In the past when elders were having certain discussion which they felt would not be too good if it gets into the ears of their children, they tried their best to keep it very private and out of the reach of their children because the implication of such negative matters being discussed or being carried out in the presence of children could lead to disaster. It is most likely that the children may copy and practise those terrible things which they learned or heard from their parents. This is why all parents should try to put their children in the right ways because attitude of our Nigerian youths shows that the orientation they received from their parents contributed negatively in their daily lives. There are other negative aspects which may also influence their behavioural pattern but first getting a good start should begin from their parents which is family value and proper moral upbringing. If you listen to the comments on social media from most Nigerian youths, one would wonder how such group of individuals can be able to govern the country (Nigeria) nicely if given the opportunity to do so because majority of them do not think properly before they act or answer any question put forward before them. These are individuals believed to be educated, somehow it is not their fault but the fault of the Nigerian system based on what they see happening on daily basis in the country (Nigeria) coupled with their lack of family values. Also the corrupt Nigerian politicians who are in the habit of stealing money from the treasury of the country (Nigeria) with impunity. The Nigerian youths who are the leaders of tomorrow are seeing all these atrocities being committed by the people they look up to for guidance and still be singing their praises. Such attitude only tells us one thing which is when it gets to the turn of the youths to lead the country (Nigeria), they would do the same thing or more. The only way such attitude can be corrected in Nigeria is to initiate and implement a radical change in the country (Nigeria) irrespective of who is involved. Get those who mortgage the future of Nigeria for their own selfish gains to face the law and when they are convicted, they should be made to serve a very long jail term. Those who are morally right should keep on preaching the better side of life, good people like that are in Nigeria but very few. Let every Nigerian join the movement and in so doing, things may get better in the long run.
