  NIGERIA YOUTH GO FOR REGISTRATION NOW - Posted By: Ritchie
We are not just number or sort of biological accidents here in Nigeria. Our vote counts and we make up to about 40% of Nigeria entire population. We cannot have good electoral democracy in the absence of credible participation of the young people of Nigeria home and abroad. Our vote’s counts. It is now or never. We can partner with the adult to make things work in this great country. We are the future hope of Africa and we cannot afford to fail this expectation. We cannot have that dream jobs if the governance in shambles and shackles. Someone needs to rise up to this challenge. ‘Yes change can really happen if we care’ I personally care and what about you?

From my recent interaction with the INEC institute in Abuja FCT, during my internship the federal Capital, I discovered that the voter registration in now a continuous thing in various INEC offices across the Nation. It is now young people can capture good governance by going to register if one has not by now. Also, encourage others to do same. We cannot be use again by some ambitious politicians as thugs or to cause violence….Arise oh compatriot, Nigeria calls obey now. We can choose our leader by credible participation in the electoral process. Please rise now and go for registration if you have not.

Advent of Child Labour - Posted By: Ritchie
Child labor is not a concept that metamorphosed from the tiny space but a syndrome we witness daily in our society that is gaining prominence with time. It has been in practice in some developing or under-developed society where a couple give to birth up to nine or twelve children without a stable source of income daily or monthly so, the children are force to carter for themselves at a very tender age. In most cases, the parents involve the children directly or indirectly to act as assist in the execution of certain labor that will generate income at the end of the day. This is a mortal crime against Mother Nature.
Most of these couples in the under-developed States probably went into marital union with sole objectives to generate extra Labor force to assist in the process of survival. In the advanced Nations of the world things are quite different, rather certain agents helps to facilitate an indecent trade of Human trafficking from the poor developing Nations . The victims are usually kidnapped or deceived into the deal that will later turn out to be child labor. Most of the victims are usually uneducated. The United Nations in the article 32 of the Human Right of the child stated categorically:
'States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development'
In some parts of the world it is considered exploitative and inappropriate for an employer to engage a child of certain age description to work regardless of the child's expertise and willingness to work. It is usually enshrine in every Nation's constitution that a child of certain age bracket should be exempted from physically- demanding jobs. But , in the average family in the under-developed Nations of the world where subsistence agricultural farming is the only source of survival, parents involves their kids in the farming activity.
More so, in the warring nations children are recruited to serve in the same force as their own fathers or even elder ones. This is usually done against the wish of these little ones. The greater victims or casualties or wars in developing Nations are the children. When will this drudgery stop? when will man actually attain the full age of civilization. Could you imagine a child of 9 or 11 serving as child soldier in the creek of Africa or Asia while his colleagues in real life are taking tea in an air-conditioned classroom apartment in the United State of America.Who should be blamed for this ?
It is time the Ngos, Civil societies, Military and Heads of States of Nations of the world rise up to fight this monster and eradicate such practices permanently in this sane century.
