They don’t want to “sow<br />

today” and “reap<br />

tomorrow”, instead they’re<br />

looking for the scheme that<br />

will make them an<br />

overnight so-called “big<br />

boy”, and such a mentality<br />

will not solve the<br />

unemployment/economic<br />

crisis hitting our nation.<br />

What Nigeria needs at this<br />

time is a generation of<br />

young people who are<br />

willing to put their hands to<br />

the plough and work,<br />

knowing full well that they<br />

may not be instantly<br />

gratified. Every business<br />

takes work and time in<br />

order to become successful<br />

and just like the examples I<br />

have stated above such as<br />

McDonalds, Facebook ,<br />

Virgin and Tesco, the youth<br />

of Nigeria can take solace in<br />

the knowledge that hard<br />

work definitely pays off in<br />

the end.<br />

The youth should<br />

stop following the<br />

Jones’s by living<br />

beyond their means<br />

in an attempt to<br />

keep up with their<br />

peers. They don’t<br />

have to buy the<br />

latest phone or<br />

drive the latest car,<br />

but rather they<br />

should learn to<br />

invest and re-invest<br />

their <strong>money</strong> until<br />

they get to a place<br />

(economically)<br />

where they can buy<br />

those things<br />

without flinching.<br />
