The rate at which Nigerian youths in rural areas move to township is becoming alarming. Every year, thousands of school-leavers rush to urban areas to seek for employment. This results into overcrowded cities and depopulated country sides. The attraction to the city is intensified, by the presence of young men and women who normally troop home during festivals to show off with their posh cars and display their wealth. This is indicative of th fact that the cities hold tremendous prospects to people. Consequently, most of our youths nowadays wrongly regard agriculture as a poor man's business. They prefer white-collar jobs to farming and are unaware that in most developed nations, agriculture provides ready employment for people who live in rural areas. After all, agro-based industries cannot be a reality without the production of agro-based raw materials. In spite of this, the youth do not think that living in the villages is worthwhile. This is why they hasten to the cities unmindful of the hazards. On getting to the townsip, they are disappointed. What they think to be an island becomes nothing but the the back of a whole. Frustration sets in. They look for a way out be resorting to stealing and gradually becoming armed robbers and into prostitution and cultism. Country life with its fresh air is forgotten. What one finds in the villages are worn out old men and women and children who toil ceaselessly with knives and hoes on the worn-out soil. Because of this drift, valuable customs, craft and arts begin to die as a result of lack of continuity. Our youths need orientation, if we are to move forward. Goverment should realize that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. It's high time the rural areas were remembered in terms of social amenities and development. Empty promises during elections have lost thier charms. LET US VOTE WISELY.
I AM OBEDIENT.

Well, the rural areas are too often neglected by the government.

Sadly, this wouldn't be an issue if Nigeria had a proactive and responsible government.

Someone to orient them?

yes

Tetolajnr:
yes

I guess farming is good orientation. It teaches where food comes from. And those who farm should not starve.

We should post a vacancy:

Orientator Required For Youths

Though I wonder if it shouldn't rather be:

Orientable Youths Required

The Force is with you Tetolajnr.
