Not unless something from the leadership changes. Good leadership tickles downwards, and bad leadership also have the same effect. If youths are meaningfully engaged, they won't have time for such nonsense. An idle man is a devil's workshop.

Bills must be paid, money must be made, the home must be kept, children must eat, all this and many more are some of the hard truth that is making moral decadence to be on the high side because parents no longer have time to raise up children with sound values
Let's just hope for wisdom to be able to balance our finances and home

God grant us all wisdom!

The blame on is on all leaders of the country. If things were working properly in the country, the youths will have a positive mindset to life. A situation were most of their parents are struggling financially and are mostly disrespected in their homes because they can't provide fully for their families. Until Nigerians vote in sane humans and not thugs and those who have attributes of a cartel, nothing will change.

Hello Nairalanders,
I brought this here to weigh public opinion of like minds.
I'd make this really brief..

its highly disturbing to say the least, that 95% of kids born from 1997 till date in Nigeria are just something else. They're 'highly' low on morals, they're very dull(very low I.Q), almost always on drugs and alcohol, unclad dressing, very disrespectful and disregarding to elders, almost always violent, have a wrong perception about life, vulgar words, these just to mention a few.

Now, I'm a highly principled man, in my time I dare not greet an elder looking at their eyeball or even talk back a them, I don't even stay out late(not that it was enforced but my environment just put me in line)..

The parents and peer group influence in my opinion is solely responsible for this turn-out.

I was at the mall a couple of days ago, on my way out I encountered a cluster of young girls beckoning on me, dresses half naked, there was another cluster at the other side of the road standing(some dancing), this was on a Wednesday evening! Not even to mention the males, those ones are the most useless! go to any Pharmacy, you'd always encounter a cluster of young boys lining up to buy drugs of all sorts, their jean is always on their thighs, always paranoid, oozing and looking unkept!

Sadly, the above mentioned is not really what bleeds my heart, the thought of drug users and semi-prostitutes raising children for the next generation is my challenge! Children getting married to fellow children is now the norm, every body is rushing.. I'm 30 plus and still not married because I'm still being extremely cautious, while a 23year old is saying he wants to get married oh, all his guys are'..

What would the product of such union be, A UNION OF TWO PEOPLE SO LOW ON MORALS?? if this generation is this bad, then I really fear for the next..!

Fellow Elders in the house, what can be done to remedy this issue?
Children in the house, what exactly is your problem??

MODS, if you like don't do the needful..

If we the people vote and/or otherwise allow thugs to be our leaders, then why is our collective rottenness the fault of the leaders only? I don’t understand please.

blaquebelle:
Go and have a rethink. Check the so-called developed countries where things are working properly like you mentioned. You will realise that they have the lowest morality rate. Especially because they have no problems and so they have more time on their hands to wake up and do crazy things out of boredom and freedom.

In as much as i agree with you a 100%, you don't take what belongs to the child and throw it to the dogs. Nairaland is a breeding ground for low IQ idiots, so wait till you encounter a more discerning mind before pouring out your wisdom.

Brian47:
Oga where did you get this statistics from?
I was born in the 2000s and I'm very respectful and iI dey greet my elders oo.
I am not too good at calculations like that, that doesn't mean i get low IQ na

Lexkenny99:
Absolute truth. Do we even know what is wrong with us?

blaquebelle:
OP so what do you want us to do,?

Not a valid enough excuse.
I'm part of the said youth in question, and in my time, things were not so rosy as well.
I scaled through life even when I could've chosen the easy way out.

Fairview1:
Blame the media not the genZ.

Things you see at your area doesn't mean that's how life is in Nigeria.....

FREEBNB:
oga go sleep jor u just dey talk nonsense. alot of people at 20+ don build their life so why can't they get married. me @27/28 I'm getting married. go check White's 20+ are getting married. if u get money marry early so you can see your great grand children... na only poor man dey reason like you wait till you reach 80 before you marry Wiseman.

SKhanmi:
Not interested in dates. And I'm not a religious adherent either.

Face the facts, our current civilization is on its natural downward trend which isn't suprising considering preceding factors. I laugh whenever I see folks like you, it shows most people aren't cognizant with history or believe their so called holy books.

You either go with the flow or protect yourself and your immediate family against it the best way you can.

What you're currently doing is looking down from a high horse thinking you're any different.

It'll be ironic if you later end up marrying an undercover jezebel and your children end up turning out the same way. Life has a way of dealing with sanctimonious so called principled men.

Your comments on this thread are sweeting my belly.

Good for you, not everyone that might have gotten the opportunities you had. The street is very tough and anti productive which to me is deliberately done especially by this present government to frustrate the youths. Until you realize that political policies have a way of influencing the standard of living, the better for you. A messed up environment, is a breeding ground for cultism, thuggery, prostitution, corruption etc.
The funny thing about life in the country, people who you think are highly respected or religious are most times into one shady deal or the other. The mindset of majority of people are already messed up and it will take years for it to change. People are just wicked and criminally minded these days. Until we elect credible leaders, things will get worse.

Maverick777:
Guy, it is highly irresponsible to always look for an excuse in life in life situations... Are you saying there are no positive or legitimate ways to make money because of bad government? I don't want to tell you what I did to make my first million...
Trust me, your excuse is highly irresponsible and is the reason the youths have degenerated to this level!
