Dear Nigerian Youths, How Can You Actually 'Help' Nigeria!? by MrLuGold(m): 6:51pm On Jun 30, 2012
Regardless of the fact that our dear country is riddled with corruption, ruled by illiterate greedy and previously shoeless thugs, i am still proud to be Nigerian. We shouldn't compare ourselves to countries like the USA and great Britain. Those countries are quite old and have seen their fair share of corruption.

As a matter of fact, the corruption that plagued the US when they were about Nigeria's age is enough to make us look like the Garden of Eden. This doesn't mean we are in the clear, if u compare us to countries the same age and even less resources, we're greatly deficient.

Truth be told, Red passport, blue passport or some of us brown passport (Congo), the blood still flows in your veins.. We have to accept it. Don't denounce Nigeria now because we are in our worst condition. If you've already done so, then good riddance to you.

So the real question is, How can we actually help to make Nigeria better? We have access to all this information, the internet and public figures. Banky W interviewing Fashola hasn't made any changes to our situation. Publicity stunt.. My country is in turmoil, I am not in my little office saying "OMG! Banky W pls tell me what i can do?" His opinion means nothing.

So I ask you, Nairaland users, those of you who really care about Nigeria...What can you do, right there from your room/office/girlfriends beds..to help save our country from these savages?

As much as that sound reasonable, Surpressing the symptoms without first attacking the cause of the disease is not an effective longterm solution.

First step is to get rid of "Government must help me, mindset"; Young graduates need to engage them in futurist skills and stop strolling streets of VI in searching for ready-made jobs. If you have brilliant business ideas, talk to people with liquid, they will make it come true. If you talent in music and dance, explore it, entertainment will lift us all from negativism. Do you know to run TV shows ? that area is barren and there is a lot of opportunity. Bottomline is Nigeria is ours, no matter where you go, you will be treated in disdain, home is our pride.

My plans to help are classified, because of the traitors/sellouts and ambulance chasers in the house.

We need an offline committee to chart the way forward. See you on the field when it is action time.

Those greedy status quo up there won't give up without a long fight. It is going to get bloody and worse befoe it gets better and promising for us and the future genration.

So long, my friends,

Nigerian Youth should ignore politicians and focus of commerce. There exist so much opportunities in areas of lapses that the Government can not provide.

Invest in Solar Energy resourcing and you have market for 160 million customers.
Invest in security company and you have almost 60 million clients
Invest in petroleum sector and you have 100 million potential customers

Sum may think this is off point but dis advise may be relevant to some extent; youths (boys/girls) should stop buying want rather than neccessity, it increases the rate of poverty/corruption and crime and keep drawing us back from making progress. .E.g one boy ten girl griends. in some cases monthly salary N20k u want to live in a mansion like the corrupt senator in ur neighborhood or a student hustling to buy phone of N70k just for show off. Nigeria would begin to get better when the present youth begin to cut coat according to size.

Good points. However, you talked about fururistic skills yet you listed petroleum and security.

I thought futuristic involved reducing green house gases caused by you know what.

Also, if there is good governance, independent judiciary and lack of corruption in police affairs, there would be accountability and less need for security companies. Why should we live in cages Aka our houses, apartments, etc?

Government need to answer hard questions too. It is their duty and our right for them to govern us well.

I need you to state what Nigerian youths can do to help Nigeria, I am not interested in making perfect recommendations, our collective psyche has to be positively altered.

Another suggestion is, if you have brilliant business ideas, jump unto that computer and find foreign direct investment through foreign partners, the era of equity investment and joint venture partnership is here via public private partnership, lovely ideas get financing from even foreign banks as far as their citizen can convince them of the profiteering possibilities, we should help government by removing our dependency on the system and doing a little to hire ourselves and hire our fellow citizens.

My brother, ur comment made a whole lot of sense. A lot of us want to buy all d world. A lot use expensive phones just for show. U can imagine low IQ persons using expensive BB for pinging ONLY. When Curve 2 of 20k 'd serve this purpose and even more. Only 2 percent explore the usage of BB in Nigeria. We all want expensive cars in number when @most 2 simple cars 'll do for convenience sake. We all want to live in mansions with just ourselves, wife and maybe 3kids. When a simple 4bedrooms 'd accommodate us very well. Minding the fact that the kids 'd grow up and live someday. We are all chasing Vanity. Only if we know this. Then there won't be corruption. That's why I so much love the book of the Preacher.
Bros I like your nairaland name...you living up to it.

EXCELLENT TOPIC,THIS IS THE TYPE OF DISCORSE I EXPECT FROM MY GENERATION. FIRST AND FOREMOST I AND ALL NIGERIAN YOUTHS MUST DENOUNCE ETHNICITY/TRIBALISM AND RELIGIOUS HATE. WE MUST STAND BY THE SIDE OF THE TRUTH AND DENOUNCE CORRUPTION NO MATTER WHERE THE PERPETRATOR COMES FROM. IT DOESNT MATTER IF HE IS FROM MY PLACE,IF ITS WRONG IT IS WRONG. MY VOTE WILL GO TO THE MOST QUALIFIED AND NOT BASE ON SENTIMENT OR WHERE THE PERSON COMES FROM, WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER WILL HAVE MY VOTE. WE MUST STAND UP AND ASK OUR LEADERS QUESTIONS,WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCONTABLE FOR THEIR DECISIONS AS IT EFFECT US- THE DAYS OF STUDENT UNIONISM LIKE NANS THAT HAVE CREDIBLE AND NATIONAL OUTLOOK TO RISE TO THE DEFENDS OF THE PEOPLE.
SECONDLY THE YOUTHS MUST EDUCATE AND DEVELOPE THEMSELVES.WE MUST ASPIRE TO EXCELL NOT BY JUST MERE PAYING OUR WAY THROUGH SCHOOL BUT ACTUALLY ACQUIRING THE KNOWLEDGE SO THAT WE CAN POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTE WHEN CALL UPON.IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT MORE THAN 50% OF OUR GRADUATE TODAY ARE UNEMPLOYABLE. DEVELOP YOURSELF QUALITATIVELY. MUCH MORE TO WRITE BUT WILL PAUSE HERE

Lets carry out a TRANSITION...we need to start from our inner mindsets to fight against the ills of our society. At the moment we should start by abandoning what government should do for us and think of what to do for our government. Good that we have varieties of modes for sharing and getting informations with the rampage of the social media outfit around us today. These oppressors of our society does all they can by the help of we youths due to our lazy, greedy and materialistic attitudes to gain what they want ( money, power & respect ). It goes straight to show that for them to take part in any corrupt act they need us and if they are coming in for a change they really need us too. So the future of our country lies in our own hands, and we should stand up now to act on what is right!

Re: Dear Nigerian Youths, How Can You Actually 'Help' Nigeria!? by dvee2: 1:51pm On Jul 01, 2012
FURTHERMORE,OUR YOUTHS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION BY CONTRIBUTING EVEN ONE HOUR OF THEIR TIME TO SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAMMES LIKE WIDOWS,MOTHERLESS BABIES,ETC. WE WRONGLY ASSUME ONLY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE REQUIRED BY SUCH BODIES,I SAY THEY OFTEN WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME WHEN YOU APPROACH THEM WILL ADVISE YOU ON OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP APPART FROM FINANCIALLY IF YOU CANT AFFORD.
AlSO YOU CAN VISIT YOUR ALMAMATER OR ANY SCHOOL FOR THAT MATTER TO ENLIGHTEN THE KIDS ON POSITIVE AND SUCCESSFUL TRAITS. EDUCATE THEM ON HOW YOU BECOME SUCCESSFUL,YOU WILL BE AMAZED ABOUT HOW MANY LIVES YOU WILL TOUCH,BELIEVE ME I HAVE DONE THAT.
SPORTS IS EXTRA CARRICULLAR ACTIVITIES IS A MUST. THE POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH IN THESE AREA IN NIGERIA IS ENORMOUS YET IT REMAIN GROSSLY UNDERDEVELOPED. A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF ARE YOUTHS COULD BE ACTIVE AND EXCELL IN SPORTS WHICH WILL IN TURN BRING NATIONAL HONORS FOR THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER MOST NIGERIAN CITIES TODAY LACK AN AVERAGE FOOTBALL PLAYING GROUND OR BASKET BALL COURT. I LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CITY OF ABUJA,THERE IS NO PLAN OR EXISTING SPORTS CLUB WHERE YOU CAN TAKE THE YOUTHS OUT FROM THE STREET AND ONTO THE TRAINING GROUND. WE CAN EXPLORE PUTTING ONE OR TWO OF SUCH FACILITIES IT DOESNT COST MUCH,YOU WILL BE AMAZED THE TALENT YOU WILL GET.
