Life is not as bad as you think, it could be better by day only if you believe that it will be better. Taste and see that the Lord is good. If every other business has failed you, try steemit and you will see that steemit is the only avenue through which you can bounce back with little or no money and you become a satisfied and hidden force to be reckoned with.
Do not quit, stay back and joined the band wagon of men and women who are making it today in steemit. I know you will make it if only you can pick and gather the broken pieces together. You need not search any more for you have reached where can boldly claim that the sky is just your beginning. It shall be so for you and all who are tired of all the failed business that have ruined you and an attempted has been made on several occasion at taking your life because you are not making it in any business possibly because there are no enough funds to sponsor your business ideas, so they die and you are back to square one. Steemit will turn your life around, you have now arrived, do not quit any more.
@ehiboss, I like what you and your team, @gbenga and others are doing, especially the just concluded Delta campus invasion. This means that students will not depend on parents for school fees any more, this is one of the youths' empowerment and should be encouraged.
In part, I lift from @ehiboss' vote of thanks to the people who made it happen at the Delta State's Campus invasion recently, I hereby lend my voice:
Kudos to @destinysaid, who spent a lot on the event and spent late nights making sure he left no stone unturned (the good-bad guy) @jackdogho and the Delta team. Thanks to @gbenga for the donations at the event, @illuminatus and @bat-junior for being awesome judges, @mimy and @oluwatobiloba for showing them that there is space for women to succeed on the platform, @steve1122 and @pearlumie for ensuring no one got left behind by @ehiboss.
I am touched by this singular act of encouraging your fellow youths, especially students among you. This will go a long way in discouraging students from some activities that were not in the initial plans of establishing our higher institutions.
Chei! God will save out children. They came out here en-mass to register their grievances. Take a look.
John R. Searle in his article "The Campus War" identified many causes of students' unrest in our universities, but I will pick just one of them which is Affluence. He stated as under, that:
The present generation of white middle-class students is the product of a period of affluence unparalleled in the history of this or the other Western democracies. They [157] have grown to adulthood without any recollection of economic insecurity, with no experience of the Depression, and with no genuine understanding of the work and sacrifices that earlier generations have made to produce our present level of prosperity. They have never gone hungry, and they cannot remember a time when dad was out of work. In a very real sense, they take prosperity for granted.
Now, when one takes prosperity completely for granted, certain aspects of one's perception of reality and one's set of motivations are altered in quite striking ways. If one takes affluence as the norm, then poverty seems all the more shocking and unforgivable. People who are personally secure can afford the luxury of being morally indignant and outraged at the existence of poverty and injustice among people quite different from themselves. Where the parents' generation sees the remarkable successes of post Second World War capitalism, their children tend not even to notice the successes but to perceive the contrast between what they regard as the unremarkable norm and the failures and injustices, which appear all the more stark against this background of assumed affluence. In short, the parents see the economic vessel as nearly full, their children see it as partly and inexcusably empty.
Living in affluence - Too much wealth
More important even than the altered perception of social reality that comes from taking prosperity for granted is the change in motivation that occurs as economic insecurity ceases to be the basis on which one builds life and career goals. The parents' generation went to college primarily with the idea that by doing so they would increase their earning power; university education provided the training and certification necessary to pursue a money-making career (or for girls the opportunity to marry men who were going to make a lot of money). Now there are still many students who go to college with these incentives, but there has been a remarkable increase in the number who really do not regard college education as a means of making money -- indeed who are not much interested in making money, or in having any kind of "career" in the traditional sense at all. And it is not merely that the fear of poverty has been removed, but the sense of achievement that comes from getting rich has been weakened by the assumption that affluence is a perfectly normal, unremarkable state of affairs. When your father already has a big house in the suburbs, you do not satisfy your sanctifying urges by repeating what he has already done. Prosperity can only seem sacred to those who do not have it or those who fear losing it.
So, if this analysis is right, capitalism is hoist doubly by the petard of its own successes, for instance:
The elimination of insecurity in a class of young people enables them to perceive and be aroused to fury by the injustices and unevenness of the system that created their security; and
The security is so great as to remove from the beneficiaries much of the motivation that created it in the first place.
Students' Unrest in one of the universities
However Yalokwu (1992)'s definition of student's unrest caught my attention, where he stated that "the causes of students unrest are; religious intolerance, unemployment of graduates of institutions, rural killing(s) of students, inadequate home training by parents, lack of inadequate infrastructures and facilities in educational institutional, inadequate vehicle for transportation of students, breakdown in communications between the authorities and students, students academic stress, too much failures in courses offered by students, banning of students union activities within the campus, inadequate health facilities for students, connivance of staff of institution to achieve their goal(s), selective victimization of staff and students of institution, interference of government in institution affairs, introduction of obnoxious economic, political and other policies, and international issues. Some other scholars have stated that socio-personal, educational and vocational pressures on students, cultism, rigid rules, inadequate infrastructure, communications gap, individual’s indiscipline, students’ politics, students’ intimidation by staff and students of the institution, external influence and family influences are some of the factors that cause students’ unrest in Nigeria."
Masked students enter a building of the Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. Students' unrest cuts across the globe. See them:
Akagu, 1995 also stated that "the students’ unrest has caused more harm to our educational system . It has contributed to non-recognition of some Nigerian higher institutions certificates across the globe, building vandalism, armed robbery, raping, and other criminal activities.
He suggested therefore, that to make Nigeria better, the researchers should find out the effect of students unrest in higher institutions and possibly proffer solutions since the student’s unrest was not part and parcel of the early higher institution education in Nigeria."
One of the unpleasant effects of students' unrest - Cultism
But have we been able to achieve the desired results on the aims and objectives of the establishment of higher institutions? Not yet, instead the greed of our leaders has worsened the situation of things in our universities. It is even creeping into secondary schools, if not into primary schools. Let us catch them young by teaching them how to fish and not giving them the fish every time.
Steemit is part of the answer because youths who are independent through steemit are as free as air like their adult counterparts. Steem on our students and youths - fly higher and higher, I hail you.
