For decades,this precious day has remains important in the lives of many Nigerian kids who earnestly awaits this particular day. Traditionally,schools are granted a holiday to enable them full participation. This once a while celebration are fully packed with lots of social actitives centred on them. Infact there is no adult,who did not pass through childhood stage[except Adam] who doesn't know the real value of this inventful memorable day. Children are priveledge to visit different places of interest such as the amusement parks,national theatre,national museum and other important places. More over, to honour children on all this inventful day state government are often entertained with different cultural dances and match parades and the best school in performances are rewarded accordingly. But unfortunately,that was then. Things has fallen apart,children are no longer considered as the leaders of tomorrow,from their conducts and body language. Even, children's welfare no longer matter to them..

Frankly speaking, children deserves the best nurturing and good upbringing,yet government are owning parents both salaries and pension for years now. Every child deserves the right to quality education,yet schools are on strikes,teachers salaries are still pending,what actually do we expect from them? Coupled with kidnapping, unknown gunmen,high rate of inflation,unemployment,insecurity and high rate of corruption and many others have remain a threat to the foundation of our future leaders. From all indication,with their body language,the chance of children becoming leaders of tomorrow is nothing but pure nightmares.
