I am a Nigerian youth with a vision.A graduate from University of Jos .I have a vision for the Nigerian youth.I believe in the Nigerian youth.When the purpose of a thing is not know,abuse is inevitable.That is why we need to guide our youth to live a purposeful life.We need to have forums where our youths are challenge for a constructive living.Our Nigerian youth are the future of this nation,we must not allow them to be mislead.I hope to be given an oppurtunity to contribute my enthusiasm to the vision of this ministry.I would be grateful if i am given the oppurtunity to serve in this minsitry either by full emplyment or as a volunteer.But my heart yearns to see our youths using thier minds for great innovations.
Americans,Chinees,Japans that produce all the equipments,cars and other things that we import into this country for our use don’t have two heads.What they simply do is engage their minds constructively and get the necesssary information that they require.And they are doing exploites in different countries.Our youths need to believe in themselves and the talent that has been deposited in them by God so that this country can be transformed.We must help the Youth,the Government must help the youth by creating an atmosphere of emcouragment to their vision.
I don’t know why i am talking like this,but i must say this is a burden to me.Our youths are not using thier minds at all.They are not innovative at all and it is because they don’t believe in themselves,nobody believes in them.This is a challenge we must all put our hands on ground to bring a change.Our youths need to believe in themselves and bring out that thing in them that will make this nation develop.
Thank you.
