The Rules Have Changed!

Face it, the rules have changed! Because only those who can adapt will smile.
Nigeria is a blessed country with natural God given endowment, but is very pathetic seeing young Nigerians refuse to engage themselves in an activities that make them contribute to the growth of the country, rather they chose to do otherwise by doing all sort of things which has painted Nigeria black in the eyes of the world.
Many youths have refused to change their old ways of doing things because they don't believe in themselves. They don't believe they can do better than their present situation by mere understanding, what they want and try to seek information on how to accomplish their desire.
Many youths today refuse to challenge themselves by channeling their minds towards a future but kept on spreading the virus that Nigeria can not be a country we all desire. Even the older ones who possess the better financial capability engages in cash flight instead of investing such money in the country to create more employment opportunities for our upcoming generation.
Nigerians youth should not cultivate the habit of participating in those vices going on in their environment and country as a whole rather they should engage in activities that will boost the economy of Nigeria.
If the youths could recall in November 2007 when the 2008 budget was first presented by President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua, the Director of Covenant University said that the amount allocated to Educational Sector was equal to the amount his school intend to spend.
The picture I want us to present is that the budget allocated to Nigeria educational sector which includes Universities, polytechnics, college of education, secondary and primary schools is equal to the amount one private university has budgeted to spend in improving the education standard of its system.
What is the implication of this ?
One can deduce that this years budget has no plan for Nigerian youth owing to their failure in making adequate provision for them in terms of educational development.
The youths should drop the old thinking by believing that nothing would work in Nigerian and take the new thinking because the rules have changed!
The only thing in Nigeria is to get the right idea and be smart, the smart people (youth) start immediately and chose between the tiny and the autobahn, because leadership start today.
It is also pathetic that a graduate in any Nigerian universities who have undergone one computer course or the other during his/her course of study would still not be able to operate a computer conveniently except for the purpose of checking mails.
The youths of today must quit giving excuses or waiting to start and look for people who have strength in their own weakness because the rules have changed.
What You Know ? Who you know ?
The youths should also make use of I. C. T. opportunities to get information.
WATCH OUT ! THE RULES HAVE CHANGE !
