This narcotic destroy lives and is capable of ruining their future. Some of them are running mad, while others are selling their property, and some are killing themselves. This is worrisome because these are the people we are expecting to take over leadership position from us in the future. So they should shun drugs and excessive alcohol and they should also ensure that they attend schools because education is power. Those whose parents can not afford to send to higher institution should learn trade.
“In the world today, it is either you acquire western education and use it to get job or you acquire skills through apprenticeship. So even if opportunity for empowerment comes up, people can only easily assist those who are either educationally qualified or skillfully trained in one trade or the other.
“About 60 percent of youths in Africa are confused as they are not properly focused in their education. So, I am appealing to you all present in this hall to take your education seriously.”, the Royal father said. Similar advice was also given by former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who equally urge the youths to shun crime and embrace skills and training that we make them self reliant and useful to the society.
