Kidnapping scheme is becoming attractive even to Nigerian youths. They are learning to put quick filthy money scams over honesty, hard work, integrity and academic excellence. As young as those kids are, they were planning to siphon N500,000 – half a million Naira from the parent of one of them. Nigeria, where is thy future? The country has been heading in the wrong direction for decades that even now, the younger generation have inherited aspiring for the wrong priorities and emphasis on ill-gotten money. Society has no conscience and our children are following the path to destruction. Our leaders are cursed, having no interest to safe-guard or preserve our nation’s integrity. Their only purpose in government is to embezzle money and our children are watching. As leadership be, so shall the followership. This is nauseating and pathetic, sad for our youths and disastrous for Nigeria. We see why other countries don’t want us to contaminate their citizens.
