I strongly agree with Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State in his assertion that Bayelsan Youth (in extension Rivers youth) are lazy. Read here https://www.nairaland.com/3110142/bayelsans-lazy-governor-dickson

They are my brothers but they make me sad.

Most of our youth, particularly the uneducated are not ready to work, they will rather wait for hand-outs from Politicians, Amnesty Committee and Corporate Organisations for Nairabet (will you blame them, their fathers were POOLS addicts), Tramadol (why won't they abuse Tramadol when their Fathers sniffed SNUFFS) and other controlled substances.

In Rivers State in particular, the youth are so lazy and idle (remember an idle mind is the devils workshop) such that they are now willing tools for Satan himself to engage them in clapping (term used for rapid shooting of firearms) at law abiding citizens for no cogent and verifiable reason.

Orashi and Engenni communities in Rivers State are a no go area due to the actions of youth cult groups like DEY GBAM, DEY WELL, ICELANDERS and GREENLANDERS beheading people every other day.

Ogoni communities are a no go area,
Etche communities are a no go area,
Rivers Ijaw water ways are a no go area,
even Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor communities are gradually being overtaken by these lazy scumbags who kidnap people going about their lawful businesses.

How did we get here? LAZINESS AND IGNORANCE!!

A young man who is well cultured and from a well structured family with right parenting will never want to engage in nefarous activities even if he's offered a million Naira. If he is without a job, he will locate his enterpreneural skills and erk a living.

Who is to blame? OUR PARENTS IN THE DELTA, PEER GROUPS, THE POLITICAL CLASS AND THE SOCIETY AT LARGE

A Father who wakes up in the morning to Kaikai (Spirit) and Snuff, soaks himself in alcohol, ends up in Draft Game/Pools Office for the rest of the day. What kind of offspring or parental guidance can such a Father offer?

The child is brought up by the streets and sees laziness as a way of life.

But there are no jobs!! SAYS WHO??

In Port Harcourt for instance, go to Rumuokoro roundabout, the menial jobs are being done by Hausa/Middle Belt boys. You will see these Hausa boys with their wheelbarrows erking a living. At that same Rumuokoro roundabout, the touts are mostly Rivers boys, those harassing motorists are mostly Rivers boys...may God help us, Amen.

Go to Mile One Market, go to Oil Mill Market, go to Ikokwu Auto Markets, go to Town Market, etc... Less than 10 percent of the Traders and Hustlers are Rivers people. Rather those harassing the traders are mostly Rivers people.

Go to project sites, our youth get employment slots yet they sell them to Hausa boys. I visited a project site in Port Harcourt, I wept. All the boys building the drainages were Hausas. If such opportunities were given to our boys, they will show up at noon every other day or they may not even show up till pay day.

Unfortunately, an average Rivers or Bayelsan youth has institutionalised criminality. He is so lazy to the extent that his quest for criminality is insatiable. Same youth collects Amnesty funds, LGA Chairman's Allawee, dues from cult members, matching ground from business owners, yet he still wants to snatch a phone from a poor girl out there, he still wants to kidnap that hardworking woman that owns a boutique, he still wants to rob that bank on the major road...Them swear for una??

It is high time we told ourselves the truth, Warri as a city is paying for the sins of the youth. Our Rivers and Bayelsa youth should learn from other people's mistakes.

The Government has a role to play, create opportunities for our youth to acquire basic education so they can think rationally.

The National Orientation Agency and the media has a role to play. There is need to sensitize the youth on the futility of their actions.

The Religious Organisations have have a role to play. Since these lazy dudes converge in your auditoriums at least once a week, sensitize them on how their lifestyles affect other law abiding citizens negatively.

The Judiciary has a role to play. Any youth caught with firearms should languish in jail.

The Security Agencies have a role to play. They should make the Niger Delta region a virtual panopticon thereby creating that "you are being watched" atmosphere.

The Multinationals have a role to play. Remember when you build the man, you build the community. Dissident groups like the Avengers are springing up because for over 50 years of your operations, you failed to impact lives and environment possitively.

Above all, the family has a very major role to play. Na from Papa and Mama, you fit guess how pikin go be.

I rest my case.

It's a mindset thing..the Niger Delta youths need to understand that true wealth comes from exchanging value.You cannot live all your youthful days consuming and not contributing to humanity and expect to become somebody in life.You can intimidate with strength and weapon today,but what about tomorrow when old age sets in and your strength fails you?what legacy will you be leaving behind?.This is a wake up call for all Niger Delta youths and by extension Nigerian Youths,kill that consumption mentality,seek to create value in life.
He who blames everyone for his troubles will never find solution,so quit blaming your parents,government, etc for your misfortunes,take charge of your life and destiny.

Oil seems to be the source of problem in the Niger Delta, with youths behaving like spoiled children believing they should be pampered, wined & dined for without breaking a sweat. Had an incident some yrs back in trans-amadi - ph where some community youths barricaded and protested that they were being denied jobs by the company and were granted audience by the MD of the company who quickly announced that all graduates or skilled (welders, fitters etc) within the demonstrators should quickly step forward, identifying themselves and would be automatically employed. You could imagine the shock the MD had when in a crowd of over 300 they were able to get less than 10%. Goes to show majority of them spend their time chasing fast money either by selling of their lands, fighting for development levy, permit to operate etc instead of acquiring knowledge that could advance them in life.

N.B They are a lot of youths (Minority) also doing well in the Niger Delta but thats because they chose to. Its a personal decision.

How long have you been in the Nigerdelta, How dare you open your mouth and insult the ijaw man, these are hard working fishermen, the ikweres hard working farmers and traders both upland and riverine, people who where always content and open to strangers, you destroy their very source of lively hood for generations did they beg you to exploit their land what happened to the groundnut pyramids etc everyone is eating fat on the oil wealth of the Niger delta, the Nation has become lazy that should be your headline such a shame, these are people who traded with the British king opobo etc enlightened humble people, you turned them like this even a gentle bull can turn into a beast when it's trampled on, I know the heavy tribalism I faced in shell during my IT days the only opportunities given to my people was to serve as tea girls and errand boys with all the graduates, my dad a hard working retired officer in the Nigerian airforce stayed in a rank for years due to the region and tribal sentiment even if he was more qualified than many goat sellers, such rubbish! I am a graduate from one of the best universities in geology with an msc yet to see an oil and gas work is major wahala even in my region, now your telling me if someone offers me an Ak47 to put an end to this injustice I would gladly do it!!

I DISAGREE WITH POSTER AND THIS IS WHY:

I have seen why many youths are in the dismal situation they are in today. Its not totally their fault it is the Nigerian system that contributes the most effort to make sure the youth fail. How many jobs has the federal, state, local government created for the youth who just left university and secondary school. Some of the youth could not afford to finish secondary school while Buhari can afford to send his daughter to a university in Surrey, England. Everyone is not in the same situation as you. Everyone has not been through the same experiences as you have. Everyone was not born INTO the same conditions as you were. Wake up and smell the Arabica. Don't blame victims for the crime blame the perpetrators. The perpetrators are the elitists and their goons who own the Nigerian system who call themselves: president, vice president, governor, local government chairman, dpo, police constable, politician, lecturer who fornicates with the students in the schools, etc.

Nigeria is hell and it is run by imps and demon-lovers. It makes me wonder how God-fearing folk survive everyday in Nigeria.

anybody that is waiting for federal, state and local government job may have to wait till Jesus comes... how many jobs can they offer apart from civil service work and how many people can be absorbed?

there's is to create enabling Avenue for business to thrive.
