  Nigeria Youth can achieve the Nation's greatness if..... - Posted By: Jerry Nwigwe
I will like to use this medium to appreciate those who participated in person and to those who sent in their goodwill message during the last TIG/CLCWA Conference in Kano. One of the outcomes of this great event is the resolve by Nigeria youth to participate actively in the socio -economic development of the Nation. They also realised that for Vision 2020 to be achieved more needs to be done in areas like youth empowernment programs, value re-orientation and positive youth engagement by the government and other stakeholders. Issues like Health that was not included in the 7 points agenda also needs to be addressed. They also recommended that entreprenuerial development is the key to the nation greatness.Empowernment Programs should be developed for the disable and all the nation educational system need to overhaul.
Just be on the look out for the full report.
Lets build our country, be part of this history.

 Government should Monitor the internet and abhor further Taxation - Posted By: Ritchie
To ask the government to begin to collect tax for the use of the internet is like asking the same government to begin to take tax from individual for the volume of air/oxygen one breath per second. I will like to dismiss this motion as the greatest joke and most callous motion of this century. It is right to think of utilizing the population index of the internet, but in the actual sense of it, it is like charging oneself for eating food on your own table. Every activity of today world order is on the internet. All of us are hook up to the internet and come to think of the importance of this avatar in the business world one will need to think twice before subscribing to this odious opinion. The government should monitor the use of the internet but should not collect additional charges for use from individual in whatever disguise. Already citizens are paying for such directly or indirectly via the ISP Providers.
Every user of the internet usually pays for it directly or indirectly, asking the government to collect tax from users is a duplication of effect and an outright infringement of the fundamental right of the citizens. The economic matrix of the day will not get any better for the revenue generated from such in inhuman taxation. There are many things that the government is already taking taxes of various magnitudes and significance. The internet is here to oil the global economy from multifaceted frontier. The internet presently accounts for the record breaking efficiency of both the government and the private entities. The advent of internet has to a large extent affected every aspect of man’s activity in this ontological void-planet earth. It literally collapsed the physical boundaries that ones divided us apart into various cultural, socio-political and racial backgrounds. To attempt collecting tax for any service of the internet after charges have been taking directly or indirectly will be greatest undoing of our time.
I will rather suggest here that a slight increase be charge ISP Providers to augment for the revenue generated from other sectors of the global economy. More so, this need be done in such a way that the final consumers of the internet services will not face hiccups of some sort on the attempt to meet up financially. It is also expedient now for the government to rather get more attuned on the internet general governance in order to foster expected security of its users as new dimension of crime is setting in gradually. The revolution of the internet cuts across various paradigms of human affairs and as such it will not be out of place to suggest that some miscreant will be out to devise ways to take undue advantage of the unsuspecting teeming users of the internet. It should be cleverly stated that securities of the internet have much more impact on the world economy than securing the fiat to tax individual using the internet. It is crystal clear to everybody and must not be compromise for any reason.
Furthermore, lets not forget that one of the major setback of our present day economy globally is poverty which have kept the better part of the world total population in the digital divide and in total fiasco. To attempt charging extra tax on the use of internet is a gross departure from the United Nations Millennium Development Goal Number One: ‘Eradication of extreme hunger and poverty’ by 2015 and the under-developed Nations of the world will be further pus into obscurity. This will project the greatest for man on this planet as crime will assume the other the day. There will be wars unending and this will surely have a ripple effect on man. It will mess up the rest seven Goals of the MDGs of the United Nation. The population of the world in the digital divide needs to be attended to and this should be the heartbeat of the government instead of thinking how to manipulate the global population of internet users to record economic index jump amidst this mortal tsunamis greeting us all on the bare face.

 Youth...the only agents of change - Posted By: mclato
Every crises originates from one source... lack of impacted development!
Development that is shared, true and concrete can always impede the push of conflict and war. More so, infrastructural development would only be sustained where there is core human development.
Therefore, every young person must start to cultivate special concerns for his/her development. One must first be changed before he can see himself as a change agent.
Also, different authorities -governmentl and public, must envelop and ensure impacting development strategies (through capacity building, entrepreneurial workshops and seminars, etc) which form the foundation to sustaining other development strides.
And i see that the achievement of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty, providing universal primary education to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, all by the target date of 2015 – cannot be reached without the involvement of young people- You and I.
The world’s leaders and all the world’s leading development institutions have stimulated unique efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest regions and siince the adoption of the MDGs by all United Nations Member States in 2000, the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals have become a worldwide framework for development and a means for developing countries and their development partners to work together in pursuit of a shared future for all.
However, though, there have been some gains, much is still left to be done.
Fellow young colleagues, I believe that we are a generation geared to impact the change and actualize vision 2015.
Together, we can achieve this goal -clear the mess we were born to see; make our environment habitable; change the state-of-the-mind of our people to think-first development and sustenance.
Start something strategic in your community today!
