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. If youth is not empower, it will be a disastrous and leave them no choice to involve in any kind of dirty work.

My point here is that let every nation arise today from words to actions in training their youth to take up challenges and help them build capacities for stable economy. As a youth, I speak, empower me and don't give me crumbs to eat, teach me our to fish and don't give me fish to eat because empowerment is the key factor to grow...

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...

MANAGING DISASTER: WAY FORWARD

MANAGING DISASTER: WAY FORWARD Currently in Nigeria, the approaches adopted towards managing disaster are pro-active approach. The Nigeria Environmental Management Agency (NEMA) embarked on a new initiative in disaster risk management to contain disaster or emergency through pro-active deployment of resources and personnel. This is toward raising awareness and building of early warning system and response mechanisms that can help in term of hazardous period but this could probably be statement alone and not accompany with action. Over the years Nigerians have been experiencing disasters that left most people in a dire poverty situation with no or little help from the government and agencies which lacks capacity and wherewithal to intervene in such difficult situation. Till now in some part of Nigeria, the reactive approach are still in practice because mostly the disaster will have occur before any intervention could be made either indirectly or directly and this would h...
