The united nation put the age of the youth between fifteen and twenty four, in Nigeria the national youth service scheme allow graduate of thirty years to undergo the scheme, it means youth age in Nigeria is fifteen to thirty or some say between eighteen and thirty five, is a stage of life toward adulthood. Thus youth are expected to be the most active population of a country, the higher the number of youth the higher the quantity of wealth and national income all things been equal, but reverse has been the case in most developing countries where youth are rendered redundant, or they rendered themselves redundant. According to Anasi (2010) that Nigeria youth constitute about 40% of the population and that youth remained the greatest assets any community will boast of.

Today what we see among youth is total moral breakdown, indiscipline, impolite, bad dressing, dishonesty, vandalism, drug abuse, examination malpractices, cultism etc… Let me mention some causes of these behaviors: bad upbringing, peer influence, drugs, environment, and entertainment. Aside formal training in moral and values in education, the first seed of moral education is to be sown within the family.
