They don’t want to “sow today” and “reap tomorrow”, instead they’re looking for the scheme that will make them an overnight so-called “big boy”, and such a mentality will not solve the unemployment/economic crisis hitting our nation. What Nigeria needs at this time is a generation of young people who are willing to put their hands to the plough and work, knowing full well that they may not be instantly gratified. Every business takes work and time in order to become successful and just like the examples I have stated above such as McDonalds, Facebook , Virgin and Tesco, the youth of Nigeria can take solace in the knowledge that hard work definitely pays off in the end.
The youth should stop following the Jones’s by living beyond their means in an attempt to keep up with their peers. They don’t have to buy the latest phone or drive the latest car, but rather they should learn to invest and re-invest their money until they get to a place (economically) where they can buy those things without flinching.
