Description

Like many others, our nation is an anxious country, a people desperate for answers concerning the problems facing the youth. Soon, about a million young people will be getting into the job market every year to compete for the few places that remain after the IT-fueled changes have revolutionized the workplace and in the backdrop of an economy shrunk by the negative effects of trying to contain infections of Coronavirus. Despite this, a society that is still traditional at heart expects the boy-child to perform well in school, get a good job, buy land in the countryside shortly after, buy a house in the city and a big car, fund a big wedding after paying a hefty dowry and live happily ever after while raising children and serving his community.

Whenever this does not happen—it hardly ever does, actually—the result is a disillusioned young man who is wallowing in self-pity and a toxic mix of other negative emotions. The dissatisfying circumstances and anxiety concerning the future have seen many in this age group turn to alcohol and drugs for solace, with disastrous results.

This book seeks to familiarize the reader with the reality on the ground and how he or she and other social agents can help change the young man’s attitude to save him from self-destructive tendencies and, if possible, guide him on how to navigate today’s volatile socio-economic environment. Everyone has their role to play in giving young people hope if we are to realize the harmonious society that we have been talking about for so long.
