Empowerment is a key factor

Many countries today believe that youth are the leader of tomorrow, yes, I succor to that but that statement seem not to be true. If youth are the leader of tomorrow there should be a proper arrangement of empowerment scheme to help them grow to become  leaders. The statement is only in word alone and not in action. I have seen many youth who are interest to lead, gain experience and ready to serve their father land but opportunity or the environment is not available. We should stop deceiving our-self with statement alone and get down to work to empower the youths because that is the only way to grow our country and build capacities and ensure the right attitude is imbibe by our youth.

FLOOD COULD CAUSE NIGERIA POTENTIAL DAMAGES

FLOOD COULD CAUSE NIGERIA POTENTIAL DAMAGES   Well, little effort has been put in place in order to help combat the unforeseen flood disaster. Among this is awareness to help people prevent these challenges, building of channel for water passage, drainage and evacuating the living and building along the water path. Despite the effort putting in place people still show nonchalant attitude toward flood awareness program. I would still say that if Nigeria experiences more rainfall that is beyond that of 2012, many lives and property worth millions will be destroy as a result of nonchalant attitude of the people, small size of drainage system and low quality of material for building drainage system and inaction of the leaders. The Heavy rain fall experienced by Nigerian cities early 2012 killed 363 and rendered useless over 2,100,000 people as of November, 2012(Reuters, 2012) The cities such as Lagos, Ibadan (oke-ayo and Eleyele), Plateau, Jos, Cross River, Borno, Benue, Kog...
