The Clerk to the National Assembly noted that Commonwealth Day is commemorated every year on the second Monday of March to create awareness and understanding among the young people, about the Commonwealth in general and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in particular.
Amos pointed out that ‘delivering a common future’ for the teeming youths in Nigeria “is a huge challenge to parents and the society because of the disturbing circumstances and distasteful scenarios surrounding them today”. jamb results
“The tide must change positively so the next generation is not doomed. Nigeria is fast losing her youth to the obsession with wealth and fortune which has plunged them into diabolical rituals. Our youths now want to become rich overnight while some suddenly turn living horror to their pals”.
“May l ask the question: what type of future are our youths looking at when teenagers and under-aged children are incredibly involved in money rituals? What kind of future is waiting for our youths when the craze for sudden wealth has even overtaken morality and Godliness?
“What future awaits a generation when its youth spends long hours chatting on social media sites yet the long hours wasted online on can be channelled to productive activities that can enable one acquire quality education.”
“For instance, through online tutorials and make good use of online research materials. Over the past two decades, social media have gained so much growth and fame worldwide but the youth and teenagers are the leading and most fanatic of these social platforms to the point that they even use the social network while in class or even at religious places, Social sites impact the lives of our youth in a society a great deal in terms of morals, behaviour and even education-wise.
“Where do we go from here in the face of nauseating atrocities enveloping our society? For me, it is never too late to drag our children and youths from the jaws of certain identified destruction. That is one of the reasons the theme chosen for this year’s Commonwealth Day is timely and very instructive.”
