Investing In Youths Will Aid Our Journey From Consumption To Production – Obi by DamnnNiggarr(op): 2:43pm On Jul 15, 2024
As the global community commemorates World Youth Skills Day today, I add my voice in raising awareness of the importance of investing in youth skills as a means of promoting employment and sustainable development.

With our predominantly youthful population, where more than half of the people are at their productive age, investing in youth skills will spur innovation and entrepreneurship that will result in the establishment of MSMEs which will catalyse economic growth and development in the nation. As I have always maintained, small businesses, borne out of youth skills, innovation and entrepreneurship, contribute in different ways to the growth and development of so many countries, especially in exemplary comparable countries like; China, India, and Indonesia, to mention a few, which are large in population and have similar demographic features to Nigeria. It is their small businesses and their support for their youth skills, innovation and technology that are propelling their growth.

This day, therefore, reminds us, as leaders, to prioritize investment in youths through practical education, youth skills empowerment and support for innovation and entrepreneurship. This will aid our journey from consumption to production, reduce crime in society and drastically reduce unemployment. I also call on Nigerian youths to pursue learning, self-development and skills acquisition for growth.

We remain committed to investing in our youths as they remain the productive team through which we will build the New Nigeria which is even more POssible now more than ever before. -PO

Youths are the cornerstone of a society's growth, development, and future. They possess the energy, creativity, and innovative thinking that drives progress and positive change. The importance of youths in a society cannot be overstated, and the government must recognize their value and treat them with respect, support, and guidance. Imagine if Spain had no youth, someone like Yamal Lamine and his team of youthful souls, would they have clinched the trophy 🏆 yesterday? I don't think the old Papas can do that.

Youths are: The future leaders and decision-makers, The driving force behind innovation and entrepreneurship, The catalysts for social change and progress, The backbone of the workforce and economy, The custodians of culture, arts, and entertainment; also imagine a Nigeria without the likes of Davido, Wizkid, flavour, Kizz Daniel, tiwa savage, Simi etc, it'll be as boring as hell.

The Nigerian government must throw away their ego and listen to Obi because, not investing and mal-treating the youths can:

- lead to disillusionment and disengagement from society
- spark social unrest and protests
- drive talented youths to seek opportunities elsewhere (brain drain) such as the one we experienced sometime ago.
- increase crime and delinquency
- lead to mental health issues and substance abuse
- stifle potential and hinder growth

Just as Obi pointed out that it is the duty of the government to empower and support the youths in every aspect of the society so as to:

- Unlock their full potential
- Drive progress and innovation
- Ensure a bright future
- Foster a culture of respect and understanding
- Build a strong and vibrant society

It breaks my heart when I see any government parastatal humiliating the youths, and I keep wondering how we came to that level. Governments around the world, especially Nigeria, must recognize the importance of youths and treat them with the respect, support, and guidance they deserve. By doing so, we can build a brighter future for all.

If only Nigerian youths were wise and united, the Obidient Movement would have been a game changer for this country. The corrupt establishment will not invest in the youths lest their eyes open to the realities of what is happening to them.

COMRADES, this is nothing but the truth from a patriotic leader!

But unfortunately, Tinubu, Buhari and the entire APC family both online and offline don't know this fact because they don't know what patriotism is

Whether you like or not; this man is the best person to rule this country.

You are just being a tribalist and religious fanatic to be supporting Tinubu.

Ask yourself, in the last one year, how has life treated you in the I country?

For people to be saying Buhari’s Administration is far better than Tinubu….Ha!!!

Don't say because you are close to APC politicians, and feign away from the truth.
Posterity will judge you and your family o..

Noise maker with no coherent strategy. Quick to react to negative news but silent on positive news. Always reacting to every news. You ruined your chance for ruling this nation with your brand of politics.

IN other words, investing in vocational and technical education so that we can build a critical mass of young people that would build an industrial exporting economy.

Not the sharing ooil money economy we have now.

As gov of Anambra state instead of investing in youth you chose to invest in alcoholic company so that the youths can be drunk and forget themselves

What an incompetent buffoon
