Robert Nav, a 14 year old boy from his room in Spanish Bay, Utah created the most downloaded game in the world for iPhone users. The game Bubble Ball which was released about 2 weeks ago has been downloaded by over 2 million people all over the world. Are you as astonished as i am, are you also wondering the wealth of potential that lies withing such a young person?

Nigeria is also blessed with gifted and talented young men and women however these people have chosen to use their talents for evil rather than good, an instance is the Yahoo internet scam which had Nigerian youths milking millions of dollars from people all over the world. Within us lie great wealth of potential but we have refused to develop into our full blown capabilities,youths cannot wholly be blamed though,due to lack of good leadership and mentorship society has groomed youths who believe in the fast way of life,who have no regard for good moral ethics and hard work, no thanks to flamboyant politicians who steal government funds and flaunt it in our faces,no thanks to the Tafa Baloguns' and James Iboris' of this Country, what happened to the moral of the African adage that says "a good name,is better than silver or gold".

In other to save our Country from peril,we must build a strong  generation that would believe in proactive and positive initiatives. We must develop ourselves into professionals that can compete anywhere in the world. Nigerian youths must invest heavily in personal development. It is our duty to bring forth this Nation from its slumbering state into the African Economic giant that it once was. This responsibility lies with you and i, we must become the change we want to see in our country.


The Nigerian government imports most of the products we consume into this country, from tooth picks to cars,apples and even turkey. All these things we can create for ourselves in this Nation. All hands just have to be on deck. The White race have built airplanes, submarines, nuclear weapons,etc. We must prove tha t the African continent is not full of dull black monkeys like they presume us to be but also the land where great inventors and success stories are born.

Let us all join hands and create a better Nigeria, we must create solutions to problems around us and not add to the problem.
