lastly, the youths must read  espand their intellectual horizon, develop strategies and idea. The energy channeled towards football information should be sopread across bigger economic and national concerns foe the purpose of getting a grasp of the working and distribution of economic resources. If their knowledge is sharpened on the proper functioning of government and the dynamics of policy making,they can raise requisitions and criticize government policies contravene the laws of the land .We must develop the strategies to nachieve economic justice Stice and expand the aspiration of nationhood.
