AREWA YOUTHS Promised to embrace Peaceful Coexistence as Orji Uzor Kalu Calls for Peace Talk.

The Former Governor of Abia state received AREWA YOUTHS for peace talk over their earlier ultimatum to Igbo living in the North.

The delegation of Areas youth led by the chairman of the group Alhaji Shettima Yerima after a successful meeting with OUK promised to sheath  their sword and promised to promote peace and national unity amongst all.

See details from OUK's Facebook Page

This afternoon, I received the leaders of the Coalition of Arewa  Youths led by its Chairman, Alhaji Shettima Yerima . It is the same group that made the Kaduna declaration in which three months  quit notice was given to the  Igbo people living in the North. The quit notice have actually been a source of worry to me because I knew the commitments of our people around the world not to talk more of being economic migrants in nature.

The unnecessary uprising caused by the quit notice inundated me to call them to order as nothing is too much to be sacrificed for peace. I believe the actions of these youth were borne out of frustration and I am happy that they have promised me today that they will further consult to  sheath their swords and denounce their declaration .

Today, they have given me their word of embracing peace and maintaining that no harm shall befall any of our people in the North. I believe in a united Nigeria where fairness, equity and justice are instituted . I also believe that our lives are sacrosanct and no Igbo blood should be spilled at any slightest provocation again .

Escaping Poverty, The Challenges of IGBO YOUTH and The Social Media Effects.

About 90% of our youths can relate to this topic, Poverty and how to escape its dark tunnel.

If your father does not have a company that will absorb you after graduation or has a political clout and influence to assist you with job even as a Personal Assistant to a Special Adviser to the government then you are within the perimeters of this subject.

In Igbo land today, university education is the norm, unlike in the past when after primary school or secondary school parents sends their children to apprenticeship in different lines of business and after 6 years of serving their master they are given seed funding  to startup their own from their Oga, this was how the self enterprising of Igbo people started. We help ourselves.

Something became very disturbing, the few who were education wangle in poverty while the uneducated ones were celebrated and very rich, but approaching retirement the educated ones who has gradually climbed the corporate ladder becomes the captains of different government agencies suddenly their wealth Booms!!!

As an Igbo man who believes that we must survive,  we tilted our ship to education, this is how the youths got trapped in poverty.

Unemployment sets in and everybody begins to find a means out but its never easy because their are lot of persons in the tunnel all trying to come out together but its too hard.

While others engage in political thuggery, some gets into crime then few others keeps submitting CVs in all the company in the country with hope of an interview which they will never get, until maybe a family friend asked them to come become a manager in their small business with peanuts as salary.

Today the advent of internet and social media has helped in reducing the monstrous effects of unemployment and poverty among the youths, though they are still unemployed but once in a while some political figures may call for social media chat that's it, they get invited after the chat they get paid. I can tell you that many youths survive with that today.

The latest trend today is SA on New Media, Media Directors, Bloggers these guys are really living better than some civil servants, though they may not be fully employed but their income in a month put together will leave you jaw dropped.

Social media has helped many persons and still helping but the best method out from poverty is self employment. 

Skill up, sell something, create value and make money. These are  the core components of Making money in this harsh economic weather.

Find a Problem - Solve it - Make Money!
