Role of youth in nation building. Nigeria in context

Entrepreneurship is key.

Entrepreneurship is key.

How do you achieve this with an unsuitable environment, illiteracy, massive corruption, bad leadership and lack of other factors associated with entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurship can only help build individuals, their families and their little communities. Besides, every youth might not be good in this.

1. Stop immortalizing crooks and worshiping material things.
2. Should not sell their votes.
3. Emulate their American counterparts by going out en mass to vote during elections;
4. In the case of rigged election; should stand up and say no like the brave Edo people.

With all these in place, other things will have to fall in place as time goes on.

So, you'd rather have people sit around and be non-productive then?

Not at all.
I'm only saying that entrepreneurship work with a lot of factors and those factors have to come in place if we take the steps i listed in my previous post.

There are other factors like electricity, capital etc but i will narrow it down through education:

How does an illiterate become an entrepreneur that will change a nation?

How does this illiterate acquire the entrepreneurial skills without going to school?

How do they go to school when there's no money for tuition and bad educational system?

How do they improve the educational system when their leaders benefit from the dilapidated system?

How do they get rid of these corrupt leaders. . . . . . here there are again:

1. Stop immortalizing crooks and worshiping material things.
2. Should not sell their votes.
3. Emulate their American counterparts by going out en mass to vote during elections;
4. In the case of rigged election; should stand up and say no like the brave Edo people.
